22、It’s never pleasant to stand in a crowded subway train. To make it worse, there’s often someone next to you eating loudly.

Eating and drinking is not rare(罕见的) among Chinese passengers. They may do this to save time, but the smell and noise annoys（打扰） others.

To change this, the Beijing municipal government is thinking about banning people from eating and drinking on the subway. Those who break the rule could face a fine(罚款) of up to 500 yuan.

Many people support the rule because they care for public manners in the city. Besides, eating and drinking on the subway is not healthy for both the eaters and the people around.

But others say that sometimes eating and drinking should be OK..

“If a little child is eating on the subway, how can you fine him 500 yuan?” said Jin Bo, a news commentator.

But he suggests that people start to pay attention to the issue(问题).

“Eating [in public] is not only about ourselves. It annoys others. We should keep this in mind from a young age.”

Beijing is not the first city in China to fine eaters on the subways. People who eat on the subway in Hong Kong face fines of up to 2,000 Hong Kong dollars(1,625 yuan).

23、American people like to say “Thank you” when others help them or say something kind to them. People of many countries do so, too. It is a very good habit(习惯).

You should say “Thank you” when someone passes you the salt on the table, when someone walking ahead of you keeps the door open for you, when someone says you have done your work well, or you have bought a nice thing, or your city is very beautiful. “Thank you” is used not only between friends, but also between parents and children, brothers and sisters.

“Excuse me” is another short sentence they use. When you hear someone say so behind you, you know that somebody wants to walk past you without touching you. It’s not polite to break others when they are talking. If you want to speak to one of them, say “Excuse me” first, and then begin talking.
