Sam hated doing chores. And he had many chores.  For example, on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays he took out the trash. And on weekends he always washed his father's car. He a1so cleaned his own room once a week. What a chore that was! Sometimes he even had to look after his little sister and brother.

    Sam had a foreign friend at school. His name was Kumar. Doing chores in Kumar’s family was very different. In the house only the girls did chores. His sisters made all the beds and cleaned all the rooms too, even his bedroom. His mother always cooked the meals, and his sisters helped her to go shopping, and prepare the food. They worked hard at home, doing all the chores with their mother. So when Kumar talked to his friend Sam about chores, he felt very 1ucky.

    One day, Sam had an idea. He asked Kumar, “Could I borrow your sisters?” He wanted them to help him clean his room, but they said “no”. Instead(相反), they asked Sam to teach their brother how to do chores, so he could make his own(自己的) bed.

    Sam and Kumar are very good at science. They are going to be scientists after university. They want to make a robot(机器人) to do the chores. Then everyone ----mothers and fathers, sons and daughters --will be happy!

American people like to say “Thank you” when others help them or say something kind to them. People of many countries do so, too. It is a very good habit.

 You should say “Thank you” when someone passes you the salt on the table, when someone walking in front of you keeps the door open for you, when someone says you have done your work well, or you have bought a nice thing, or your city is very beautiful. “Think you” is used not only between friends, but also between parents and children, brothers and sisters.

  “Excuse me” is another short sentence they use. When you hear someone say so behind you, you know that somebody wants to walk past you without touching(触摸) you. It’s not polite(礼貌) to break (打断) others when they are talking. If you want to speak to one of them, say “Excuse me” first, and then begin talking.
