In small villages, people often say hello to their neighbours in stores, on the streets, or outside their homes. But in cities, many people don't greet their neighbours, even when they are standing in line at a supermarket. A recent study shows that greeting neighbours,especially up to six people a day,is really good

for you.

The study has found that greeting others can make you happier. The magic number is six. When you greet up to six people, your happiness score goes up. After that, the score shows no further rise. The study was carried out last year and got replies from more than 4,000 people. It tested people's social happiness,physical happiness,community happiness and more. People who greeted six neighbours had a much higher happiness score than those who didn't greet anyone.

You might think that saying hello is only about social happiness,but that's not true. Regular (经常的) greetings also improve your physical and community happiness.        If you feel your community is safe, it's more possible for you to talk to people. Walking around your neighbourhood can make you feel better physically.

Dan Witters, the leader of the study, said,"We don't mean that you should know the person well. Just stop and talk to them.The more people you greet,the more chances you have to start a conversation.”

Remember,saying hello regularly is a good way to improve your own happiness.

C. Different neighbours can greet you in different ways.

D. The reason is that they have nothing to do with each other.

(   )7.What can we learn from Dan Witters' words?

A. The more people you know,the happier you are.

B. Saying hello may help people start a conversation.

China has long been known as a nation of rites (礼仪之邦). Chinese people behave politely on any formal occasion, whether it is a wedding ceremony, a celebration party, or a banquet (宴席). The following basic Chinese table manners will help you generally master Chinese dinner manners.

One clear difference between Western and Eastern dining habits is portion (一份) size. While meals in Western restaurants are sized for individuals (个人), dishes offered in Chinese restaurants are meant to be shared. As such, food either comes in bite-sized pieces, or is prepared in a way that makes it easy to portion (分配) while being served to you on large plates.

As meals are shared, one may care about the degree of sanitation (卫生). It’s common to find communal chopsticks (公筷) placed with each dish. It is good manners to use the communal utensils in a public setting.

You may also notice that tables, especially those in larger dining rooms, are round and have a lazy Susan (more commonly known as “that rotating (旋转的) table on top of your table”). Besides efficiency (效率) purposes, circular tables stand for important meaning in Chinese culture. It means unity (团结) and presents dining as an event where family members get together. Before you spin the turntable to get to that delicious piece of duck, make sure that no one else is reaching for food! It’s impolite to spin the table just as someone is trying to pick up some food.
