No matter where you go, no matter what you do, when you are in public places, you have to be in good manners. How should we behave in public places?
Keep your voice down
Don't speak or laugh loudly.Remember that although you may be excited and want to voice your excitement,the people around you may not be interested in it at all.It's polite to speak at a low volume(音量).This includes laughing as well.
Dress properly
Dress in a way that is appropriate(适合的) for the place that you are going to. If you are going to an event where people dress in a formal(正式的) way, do the same. For example, do not wear blue﹣jeans or a T﹣shirt to a dinner party. But it is acceptable to dress casually(穿着随意)if you are going to a museum or a movie theater.
Use table manners
When you eat in public places, use your table manners.
They may help you leave good impression(印象). In western countries, do not pick up food with your hands. You should pick up with a fork or a spoon. When you are in China, you shouldn't start eating first if there are older people at the table. Using your phone while having a meal is also bad behavior.

During May, most places in China are warm. But Mount Qomolangma is still (1) and covered with snow. At this time, a group of Chinese climbers are climbing the highest mountain in the world. They are going to measure(测量) the (2) of the mountain.
In fact, China already measured the height of the mountain in 1975(8,848. 13 meters) and 2005(8, 844.43 meters). But the height can (3) as Earth's plats(板块)move. As technology improves, people want to get more exact numbers.
(4) , measuring its height is not easy.The temperature there is ﹣29℃,four degrees lower than that in Antarctica(南极).The snow there is 4﹣5 meters thick and strong winds blow all the time. Climbers have to carry scientific instruments to the world's rooftop(屋脊). They collect data(数据) (5) the top of the mountain. After that scientists study the data and calculate(计算) the height of the mountain.
To deal with the difficult conditions, team members started training in January. They have to sleep in (6) tents to keep warm. To save fresh water, climbers (7) take a shower or wash faces. As for food, they have three dishes and soup for each meal. It is easy to keep meat fresh in such a (8) temperature.
Though there are also some (9) difficulties that we can not think of,the mountain is(10) measuring. An exact measurement can help to study the plate movement so that scientists can warn people the coming of the earthquakes.
