The class was right in the middle of a math problem. Suddenly, Joe laughed out loud at the back of the classroom. Everyone stopped and looked at him.
“What are you laughing at?” Mr. Steinman.
“Nothing.” Joe answered.
“Joe. Office. Now,” Mr. Steinman became angry.
“Fine, I’d rather be there anyway.” Joe said.
“I’ll be calling home after school, too,” Mr. Steinman said.
“Ask my mom to buy pizza for dinner when you call,” Joe suggested.
His teacher opened his mouth to reply, but thought better of it. Instead, he continued the maths lesson. Joe took his time to get to the door. He stopped to sharpen his pencil.
“Joe! Get out now. You don’t need your pencil in the office,” Mr. Steinman said.
“I want to be prepared,” he tried to look confused, even though he knew what he was doing was wrong.
Joe left the classroom. Sadly, he didn’t know how to do his homework, which made him sigh (叹气). Then he arrived at the office and sat in his familiar chair, waiting to get shouted at again. Once he got home, he’d be in trouble with his parents, and tomorrow he’d repeat the whole process.

When two people meet, there are a lot of ways of greeting. The ways of greeting are not always the same in different countries.
In America, two people usually greet each other with a handshake. It is a way to show respect(尊重)to the other person. Athletes from opposite teams shake hands before a game for the same reason. However, most Americans don’t shake hands when they meet people they have already known well. When American friends meet each other, they might only wave(挥手), or maybe just nod(点头)their heads.
In New Zealand, there is a special way of greeting called “Hongi”. In the greeting, two people press their noses and foreheads(前额)together and close their eyes. This is an old tradition that comes from the Maori, who were the first people to live in New Zealand. Even today, many New Zealanders still press their foreheads when they meet.
Kissing is sometimes used as a way to greet someone. In some countries, important people used to wear special rings. It was the custom for visitors to kiss these rings when they came for a meeting. In France, when people meet, they sometimes kiss each other on the face.
In Japan, people bow to each other every time they meet. Even family members bow to each other. People decide how low to bow depending on how respected the other person is.
Today, new ways of greeting are created all the time. People can do this with a quick “hi”, a handshake, or even a simple smile. The important thing is that the people they are greeting understand them.
