Sometimes good manners in one place are bad manners in other places. If you are a visitor in the land of Mongolia and some friends ask you to eat with them, what kind of manners do they want you to have? They want you to give a loud “burp”(打嗝) after you finish eating. Burping will show that you like your food. In some countries, if you give a loud burp, you are supposed to say, “Excuse me, please.”In many places people like to eat together. But in some parts on Polynesia it is bad manners to be seen eating at all. People show their good manners by turning their backs on others while they eat. What are good manners like in an East African town? The people try not to see you. They are being polite. You may see a friend. He may not see you at all. If you’re polite, you will sit down beside him. You will wait until he finishes what he is doing. Then he will talk to you. If you meet a friend in Arabia, you should walk behind the tents until you come to his tent. If you pass in front of the other tents, you will be asked to eat with them. And it is bad manners if you say no.

　　 There are many things we need to know that we do not learn at school.For example,if we want to use our money wisely,we need to shop carefully.We need to know how to compare(比较) the prices of things in different shops.We need to be able to compare the quality(质量) of different brands(品牌).We need to know how to make a choice when we shop.

　　Knowing how to make such choices is a "life skill".and we need these skills if we are to live useful and happy lives.

　　Some of these choices are small.For example,will I take an apple for lunch of a pear?Will I go to school by bus or on foot?Will I wear the red T-shirt or the blue one to the movies?Other choices are more important.For example,will I eat healthy food for lunch or will I eat junk 　 food because it is tastier?Will I work hard in all my classes or will I only work hard in the classes I enjoy?We make choices like this every day.

　　We have realized that the choices we make can affect the rest of our lives.Just as importantly,our choices can also affect other people.The next time you decide to waste time in class,play a joke on someone or talk loudly at the movies,think about this:who else does your choice affect?
