The other day Roy Price went "home" to his sister's house. It's her home, but it's also the house he
was born in. Pat, his sister kissed him and said, "You haven't changed much, Roy. Let me see, now
when did we meet last? ""Twenty-five years ago," he answered. "I came here for a week, do you
remember?" He added, "You haven't changed much, either. " It was polite for Roy to say so, but it
wasn't true. Pat seemed almost an old lady.
The next morning Roy walked through the village alone. The place looked very different. There were
lots of traffic signs on the roads and beside the roads, there was a new car park, a new post office, a
new bus stop. He remembered sudetenly that the bus used to stop everywhere, you just put up your
hand and it stopped. One surprise followed another. The railway station was gone. The school was gone, a lot of farm machinery stood in the playground.
But Roy's biggest surprise was the people. He didn't recognize (认出) anybody at all, perhaps
because every one seemed old. He went into the post office and bought some stamps. "Where are all the
children and young people?" he asked the postman.
The old fellow looked up from his book of stamps. "Children? " he said. " They're in school, of course.
There are three or four young families here. The children go to school by bus to Horham. " Horham was
a town about twenty kilometers away.
At lunch Pat said, "The village looks nice, doesn't it?"
"It's all different, Pat. It used to be an exciting place. But now it's full of old people. I don't
understand ..."
"There are a few new comers, but the ones we knew are still here. You're exactly young yourself,
Roy, are you?"

From the time we were babies we have been taught manners. We are taught how to hold a knife and fork and not to talk with our mouths full. We are taught how to shake hands and when to stand and when to sit and the way to introduce people.
Sometimes good manners in one place are very bad manners somewhere else. Almost everywhere eating together means that people are very friendly to each other. But in parts of Polynesia(波利尼西亚)it is bad manners to be seen eating beside each other. So they politely turn their backs to each other when they are taking food.
Some East Africans spit four times as a kind of blessing(祝福).They do it to show that they want a sick person to get well,or to bless a new-born baby. In most other places,spitting means something completely different. It usually shows an unhealthy habit. In many countries,it may mean that you hate someone.
When we go to visit someone we say “ Hello!” Or “ How are you ? ” or things like that.
But if you are visiting an East African village , everyone will be very careful not to pay attention to you, The polite thing there will be for you to go quietly,without speaking to anyone, and sit beside your friend. You should wait until he has finished what he is doing and then he will begin talking to you.
In a village in Arab , a visitor will walk behind all the tents until he gets to the one he wants to visit. If he passes in front , he will be invited into each tent and asked to eat. It is rude to refuse.

In fact, it’s a serious problem not only in China, but also in the whole world. It’s reported that the world population is expected to reach 9,200,000,000 by 2050. There are two important reasons.
