What is the most important invention of all time? Is it the written word that helps us record information? Is it the telephone that lets us talk to people from all over the world? Is it the car that lets us travel at a great speed to meet others? Umberto Eco, an Italian writer, thinks it is something quite different. He says the most important invention might be right in front of our eyes. He is talking about a simple pair of glasses.
Eyeglasses were invented around 1000 years ago. Before glasses were invented, writers, scientists or teachers who could not see properly had to memorize everything. After about ten years of poor eyesight , they could not remember well enough and could not work.
Having glasses meant that people could work into their old age. People who wanted to remember information could write it down and read it. Eyeglasses are one of the world’s greater inventions and were probably worn by the people who designed the first telephone and car.

All over the world mothers and fathers teach their children manners .There are all kinds of manners. Other children may have manners that are different from yours.
Many years ago, children who had good manners were seen and not heard. They kept quiet if grown-ups were talking. Today children have more freedom.
Sometimes good manners in one place are bad in other places.
If you visit some friends in Mongolia and they ask you to eat with them, they want you to give a loud “belch” after you finish eating. Belching would show that you like your food .But in some other countries, if you give a loud “belch”, you are told to say “Excuse me, please.”

Lesson 11
A
Dear Rose,
I like your programmes very much. I’m now writing to ask you something about American social customs . My American friends want me to join them in their dinner party. I am very happy and have decided to go, but I’m a little worried about it, too. The social customs in my country are very different from here, so I’m afraid of making mistakes. Should I bring a present, such as sweets or flowers? Should I arrive on time or a little late? At the dinner table, how can I know which fork or knife to use? How can I let the family know that I’m thankful for their kindness?
Wang Lin
Dear Wang Lin,
It’s a good idea to bring a small present when you go to a dinner party. Flowers are always nice or you may bring a bottle of wine if you know that your friends drink it. You should arrive on time or five to ten minutes late. Don’t get there early. If you’re going to be more than fifteen minutes late, you should call and tell them. Try to be free at the dinner table. If you don’t know about choosing the right fork or knife, just watch the other people, and follow them. If you still have no idea of what to do, ask the person next to you. If you like the food, say so. Of course, you’ll thank them for the meal and for their kindness. It’s also a good idea to send a thank-you card the day after.

Jess really felt very happy. When he arrived at his seat in the classroom that morning, he found an invitation on his desk. It was from several of his classmates asking him to join them on a camping trip. This was the first time he was asked to join in an out-of-school activity. Why were they asking him now? Nobody seemed to like him. In fact, he had been so lonely that he drowned his feeling with food. As a result, he had put on a lot of weight, and this gave the kids something more to make fun of him.
Cindy, who was standing near Jess when he read the invitation, went out quickly to tell the others that the trick had worked. Everyone was pleased that Jess thought that was true. But there was no camping trip. The whole thing was made up.

Warm water freezes more quickly than cold water. Sir Francis Bacon said that almost four hundred years ago. But few people believed him until 1970. In that year a Canadian scientist George Kell proved the English professor was right. Dr. Kell filled an open oil pail with cold water. He filled another with warm water.
