Wu Yifang is a 21-year-old girl from Shantou，China．Now she studies in Britain．One day，when she was taking a train from London to Oxford，she heard loud noises on the train．
Before，the train had been very quiet．Some people were resting while others were reading books or listening to music．Suddenly，a group of Chinese people laughed loudly as they played a game of cards．
"I would usually be very happy to meet people from my own country．But at that moment，I wanted the ground to open up and swallow （ 吞没 ） me．"Zhang said．
As it becomes easier for Chinese people to get visas（ 签证） to foreign countries，more and more of them are traveling abroad．However，their bad manners have given them a bad reputation．
A recent U．S．survey of 5，600people five countries showed that Chinese people are the second worst tourists．The worst are American tourists．
Chinese always talk loudly in places like cafes and museums．They also spit （吐痰 ） and litter whenever they want and jump queues．Some Chinese tourists also like to write or draw pictures on famous buildings．In Singapore，Chinese tourists are fined（ 罚款） because they were smoking in Non-smoking areas．
Some people may say that they can do everything that they want because they spend money in the country．In fact，this is not true．Besides enjoying ourselves，we should respect local customs and take care of the environment．

20．As time passes，some people stay by your side while others don't．That makes you realize that each friendship you have is precious．To have a good friend，you must be one，and sometimes we all need a reminder （提醒） about what makes us good friends．Here are tips to help you to hold your friends．Take a look．
Share a secret．
Telling a friend your secrets will make them feel like you value them more than others，says Peter DeScioli，a researcher in psychology （心理学家） at Harvard University．DeScioli has found that we are more likely to rank someone high up in our friend group if we know that he or she holds us in his or her trust．
Treat him or her like a grownup．
While your friends are in trouble，telling them what they should do doesn't seem to be a good idea．Edward Deci，a psychology professor at the University of Rochester，US，has found that supporting friends'autonomy （自主权）-that is，making them feel that they can choose the ways by themselves-creates a better relationship．
Accept that no friendship is perfect．
Fights can be a normal part of family relationships，but when it comes to friendships，people are less comfortable．This feeling can cause friends to give up too fast on their relationships when trouble comes，according to US sociologist （社会学家） Jan Yager．So don't be afraid of the occasional （偶尔的） quarrel．Once you make it through，your friendship is likely to be stronger than ever．

| Dear Sir， I don't understand why some parents make their kids help with housework and chores at home．Kids these days already have enough stress from school．They don't have time to study and do housework，too．Housework is a waste of their time．Could we just let them do their job as students？They should spend their time on schoolwork in order to get good grades and get into a good university．Also，when they get older，they will have to do housework so there's no need for them to do it now．It is the parents'job to provide a clean and comfortable environment at home for their children．And anyway，I think doing chores is not so difficult．I don't mind doing them． Ms．Miller |
| Title：Should kids do chores？ | ||
| Ms Miller's Opinions | （58）Reasons | |
| For kids | A waste of time to do housework | Having enough stress （59）from school |
| （57）No need to do chores now | Having to do housework when getting older | |
| （56）For parents | Provide a clean and comfortable environment for kids | Parents'（60）job |
| Never mind doing chores | No difficulty to do chores | |

Who wants to carry a bulky bag to school？No children．Nobody wants one shoulder to be lower than the other，and paining，too．In India，most of people would look at the reduction（减少） of textbooks as a way out．But in a country like America，there are always more choices．A company called goReader has created a"school bag"which is the size of a laptop computer，weighing about 1.5kg．The goReader has a color screen and can"hold"all the textbooks that a student may need，says a report in The Asian Age newspaper．
