The cultures of the East and the West really distinguish each other a lot. This is because the culture systems are two      systems on the whole.
The   of the eastern cultures is mainly from two countries: China and India. Both of the two cultures are gestated孕育 by     . In China, the mother river is the Yellow River while the Indian one is the Hindu River. These two cultures were developed for several thousand years and formed their own        . Then in Dang Dynasty of China, the Chinese culture        went overseas to Japan,     into the Japanese society and shaped the Japanese culture nowadays. Though a bit different from the Chinese one, it belongs to the same      .
When the two mother rivers gave birth to the eastern culture, another famous culture was       on the Mesopotamian Plain美索不达米亚平原 ---- the Mesopotamian Civilization. This civilization later on developed into the cultures of the Ancient Greece and Ancient Rome. And these two are well-known as the      of the European culture. Like the Chinese culture, the European one also      waters. When the colonists of England     in America, their culture went with them over the Atlantic Ocean. So the American culture doesn't    from the European one a lot.
At the same time, the difference of the language systems    _ the cultural differences. In the East, most languages belong to the pictographic language while the Western languages are mostly based on the Latin system, for example, the one I’m using to write this paper.
Other factors like human race difference counts as well. But what’s more, as a result of the far distance and the steep险峻的areas between the East and West, the two cultures seldom     until recent centuries. So they grew up totally in their own ways with almost no      with the other.

Children start out as      scientists, eager to look into the world around them.     them enjoy science can be   ; there's no need for scientific terms or expensive lab equipment. You only have to share your children's interests.
Firstly, listen to their questions. I once    a classroom of seven-year-olds to talk about science as a job. The children asked me "textbook questions" about schooling, salary and my job. When I       answering, I said, "    we're finished with your lists, do you have questions of your own about science ?" After a long , a boy    his hand, "Have you ever seen a grasshopper(蚱蜢)   ?When I try eating leaves like that, I get a stomachache. Why ?" This began a set of questions that    nearly two hours.
Secondly, give them time to think. After asking a question, teachers often wait only one   or less for an answer, no time for a child to think. When teachers   their "wait time" to three seconds or more, children usually give better answers.
Thirdly, watch your language. When children are having a science discussion, don't jump in with "That's right" or "Very good" because these    may make the children think that discussion is over.  , keep things going by saying, "I'd never thought of it that way before", or coming up with more questions or ideas.
Never    a child to "think". It doesn't make sense, because children are always thinking without your telling them to. What's more, this can turn a conversation    a performance.
   , show in stead of telling. Let children look at their fingers through a magnifying glass(放大镜),    they'll understand why you want them to    before dinner. Rather than say that water evaporates(蒸发), set a pot of water to boil and let them watch the water level   .

I am a person who doesn’t like waiting. I don’t like to wait in line, being put on hold when making a phone call, or arriving at an apartment to find that my companion will be         . And of course, I don’t like waiting rooms.
      , I realize that my agony(痛苦) will not be good for me, as an         crowded world can only mean one thing – more waiting.
       this, I have taken an action and decide to turn my frustration to productive ends. In short, I am looking for what I call “waiting-in-line”        .
These are volumes that contain materials         for being read in shortened words, so there is no extended story line to lose track of. Another          is that they be         enough to slip neatly into my back pocket.
The other day I went to the supermarket.         that the rain would keep most people away, I was         to see that the place was filled with        . Every checkout was open – and jammed! But I can         my pocket book and go to work.
The more the world demands that I        , the more I learn from my waiting library. Look at the followings: One Hundred Things Every American Should Know; The Poetry of Robert Frost; Living Thoughts of Leading Thinkers; Still More Toasts. I have learned interesting and enriching things and much         from these books.
On a recent visit to the general store, I placed my order at the         along with six or seven people. The old female employee seemed to have her hands full as she rushed        . “Young man, just be        ,” she said to me.
No problem. I quietly opened my dictionary prose(散文) and poetical quotations. Perhaps the other customers         me as a bookish, lonely soul. But         did they realize that I was enjoying the         of Shakespeare, Thoreau, Homer and Ben Johnson.

People on a college campus were more likely to give money to the March of Dimes if they were asked for a donation by a disabled woman in a wheelchair than if asked by a nondisabled woman. In another        , subway riders in New York saw a man carrying a stick stumble(绊脚) and fall to the floor. Sometimes the victim had a large red birthmark on his      ; sometimes he did not. In this situation, the victim was more likely to         aid if his face was spotless than if he had an unattractive birthmark. In         these and other research findings, two themes are         : we are more willing to help people we like for some reason and people we think     assistance.
In some situations, those who are physically attractive are more likely to receive aid.       , in a field study researchers placed a completed application to graduate school in a telephone box at the airport. The application was ready to be        , but had apparently been "lost". The photo attached to the application was sometimes that of a very          person and sometimes that of a less attractive person. The measure of helping was whether the individual who found the envelope actually mailed it or not. Results showed that people were more likely to        the application if the person in the photo was physically attractive.
The degree of      between the potential helper and the person in need is also important. For example, people are more likely to help a stranger who is from the same country rather than a foreigner. In one study, shoppers on a busy street in Scotland were more likely to help a person wearing a(n)           T-shirt than a person wearing a T-shirt printed with offensive words.
Whether a person receives help depends in part on the "worth" of the case. For example, shoppers in a supermarket were more likely to give someone.        to buy milk rather than to buy cookies, probably because milk is thought more essential for        than cookies. Passengers on a New York subway were more likely to help a man who fell to the ground if he appeared to be         rather than drunk.
