Dear Helena,

  I was brought up to take off my hat whenever I was indoors. Nowadays,I often see young people eating at a restaurant wearing all kinds of hats. Have manners changed?

Sincerely,Gent Dear Gent,You're correct that traditionally men should remove their hats in restau?rants to show good manners. The reason was that a man's hat was designed to protect him from the dust,so it migh,be dirty. Women,on the other hand* traditionally kept their hats on when dining out. Their hats were designed to be eye-catching,and were usually connected to their hair with a hatpin (帽针) ,so taking them off would be difficult.

  These days,whether it's suitable to wear your hat in a restaurant depends on the hat- not on your sex. There are two types of hats. The first is a statement hat,chosen to draw attention to the wearer,such as a beautiful vintage cloche with a nice hatpin. The second type is a comfort hat like an old baseball cap that you wear to hide the fact that you haven't washed your hair for some days. Your comfort hat may be acceptable in a coffee house,diner,or other casual settings,but if you're going out to a more formaK正式的) dinner,you should leave it at home.

  A statement hat,on the other hand,is perfectly suitable in a restaurant. You should not remove it,just like you should not remove your shoes at a par?ty. Doing either could ruin your whole look.  

  Karen Hatfield is co-owner of Hatfield's Restaurant in Los Angeles. She actu?ally considers it a good thing if you are wearing a statement hat. "I'm glad when I see hats because it means they put some thought into their outfit,"she said.

Sincerely,Helena

   My friend Paul will never forget his first chemistry teacher. He was a lit?tle man with thick glasses,but he had a strange way of making his classes lively and interesting. And his lessons were not easily forgotten.

  Paul remembers one of his first lessons from this teacher. After the students were all in the chemistry lab,the teacher brought out three bottles. One was filled with petrol,one with castor oil (蓖麻油) and one with vinegar (醋) ."Now watch carefully," said the teacher.

After that,he held up one of his fingers and showed it to the class. He then dipped it into the cup. After a few seconds he took his finger out. "Now watch," he said.   "Remember,you must do everything as I do.” He put a finger in his mouth,tasted it and smiled,looking rather pleased. Then he handed the cup around the class of students. Each student dipped a finger into the mixture and sucked it. Instead of smiling,each of them made a face. The mixture tasted terrible.

  When the cup was at last returned to the teacher,he said sadly, "I'm sor?ry .none of you watched carefully enough.
