In China, people use chopsticks when they eat meals. Chinese people can use chopsticks to eat any kinds of food except soup. They use a spoon to eat soup. They cut the meat into small pieces before they cook it. They do not need to cut the meat up while they are eating, so they can eat their meals with chopsticks.
In the U.S., people use forks, spoons, and knives when they eat. In fact, American people usually eat beef, steak, or chicken. They cook that meat in one whole piece. They need to use knives and forks to cut them up.
Americans use the fork with their left hand and use the knife with their right hand when they cut meat. After they cut it into small pieces, they change the fork from the left hand to the right hand. Then they eat the meat. When Chinese people use a fork and a knife, they feel that their hands are very busy and that this way of eating is too complicated.

Tom, a reporter friend of ours, passed the large street level windows of the New York Public Library. He noticed that a man on the other side of the window was reading that day's newspaper. With delight Tom saw that the paper was open to the very page for which he had written a big article.
The reporter stopped, fixing his eyes on the man. Would the man read deeply into the article? To the bottom of the page? It was one of those rare, unexpected moments of which a writer dreams. The writer's nose got closer to the glass. The page wasn't turned: good, the reader was interested. Our friend stayed there a bit longer to learn the answer to the important question: Would the reader turn to the page where the story was continued?
Two minutes passed. Four minutes. Nothing. The man must be a very slow reader indeed. A few
moments more and the writer stepped around to look carefully at the reader's face, at his eyes. That was when he realized the reader had fallen asleep. Why did Tom stop to look at the man? 2.
A.To buy the newspaper.
