13.On April 18,the 100-day countdown to the 2012Olympic Games in London began.For this
year's Games'slogan,the London Organizing Committee of the Olympic Games has chosen the
phrase"Inspire a Generation"(激勵一代人).It is expected to inspire athletes to do their best,and common people to do better in their daily lives.
The Games are also inspiring lots of tourists to come to London.But if you go there,you'd better try your best to follow British manners and customs.Otherwise,you'll end up in a right mess!Expert William Hanson has given the Associate Press a few tips for tourists on how to act while in the UK.Let's have a look:
Don't talk about money.According to Hanson,British people hate talking about money and it is considered rude to do so.In particular,never ask anyone about their salary.
Afternoon tea.The traditional view of the British sitting down for an afternoon tea is not exact.Few people keep the tradition nowadays.
Give tips-but not in an obvious way.The British favor a quiet"thank you"gift for good service rather than the rigid 16-20%tip Americans always give.In fact,many British waiters will not feel anxious and nervous if you decide not to tip at all.
Greeting with a kiss.The British are not like their passionate  neighbors in France.Many prefer a handshake or a pat on the back to say"hello".
Conversation tip.If you want to be friendly,end a sentence with the word"mate"•
44.The underlined word"It"in the first paragraph refers toB.
A.London    B."Inspire a Generation''

C.give a 10%tip to a waiter

                    Chinese value(價值觀) and American value
  As a Chinese-American student,I have much to say about the value differences between the two countries.
  American kids love to make money by themselves.Chinese kids always ask money from their parents.So American kids spend more money than they have,but Chinese kids spend less money and they have money left in the bank.
  American parents think going to an expensive and famous college is not useful.Chinese parents would do anything to send their children to good colleges even if it means that they have to sell everything they have.
  American parents allow their daughters or sons to go out with their friends if they come back home at the right time.Chinese students aren't allowed to do so in middle or high school.
  American parents support and encourage their children all the time while Chinese parents think that criticism(批評) is the best love in the world.So American parents only look at their children's good side.Chinese parents seem to only see their children's bad side.
