Most Americans like to travel on their yearly holiday. Today, more and more travelers in the United States are spending nights at small houses or inns instead of hotels. They get a room for the night and the breakfast the next morning.
Rooms for the night in private (私有的) ho mes with breakfast have been popular with travelers in Europe for many years. In the past five to ten years, these bed-and-breakfast places have become popular in the USA. Many of these America’s bed-and-breakfast inns are old historic buildings. Some bed-and-breakfast inns have only a few rooms，others are much larger. Some inns do not provide telephones or televisions in the rooms, others do.
Staying at a bed-and-breakfast inn is much different from staying at a hotel. Usually the cost is much less. Staying at an inn is almost like visiting someone’s home. The owners are glad to tell about the areas and the interesting places to visit. Many vacationers say that they enjoy the chance to meet local families.

Even nowadays there are a lot of misunderstandings between nationalities. Let’s have a look at what the following people have to say.
Maria Conti: I find the English people insincere (虚伪), cold and unfriendly. They keep saying “Thank you”, “I’m sorry”, even when they don’t know each other. They are even polite to their own relatives! Except for helping you find your way in the streets, they aren’t really friendly and never invite you to their houses.
Giannis Sinios: On the contrary I found them both broad-minded and friendly. I was invited to people’s houses and they all showed great interest in my ideas, Greek life and people. In England I learned that it was possible to be warm, friendly and polite at the same time.
Judy Brown: I lived in both Italy and Greece for a few years. At first there were a few misunderstandings between my foreign friends and myself. For example, I once gave a Greek friend a present for her birthday. I was rather sorry that she didn’t unwrap it immediately. What’s more, she even didn’t thank me until I asked her if she liked it! I’ve learned from different experiences that a lot of foreigners find our attitude to what we English people call politeness is rather insincere. They feel that politeness isn’t necessary between friends.
32. According to Maria Conti, it is .
A. insincere to keep saying “thank you” and “I’m sorry” to strangers
B. necessary for relatives to be polite to each other
C. unfriendly for the English people to help your way in the streets

35. According to Judy Brown’s experience, .
A. what the English people call politeness is rather insincere
B. the English people are less polite than the people in other countries
C. ideas of what are good manners are the same in different countries
D. ideas of what is politeness are not always the same in different countries

Brownie turned out to be more than just our family pet. She went everywhere with us.
People would stop and ask if they could pet her. Of course she’d let anyone pet her. She was just the most lovely dog. There were many times when we’d be out walking and a small child would come over and pull on her hair. She never barked or tried to get away. Funny thing is she would smile. This frightened people because they thought she was showing her teeth. Far from the truth, she loved everyone.
Now many years have passed since Brownie died of old age. I still miss the days when she was with us.

We are all called upon to make a speech at some point in life, but most of us don’t do a very good job. This article gives us some suggestions on how to give an effective speech.
So, you have to give a speech and you’re terrified. You get nervous, you forget what you want to say, you stumble over words, and you talk too long and you bore your audience. Later you think, “Thank goodness, it’s over. I’m just no good at public speaking. I hope I never have to do that again.”
Cheer up! It doesn’t have to be that bad. Here are some simple steps to take the pain out of speech making. Ask yourself the purpose of your speech. What is the reason? Why are you speaking? Then gather as many facts as you can on your subject. Spend plenty of time doing your research. Then spend plenty of time organizing your material so that your speech is clear and easy to follow. Use as many examples as possible and use pictures, charts and graphs if they help you make your points clearer. Never forget your audience. Don’t talk over their heads and don’t talk down to them. Treat your audience with respect. They will appreciate (欣赏) your thoughtfulness.[来源:学。科。网]
Just remember: Be prepared. Know your subject, your audience and the reason. Be brief. Say what you have to say and then stop. And be yourself. Let your personality come through so that you make person-to-person contact with your audience.
If you follow these simple steps, you’ll see that you don’t have to be afraid of public speaking. In fact, you may find the experience so enjoyable that you volunteer to make more speeches! You’re not convinced yet. Give it a try and see what happens.
