Going to a friend’s house is very exciting. You may spend time with a friend and get to see where he lives. So remember to be polite.
When to arrive
The first thing to remember is that when a friend invites you over, you need to arrive on time. If your friend tells you to come “around 3:00”, that means you can turn up a little bit after 3:00. But usually it is a good idea to arrive at the right time.
What to bring
Often it is also nice to bring something to your friend’s house. This could be a box of chocolates for you two to share, or maybe a movie that you can watch together. You can also bring some flowers. A little gift is a nice way to show your friend that you are excited to be at his house.
How to greet（问候）
When you visit your friend’s house, you may also meet his parents. You should tell them who you are and they may tell you their names. As a child, I went to visit my friend Paul. I called his parents by their first names John and Mary. But now I know it is more
polite to call them Mr. or Mrs. Smith. This will show them more respect （尊重） and then they may tell you to call them by their first names. Another way to show respect is to call them Madam or Sir.
It is a cool thing to visit a friend’s house. Be polite to your friend and your friend’s parents, and you will be invited again!

A poor chimney-sweeper, who had not enough money to buy a meal, stopped one hot summer day at noon before an eating-house, and remained regaling his nose with the smell of the victuals. The master of the shop told him several times to go away, but the sweeper could not leave savory smell, though unable to purchase the taste of the food. At last the cook came out of the shop, and taking hold of the sweeper, declared that, as he had been feeding upon the smell of his victuals (food and drink), he should not go away without paying half the price of a dinner .The poor fellow said that he neither could nor
would pay, and that he would ask the fit person who should pass, whether it was not an unreasonable and unjust demand.
The case was referred to a policeman, who happened to pass at that moment. He said to the sweeper: \of this man's meat, it is but just you should make him some recompense; therefore you shall, in your turn, regale (amuse) one of his senses, which seems to be more insatiable than your appetite. How much money have you? \
\\rattle (cause to make a lot of quick little noises)them loudly.\
The sweeper did so, and the officer, turning to the cook, said, \has paid you: the smell of your victuals regaled his nostrils (openings at the end of the nose);the sound of his money has tickled your ears.\
This decision gave more satisfaction to the bystanders than to the cook, but it was the only payment he could obtain.

Get ready, China. The world is coming! Every day lots of foreigners come here as business people or tourists. And even more people will come in 2008 for the Beijing Olympics. When they come to China, we should do something to help them enjoy themselves and like China and the Chinese people. But there are some things they may not like:
1. Traffic problems Cars park on sidewalks （人行道）. Bus drivers drive so fast that they make people who are trying to cross the street afraid.
2. Queue jumping At the post office, or even at McDonald’s, people push to the front of a line instead of waiting.
3. Bumping Too many people are crowded onto buses and trains. This makes people feel terrible, and it is not safe, either. On a bus in North America, people try to make themselves smaller and they’ll say “Excuse me” or “Sorry” if they knock into someone. In China, people make themselves bigger with no “Sorry” or “Excuse me”.
4. Littering I notice this everywhere. Some people throw rubbish onto the ground even when there is a rubbish bin（箱）right next to them.
Most Chinese people are just as unhappy with these kinds of things as I am. And, certainly, the government（政府）has known the problems and is trying to do something about them.
China is on her way!
