East or West A thcory says that in the Tang Dynasty,there were two popular markets in Chang'an.One was called the East Market,and the other was called the West Market.When shopping,people usually went to the East Market first,and then the West Market.As time went by,people started to describe shopping as maidongxi. Up or down Why shangcesuo but xiachufang?In ancient times,houses were laid out in a certain way.The gate was in the south.The bathroom was in the northeast,the kitchen in the southeast.On maps,north is up,south is down.So people said "go up"to the bathroom and "go down"to the kitchen.The words shang and xia also show social position.For example,pcople used huangshang to refer to (the emperor and dianxia to refer to princes who had a lower position. Left or right Most people today are right-handed.They feel uncomfortable if they try to use their left hand to write or use chopsticks.This was true in old times as well.So "left"was connected with being different,such as in yljianxiangzuo.If people don't accept common beliefs(信，念)，we still say they are following In most cultures,the right hand is used for handshakes.In India and Nepal,the left hand is seen as unclean.However,if you are in a culture where the left hand is used,you'd better do as the locals do. Next time you use these words,remember:directions in Chinese aren't just about place-they're about history,culrure,and how people lived.

B.In ancient Chinesc,the word"right"meant being different. C.In India,people should shake hands with their right hand. D.When shaking hands,we should never use the left band. D Plants are nature's amazing food makers.Unlike animals,plants cannot move around to find food.Instead,they have developed special ways to get"food"from things around them.One of the main ways is through photosynthesis(光合作用)， SUNLIGHT ENERGY For photosynthesis to happen,plants need fhrce important things-sunlight CARBOH water and carbon dioxide(CO2).When these three things come together,something DIOXIDE c0 wonderful happens.There are two important products of photosynthesis.First, OXYAE plants use sunlight to turn water and carbon dioxide into glucosc(which is SUGAR a kind of sugar.Second,they produce oxygen (for animals and humans to breathe.This is why plants are so important-they clean the air by taking in carbon dioxide from the air and giving out oxygen.
