　　A little boy invited his mother to attend(出席)his elementary school’s first teacher-parent meeting．To the little boy’s dismay(沮丧), his mother said she would go．This would be the first time that his classmates and teachers met his mother and he was embarrassed(尴尬的)by her appearance．There was a severe(严重的)scar(伤疤)that covered nearly the whole right side of her faced．The boy never wanted to talk about why or how she got the scar．

　　At the meeting, the people were impressed(留下深刻的印象)by the kindness of his mother with the scar, but the little boy was still embarrassed and hid himself from everyone．However, he could hear clearly the conversation between his mother and the teacher．

　　”How did you get the scar on your face?”the teacher asked．

　　The mother replied,“When my son was a baby, he was in a room that caught on fire．Everyone was too afraid to go in because the fire was out of control, but I went in．As I was running towards his bed, I saw a burining wood falling down and I placed myself over him trying to protect him．I was knocked to be unconscious(无知觉的), but luckily, a fireman came in and saved both of us．”She touched the burned side of her face．“This scar will be forever, but unitl today, I have never regretted doing what I did．”

　　When the little boy heard this, he couldn’t help running towards his mother with tears in his eyes．He hugged her and felt his mother was greater than anyone．He held her hand tightly for the rest of the day．

　　Scientists think that a weather pattern(形式)called E1 Nin6(厄尔尼诺现象)caused the drought(干旱)in Australia．E1 Nin6 causes different weather in different parts of the world．It causes a lot of rain and floods in some places．It causes droughts in other places．Droughts can badly affect people and the land．E1 Nin6 lasts about a year．

　　In normal weather conditions．warm winds from South America blow from east to west across the Pacific Ocean．The winds early storms to Australia．These storms bring rain to Australia．

　　During an E1 Nin6 weather pattern．the winds change direction．They blow from west to east across the Pacific Ocean．The storms n0 longer move across Australia．So Australia gets very little rain during E1 Nino．

　　The drought began in January,1982．E1 Nino often occurs at this time of year．But that year, E1 Nino was stronger than usual．There Was very little rainfall(降雨量)in eastern Australia．There was also very little water in the rivers．The drought WaS at its worst in February,1983．At that time, the weather was very hot．The forests and fields were very dry．Cotton growers eouldn’t plant their cotton．Sheep farmers had no grass for their animals to eat．So many of them died．Because the forests were dry．forest fires started quickly．Some of the fires burned for a month．Many forests were destroyed．Over 2,000 people lost their houses in the fires and 75 people died．

　　The Australian drought of 1982-1983 affected thousands of people and animals．The drought cost the country over＄3,000,000,000．It was a reminder(提示)to Australians of how the weather could change their lives．1

We know good manners are important．Today I am going to tell you something about manners in different countries．I think you already know that people in different countries usually have different ways of doing things．Something that is rude in one country may be quite polite in another．For example, in Britain you mustn’t lift your bowl to your mouth when you are having liquid food．That is considered bad manners in Britain．But in Japan you needn’t worry about making a noise when you drink something．It shows that you are enjoying it．In Britain we try not to put our hands on the table at all during a meal．In Mexico, however, guests are expected to keep their hands on the table throughout a meal．In Arabic countries we must be careful with our hands．You see, in Arabic countries you mustn’t eat with your left hand．This is considered to be very impolite．So, what should you do if you visit a foreign country?Well, you needn’t worry．You can ask the native people there to help you and you can just watch carefully and try to do what they do．
