Dining Custom
Every land has its own dining custom，and the United States is no exception．Americans feel that the first rule of being a polite guest is to be on time．If a person is invited to dinner at 6：30，the hostess expects him to be there at 6：30 or no more than a few minutes after． Because she usually does her own cooking，she times the meal so that the coffee and meat will be at their Best at the time she asks the guest to come．If he is late，the food will not be so good，and the hostess will he disappointed．When the guest can not come on time，he calls his host or hostess on the telephone，gives the reason，and tells at what time he thinks he can come．
As guests continue to arrive，the men in the group stand when a woman enters and remain standing until she found a chair．A man always rises when he is being introduced to a woman．A woman does not rise when she is being introduced either to a man or a woman unless the woman is much older．
When the guests sit down at a dinner table，it is customary for the men to help the ladies by pushing their chairs under them．
Even an American may be confused by the number of knives，forks，and spoons besides his plate when he sits down to a formal dinner．The rule is simple，however：use them in the order in which they lie，beginning from the outside．Or watch the hostess and do what she does．The small fork on the outside on the left is for salad，which is often served with the soup．The spoon on butter spreader，on a small bread-and-butter plate at the left．As the bread is passed，each quest puts his piece on the bread-and-butter plate．

Is There a Way to Keep the Britain’s Economy Growing？
1 In today’s knowledge economy，nations survive on the things they do best.Japanese design electronics while Germens export engineering techniques．The French serve，the best food and Americans make computers．
2 Britain specializes in the gift of talking．The nation doesn’t manufacture much of anything．But it has lawyers，stylists and business consultants who earn their living from talk talk and more talk．The World Foundation think tank says the UK’s four iconic jobs today are not scientists，engineers，teachers and nurses．Instead，they’re hairdressers，celebrities，management consultants and managers．But can all this talking keep the British economy going？The British government thinks it can．
3 Although the country’s trade deficit was more than ￡ 60 billion in 2006，UK’s largest in the postwar period，officials say the country has nothing to worry about．In fact，Britain does have a world—class pharmaceutical industry？and it still makes a small sum from selling arms abroad．It also trades services—accountancy，insurance，banking and advertising．The government believes Britain is on the cutting edge of the knowledge economy．After all，me country of Shakespeare and Wordsworth has a literary tradition of which to be proud．Rock‘n’roll is an English language medium，and there are billions to be made by their cutting—edge bands．In other words，the creative economy has plenty of strength to carry the British economy．
4 However，creative industries account for only about 4 percent of UK’s exports of goods and services．The industries are finding it hard to make a profit，according to a report of the National Endowment for Science，Technology and the Arts The report shows only 38 percent of British companies were engaged in”innovation activities”，3 percentage points below the EU average and well below Germany（61 percent）and Sweden（47 percent）．
5 In fact，it might be better to call Britain a“servant”economy—there are at least 4 minion people“in service"．The majority of the population are employed by the rich to cook，clean，and take care of their children．Many graduates are even doing menial jobs for which they do not need a degree．Most employment growth has been，and will continue to be，at the low—skill end of the service sector—in shops，bars，hotels，domestic service and in nursing and care homes．
