The customs in different countries are rather different．If I have dinner with a Chinese host, he always puts more food onto my plate as soon as I have emptied it．That often discomforts me greatly．I have to eat the food even if I do not want to because it is considered bad manners in the west to leave one’s food on the plate．I have also noticed that when a Chinese sits at an American’s dinner party, he often refuses the offer of food or drink though he’s in fact still hungry or thirsty．This might be good manners in China but is not in the West at all．In the United Sates, it is impolite to keep asking someone again and again or insist on his accepting something．Americans have a direct way of speaking．If they want something, they will ask for it．If not, they will say, “No, thanks．” When an American is served with beer by host, for example, he might say, “No, thanks．I’ll take some orange juice if you have it．” That is what an American will do．So when you go to the United States, you’d better remember the famous saying: “When in Rome, do as the Romans do．”

Dear editor( 編輯),       

Can't your newspaper do something about the custom (習(xí)慣) of hitchhiking?

A short time ago, on a car travel I counted at least 50 people standing beside the road, asking for rides. Many of them were young women.

Don't they understand how dangerous it is to get into the car driven by a stranger? How much do they know about the driver? Is he a good driver or not? They know nothing!

Many of these young hitchhikers may come from good families. Don't their parents teach them anything about the world? I always taught my children not to talk to strangers. I never let them take rides from people they didn't know.

Isn't there enough crime (犯罪) today without asking for trouble by hitchhiking? On the other hand, hitchhiking may bring some traffic trouble. Don't you think what I said is true?

4. The Worried Grandfather wrote the letter to tell          .

A．the newspaper to let its readers know the danger of hitchhiking

B．young women never to go on a long travel alone

C．young people to listen to their parents at home

5. What do you think a good editor is going to do after he gets the letter?
