"Thank you" and "Excuse me"
American people have the habbit of saying "Thank you". They say "Thank you" whenever others help
them or say something kind to them. People of other countries do so, too. 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, or when someone says your work is well done, or you have bought a nice thing, or your city is
beautiful.
"Thank you" is used not only between friends, but also between parents and children, brothers and
sisters, husbands and wives.
"Excuse me" is another short sentence they use. when you hear someone say so behind you, you know
that somebody wants to walk past without touching (触及) you.
It"s not polite to break others while 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 want to cough or make any unpleasant
noise before others.

a plan to dig a tunnel (隧道) and reach England. One of the first people who tried to dig a tunnel under the
Channel (英吉利海峡) was a French engineer called Albert Mathieu. His tunnel failed.
In 1881, Colonel Beamont and Captain English from Britain also tried to dig a tunnel. Their tunnel went
six kilometers into the Channel. Queen Victoria stopped them and said it was dangerous to connect with
France. It was a very good tunnel, and it is still there today. The new tunnel (ready in 1993) is, in fact,
three tunnels-two for trains and a "service tunnel" for fresh air to go in and for men who take care of the
tunnels. The tunnels are fifty kilometers long, forty meters under water. Forty kilometers of tunnel are
under the sea itself. They are the longest undersea tunnels in the world. Trains travel through the tunnels
at 160 km/h. People drive their cars onto trains and the trains take them through the tunnel. Each train takes
1,500 people and there are trains every ten minutes.

signals (信号) when you are under the sea. The station sends news to keep people up-to-date with the "world

by 10 percent every year for a few years. What is the best way to go to Tibet for tourist trip, by plane, by
bus or by train? People who want to go to Tibet always ask this question. If you take the plane, you won"t
see the beautiful places on the way. If you take the bus, you will be very tired after the trip. If you take the
train, you can enjoy the scenery along the way and sleep quite well. Now, since July 1, when the first train
ran 1,956 kilometers from Xining to Lhasa, more and more people have been going to Tibet.
The train stops at several famous places along the way, such as Qinghai Lake, Kunlun Mountain, and the
Potala Palace. Passengers can enjoy many activities during the journey, like the Tibetan dancing and Karaoke.

for lunch. Unlike most Chinese trains which have open-hole toilets, this one has special toilets which can
collect the waste. There is also a special garbage system in the train that keeps the environment clean.
All the windows on the train can protect people from the bright sunlight. Other equipment, such as
televisions and electrical sockets for computers and cell phones, can also be found on the train.

| Recently, children"s literature (文学) has become more and more popular. In fact, children"s literature has been welcomed by both children and adults. People have tried to find out why adults love children"s literature just like children themselves. But there is no final answer. Children"s literature is very different from adult"s literature. Most of it is fantasy (幻想). That means children can use their imagination. They can enjoy the fantasy world, which is never boring. The most important thing is that the world is bright and hopeful. In the fantasy world, dead people can be alive again and broken legs can grow once more. Right always beats wrong in the end. Children"s literature can also influence children a lot in education. When they read, their knowledge is increased and children know more about the truth. For a child who just learns to read, understanding the meaning of a word may be greater than learning the word itself. Children"s literature is not only for children. A large number of adults like it too. Not only young adults, parents and teachers, but also other people of all ages enjoy it. Both children and adults who love children"s literature can get much pleasure from it. | |||
