People use their mouths for many things. In the English language, there are many expressions using the word “mouth”. But some of them are not so nice.
Sometimes, people say something to a friend or a family member. Later they regret because it hurts that person’s feelings. Or they tell the person something they didn’t mean(打算) to tell. The speaker might say: “I really put my foot in my mouth this time.”
Sometimes when one person is speaking, he says the same thing that his friend is going to say. When this happens, the friend might say: “You took the words right out of my mouth!” Sometimes a person has a bad or sad experience with another person. He might say that experience “left a bad taste in my mouth.” Or the person possibly has a very frightening (可怕的) experience, like having an angry dog running after him. He might say: “I had my heart in my mouth.” Some people have lots of money because they were born into a very rich family. You might say the person “was born with a silver spoon (银勺) in his mouth”. He is the opposite of a person living from “hand to mouth”. This person is very poor and only has enough money for the most important things in life, like food.

In most cultures, when you meet people you know for the first time during a day, it is usual to greet them. Once a young woman from England went to Hong Kong to work. When she first arrived, she knew little about the Chinese culture of language. On her way to school one day, she went to a bank to get some money. To her surprise, the bank clerk asked her if she had had her lunch. She was surprised at such a question because in the British culture it would mean an invitation to lunch. Between unmarried young people it can also mean the young man's interest in dating the girl. Since this bank clerk was a stranger to the British woman, she was very puzzled, and quickly answered that she had eaten already. After this she went on to school and was even more surprised when one of the teachers asked her the same question.
By now she understood that it could not be an invitation but was puzzled as to why they asked it. In the following days she was asked the same question again and again and she spent many hours trying to work out why so many people kept asking her this. At last she thought that these people must be concerned about(关心) her health. She was rather thin at the time, and she thought they must be worrying that she was not eating well!
In fact, the question like that has no real meaning at all — it is only a greeting. ( ) 6.According to the writer, when we meet a stranger, it is __ to greet him or her. A. interesting B. common C. important D. generous

( ) 9.In the writer’s opinion, the Chinese greeting for the first time means “____”. A. popular B. meaningful C. invitation D. manners
( ) 10.The writer’s main purpose in writing this passage is most probably to _____. A. complain about (抱怨) the Chinese greetings B. advice people to follow the Chinese greeting C. show himself to be interested in Chinese greeting
D. point out the differences of the greetings between the different culture
One day, a farmer was walking along a road with his son Thomas. The father said, \"Look! There's a horseshoe .Pick it up and put it in your bag.” Thomas said, \"It isn't worth the trouble.\" His father said nothing but he picked it up himself.

After the first day，little Tommy came home with a very serious look on his face. He didn’t kiss his mother hello. Instead, he went straight to his room and started studying. Books and papers were spread（铺开）out all over the room and little Tommy was hard at work. His mother was surprised.

Finally, little Tommy brought home his report card. He quietly put it on the table and went up to his room and hit the books. His mom looked at it and to her surprise, little Tommy got an A in math. She could no longer hold her curiosity（好奇心）. She

Playing with friends, going to a party, having a meal in a restaurant or receiving a birthday gift—as a teenager, you go to different places and meet different kinds of people. Everything you do leaves an impression(印象). So manners are very important.
Arriving 30 minutes late for a date may say: “This isn’t that important to me.” Taking a cell phone call while talking to your friend may say: “The caller is more important than the person standing in front of me.” Failing to show thanks to a gift-giver may say: “I don’t like the gift.”
Is that the message you really want to send? Maybe not. You do not want to be rude, but sometimes what you do makes people think you’re impolite.
How can you change that? First, you should know the proper ways to behave around people. We call this manners. You could start by adding “please” and “thank you” to your vocabulary and avoiding bad language. You could start by holding a door open for someone after you to go through. You could start by showing up on time instead of letting others wait for you.
Start now! Start a new life and start to be a teenager with good manners!

Doing Our Part
From the picture, we can see the boy dropping litter outside the rubbish bin. The ground looks dirty. I think what he does is wrong. He is behaving impolite in public.
As middle school students, it is our duty to behave well and try to make our school more beautiful. We should not talk loudly in public. We mustn’t drop litter in or out of school. Never waste food while eating in the dinning room. Also I think we should get along well with our classmates. Being polite to teachers is also very important.
In a word, if everyone can do our part, we can make a difference to the world.
