15．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（出声地吃或者喝） 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．

13．Have you ever stayed in a hotel？Most Chinese hotels often provide guests with things like disposable （一次性的） toothbrushes，toothpaste，shampoo and slippers．Many guests like the idea because they don't have to bring their own．But，if you travel to Beijing，remember to bring your own things．Starting from June，some hotels in Beijing will no longer provide guests with these disposables．They want to ask people to use less disposable things．
Many disposable things are made of plastic．People throw them away after only using them once．It is a waste of natural resources （资源） and is very bad for the environment．Do you know，one Chinese person makes as much as 400kg of waste a year!Most of that waste comes from disposable things．In Beijing，people throw away about 19，000tons of plastic bags and 1，320tons of plastic lunch bowls every year!Plastic can take between 100and 400years to break down．So the less plastic we throw out，the better．So，wherever you travel，bring your own things and use them again and again．
Back at home and school，you can also do something to make our world a better place．Try to do these things in your daily life：Use cloth shopping bags，not plastic ones．After using a plastic bag，wash it out and let it dry．Then you can use it over and over again．Do not use paper cups．At your school canteen（食堂），use your own bowl and chopsticks instead of disposable ones．

9．Prana was a beautiful dog，whose name means"breath of life"．Although he died several years ago，I can still remember the days we spent together and what he has taught me about love．I have two apple trees in the garden．Prana loved apples．When he went outside，he'd catch an apple and took it into the house to eat later．The apples had been on the ground and were often so dirty so I wasn't always pleased that Prana had brought them into the house．

8．With the improvement of life level，people pay more and more attention to health problems．People give more consideration to a healthy diet．Recently，the food safety has become the concern（关注）．
Taiwan police told a case on September 4，2014．Guo Liecheng，the criminal suspect，operated an underground plant．A lot of drainage oil（馊水油） was produced in the underground plant； Qiangguan Company bought the drainage oil with low price．Then they began to process the drainage oil and put it into many fancy buckets．Qiangguan Company produced 782tons inferior oil in February，2014．Many food plants，the night market，vendors（商贩） and so on used this kind of oil．You can imagine so many factories will make so much food with the drainage oil．It is said that 136kinds of foods were made of the drainage oil．These foods are sold to all over the country．It is terrible for so many people to eat these foods．

6．Scientists are trying to find out how things affect our feelings．How you feel is controlled by many things，such as your personality（性格），the actions（行动） of others．Maybe you don't know the weather can affect your feelings as well．
People often say they feel good when the sun is shining and sad when it is cloudy．In fact，sunlight makes us feel good．When sunlight hits our skins，our bodies makes vitamin D（维生素D）．Vitamin D helps our bodies make a special chemical（化学物质）．This special chemical affects our brains and makes us feel happy．For example，there are long，dark winters of little sunlight in Sweden and Norway，so many people in these countries often feel sad．To help the people in these countries feel better，scientists build special"sunrooms"for people to go there and get"sunlight"for an hour or two!
The weather can also affect people's feelings in other ways．Hot weather can make people angry because people don't feel comfortable when they are hot．In the same way，rain can make people angry because being wet can be unhappy．As you can see，the weather can have an effect on the chemicals which control our brains．Through these ways，the weather can affect our feelings in these ways．Sadly，while the weather can change us，we cannot change the weather．
