      The customs in different countries are rather different. If I have dinner with a Chinese host, he always
puts more food onto my plates as soon as I have emptied it. That often discomforts me greatly. I have to eat
the food even if I don't want to, because it is considered (认为) bad manners in the West to leave one's food
on the plate. I have already noticed that when a Chinese sits at an American's dinner party, he very often
refuses (拒绝) the offer of food or drink though he is in fact still hungry or thirsty. This might be good
manners in China, but it is not in the West at all. In the United States, it is impolite to keep asking someone
again and again or insist on his accepting something. Americans have a direct (直接的) way of speaking. If
they want something, they will ask for it. If not, they will say, "No, thanks." When an American
dislikes the beer served by the host, for example, he might say, "No, thanks. I'll take some diet Coca-Cola
(可口可乐) if you have it." That is what an American will do. So when you go to the United States, you
had better remember the famous saying: When in Rome, do as the Romans do.

     As the sun rose, a dewdrop (露珠) woke up.  There it sat on a leaf, catching the sunlight. Proud of its
simple beauty,  it was very happy.  Around it were other dewdrops,  some on the same leaf and some on
other leaves. The dewdrop was sure that it was the best, the most special dewdrop of them all.
     Ah, it was good to be a dewdrop.
     The  wind  blew  and  the plant began to shake,  tipping  (使倾斜)  the leaf . The  dewdrop  became
