When you cough or sneeze, you’d better turn your head away from others and cover your mouth with the full part of your hand And then, you should say, “Excuse me

This seems so simple, but it is surprising how many kids have never been told to do this Actually, I notice adults all the time who cough and sneeze in public without placing a hand over the mouth One important thing I point out to the kids is that after they sneeze or cough on their hands, they should wash their hands as soon as possible If not, they will be passing those germs (细菌) along to everything and everyone they touch

If you come to a door and someone is following you, hold the door If the door opens by pulling, pull it open, stand to the side, and allow the other person to pass through first, then you can walk through If the door opens by pushing, hold the door after you pass through

After a few weeks of seeing kids try to get through doors in the school and watching them enter restaurants as the door hit other people, I knew I had to discuss the problem with my students Teaching them small acts of kindness, such as letting someone else go through a door first as they hold it open, may seem unimportant, but it can go along way toward helping students realize hot to be polite and thank others Once they’ve been told, they’re halfway there

When we have to go up moving stairs, we will stand to the right That will give others who are in a hurry a choice of walking up the left-hand side of the moving stairs When we are going to enter a lift, the underground, or a doorway, we will wait for others to exit before we enter

After college when I moved to London, I was surprised at how polite everyone was in the subways I was even more touched when I traveled to Japan In both places, people made efforts to make way for others On moving stairs, everyone stood to the right and walked to the left On lifts, everyone would stand over to the side and allow others to exit before they would begin to enter

In every little girl’s toy box, there might be a Barbie Doll. Barbie is 50 years old this year. It was designed in 1959 by an American businesswoman named Ruth Handler. She and her husband Elliott started the toy company Mattel. She named the new doll after their daughter Barbara. The first Barbie Doll appeared at the toy fair (交易会) New York on March 9th, 1959. This date is used as Barbie’s birthday.

Mattel sold three hundred thousand Barbie Dolls in the first year at a price of three dollars. Today, a fifty-year-old Barbie in good condition might cost more than twenty-seven thousand dollars. Mattel says 90% of the girls in the United States aged from three to ten own at least one Barbie Doll. And girls aged three to six own an average (平均) of about twelve.

When Mattel created Barbie Dolls half a century ago, they never thought this doll would become a legend. Now Barbie Dolls are famous all over the world. They are sold in one hundred and fifty countries, and every second three Barbie Dolls are sold around the world.
