customs, just as the saying goes, "…"
     Very often people who travel to the United States forget to tip (付小费). It is usual to tip porters
who help carry your bags, taxi drivers and waiters. Waiters expect to get a 15% tip on the cost of your
meal. Taxi drivers expect about the same amount.
     In England, make sure to stand in line even if there are only two of you. It's important to respect lines
there. It's a good idea to talk about the weather. It's a favourite subject of conversation with the British.
     In Spain, it's a good idea to have a light meal in the afternoon if someone invites you for dinner.
People have dinner very late, and restaurants do not generally open until after 9 pm.
     In Arab countries, men kiss one another on the cheek (脸颊). Your host may welcome you with a
kiss on both cheeks. It is polite for you to do the same.
     In Japan, people usually give personal or business cards to each other when they meet for the first
time. When a person gives you a card, don't put it into your pocket right away. The person expects you

       Jess really felt very happy. When he arrived at his seat in the classroom that morning, he found an
invitation(请柬)on his desk. It was from some of his classmates asking him to join their camping trip.
This was the first time he was asked to join in an out-of-school activity. Why were they asking him now? Nobody seemed(似乎)to like him. In fact, he had been so lonely (孤独) that he ate a lot to make himself
feel less lonely. As a result, he had put on a lot of weight, and this gave the children something more to
make fun of him.
       Cindy, who was standing near Jess when he read the invitation, went out quickly to tell the others that the trick had worked. Everyone was happy that Jess thought that was true. But there was no camping trip. The whole thing was made up.
