Different countries and different people have different manners.We must find out their customs so that they will not think us impolite.Here are examples of the things that a person with good education does or does not do.
If you visit a Chinese family, you should knock at the door first.When the door opens, you will not move before the host says“Come in, please.”After you enter the room, you would not sit down until the host asks you to take a seat.When a cup of tea is put on a tea table before you or sent to your hand, you will say“Thank you”and receive it with two hands, not one hand, or they will think you have ill manners.Before entering a house in Japan, it is a good manner to take off your shoes.In European countries, even though shoes sometimes become very dirty, this is not done.In a Malay(马来人的)house, a visitor never finishes the food on the table.He leaves a little to show that he has had enough.In England, a visitor always finished a drink or the food to show that he has enjoyed it.This will make the host pleased.

Every night the stars seem to move slowly round the sky in a great circle(圆周).But one star is dif-ferent from others.It looks as if it never moved.To us, it is always in exactly the same place all thetime.It is called the Pole Star(北极星).It is not a very bright star, but it is very important.Sailors use the Pole Star to find out where they are moving to.
The amazing(令人惊奇的)thing is that the stars are all so far away.If you travelled in the space-ship for a hundred years you would still not reach the nearest star!
A star is really a great ball of burning gas(燃烧的气体),like the sun.Some stars are much bigger than the sun, But they are all so far away from us that they just look like dots(圆点)of light.
On the clearest night you can count about 2 000 stars.This may seem a lot, but with a telescope you can see many more.The better the telescope, the more stars you can see.Scientists tell us there are millions and millions of stars.No one know exactly how many there are.
