These days, most people in Britain and the US do not wear formal (正式的) clothes. But sometimes it is important to wear the right thing. Many British people don’t think about clothes very much. When they go out to enjoy themselves, they can wear almost anything. At theatres (剧院), cinemas and concerts (音乐会) you can put on anything you like: from beautiful suits and dresses to jeans and sweaters. Anything goes, as long as you look clean and tidy. But in Britain, as well as in the US, men in offices usually wear suits and ties and women wear dresses or skirts (not trousers). Doctors and business people always wear quite formal clothes. And in some hotels and restaurants men have to wear ties and women have to wear tidy dresses.
In many ways, Americans are less formal than British people, but they are more careful with their clothes. At home, most Americans wear informal (非正式的) or sports clothes. But when they go out in the evening, they like to look nice. In good hotels and restaurants, men have to wear jackets and ties, and women have to wear pretty clothes.
It is difficult to say exactly (确切地) what people wear in Britain and the US, because everyone is different. If you are not sure what to wear, watch what other people do and then do the same. You’ll feel good if you don’t look too different from everyone else.

China's national anthem， March of the Volunteers， is a song that we learn at the beginning of primary school and sing at every flag﹣raising ceremony． And now， there's even a law to protect it．Last September， the government passed the National Anthem Law， which became effective（生效）from Oct．1， 2017． It states how we should sing or play the song， requiring all of us to behave towards it politely．
Primary and middle schools must teach the anthem to their students and make them understand the song's spirit and history． Moreover， the law requires us to be serious when we are singing the song． We can't joke about it or change the song's words or music． If someone breaks the law， he or she can be detainedfor up to 15 days， or face further punishment in more serious situations． The national anthem is different from other songs ﹣ it is the symbol of our country．

Waves（波浪） are beautiful to look at，but huge waves are greatly harmful to ships at sea，as well as houses and buildings near the seaside．What causes waves？ Most waves are caused by winds blowing over the surface of the water．The sun heats the earth，causing the air to rise and the winds to blow．The winds blow across the sea，pushing little waves into bigger and bigger ones．
The size of a wave is decided by how strong the wind is，how long it blows，and how large the body of water is．In a small bay，big waves will never build up．But at sea the wind can build up big，powerful waves．
It is believed that the height of a wave （in meters）will usually be no more than one tenth of the wind's speed （in kilometers）．In other words，when the wind is blowing at 120 kilometers an hour，most waves will be 12 meters high or less．Of course，some waves may come together to form big waves that are much higher．
