What comes as a shock to many Westerners may be the unfriendly way that some Chinese treat waiters and waitresses in restaurants and bars. Over the last few years,as many in Beijing have made fortunes,I and many of my foreign friends have noticed a downturn in the treatment of those who work all hours and often live in terrible conditions to bring us our food,guard our homes and sell us clothes.It's not the common citizens,but the young nouveau riches(暴发户) Chinese in Beijing who are mostly guilty of this both social and human misbehavior.
It is not unusual to see and hear these people,especially the young women among their ranks,speaking rudely to the waiters and waitresses,as they sit there in the misguided belief that the latest mobile phone,a new car and designer clothes give them the right to talk to people like dirt.In one recent incident(事件) in an expensive restaurant near where I live ,I overheard the table next to me,two guys and a girl,tell the waitress "You really are stupid ",because she had brought them two glasses instead of three.They all burst into loud laughter as the young girl ran away to fetch another.In anther incident I saw a waitress reduced to tears as four well-dressed girls criticized everything from her accent to her looks.
Lately I have noticed that this rather unpleasant aspect of the nouveau riches has been taken up by many of their foreign peers(同类人).So I ask Beijing's bright young things to set a good example,and treat all people with equal respect.And I urge foreigners to follow the good examples of their Chinese language teachers and textbooks while adding some of the pleasantries of their own cultures,so that cultural interpenetration(相互渗透) has a positive influence and not a negative one.
Here I'd like to leave you with the words from Confucius:"What you do not wish for yourself, do not "do to others."

With the invention of the Internet several decades ago, do you feel that since then it has made us human beings feel more connected to the world and one another, or has it isolated(使孤立)us and made us feel more alone than ever before?
What about you as an individual?
● 2 The Internet enables us to know what’s happening in the world．We couldn't imagine talking to people everywhere in the world twenty years ago．
● 3 It unites us because we talk to others from all around our country and the world, but the Internet can be addicting, and keep us away from people for a while, There is an inherent(内在的)human need for direct human contact(e．g．touching, talking face to face, etc．)that the Internet has all taken away．
● 4 It has given me freedom beyond my imagination．I’m home-bound with many duties to attend to．My life is a bit too crowded．Duties duties duties．I get lost many times not knowing who I really am！This medium is my best friend．It just lets me BE！I can speak here without fear or favor．
● 5 Chatting online is completely different from hanging out with friends outside or hearing their voice over the phone．I find that it’s not just the Internet that has increased this sense of isolation, even iPods, MP3s, such devices can separate us, make us lose focus on the everyday happenings of life．
A．I think that the Internet isolates as well as unites us．
B．I believe it unites us more than it isolates us．
C．Do you feel that the Internet unites us or isolates us?
D．What is happening in the world today?
E．The Internet is playing a more and more important role．
