An important question about eating out is who pays for the meal. If a friend of yours asks you to have lunch with him, you may say something like this, “I'm afraid it'll have to be someplace cheap, as I have very little money.” The other person may say, “OK, I'll meet you at McDonald's.”

    This means that the two agree to go Dutch, that is, each person pays for himself. He may also says, “Oh, no, I want to take you to lunch at Smith's.” This means the person wants to pay for you. If you feel friendly towards this person, you can go with him and you needn't pay for the meal.

    American customs about who pays for dates(约会) are almost the same as in other parts of the world. In the old days, American women wanted men to pay for all the meals. But today, a university girl or a woman in the business world will usually pay her own meal. So as you can see, it is a polite thing to make the question clear at the very beginning.

     A lot of boys and girls in western countries are wearing the same clothes, and many boys have long hair, so it is difficult to tell whether they are boys or not.

      One day an old man went for a walk in a park in Washington and when he was tired, he sat down on a chair by a swimming pool. A young person was standing on the other side of the pool.

     “Oh!” the old man said to the person sitting next to him, “Do you see the person with the loose clothes and long hair? Is it a boy or a girl?”

     “A girl,” said the person, “She is my daughter.”

     “Oh!” the old man said quickly, “Please forgive me. I don't know that you are her mother. ”

     “I'm not,” said the person, “I'm her father.”

      What are your clothes made of? Are they made of cotton or wool? Some students in Shandong wear different things. Their clothes are made of discs(光盘) or old clothes!

      On October 7th, 36 students in Linyi, Shandong Province, wore beautiful clothes in a show. Their clothes were made of all kinds of things.

      The show gave the students a chance to make things with their own hands. It also helped them learn to make good use of waste and not to throw everything away.

      Students had lots of good ideas. Some found used things, like old clothes, to make new dresses.

     “We hope to save energy. Our world is short of energy. So I don't want to just throw old things away,” said Xie Jing at Linyi Art School.

      Xie had more than 20 discs on her nice blue dress. She got them from her family and friends.

     “Though the discs are old, I look very cool in them!” she said.

      Song Dandan, a student from the school, looked like a farmer in her straw(稻草) coat and hat. She picked the straw from the fields and put them all together.

      “I want to show what people wore in the past.” she said.

      Du Yue made clothes for astronauts(宇航员)! She had white cloth all over her. When she walked, she tried to be slow. It looked like she was walking on the moon.

       “I hope to wear it in space some day. I wish that I could walk on the moon!” she said.
