American Eating Customs
The American eating custom is really funny. They eat almost everything with a fork. It is said that holding a knife in one's right hand a few seconds longer is against good table manners (礼仪).
If it is necessary to use a knife, people take the fork in their left hands, and cut off a piece of meat. Then put the knife down, take the fork with their right hands, and eat the food.
If it is not necessary to use a knife, Americans don't use one. They try to cut things like potatoes and fish with a fork. Tables are laid with one knife and two forks, the outside fork being for the salad. There is no need for foreign visitors to follow the American custom and try to eat the salad with only a fork. But if you use your knife, you should remember to save it for the meat course. Even desserts (甜食) (except ice-cream) are eaten with a fork. The spoon you see by your dessert is meant to be for coffee.

(B)
I was traveling alone through the UK. To reach places that were off the public transportation map, I bought an old car, which cost most of my money. I couldn't afford to stay in the hotel, so I had to camp in my car for the rest of the trip.
One morning I awoke in my old car on a country road in Northern Ireland and saw a single house. The water in my thermos (保温瓶) had gone cold, so I knocked on the door of the house. A woman opened it. I asked her for some hot water. But she wouldn't let me get away with just that! I was invited indoors. She asked me to sit at the table and have breakfast with her family. They filled my thermos before I left.
I was greatly moved. And I decided to pass the kindness on. The other day I met a young man who had been driving around to look for a parking lot. He looked increasingly upset. I was glad that I was able to point one out to him. His thankful smile was the hugest reward (奖赏) for me.
