Dragons can be friendly or fierce (凶狠), they can bring good luck or cause death, but onething issure——peopletalk aboutthem almost everywhere in the world.
In Chinese culture, dragons are generous and wise, althoughthey can be unpredictable. Thedragon was closely connectedtothe royalfamily: the emperor's robes (礼袍) have a symbol of a golddragon with five claws. Accordingto popular belief,if you were bornintheyear of the dragon, you are intelligent, brave, and a natural leader.
But in the west, dragons had a different reputation (名声). The very first text in English, theAnglo-Saxon poem Beowulf, tells the story of a Scandinavian hero, Beowulf, who fights and kills adangerous dragon but is himself killed in the fight. However, across the border in Wales, the reddragon which appears on the Welsh flag is a positive symbol, indicating strength and a sense of nationalidentity.
Why shouldthe dragon have a different characterin different parts ofthe world? Some expertsbelieve it is due to the animals thatthe myths grew out of.Inthe west,theidea ofthe dragonprobably camefromthe snake—an animal which people hated and were afraid of.
But in China, the idea of the dragon may have come fromthe alligator--a shy animal which lives inrivers, but whichis usually only seen whenthereis plenty of water--a good sign for agriculture(农业).So the Chinese dragon was a bringer of good fortune.

Just as in face-to-face communication, there are some basic rules of behavior(行为) that should be followed on the Internet. The basic rule is simple: treat others in the same way you would want to be treated. Imagine how you’d feel if you were in the other person’s shoes.
For anything you’re about to send: ask yourself, “ Would I say that to the person’s face?” If the answer is no, rewrite and reread. If someone in the chat room is rude to you, you needn’t to fire back. You should either ignore(不理睬) the person, or use your chat software to block their messages. Remember to respect the beliefs and opinions of others in the chat room.
Everyone was new to the network once. Offer advice when asked by newcomers, as they may not be sure what to do or how to communicate. At the same time, if you find you are wrong, be sure to correct yourself and apologize to those that you have offended(冒犯). You’d better not ask others questions about their age, sex and families. Unless you know the person very well, and you are both comfortable with sharing personal information, or don’t ask such questions.
