Early last year, two young brothers in Jiangsu Province badly burned while playing. The“game”they were playing was they had watched in the cartoon Pleasant Goat and the Big Big Wolf (《喜羊羊和灰太狼》).The brothers were two little goats while their friend was playing a bad wolf . Their friend tied them a tree and set fire to the grass around them.
The sad story is an example of how many children follow the violence(暴力) they see on television, especially cartoons. It is that violent cartoons can make children more aggressive(具有攻击性的). In a survey, researchers the children after watching non-violent and violent cartoons. They found that the kids who watched violent cartoons fought with others and class rules more often.
Children under the age of seven are too to understand that the violence on TV can bring real harm. It is parents’ job them understand it.

Have you heard of the term “etiquette” And do you know that etiquette is not only a useful word 1 very useful to understand?
Etiquette is not the same in every culture 2 in every situation. For example, standing very close to the person you are talking with is quite common in some Asian countries. However; if you do this in Europe, some 3 people might feel 4.Even in China, we all know that etiquette is not the same in all situations. Perhaps we think that talking loudly in our own homes is fine, but there are other places where talking loudly is 5 .For example ,most people would agree that talking loudly in a library, a museum, or a movie theater is 6 .Even if you are with your friends, it is better to keep your voice 7 in public places. In fact, we should also 8 not to cough or sneeze loudly in public.
If we see someone 9 the rules of etiquette, we may politely give them some suggestions. Perhaps one of the most polite ways 10 ask someone, Would you mind doing this or Would you mind not doing that. For example, if someone cuts 11 you in a line, you could ask them, Sorry, would you mind 12 the line? If someone is smoking on the bus you could ask, Excuse me, could you please 13 that cigarette? People don’t usually like 14 , so we have to be careful how we do this.
Although rules of etiquette can often be different, some rules are the same almost everywhere in the world! For example, 15 is almost never allowed. If you see someone you know doing this, you can ask them, Would you mind picking it up?

After 17 the order, everyone went home. As one man prepared his milk, he thought that since everyone was bringing milk, he would just 18 a glass of water and put that into the pond instead. 19 it was dark at night, no one would notice it, so he quickly went and put the water into the pond and 20 home.
