     "Ordinary" was the worst word my mother could find for anything. I remember her taking me shopping and
taking no notice of the shop assistants when they suggested that some dress or pair of shoes was very popular-
"We've sold fifty already this week". That was all she needed to hear. "No", she would say, "We're not interested
in that. Haven't you got something a little more unusual?" And then the assistant would bring out all the strange
colors no one else would buy. And later she and I would argue because I wanted to be ordinary but my mother
wanted to be unusual. "I can' t stand that haircut," she said, when I went to the hairdresser with my friend and
came back with a boy haircut, "It's so terribly ordinary." Not ugly, not unsuitable. But ordinary. "Couldn't you
please wear something else?" I asked one day when she was dressing for Parents' Day in tight-fitting bullfighter's
pants and a bright pink sweater. "What's wrong with what I'm wearing? What wasn't wrong with it!" "It's just
that I wish you'd wear something ordinary," I said "something that people won't laugh at. "She looked at me
angrily and then said, "Are you ashamed of your own mother? If you are, Isadora, I feel sorry for you. I really
do."

From the time we were babies we have been taught manners. We are taught how to hold a knife and fork and not to talk with our mouths full. We are taught how to shake hands and when to stand and when to sit and the way to introduce people.

Sometimes good manners in one place are very bad manners somewhere else. Almost everywhere eating together means that people are very friendly to each other. But in parts of Polynesia（波利尼西亞）it is bad manners to be seen eating beside each other. So they politely turn their backs to each other when they are taking food.

Some East Africans spit four times as a kind of blessing（祝福）.They do it to show that they want a sick person to get well，or to bless a new-born baby. In most other places，spitting means something completely different. It usually shows an unhealthy habit. In many countries，it may mean that you hate someone.

When we go to visit someone we say “ Hello！” Or “ How are you ? ” or things like that.

But if you are visiting an East African village , everyone will be very careful not to pay attention to you, The polite thing there will be for you to go quietly，without speaking to anyone, and sit beside your friend. You should wait until he has finished what he is doing and then he will begin talking to you.

In a village in Arab , a visitor will walk behind all the tents until he gets to the one he wants to visit. If he passes in front , he will be invited into each tent and asked to eat. It is rude to refuse.

Soon computers and other machines will be able to remember you by looking at your eyes! The programme works because everyone’s eyes are different. So in the future you won’t have to remember a number when you want to use a machine or take money out of a bank. You’ll just have to look at the machine and it will be able to tell who you are. The eye-recognition(眼睛識(shí)別) programme is tested in shops and banks in the USA, Britain and Italy.

Scientists are working on other systems, such as knowing you from the shape of your face or hand or even your smell! And machines can already tell who you are from your voice or your fingerprint(指紋). But eye-recognition will replace other ways of finding out who you are. It is better, because your eyes don’t change as you get older, or get dirty like hands or fingers. And even twins have different eyes, so the programme can be up to 94% correct, depending on how good the technology is. In Britain, it was found that 91% of people said that they liked the idea of eye-recognition.
