The 30th Olympics will be held in London soon. More and more people will travel there and watch the games. And it’s necessary for the tourists to know the customs there. Here are some tips（建议）given by William Hanson, an English manner expert.
◆ Afternoon tea. The traditional view that the British sit down for an afternoon tea is not popular any more. Few people keep the tradition nowadays.
◆ Give tips（小费）— but not in a clear way. The British would like to choose a quiet way of saying “thank you” when they get good service. In fact, many British waiters will not mind if you decide not to tip at all.
◆ Greeting with a kiss. The British aren’t like their neighbors in France. They do not greet others with a kiss very often. Many people prefer to shake hands or pat（轻拍） on the back to say “ hello” .
◆ Conversation tips. If you are not sure what you are talking about, end a sentence with the word “mate”.
◆ Don’t talk about money. According to Hanson, British people don’t like to talk about money and it is rude to do so. Especially, never ask anyone how much money he or she makes a month. British sit down for an afternoon tea now.

Teenagers don’t have enough money to buy expensive gifts. So what do you do if you want to give gifts to the important people in your life? In fact, you don’t have to spend a lot of money on holiday gifts. There are many cheap ways to do that. Here are some make-it-yourself gift ideas to try:
To your mom and dad:
You can decorate a photo frame, sing a song or write a letter to your mom and dad. You could also draw a picture for them if you like that better.
To you teacher:
Sometimes students put their pocket money together and buy the teacher a holiday gift. Some kids also give individual(个人) gifts. You can send a nice card with the words of thanks inside. You might even write down the favourite things you’ve learned in the teacher’s class this year. It will make the teacher feel happy.
To the kids who need a friend:
The holidays are a good time to think about people who are lonely. Maybe there is someone in your class who doesn’t seem to have many friends. Try to do something for this person. It could be giving a Christmas card or just chatting with him or her. It’s a small thing, but could mean a lot to someone who feels a little shy or sad at school.

Everyone dreams of changing the world. But can teenagers really make a difference? And how can they go about it?
Michael Norton's book 365 Ways to Change the World is a good starting point. The book gives an idea or task for every single day of the year. The tasks include offering to work at a local homeless shelter (庇护所) and planting a tree.
The book says that one simple act, no matter how small, can help someone in need. It may even influence (影响) other teens to do something.
Nathan Anthony, a student at Maple High School in Modesto, California, US, agrees. “It is impossible to get anything in life without giving something to someone or working hard at school or workplace," Anthony said.
Another Maple student, Ariane Mota, has the same idea." Giving is our way of repaying those who help us," she said." Whether it is a helping hand or a donation, we should help others to make their day or life better."
But how often do teens see peers (同龄人) helping a stranger or doing something nice for someone?
According to Anthony, not a lot. He and Mota both believe this needs to be changed.
"I help my friends by telling them that their lives are better than those poorer people," Anthony said." Humor is also a great tool."
So whether you're helping to find a cure (疗法) for bad illness or simply smiling at a stranger, do something every day to help change the world for the better.365 Ways of Changing the World is a book __________.
