Never accept an invitation unless you really plan to go.You may refuse by saying，“Thank you for inviting me，but I may not be able to come.”If you are unable to come after accepting the invitation，be sure to tell those who invite you in advance (提前) that you will not be there.
When you have accepted the invitation to a party or a dinner，it is polite to bring small gifts with you，such as bottles of drink，flowers and chocolate.Sometimes Westerners may take you out to dinner in a restaurant and it does not necessarily mean that he is going to pay the bill at the end of the meal.He might want you to “go_Dutch”，which means each person pays his own bill.

To us，it seems so natural to put up an umbrella to keep the water off when it rains.But in fact the umbrella was not invented as protection against the rain.Its first use was as a shade (遮蔽) against the sun.
Nobody knows who first invented it，but the umbrella was used in very ancient times.Probably the first to use it were the Chinese，back in the eleventh century BC.
We know that the umbrella was used in ancient Egypt and Babylon as a sunshade.And there was a strange thing connected with its use：it became a symbol of honor and power (权力)．In the Far East in ancient times，the umbrella was allowed to be used only by those in high office or by royal people such as the kings or queens.
In Europe，the Greeks were the first to use the umbrella as a sunshade.The umbrella was in common use in ancient Greece，but it is believed that the first people in Europe to use the umbrella as protection against the rain were the ancient Romans.During the middle ages in Europe，the use of the umbrella almost disappeared.Then it appeared again in Italy in the late sixteenth century.And again it became a symbol of power.

It is true that people with better education are usually able to get better paying jobs.In other words，they have more chances to choose a good job while people with little or no education don't.It seems that the purpose of education is to make people get jobs.But this isn't accepted by all people.
Some people may think that a person should spend the best years of his life to get education only for a way of living.This was probably one of the earliest reasons of education.In fact，if education is just a way of making a living，people don't need to spend so much time in school.People can get education for a living in a short time.Subjects like history and geography need not be taught to everyone.Even language and mathematics need not be taught in detail (详细地)，either.Here it is clear that education is much more than teaching a man to get a way of living.
Education is wellrounded and it is mainly for improving a man.It is not only to teach him to speak，read and write，but also to develop his creative thinking and other abilities.After that，it is to make him a wise man and thankfully enjoy the achievements of human.Education is to make a man lead a better life.Educated people are expected to be able to listen to good music，read good books，watch plays and most of all take an interest in the world.
I would agree that making a good living is an important reason for education，but certainly not the most important or the main reason.

A．spend a long time in school
B．have a good chance to get a job

◆A great way for teens (青少年) to cool off during the summer is at water parks.If you live near a water park，you might think about getting a season pass.This way you can go as often as you like.
