21、   People who go to a formal Western dinner party for the first time may be surprised by table manners in Western culture. Knowing them will help you to behave properly.

First you should know how to put knives and forks. The forks are always on the left while knives on the right of the plate. When you see two spoons, you should know the bigger one is for soup and the small one for dessert. When you sit down at the table, you can take your napkin, unfold it and put it on your lap.

Then dinner starts with a small dish. Some people pray before they start eating, and other people may keep silent for a moment. After that everybody starts. After the small dish, you will get a bowl of soup-but only one bowl of soup and never ask for a second. Many Westerners like to use their fingers when they eating chicken or other birds at table, but never touch beef or other meat in bones. It is polite to finish eating everything on your plate, so don't take more food than you need. Of course you should try to speak quietly and smile a lot, but do not laugh all the time at the table.

However, table manners change over time. They follow the fashion of the day. Also, table manners are only important at formal dinner parties. If you're not sure what to do, you can always follow your hosts. Although good manners always make you look good, you do not need to worry about all these rules while having dinner with your friends or family.

23、   American people like to say “Thank you” when others help them or say something kind to them. People of many countries do so, too. It is a very good habit. You should say “Thank you” when someone passes you the salt on the table, when someone walking ahead of you keeps the door open for you, when someone says you have done your work well, or you have bought a nice thing, or your city is very beautiful. “Thank you” is used not only between friends, but also between parents and children, brothers and sisters.

“ Excuse me ” is another short sentence they use. When you hear someone say so behind you, you know that somebody wants to walk past you without touching you. It’s not polite(礼貌) to break others when they are talking. If you want to speak to one of them, say “Excuse me” first, and then begin talking. You should also do so when you begin to cough or make any noise before others.

Let’s learn to say “ Thank you” and “Excuse me”.

24、People are always interested in what the future will look like. The answers are quite different and some further discussions about the future predictions are here.

How can we know what the future will look like?

To understand the future, you must know the past. What took us to today and what changed along the way? The world has changed a lot during the past 200 years, but the basic (基本的) needs are the same as those 200 years ago. The basic needs are food, sleep, the feeling of love and care. Will they change in the next 200 years? No.

Why do we need to predict the future?

First, we need to start to think: What kind of future do we want for ourselves? What kind of future do we want to pass on to our kids? And then we need to know: What decisions do we need to make today? What decisions will give the best result in the future? If we have good answers to all these questions, we can live better.
