Social customs and ways of behaving change．Things which were considered impolite many years ago are now acceptable．Just a few years ago, it was considered impolite behaviour for a man to smoke on the street．No man who thought of himself as being a gentleman would make a fool of himself by smoking when a lady was in a room.

Customs are also different from country to country．Does a man walk on the left or the right of a woman in your country? Or doesn't it matter? What about table manner? Should you use both hands when you are eating?

The Americans and the British not only speak the same language but also share a large number of social customs．For example, in both America and England people shake hands when they meet each other for the first time．Also, most Englishmen will open a door for a woman or offer their seat to a woman, and so will most Americans．Promptness is important both in England and in America．That is, if a dinner invitation is for 7 o'clock, the dinner guest either arrives close to that time or calls up to explain his delay.

The important thing to remember about social customs is not to do anything that might make other people feel uncomfortable -- especially if they are your guests．There is an old story about a man who gave a dinner party．When the food was served, one of the guests started to eat his peas with a knife．The other guests were amused or shocked, but the host calmly picked up his knife and began eating in the same way．It would have been bad manners to make his guest feel foolish or uncomfortable.

"Bad manners" in the last sentence means __.

Scotland provides superb opportunities to enjoy wild and grand scenery which is even more impressive than the postcards suggest．It also offers towns and cities with a rich cultural life, a good mix of accommodation and places to eat and drink．Friendly and welcoming, it is an interesting and colorful all-season destination, where landscapes and the environment, sport and leisure pursuits, heritage and history, culture and cuisine are all part of a rewarding experience.

The best reason for choosing to go on holiday to Scotland is: one of the last places inside the crowded and frenetic European Union where it is possible to be alone isolated countryside．This is not to say that Scotland, like everywhere else, does not have its tourist traps, its crowded roads or its popular beauty spots．But it is relatively easy to escape from them.

It would be a mistake to think that Scotland is merely an extension of England.

Indeed, no attitude is capable of causing greater offence to the Scots．They successfully resisted English attempts at domination for seven hundred years, and many differences between the two countries persist.

Scotland's history, embodied in its castles, battlefields, and ancient links with France, Flanders and Scandinavia, is special.

In Europe, the Greeks were the first to use the umbrella as a sunshade．And the umbrella was in common use in ancient Greece．But it is believed that the first persons in Europe to use the umbrella as protection against the rain were the ancient Romans.

During the Middle Ages, the use of the umbrella practically disappeared．Then it appeared again in Italy in the late sixteenth century．And again it was considered a symbol of power and authority．By 1680, The umbrella appeared in France, and later on in England.

By the eighteenth century, the umbrella was used against rain throughout most of Europe．Umbrellas have not changed much in style. during all this time, though they have become much lighter in weight．It wasn't until the twentieth century that women's umbrellas began to be made, in a whole variety of colors.

Many Japanese-American young men were called into the army．Some of them joined the US Military Intelligence Service or MIS．The MIS was a secret group that fought the Japanese soldiers．This secret group translated important maps and papers．They questioned Japanese prisoners．Another task they did was to translate diaries written in Japanese.

Sometimes Japanese soldiers hid in caves to hide from the Americans．The MIS would try to get the scared soldiers to leave the caves．This was known as "cave flushing." Some of the soldiers would give up and leave the caves.

Other Japanese would jump to their deaths.

The MIS never got awards for their efforts until the year 2000．Then they were rewarded for their brave acts in World War II．It took almost sixty years for them to be honored.

Gayle Yamada has made a film about the brave Japanese-American MIS．The film is called "Uncommon Courage" and is a true story．Hopefully, Yamada's film and the movie, "Pearl Harbor," will not cause people to hate Japanese-Americans or any other race.
