　　People in different countries have different ways of doing things．Something that is polite in one country may be quite impolite in another．In Britain, you mustn’t lift your bowl to your mouth when you are having some liquid(液体)food．But it’s different in China．And in Japan you even needn’t worry about making noises when you have it．It shows that you are enjoying it．But it is regarded as bad manners(礼貌；方式)in Britain．If you are a visitor in Mongolia, what manners do they wish you to have?They wish you to give a loud “burp”(打嗝)after you finish eating, Burping shows that you like the food．

　　In Britain, you should try not to put your hands on the table when you’re having a meal．In Mexico, however, guests are expected to keep their hands on the table during a meal．But in Arab countries you must be very careful with your hands．You mustn’t eat with your left hand．Arabs consider it very bad manners eating with left hands．So, what should you do if you are on a visit in another country?Well, just do in Rome as the Romans do．You can ask the native(本土的)people to help you or just watch carefully and follow them．

　　After staying in Beijing, it was time to go to Shanghai．So I decided to take the train to Shanghai and stop halfway at Tai’an for a day to break up the trip and climb Mount Tai．The train arrived in the city at 10 pm．It was late and I was tired．I started to walk around the city to look for a hotel, but I couldn’t find a reasonable(合理的)one．Something was strange．There were so many Chinese tourists walking somewhere．I finally followed them to see what all the excitement was about．As it turned out, they were all climbing the mountain to reach the top by sunrise．What a crazy idea!

　　I later found out it was the thing to do, so having no luck with hotels, I decided I had better join them．And maybe because of the dark, I didn’t have to pay for any entry fees(费)．Of course the first thing was to find if the mountain had a wall around it．Of course it did．And the second, it had a paved(用砖铺的)path and road all the way up to the top．Anyway, I ran up the mountain and made it to the top by about 4∶30 am．I relaxed a little and watched the sunrise．Nothing was special．Everyone was cheering so I guessed it was worth it．
