　　“Tipping” is always a difficult business. You do not want to give too much little, or tip the wrong person.

　　In Britain or America, people usually tip waiters in restaurant, porters, taxi drivers and hairdressers. They do not tip people in offices, cinemas, garages, or airports.

　　Do you invite your friends to the restaurant? Then you pay the bill. Does your friend invite you? Your friend pays. If there are men and women in the party, men usually pay.

　　These days men and women are equal in many ways. If you work in Britain or America, your boss could be a man or a woman. There are increasing numbers of women in important positions in politics, law, medicine and in the business world.

Dear editor,

　　I dream that one day I will become a good teacher. To me, it is a great job. But I know that my parents will be 1 it. They want me to be a famous doctor, but I have no 2 in this. What should I do？

Abduway

Dear Abduway,

　　It sounds like your parents are putting a lot of pressure on you. However, your concern is still only in your head. You haven't yet tried to talk to your 3 . And you know you must talk to them when they are together and at a 4 time. Tell them, without 5 , that your dream is to become a great 6 . Give your reasons for wanting to be a teacher. 7 your plan to get there. What subject do you want to teach？

　　Think about these points so that you can show your parents you are 8 They may not like the idea at first, but with a little time and effort, you can prove to them that this is 9 you really want to do.

　　And you never know, they might surprise you. They might think that you become a teacher is a 10 idea！ Whatever they say, you must remember they only want what's 11 for you. Perhaps they are giving you chances they didn't have when they were 12 and want you to make the most of them.

　　But it is still your life. You cannot live to your parents' 13 . If you become a doctor you probably won't be happy. Then you won't try your best and certainly won't become 14 .

　　Most parents want their kids to be 15 . But in the end, most would rather they were happy.

　　The world itself is becoming much smaller by using modern traffic and modern communication means (通信设备). Life today is much easier than it was hundreds of years ago, but it has brought new problems. One of the biggest problems is pollution. To pollute means to make things dirty. Pollution comes in many ways. We see it, smell it, drink it and even hear it.

　　Man has been polluting the earth. The more people, the more pollution. Many years ago, the problem was not so serious because there were not so many people. When the land was used up or the river was dirty in one place, man moved to another place. But this is not longer true. Man is now slowly polluting the whole world.

　　Air pollution is still the most serious. It's bad for all living things in the world, but it is not the only one kind of pollution. Water pollution kills our fish and pollutes our drinking water. Noise pollution makes us angry more easily.

　　Many countries are making rules to fight pollution. They stop people from burning coal in houses and factories in the city, and from putting dirty smoke into the air. Pollution by SO₂ is now the most dangerous kind of air pollution. It is caused (引起) by heavy traffic. We are sure that if there are fewer people driving, there will be less air pollution.
