Every country has its own customs. Customs are the ways people use to do something. For example, it is the custom in America to shake hands when you meet someone. In some countries, people may kiss when they meet someone. We also have different food customs from other countries.

A girl from the Philippine (菲律宾的) Islands thought we had a lot of cold food-cold milk, cold juice and cold fruit. A girl from Uruguay (乌拉圭) thought it was strange that we ate so early in the evening. In Uruguay they usually have supper at about ten o’clock in the evening . A girl from Sweden was surprised that we could buy so many different kinds of food in restaurants.

What shaking the head means is not always the same in different countries. Maybe some visitors would be surprised when they first come to India. When they talk to an Indian, they would find he would often shake his head. The visitors might think that the Indian doesn’t like what they say. But in fact, they would be completely wrong.

Indians always shake their heads when they talk to others. It doesn’t mean “No”. If someone wants to visit India, he should know this, or he will be in trouble.

One day, a foreign officer went to India on business. He hired a car and asked an Indian to drive him. When he told his driver to take him to his office, the Indian shook his head at once. The officer said again and the driver shook his head again. At last the officer, of course, got angry.

“How dare you refuse my order?” he shouted, “Drive me to my office at once!”

The driver answered in quite a loud voice, too. “Yes, sir!” But to the officer’s surprise, the driver shook his head at the same time.

The car started and the foreign officer was now too surprised to say a word. He thought about it for a while, and then he nodded with a smile, “‘No’ means ‘Yes’here!”

Many children act in TV shows. They work several hours every day, so they can not go to regular school. How do they get an education?

In Hollywood many TV shows are made. About forty teachers give lessons to the children in the shows. They teach wherever their pupils are working. The teachers’ job is very important. They are responsible(负责) for making sure that the children work only the permitted(允许) hours each week. They are also responsible for making sure that children learn the required subjects. They make sure, too, that the children get enough rest and play, along with their education.

Child actors are required to attend classes twenty hours each week. California law says they must be taught from September to June. If they do not make much progress in school, they are not permitted to continue working in TV shows. TV children are usually good pupils, and most of their teachers like this special kind of work.
