What

do

you

think

of

British

people

and

American

people?

You

might

think

that

there

are no differences between the people in the two countries. After all they speak the

same language, don't they? But if you ask a British or an American person, the

differences are quite great.

What

do

British

people

think

Americans

are

like?

The

British

think

Americans

are

very

strange. They make

a lot of noise and they

laugh too loudly. They are rich,

and

they

only

think

about

money.

But

the

British

do

say

that

Americans

are

kind,

friendly

people. They are happy to help you if you are in trouble.

What do Americans think of the British? Well, they think the British are cold

and very unfriendly. They are not interested in success or in making lots of money.

They

think

Britain

is

the

best

country

in

the

world.

They

look

down

upon

other

countries.

But

Americans

say

that

the

British

are

quite

good

workers.

They

are

brave

and

honest.

And in time of trouble they face difficulties happily.

You can see that these ideas can cause misunderstanding between the British and

Americans. But when American and British people become friends, they usually find

things are not as bad as they expected.

B

My son was a second-grader. He went to school by bus every day. He was the first

student on in the morning, as we were farthest from school, and the last student off

in the evening. I was a teacher myself and it was a comfort to realize the school

staff

(

职员

)

were

all

working

as

hard

as

I

was

to

provide

a

safe

learning

environment.

One day I came home from work and waited for my son to get home for a long time.

Then I called the school. “Perhaps he’s just a bit late,” said the secretary. “I

will call the dr

iver to see if those children are home.” A few minutes later, I

answered the phone to hear that the other students were home. Then I called his

friends’ parents, to see if perhaps he had gotten off at their stop to play. The

answers were all “No.”

By that time, it was dark and I was scared. My home was in the mountain areas,

and it was said that a wolf had come up somewhere. My husband wasn’t at home, so

I forced myself to calm down and decided to go out to look for him. I was about to

go

out

when

the

telep

hone

rang;

it

was

from

the

driver.

“He’s

okay,”

I

heard.

“He

was asleep on the seats in the back, under a couple of jackets. Since it’s dark,

can he spend the night with my family?”

I

was

relieved

and

agreed.

Since

my

son

had

a

great

adventure,

the

school

started

giving a copy of the list to the driver, so he could check off the children’s names

when they got off the bus. I think highly of the school for taking the cautionary

(

警戒的

) step ahead; it is a sign of their concern for students, parents, and staff.

If your family is thinking of getting a pet, consider adopting from an animal

shelter. Animal shelters are full of dogs, cats, rabbits, and more animals, all in

need of loving homes. Some may come with emotional or behavioral issues, but most

are happy, healthy, and ready for a loving home. Here are some tips for you to find

great animals.

Make some decision.

Think about what you want in a pet and remember that all pets have different

personalities.

Cats

tend

to

be

more

independe

nt

and

need

less

affection,

but

kittens

need lots of attention. Cats don’t need to be walke

d, but you need to clip their

nails

and

play

with

them.

Dogs

need

to

be

walked

at

the

very

least

twice

a

day.

However,

they are usually great companions and love to spend time with their family.

Visit the shelter.

Set aside at least a few hours to visit shelters in your area

—

remember that you

may

need

to

visit

more

than

one

visit.

Try

to

bring

along

everyone

who

will

be

living

with a new pet. Ask the shelter staff lots of questions. And never adopt an animal

because

you feel sorry for it

—

be patient

so

you find a pet who is truly

a good

match

for your family.

Get everything ready.

Buy all necessary supplies and food

well before

the animal comes home. Make sure

that

the

entire

household

is

in

agreement

about

rules

and < /p>

responsibilities

—

w ill

the

dog be allowed on the couch? Who will clean the litter box? Put it in writing before

the pet arrives.

Bring your new friend home!

You’ll probably be excited when your new pet arrives, but be sure to give them

space and time to get adjusted to a new home and a new family. The pet may act

differently

once

they

leave

the

shelter.

Interact

（交流）

with

your

pet

a

lot

and

get

them used to a routine, and soon you’ll be one big happy family !
