From the time we were babies we have been taught manners. We are taught how to hold a knife and fork and not to talk with our mouths full. We are taught how to shake hands and when to stand and when to sit and the way to introduce people.
Sometimes good manners in one place are very bad manners somewhere else. Almost everywhere eating together means that people are very friendly to each other. But in parts of Polynesia(波利尼西亚)it is bad manners to be seen eating beside each other. So they politely turn their backs to each other when they are taking food.
Some East Africans spit four times as a kind of blessing(祝福).They do it to show that they want a sick person to get well,or to bless a new-born baby. In most other places,spitting means something completely different. It usually shows an unhealthy habit. In many countries,it may mean that you hate someone.
When we go to visit someone we say “ Hello!” Or “ How are you ? ” or things like that.
But if you are visiting an East African village , everyone will be very careful not to pay attention to you, The polite thing there will be for you to go quietly,without speaking to anyone, and sit beside your friend. You should wait until he has finished what he is doing and then he will begin talking to you.
In a village in Arab , a visitor will walk behind all the tents until he gets to the one he wants to visit. If he passes in front , he will be invited into each tent and asked to eat. It is rude to refuse.

When Canadian teenager Ryan was six years old, his teacher told him that in many parts of Africa, there was no clean water. She said that people often made themselves ill, and even died, just from drinking or bathing in dirty water.

What she said made Ryan upset. He decided to raise money for a well(井) so that people in Africa could have clean water. He did extra chores for his parents and raised ﹩70 all by himself. Then he found out that it actually cost ﹩2,000 to dig a well.

We live in Bedford, a town near London. My father is a hard﹣working pilot, so he doesn't have much time to look after us.

When I was a kid, my mum liked to make breakfast food for dinner every now and then. And I remember one night in particular, when she had made breakfast food after a long, hard day at hospital.

On that evening so long ago, my mum placed a plate of eggs, sausage and terribly burnt biscuits in front of my dad. I remember waiting to see if anyone notices. Yet all my dad did was reach for a biscuit, smile at my mum and ask my brother and me how we had been doing at school. I don't remember what I told him that night, but I do remember watching him put butter and jelly on that biscuit and eat every bite!

When I got up from the table that evening, I remember hearing my mum apologize to my dad for burning the biscuits. And I will never forget what he said," Honey, I love burnt biscuits."

Later that night, I went to kiss my dad good night and I asked him if he really liked his biscuits burnt. He wrapped me in his arms and said," Your mum is really tired after a hard day's work. Besides, a little burnt biscuit could never hurt anyone. We have been married for 17 years. She always cooks for me. Don't put the key to your happiness in someone else's pocked but into your own."

Copenhagen is one of the best places in the world to be a bicyclist but there is a downside﹣﹣thousands of parked bicycles. Sometimes it gets out of control.

In 2014, when Copenhagen got its Cycle Snake﹣a new bicycle﹣only bridge ﹣the city edged even closer to being a cyclists' paradise.

There are in fact more bicycles in Copenhagen than people, five times as many bicycles as cars, and 400 km of cycle lanes﹣not shared with cars or pedestrians (行人)﹣for a city of about 600,000 people.

This has many advantages, such as cleaner air and physical fitness. If only more thought had gone into what happens when riders get off. Cycle parking is a big problem here.

Bikes are often parked on the pavement, taking up pedestrian space and blocking(堵住) entrances to shops and restaurants.

Outside Copenhagen's central train station, where people often leave their bikes for the weekend, plenty of cyclists are fed up. "There just isn't enough space," says Kirsten Hoeholt, a famous artiest.

While 95% of cyclists in the city are happy with conditions for cyclists overall, only 29% are satisfied with cycle﹣parking facilities﹣down from 40% in 1996.

One of Copenhagen's is that it has been growing rapidly. About 12,000 people are moving to the city each year, while only 7,000 new cycle parking spaces have been created over the last eight years.

One Dutch idea on its way to Copenhagen is taking away the bikes that are parked in the wrong areas. Leave your bike in the wrong place and you could find that it has been moved to nearby bicycle facilities.

A few years ago "bike﹣butlers" were introduced in some areas. The butlers pick up bicycles that have been knocked over, pump air into flat tyres and give the bike﹣chains a bit of oil, to thank people for parking properly.
