Today，many customs have faded away （消退）．But one that has remained is the cutting of hair．It was said that a haircut during the first lunar month may bring bad luck to the mother's brothers．So many people have their hair cut on the Dragon Head Raising Day．

1．Turn（turn） left at the traffic lights．
2．Different countries have different ideas about manners-how you behave when you are eating．In England，table manners are important．Good table manners in England are as follows：
★How to sit：You should sit up straight in your chair．It is not a good idea to lean（倾斜）forwards or backwards．When you eat，you should not lean towards the plate，but bring the knife，fork or spoon towards you．At the same time，do not out your elbows on the table，nor reach over someone's plate for something．
★Using your fingers：English people normally don't pick food up with their fingers when they are eating main courses．If you are not sure，the safest is to use your knife or fork．There are，however，some foods that are uaually eaten with fingers．They include sanwiches，burgers，crisps and fruit．
★Your mouth：It is not polite to talk with your mouth full of food，or to eat with your mouth open．And if possible，do not make any noises．Never lick（舔）your plate after eating．
★How much to eat：It is polite to eat the food that you have been offered，so a clear plate is a good plate．It shows that you enjoyed the food．If you can't finish everything and need to leave a little，that's also okay．You could say something like"That was very nice，thank you，but I'm just too full to eat another bite．"

Then I remembered a family tradition when our children were small．Before leaving their grandparents'home after a visit，each child would write a love note to their grandparents．For days，their grandparents would smile as they read these notes of love．
So when I cleaned Dad's kitchen and made the bed for him，I wrote some notes．Some were like this，"Dad，I put the food in the fridge．"Some expressed my love，"Dad，I hope you will sleep well in your new bed．"Most notes were put downstairs where he would stay for several weeks when he was ill．But I put one note upstairs under his pillow（枕头），"Dad，if yon have found this note，you must be feeling better．We are so glad!"
"These notes helped improve his health．Several weeks later，in one of our regular phone calls，I asked Dad how he was doing．He said，"Pretty good．I just found your note under my pillow upstairs!

20．Table manners are how to behave when you eat a meal．They include how to handle knives，forks and spoons and how to eat in a polite manner．To behave well abroad，you are to know some table manners．
  EATING MANNERS
  Japan：It is"perfectly"okay to slurp when you eat noodles．Unlike making big noises，slurping slightly is not rude．Japanese also say it tastes better if you slurp．
  Russia：Your wrists should be placed on the edge of the table while eating，fork in left hand，and knife in the right．It is not good manners to rest them on your lap．Keep your elbows off the table．Leave some food on your plate to show that the host has given you enough to eat．
  France：Never discuss money or religion over dinner．What is different from the manners in Russia is that finishing everything on your plate is considered good manners．
  Mexico：Whenever you catch the eye of someone who's eating，even a stranger，it's good manners to say"provecho"，which means enjoy．In Mexico，dining is more than a meal．It's a social occasion--lunches are seldom quick and suppers can last for hours．Where you sit matters in the country．Before you get seated，look for place cards，or wait until the host seats you．And you must say"enjoy your meal"before you leave the table．
  DRINKING MANNERS
  America：If you empty a bottle into someone's glass，it obliges that person to buy the next bottle．It's polite to put the last drops into your own glass．
  Australia：In a pub it's usual to buy a round of drinks for everyone in your group．When it's your turn，say"It's my round"．When it's their round，they will buy it for you．Don't leave before you've bought a round．
  Japan：Don't fill your own glass of alcohol．Instead，you should pour for others and wait for them to do it for you．
