    The customs in different countries are rather different. If I have dinner with a Chinese host, he always puts more food onto my plates as soon as I have emptied it. That often discomforts me greatly. I have to eat the food even if I don't want to, because it is considered bad manners in the West to leave one's food on the plate. I have already noticed that when a Chinese sits at an American's dinner party, he often refuses the offer of food or drink though he is in fact still hungry or thirsty. This might be good manners in China, but it is not in the West at all. In the United States, it is impolite to keep asking someone again and again or insist on his accepting something. Americans have a direct way of speaking, if they want something, they will ask for it. If not, they will say, “No, thanks.” When an American is fed with beer by the host, for example, he might say, “No, thanks. I'll take some diet, Pepsy-Cola(百事可乐) if you have it.” That is what an American will do. So when you go to the United States, you had better remember the famous saying: When in Rome（罗马）, do as the Romans do.

    The American think a lot about time. They learn time. As children , they are to be on time to go to school , to do work and to do everything by their parents. When they are having a good time , they say that time is . If a person is dying, then he is living on borrowed time.

    Time is both money knowledge. Time is everything in America. A working American has to work hard for eight a day. This is working time. In his free time, he also works hard for money. Even Saturday and Sunday are filled activities. In the street you can hardly see a man walks slowly. They walk very fast. In fact, they are running. They love time time brings them money, comforts and progress. sometimes they also hate time, for they have become servants of the clock.
