There are many kinds of trees, but they are alike in some ways. All trees have trunks. All trees have branches. All trees have leaves or needles. All trees have roots. Trees have many shape. Some trees look like a circle. Some trees look like a triangle.
All trees have trunks. The trunk of a tree gets bigger as it grows. All trees have leaves. The leaves of all trees do not look alike. Many trees lose their leaves in the fall. They grow new ones in the spring. The needles stay green all the time. When the needles fall off, some new needles grow. All trees have roots. The roots help hold the tree in the ground. The water from the soil goes into the roots to help the tree grow. All trees have seeds. They do not all look alike. New trees grow from the seeds.
Some animals use the seeds for food. Some animals make their homes in the trunk of tree. Birds make their home on the branches of a tree. Trees can keep us cool. It is much cooler to sit in the shade of a tree than it is to sit in the hot sun. Many trees are cut down for us to use. We use the wood in our fireplace so we can keep warm. We use the wood to make paper. We also use the wood from trees to build houses. Children use trees for fun, too.
Thailand (泰国) is often called "the land of smiles". The Thais, who are very friendly and helpful, are1to get along with. They are very tolerant (容忍的) and will try to avoid2and public confrontation (对抗).
GREETING PEOPLE
The Thai greeting, which is known as the Wai, consists of putting your palms (手掌) together and lifting them towards your chin (下巴).The Wai comes from an ancient greeting that used to 3 that people were not carrying weapons. The type of Wai you do depends on your class, age and gender. If you're a foreigner and you're not sure what to do, just4the person who is greeting you. You shouldn't Wai children or workers such as waiters.
BODY LANGUAGE
Never touch someone's head, which is the most scared part of the body for Thais, not even a child's. Thais think the feet are the lowliest part of the body,5you should never point your feet towards someone or put them on a table. When you visit a temple, you have to kneel with your feet facing a away from the Buddha which is a scared image.
MONKS
Monkhood (僧侣) is a very respected institution (受人尊重的人). It is the next most important part of Thai society after royalty. There are some
taboos(禁忌) when6monks. For example, a monk mustn't touch a woman or receive anything directly from I her. When travelling on public transport, women should not sit next to or near a monk. Most teenage boys become monks for a few months, which is seen as lucky for their families.
Many chave a ( special phone number for people to call when there are robbers, fires, aor other emergencies(紧急事情).
Dialling a single number to r emergencies started in Britain in 1937. The first emergency call was made in London on June 30, 1937. The service later spread to other pof Britain, but it was not until the late 1960s that the service could be used from every telephone.
The emergency phone number is different fcountry to country. It is usually a three-digit(三位) number that people can remember and dial e.For example, the number in Britain is 999, the number in the US is 911, the European number is 112, the Australian number is 000, and the Chinese numbers are 110 for the police and 119 for other emergencies.
"Be careful" is used very often in China to show care fothers. But in Britain it sounds lgiving an order or a warning. You could say that to younger people but never to those of your age or of older generation. I felt very much swhen my friend explained this to me one day.
On the ohand, an English expression such as "Are you OK?" would sound no good to us Chinese. In Britain, h, it is what we should use. My friend also told me that the British didn't like to be asked too much. Besides, they want to be more independent(独立的) so much that they think it a shame to ask for help if they could manage it by t.
