Eating habits are different in different countries. The Chinese have a saying "Eat good things for b, eat a big meal for lunch, but eat less at dinner." Many people in the USA agree that one s a day with a good breakfast, but their ideas about lunch and dinner are d.
Most people in America only give themselves a s time to have their lunch, so they eat a small lunch. After work, they can have m time to eat a big dinner. Also dinner at home with all the family talking about their day is a way to take a good r after a long, hard day of work.
Eating at r is also different. In China, very often you can hear people t and laughing loudly, and they are just having a good time. In A it is not like this. They usually eat a good meal far a from the noisy places. If they are making some noise, other people will look at them angrily, even the manager(经理) will ask them to be quiet.
Young Larry stops by Mr. Smith's Clothes Store. Mr. Smith sees him and says: "Can I help you?" young Larry thinks for a minute and says, "Er, yes, good morning, Mr. Smith, I need two green sweaters for 15 dollars each, a pair of black shoes for 28 dollars, socks for 2 dollars for three pairs and three skirts in purple for 20 dollars each. "
Mr. Smith looks at young Larry in surprise (惊讶). He doesn't think a kid can pay for (支付) them, but he thinks maybe Larry's mother asks her son to do so. He goes into the store happily and takes out a big bag to put the clothes in. Young Larry stops him and asks "How much does that come to?"
"One hundred and twenty dollars." Mr. Smith answers.
"Now, if (如果) I give you two hundred dollars, how much change can I get?" asks Young Larry. "Eighty dollars." Mr. Smith answers.
"If I go on to take a yellow jacket for twenty dollars, how much change can I get then?"
"Sixty dollars. That's for sure." Mr. Smith answers with a little anger (生气). "Er, in fact," Larry says at last, "I don't want to buy the things. I ask you that just because it's my math homework, and I need some help. Thank you. Good bye! Mr. Smith. "
