Grace had to do something to feed herself because her parents died many years ago. Bertha  watched her friend’s  pale (苍白的) face. Just then she got a good idea. The next day when  Grace came back， Bertha showed her an invitation letter from her aunt Margaret.
“Grace， would you like to spend your holiday with us? I will help you find a part-time job in our town.” Grace cried after reading it.

Most Americans only give themselves a short time for lunch.So they eat a small lunch.After work they have more time to eat a big dinner.Also a quie dinner at home with all the family talking about their day is a way to take a good rest after a long and hard of work.
Eating at restaurants is also different.In China，people like to talk and laugh while eating.Very often you can hear people talking and laughing loudly，and they are having a good time.In America it is not like this.They want a quiet place，so they can eat a good meal far away from the noise of the outside world.If someone is talking too loudly，the manager（经理）of the restaurant will look at him or her angrily.If some people are talking too loudly，the manager of the restaurant may come out and ask them to be quiet.
