12．　　It was late afternoon in a hot summer. John was sitting with his mother on the front stairs of their house. At the time of the day, it was much cooler outside. They really enjoyed it. The sun was setting over the mountains and the sky was orange. Lots of birds were flying home. John and his mother were talking happily.
　　After a while, John saw a man on the road walking towards their home. His mother was a little surprised. It was unusual for people to be walking along the main road, especially at that time of the day.
　　The man walked to the front gate. He was tall, thin and well-dressed. He looked a little tired from his walking. The man said he was a doctor from the hospital in the city. He was on his way to town to see a patient (病人) but his car broke down. He asked if they might call a mechanic (汽车修理工) in town to come and help him start his car.
　　John's mother said that there was no telephone around and the mechanic was not at work now. It would be difficult to get help for the doctor. Just then, John said that he would ride his bike into town to ask a mechanic to come over. They asked the doctor to wait at their house.
　　John's mother made the tired doctor a cup of tea. In no time, John returned in a white car with the mechanic. In the end, they had the doctor's car started. Then the man was able to see his patient and get back to the hospital in the city later that night.

14．　　Do you have a brother or sister? Do you have to share a bedroom with him or her? Do you think it's good or bad?
　　Sharing a bedroom with your brother or sister has good sides. For one, it helps you get a good night's sleep. If you are afraid of the dark, you'll fall asleep easier with someone else in the room. The same is true if you don't like being alone. For another, you can develop many important skills. You learn how to give and take so that nobody gets selfish (自私的). All these can help you have a peaceful environment and get along well with your brother or sister.
　　Sharing a bedroom with your brother or sister also has disadvantages. It may cause some trouble to your sleep. If you are a light sleeper, the noises he or she makes may make you sleep worse. The same thing happens if he or she can't sleep without a night light on. Also, when you share a room, you don't have your personal space because there is always someone else there. You can't learn to be independent either. That's because you never have the chance to learn how to solve the problems by yourself.
　　As you can see, there are both good and bad sides about sharing a bedroom. So, talk with your family to see what works better for you and your brother or sister!

15．　　Around the world, people have different ideas about dos and don'ts at restaurants. For example, in China it's all right to make a lot of noise in a restaurant. In fact, if a restaurant isn't noisy or lively, you may think there is something wrong with it. However, in many Western countries, restaurants are quiet places. If customers are too noisy, other people who are eating nearby might think it's rude and they can even complain (投诉) to the manager of the restaurant.
　　Paying the bill (账单) is also different from country to country. In China, offering to pay the bill at the end of a meal is polite. However, in Western countries, when friends eat together, they usually share the cost. Also when Westerners pay the bill, they usually leave some money for the waiter. But they don't want to give too much or too little, usually 15% — 20% of the bill. A waiter can make a lot of money by offering good service!
　　So remember when you go to a restaurant in different parts of the world, learn about the right and wrong things to do, or you will make silly mistakes.
