　　On very cold winter days, a group of Japanese children traveled a long way and arrived at a small island where nobody lived．After setting up a camp, they caught fish in the sea, and walked on the snow to find firewood, wild fruit and fresh water．Then they made a fire to do some cooking．They were not homeless children or modern Robinson．They were all pupils from a primary school and campers of special "hardship camp．”

　　Every year primary and middle schools in Japan organize such camps to train the children’s spirit of bearing hardship．Such places as thick forests and far-off mountains are often chosen as camp places．

　　The Japanese education circles(教育界)usually think it necessary to give children chances of suffering hardships．Children in Japan now may hardly find times of hardships, because of the rapid growth of national economy and improvement in the people’s living conditions．The experts think that such hardship camps can help children learn to live and develop in the struggle against nature in modern society．

　　It’s said that such hardship camps are warmly accepted by both Japanese school children and their parents．

　　Like most English children, I learned foreign languages at school．When I made my first visit to the United States, I was sure I could have a nice easy holiday without any language problem．But how wrong I was!

　　At the American airport, I was looking for a public telephone to tell my friend Danny I had arrived．A worker asked if he could help me．“Yes,” I said, “I want to give my friend a ring．” “Well, that’s nice．Are you getting married?” he asked．“No,” I replied．“I just want to tell her on the phone I have arrived．” “Oh,” he said, “ there is a phone downstairs on/he first floor．” “But we’re on the first floor now,” I said．“Well, I don’t know what you are talking about．Maybe you aren’t feeling well after your journey．” he said．“You just go and wash up, and you will feel a lot better．” And he went off, leaving me wondering where on earth I was, at home we wash up after a meal to get the cups and plates clean．How can I wash up at an airport?

　　At last we did meet．She explained the misunderstanding．Americans say “ to give someone a call,” but we English say “to give somebody a ring”．When we say “to wash your hands”, they say “to wash up”．And Englishmen start numbering from the ground floor, so the first floor is the second for Americans．

　　Joe wanted a bike．He had asked his parents for the money and they had said he must earn it．But how?He thought about this as he walked home．Not many people wanted to ask children to work for them．Maybe he could clear away snow for the neighbours．But this was summer．He’d wait for a long time for that．He couldn’t cut grass for their gardens because he had no tool to do the work with：

　　Then Joe saw one of his classmates Dick delivering newspapers．I could do that, he thought．Maybe I could get the bike right away．I could pay for it a little each week．He ran to catch up with Dick．Joe asked a lot of questions about having a paper route．He learned that the job took about three hours each night．Dick gave him the phone number of the newspaper manager．

　　Joe almost flew home．After he had explained his plan, his mother smiled, “I think it’s a great idea,” she said, “I’ll call the newspaper…”

　　“Wait, Mum,” Joe said, “I’ll call．After call, I’m going to be a business man now．”

Americans eat breakfast and lunch quickly if it is not social(社会的)，business or family occasion(场合)．The evening meal is usually a longer time for families to come together．Rushing(匆忙)through daytime meals is part of the fast pace(快速)in America．Another reason for rushing through daytime meals is that many people eat in the restaurants and the restaurants are usually crowded with people．They are waiting for a place so that they can be served(招待)and return to work in time．So each one hurries to make room for the next person．As there are busy people everywhere there is a real difference(区别)with meals．Some are eaten in a hurry and others can be enjoyed slowly with friends．

Enjoying Dinner with Friends

　　Americans, like many people elsewhere in the world, like to invite friends to their homes for an evening of food, drink and conversation．Formal dinner, in fine homes and hotels in the United States are much the same as formal dinners anywhere in the world．But as most people in the United States have no servants, their dinner parties at home are decidedly informal．Guests may sit down at a table, or, as many new small homes have no separate dining room or very small dining space, guests can also serve themselves and eat in the living room, holding their plates on their knees．

　　A more enjoyable form of entertainment is the picnic．Americans are great picnickers, and almost every family has a picnic basket．Summer invitations are often for a picnic at a park or in the open countryside．Unless hamburgers or hot dogs are cooked over a fire, picnic food is usually cold sandwiches, salads, potato chips, pickles．Watermelon is a favorite dessert, followed very often by baseball for the young and active, and naps(打盹)for the weary(疲惫的；困乏的)．
