Of course, the main difference on the Chinese dinner table is chopsticks instead of knife and fork, but that¡¯s only superficial£¨±íÃæÉϵģ©.    1    , in good restaurants, you can always ask for a pair of knife and fork,    2    you find the chopsticks not helpful    3    . The real difference is    4    in the West, you have your own plate of food,    5    in China the dishes are placed on the table and everyone¡¡¡¡ 6    . If you are being ¡¡¡¡7¡¡¡¡ to a formal dinner and particularly if the host thinks you¡¯re in the country for the first time, he will do the best to give you a ¡¡¡¡8¡¡¡¡ of many different types of dishes. The meal usually¡¡¡¡ 9¡¡¡¡ with a set of at least four cold dishes, to be ¡¡¡¡10    by the main courses of hot meat and vegetable dishes. Soup then will be   11    (unless in Guangdong style restaurants)to be followed by staple food£¨Ö÷ʳ£©ranging from rice, noodles    12    dumplings. If you wish to have your rice to    13¡¡¡¡ with other dishes, you should say so in good time, for most of the Chinese ¡¡¡¡14

to have the staple food at last or have ¡¡¡¡15¡¡¡¡ of them at all.

Perhaps one of the things that   16¡¡¡¡ a Western visitor most is that some of the Chinese hosts like to put food into the plates of their    17    . In formal dinners, there are always ¡°public¡± chopsticks and spoons for this purpose, but some hosts ¡¡¡¡18¡¡¡¡ use their own chopsticks. This is a sign of true friendship and politeness. It is¡¡¡¡ 19    polite to eat the food. If you do not eat it, just¡¡¡¡ 20¡¡¡¡ the food in the plate.

In the American family the husband and wife usually    1    important decision making. When the children are old enough, they take part    2    . Foreigners are often surprised by the permissiveness(¿íÈÝ)of American parents. The old rule that" children should be seen and not heard¡± is rarely    3    , and children are often    4    to do what they wish without strict parental    5    . The father seldom expects his children to obey him    6    question, and children are encouraged to be independent    7    an early age. Some people believe that American parents carry this freedom    8    far. Others think that a strong father image(ÐÎÏó)would not    9    the American values of equality and independence. Because Americans emphasize the importance of independence, young people are expected to    10    their parental families by the time they have ¡¡¡¡11    their late teens or early twenties.    12   , not to do so is often regarded as a failure, a kind of ¡¡¡¡13    .

This pattern of independence often results in serious    14    for the aging parents of a small family. The average American is expected to live    15    the age of 70. The job retirement age is    16    65. The children have left home, married, and    17    their own households. At least 20 percent of all people over 65 do not have enough retirement incomes.

What are you waiting for? Live life to the fullest. We are not promised tomorrow, so enjoy today.

We believe that life will be    1   after we get married, have a baby, then another. Then we are discouraged that the kids aren¡¯t    2   enough and we¡¯ll be more pleased when they are. After that, we¡¯re discouraged that we have teenagers to   3   . We will certainly be happy when they are out of that stage. We tell ourselves that our   4   will be complete when we get a nicer car, when we have our    5   house, when we are able to go on a nice vacation, when we retire, when we win the lottery(²ÊƱ).

The    6   is, there¡¯s no better time to be happy than right now. If not now,   7   ?Your life will always be filled with challenges. It¡¯s best to admit this to yourself and decide to be    8  

right now.

So,   9   every moment that you have. Recognize that each    10   you take is a gift and be    11   . Remember that time waits for no one. So stop    12   until you finish school, until you go back to school, until you    13   the weight, until you have kids, until your kids    14   the house, until you start work, until you retire, until you get    15   , until you get divorced(Àë»é), until Friday night, until Sunday morning, until you get a new car or home, until your car or home is    16   , until spring, until summer, until fall, until winter, until you¡¯ve had a drink, until you

    17   , until you are born again¡ªto decide, that there is    18   better time than right now to be happy.

Happiness is a(n)    19   , not a purpose. So, work like you don¡¯t need    20   , love like you¡¯ve never been hurt, and dance like no one¡¯s watching.

The Grand Ole Opry, in Nashville, Tennessee, has always been America¡¯s most important concert hall for country music. Every Saturday night the place is filled to the ceiling with country music    1   .

One   2    in January 1967, was a very   3    night at the Opry. For the first time, a

   4   man was an attraction(ÒýÈËעĿ).   5    music had always been thought of as ¡°White music¡±. For many, it was a strange    6    to see Charley Pride step    7    the Opry stage. Some people left    8    about whether a black man could sing country songs.    9    Charley¡¯s smooth voice quickly   10    over the Opry   11   , Charley was so good that before long, he was country music¡¯s biggest   12   .

Like many country singers, Charley was   13   on a farm. He spent his youth milking cows and picking cotton. But he knew he wasn¡¯t going to make    14    his career(Ö°Òµ). Later he became a baseball player.

Charley made it to a major(Ö÷ÒªµÄ) league team. But he didn¡¯t stay on for more than one season.

In the winter, after the baseball season, Clarley    15    at a local nightclub. One evening, Red Sovine, a great country music star,    16    Charley Red told Charley to forget about

    17    and go for a singing career.

Charley took the    18    and became a true hitmaker. His    19    were always near the top on the list. Some were Number One all over the country.

Today Charley Pride is    20    one of the biggest stars in country music. But he says his real wish is to win a baseball team.

Todd was working at his gas station (¼ÓÓÍÕ¾) at night. When he heard over the radio that a 1 in Long Island had been 2 by an armed man who had killed the night guard and got away with $150, 000 ¡°One hundred and fifty thousand¡±£¬ Todd whistled£®Here¡¯s a fellow who just 3 into a bank and helps himself 4 so much money. Todd thought of the 5 with which he managed to get the amount of money he 6 to start his gas station. So many papers to 7 , so much money to pay back.

The news 8 twenty minutes later. The gunman had 9 a car for a ride, and then 10 out the driver. He was possibly 11 the Southern State Parkway in a white Ford£®License plate (³µÅÆ) number LJR1939. The 12 of the announcer continued: ¡° 13 out for white cars. Don¡¯t pick up 14 , and all you folks in gas stations better not do 15 to a white Ford car¡±.

Todd stood up and 16 to see out into the cold night. It was dark but Todd 17 the Southern State Parkway was out there. Just 18 , Todd saw the headlights coming at him and a car pulled in for 19 . There it was, a white Ford£®He saw the 20 , LJR1939.

¡°What should I do?¡± Todd had to make a quick 21

¡°Yes, sir?¡± Todd 22 while making/up this mind for sure.

¡° 23 her up¡±, the man said sounding like any other ¡° 24__¡±

When the tank (ÓÍÏä) was full, Todd quickly turned and pointed a gun at the man.

Four friends were drinking in a village bar. Their jackets were hanging on the backs of their chairs. Suddenly one of them, Jack, shouted that he had lost five pounds. Fred said he was sure 1 there had stolen the money. Tom suggested they should all 2 their pockets on the table. But the owner of the bar 3 not let them do that because money all looks the same. Nobody knew 4 to do. Just then, Jim, a traveler, stood up. He said he could help them 5 the money.

¡°You know how clever some animals are,¡± he said£®¡°I¡¯ve found out that cocks are 6 at catching thieves. Let¡¯s 7 the bar owner¡¯s cock.¡±

Jim 8 a big black pot and put it upside down on the table. Then he put the cock under it. ¡°After I turn off the lights,¡± he said, ¡°you must come up one by one and touch the 9 of the pot with your right hand£®When the 10 does so, the cock will crow (Ìä).¡±

The others did not know 11 they should believe him. One by one they went past the table in the 12 , but the cock never made a 13 .

¡°I¡¯m afraid it was a waste of time,¡± Fred said when the light went 14  ¡°I¡¯m not sure it was,¡±Jim said£®Then he asked everybody to 15 his right hand£®He looked at each hand in 16 , then took Fred¡¯s hand£®¡°Fred, give the five pounds back to Jack.¡±

¡°But the cock never crowed!¡± said Fred.

¡°Jim told Fred to look at all the 17 ¡±

¡°They are all 18 with soot (úÑÌ»Ò ) except yours. Can you explain why you didn¡¯t dare 19 the pot, Fred?¡±

Fred¡¯s face went 20 . He hung his head.
