English people like to say “Thank you” whenever others help them or say something kind to them. People of many countries do so, too. It is a good habit.

You should say “Thank you” when someone passes you the salt on the table, when some walking ahead of you keeps the door open for you, when someone says you have done your work well, or you have bought a nice thing, or your city is very beautiful.

“Thank you” is used not only between friends, but also between parents and children, brothers and sisters, husbands and wives.

“Excuse me” is another short sentence they use. When you hear someone says so behind you, you know that somebody wants to walk past you without touching（接觸） you.

It’s not good to break in on others while they are talking. If you want to speak to one of them, you should say “ Excuse me” first, and then begin talking. You should also do so when you want to cough or make any unpleasant noise before others.

In the 13th century, the famous Italian traveler, Marco Polo, traveled a long way to China. During his stay in China, he discovered that the Chinese used paper money. In western countries, people did not use paper money until the 15th century.

A Chinese man called Cai Lun invented paper almost 2000 years ago. He made it from wood.

Now paper still comes from trees. We use a lot of paper every day. Every day, people throw away about 280 tons of paper in our city. It takes 17 trees to make one ton of paper. This means that we are cutting nearly 4800 trees every day. Since it takes more than 10 years for a tree to grow, we must start using less paper now. If we don’t, we will not have enough time to grow more trees to take the place of those we use for paper.

So how can we save paper? We can use both sides of every piece of paper, especially when we are making notes. We can choose drinks in bottles instead of those in paper packets. We also use cotton handkerchiefs and not paper ones. When we go shopping, we can use fewer paper bags. If the shop assistant does give us a paper bag, we can save it and reuse it later.

In America high schools, most students take English, science, math and history. These are basic courses and each course is as useful as the others. In English class, the students study grammar and read famous literature. In science class, they study biology, chemistry or physics. History is more interesting to some students because they learn about important events (事件) and places in the United States. Students take other courses, too. These are electives (選修課). Some of them are music, home economics and computer science. Students don’t have to take all of these courses. Some study music because they feel it more enjoyable. Some study computer science because they think it is more practical. In each class, teachers give students exams. Some exams are more difficult than others, but a good student can always do them well.
