Joe wanted a computer. He asked his 1 for the money and they said he must get it himself. But how did he get it? He 2 about this when he walked home. Not many people wanted to ask children to work for them. Maybe he could take away 3 for the neighbors (邻居). But this was not winter. He had to wait a long time for time. He couldn't cut grass for their gardens4 he had no tools（工具）to do the work with.

    Then he saw one of his 5, Dick，who sits next to him, delivering（送）newspaper .I could do that, he thought. 6 I could even get the computer right away. I could pay7 it a little each week. He ran to catch up with Dick. Joe 8him a lot of questions. He learned that it was9to get twenty-five dollars each week. He learned that the job 10  about three hours each night. Dick11 him the phone number of the newspaper manager.

    Joe almost flew home. After he had told his mother 12he thought, she smiled 13, “I think it is a 14idea,” she said, “I'll call the newspaper.”

    “Wait, mum,” Joe said, “I'll call. After that, I'm going to be a 15 now.” Joe's mother was very happy.

    In America, just as in Europe, men usually open doors for women, and women always walk ahead of men into a room or a restaurant, unless the men have to be ahead of the ladies to choose the table, to open the door of a car or do some other things like the above. On the street, men almost always walk or cross the street on the closer side of the ladies to the traffic. But if a man walks with two ladies he should walk between them. If a host or hostess or both of them drive to get their guest for dinner, the guest should sit at the front seat and leave the back seat though there are no people sitting on it

    As I was leaving to meet Lynne, my roommate told me that I'd better take some money. But I didn't listen to him. I thought that Lynne would pay because she had invited me. I arrived at the restaurant exactly on time. I'd been told that Americans expect you to be on time. Lynne and I sat at a table in the corner of restaurant and a waitress came and took our order.

    The dinner was a great success. I talked a lot about Saudi Arabia and Lynne told me all about herself. After two hours, the waitress finally came and asked if we wanted one check or two. Lynne said two. We went to the cashier and Lynne paid her check. I was embarrassed (尴尬) when the cashier gave me my bill. I had no money to pay for my meal. Then I had an idea. I pretended to look for something in my pockets and said, “Oh! I forgot my wallet! Can I call my roommate, please?” The cashier showed me where the phone was and I quickly called my roommate. In a few minutes, he arrived with some money, but he couldn't hide how he felt. He laughed all the way home. Now, I think it's funny too, but at that time I was terribly embarrassed. I thought that an invitation to have dinner in the United States meant the same thing as that in China. I guess you have to understand that your customs are only your customs. When you visit a foreign country, you have to learn about their customs, too.

    Mr. and Mrs. Smith have just opened a small restaurant. In order to attract customers, they put a notice in front of the restaurant, which said “Meals on the House for Three Days.”

A.  He walked towards the restaurant and saw the notice. “American people are really strange. They even eat dinners on the house! But how can I get up to the top of the house? ” he said to himself.

B. “Doesn't your notice say ‘Meals on the House for Three Days'? Is it just a joke?” the foreign student answered.

C.  When they heard this, both Mr. Smith and the policeman laughed. “Don't you know what ON THE HOUSE means? Look it up in the dictionary.” the policeman said.

D. A foreign student who didn't know much English happened to pass by the restaurant on the second day. It was lunch time and he felt very hungry. “Well, here is a restaurant. I am going to have something to eat.”

E.  He looked around and found a ladder against a tree nearby. He was very glad. But as he reached the top he heard someone shouting at him, “Hey, what are you doing up there?” Mr. Smith was looking at him angrily and beside him was a policeman.
