    As we all know, eating habits are different in different1. The Chinese have a saying, "Eat good things for breakfast, eat a big meal for lunch, but eat 2 at dinner." Many Americans agree that one should start the day with a good breakfast, but their 3 about lunch and dinner are different.

    Most Americans only give 4 a short time for lunch. So they eat a small lunch. After work they will have more time to eat a big dinner. Talking about their day with all the family is a great way to take a good rest after a long, hard day of work.

    Eating at restaurants is also different. In China, people like to talk and laugh 5eating. Very often you can hear people talking and laughing loudly, and they are just having a good time. In America it is not like this. If someone is talking too6 at table, the manager of the restaurant may 7 and ask them to be quiet. After dinner, it's thought quite rude if you leave as soon as you finish 8. You are expected to stay and 9 around the dinner table.

    So if you want to be polite, there's an English saying, "When in Rome, do10Romans do."

    Two young men were fishing at a lake. Suddenly the policeman jumped out of the forest. At once, one of the men threw his rod (鱼竿) down and started running through the forest, and the policeman ran after him. After about a kilometer, the man stopped and stooped (弯腰) over his hands on his legs to catch his breath. The policeman finally caught up to him, "Let me see your fishing license (证件), Boy!" the policeman said.

    The man pulled out his wallet and gave the policeman a fishing license.

    "Well, guy." said the policeman, "You must be about stupid as a box of rocks! You don't have to run from me if you have a fishing license."

    "Yes, Sir", replied the young man, "But my friend back there, well, doesn't have one."

    You may see many rivers, but have you ever heard of stone (石头) rivers? You can see such rivers in some parts of the world. Among them, the Big Stone River is a very amazing one.

    The BigStone River is the most interesting sight of Taganai Park in the southern Ural Mountains in Russia. Instead of running water, it is filled with thousands of rocks and stones.You can't see any water. Interestingly, as one comes near to the rocky river, the sound of running water can be heard.

    The Big Stone River is about 6 kilometers long and is made up of many small rocky rivers. It cuts through a thick forest like a real river. It's about 200 meters wide on average (平均) and in some places, it is up to 700 meters wide. Some of the locks weigh up to 10 tons (吨) each and the layer (层) of rocks goes down 6 meters deep. That makes it almost impossible for plants to grow in the river.

    While seeing the amazing river is an unforgettable experience, the best way to experience this natural wonder is from above. If you have a chance to visit Russia, it would not be a bad choice to go and see it.

    Winter is dangerous because it's so difficult to know what is going to happen and accidents take place (发生) so easily. Fog (雾) can be waiting to meet you over the top of a hill. Ice might be hiding under the melting (融化) snow, waiting ahead to send you off the road. The car coming to you may suddenly slip across the road.

    Here are some rules you can follow:

    Rule Number One for driving on icy roads is to drive smoothly: Sudden movements can make a car very difficult to control. So every time you pick up your speed or slow down, you must be as gentle (轻柔的) and slow as possible. Suppose (假设) you are driving with a full cup of hot coffee on the seat next to you. Drive so that you wouldn't spill (溅) it.

    Rule Number Two is to pay attention to what-might happen. The more ice there is，the further down the road you have to look. Test how long it takes to gently stop your car. Remember that you may be driving more quickly than you think: Generally, allow twice of your usual stopping distance (距离) when the road is wet, three times this distance on snow, and even more on ice. Try to stay in control of (控制) your car at all time and you will not get into trouble.

    Did you ever have a stomachache during a test? Were you ever soworried about something that you couldn't fall asleep at night?

    Stress is what you feel when you worry about something. You may feel sad, angry, bored or afraid, which can give you a stomachache or a headache.

    Stress is a natural (自然的) part of everyday life and there is no way to avoid (避免) it.

    There are different kinds of stress. Some kinds of stress are good and others are bad.

    It can help you do better.

    That kind of stress is badfor your health. It will make you feel less stressed.

    China is a big country with 56 ethnic groups (少数民族). Besides the  (large) group Han, the other 55 ethnic groups all have their [əun]traditional clothing.

    Mongolians (蒙古族人)  long and thick gowns (长袍) made of animal fur. For the Miao people, men wear short coats and trousers,  [wail]women wear shining silver decorations.

    Because they have different lifestyles, the clothing worn by each ethnic group is different.

    Mongolians and Tibetans (藏族人) make a living by  (raise) animals outside, so long gowns and boots make them. Some ethnic groups plant crops such as cotton. So their clothing is usually made cotton.

Nowadays, some ethnic groups[pri'fəː] casual clothes. But most of (they) have traditional clothing to wear on special days and festivals. If you travel to Yunnan or Sichuan, you may come across local girls wearing long (skirt) and silver head-wear in certain scenic spots.
