An old man walked slowly into a restaurant with his cane(拐杖). His old jacket and shoes made him unusual that day.
A young waitress named Mary watched him move towards a table by the window. She ran over to him, and said with a smile, “Here, sir. Let me give you a hand.”
Without saying a word, he gave her a smile. She pulled the chair away from the table and helped him sit down. Then she put his cane against the table so that he could reach it. In a soft, clear voice, he said, “Thank you, miss.”
“You’re welcome, sir,” she replied. “I’ll be back in a moment, and if you need anything, just wave at me!”
After he had finished a good meal. Mary brought him the change. She handed him his cane, and walked with him to the front door. Holding the door open for him, she said, “Come back and see us, sir!” The old man turned around and smiled.
When Mary went to clean his table, she was shocked. Under the plate, she found a business card, a 100-dollar bill and a note. The note said, “Dear Mary, I respect(尊敬) you very much, and you respect yourself, too. It shows the way you treat others. You have found the secret of happiness.”

When on the go or traveling, a Disposable(一次性) Toothbrush might be just the product for you. Typically, a Disposable Toothbrush is made out of a plastie material, with toothpaste already on the brush head. Just add water while you are using it. In some new Disposable Toothbrush models, the toothpaste comes automatically(自动地) as you squeese(挤) the handle of the toothbrush.

Colgate has upped the competition in the Disposable Toothbrush market by creating a Dispossble Toothbrush that you can use at your desk at work, in your car, or after eating at a restaurant. This toothbrush is called the Colgate Wisp, and is about the size of an index finger. The toothbrush can get to those hard to reach places just like a regular toothbrush. No water is necessary when using this toothbrush, making it very useful and convenient. A pack of four of the Colgate Wisp's run about $ 2.99. If you are one of those people that like to brush your teeth throughout the day but hate the hassleof carrying a toothbrush and toothpaste around, this is perfect!

This is helpful if you are interested in purchasing the Wisp. Visit their website here: gadgets boingboing net

Although people drive in all countries, the rules can be quite different between nations and areas. For this reason, you should always learn the laws before you decide to drive in a foreign country.

In the U.S., people in Alaska may have a learner's permit at the age of fourteen. This is quite different from the driving laws of Niger, where a person must be at least twenty﹣three years old to drive. If you want to know the minimum(最小的) driving age in most countries, the answer is eighteen. It may also surprise you to learn that not every country allows people to drive, although most of them do. For example, women are not allowed to drive in Saudi Arabia no matter how old they are.

Driving on the right or left side of the road is also different. In Great Britain, Cyprus, Australia, India, and Malaysia, people drive on the left. However, in the U.S., Mexico, France, and Canada, people are required to drive on the right. In fact, one country can have different driving rules for different areas. People in Hong Kong drive on the left, while drivers in other parts of China use the right side of the road.

Other different driving laws between countries include thoseabout using mobile phones. In Japan, using any kind of mobile phones is illegal(违法的), even if you do not need to hold the phone with your hands. However, in Argentina and Australia, drivers are allowed to talk on their mobile phones if they do not use their hands.
