Different countries and people have different manners(举止).Here are some examples: If you visit a Chinese family, you should knock at the door first. When the door opens, you should not move before the host says “Come in, please.” Before coming into the house in Japan, it is good manners to take off your shoes. In European(欧洲的) countries, even if your shoes are very dirty, it is not necessary to take them off. In England, a guest(客人) always finishes the drink or the food to show that he enjoys it. This will make the host very pleased.

Dear Jenny,

How’s it going? Are you busy with your study these days?

I’ve been back at school   41  nearly four weeks. I’m very glad to tell you that great   42  have taken place in our school this term. First of all, we’re asked to “clear our plates” when having our meals and say   43  to wasting. Some of us used to order more than what we could eat. That was a big waste of food. Now we need to    44  the food we order. We should also stop wasting in some other ways. For example, we should turn off the lights when we    45  the classroom. And our school has opened up some fields for us to learn how to grow vegetables. Each class is given a small garden and our class has decided to grow some tomatoes and beans( 豆类) in our    46  time. I think that’ll be very interesting. Maybe I’ll be able to    47  you some beans we’ve grown by ourselves next time! What’s more, we have only two classes in the afternoon    48  we have more time for after-school activities. I’m one of the traffic safety volunteers in our school. After school, we take turns to  go to the streets near our school and ask people to    49  the traffic rules.

I think we are having a different school life now!

Please write back soon and tell   50  more about your school.

Droughts (干旱)are common in Kenya . Before ,they came every 10 years ,but now they seem to be hitting us more often and for a longer time .
We gave the droughts names :“longoza”was the drought when many animals died ; there was the drought of the “planes” because food was dropped from the air by planes; and one particularly bad drought was called “ man who dies with his money in his fist (拳头)”，because ,even if there was money , there was simply no food to buy .
I was born in 1951 in Machakos. From what my mother tells me , when I was 7, there was a serious drought . I clearly remember the terrible weather and the hunger. I can’t tell you how many times I went to bed without eating . “ I slept like that ,” is how we described it . I can’t count the number of days when “ I slept like that,” or describe the feeling of going to sleep hungry ,knowing I’d wake up and there would still be no food for breakfast.
My father would leave early in the morning carrying a little basket to ask for food on credit (赊欠). Each night he would return home around 10:00p.m. My mother would try to encourage me by telling me to keep the water in our pot boiling so that when my father arrived we could quickly cook any food he brought in the already prepared water . I would keep the fire burning and the water boiling , along with the hopes that we would eat that night. But my father would arrive frustrated and empty -handed. And I would sleep like that.
