18、When we meet friends, we greet them by saying “hi” or shaking hands. But in some countries, people greet each other by kissing cheeks.

In a cheek kiss, both people lean forward. They lightly touch cheek to cheek or lip (嘴唇) to cheek. They also might shake hands or hug each other.

In Europe, cheek kissing is common. It is done between a man and woman, a parent and child, two women or two men. People kiss on both cheeks once or more. The French, for example, kiss twice, once on each cheek. The Dutch kiss three times.

In America, people kiss one or both cheeks, but only when meeting very good friends or family. Cheek kissing is most common between a man and woman who know each other well. Two men do not cheek kiss.

In the Arab world, cheek kissing is common among friends, relatives and lovers. Younger people kiss the elderly to show respect.

Sometimes people may air-cheek-kiss. Sound strange? It means they don’t touch each other’s cheeks while kissing. They blow a kiss without touching cheeks or just kiss into the air. Ladies wearing lipstick (唇膏) do this kind of kiss.

Not all people kiss on the cheeks. Eskimos (愛斯基摩人) “kiss” with their noses. They gently rub the tips of their noses together. This is called an Eskimo kiss.

17、The 2008 Beijing Olympic Games are drawing near. Are you eager to enjoy watching the matches or start serving as a volunteer? First, you need to know about audience manners.

The behaviour of courtside audiences is considered to be an important part of sporting culture. In 2004, after world champion Stephen Hendry lost to Ding Junhui in the China Open Snooker Championships, he complained of the noise from Chinese spectators. Perhaps you and your classmates could discuss how to behave while in the audience at the Olympic Games.

Most sporting arenas have rules for spectators written on the back of the tickets. Read your ticket carefully before you arrive. Try to reach your seat half an hour before the start of the event and don’t leave when a game is in progress. When you leave, remember to take away your soft drink bottles and other trash(垃圾).

During exciting games, try to control yourself. Don’t criticize the performance of players and coaches. Be careful with your words, since some may cause anger among other people in the audience.

Applause is a special form of body language you can use to communicate with players. But you should do it properly. When players first appear, clap your hands together to welcome them, but don’t go on for too long. After an excellent performance, applaud warmly. If someone fails, your applause will help encourage them.

Applause is not welcome, however, while a game is in progress and players need to keep their concentration. Various sports have various rules for the audience.

Enjoying artistic gymnastics requires silence. But lots of cheering can really help basketball and football players. Snooker and table tennis courtside behaviour includes a ban on flash photography. Mobile phones are not allowed in shooting centres.

To be a good spectator, you should take time to learn the game-specific rules and related culture of each event.

14、Coca Cola’s secret is saved!

Three people have been arrested for trying to sell Coca-Cola company secrets to PepsiCo, according to the US Department of Justice.

Two men of Georgia and one man of New York City have joined in the trick to sell the Coke secrets to opponent Pepsi for $1.5 million. In May, PepsiCo told Coca-Cola that it had received a letter from a person calling himself "Dirk" offering "very detailed and secret information" about Coke’s products for a fee, according to the DOJ press release.

The FBI got its secret men to look into the case, and over the course of the next month gave the men envelopes with money in exchange for Coke secrets. Ibrahim Dimson of New York and Edmund Duhaney and Joya Williams of Georgia were arrested in Atlanta on Wednesday without incident, and charged with unlawfully stealing and selling trade secrets. Williams was a Coca-Cola employee.

"Sadly, today’s arrests include a person within our company," said Coke CEO Neville Isdell in an email to employees. "While this failure of trust is difficult for all of us to accept, it stresses the responsibility we each have to watch out in protecting our trade secrets." "Information is the lifeblood(生命線) of the company," Isdell continued. "As the health of our enterprise(事業(yè)) continues to strengthen, our ideas and our competitive data carry increasing interest to those outside our business."

A PepsiCo spokesman said that the company was pleased to be of help in the investigation(調(diào)查). "We did what any responsible company would do," said the spokesman. "Competition can be fierce, but it must also be fair and legal."
