Different countries have different customs. If I have dinner with my host in China, he will always put more food on my plate as soon as my plate is empty. This often makes me feel very uncomfortable.

Even if I didn't want to, I had to eat all the food on my plate, because in the West, leaving food on my plate is considered a bad habit. At the same time, I noticed that when a Chinese goes to an American dinner, he often refuses to ask for food and drink, even though he is still hungry or thirsty. This may be a good habit in China, but the West doesn't see it that way.

In the United States, it is rude to ask someone to accept something without stopping. The American way of speaking is very direct. If they want something, they ask for it; If they don't want it, they'll say, "No, thank you."

When the host invites an American for a beer, for example, the American might say, "No, thank you." If you still have orange juice, I'd like to have some more.

That's what the Americans might do. So, when you go to the United States, you'd better remember the famous saying: "Do as the locals do."

I eat the food, even if I don't want to leave the food on my plate in the West because it is considered impolite behavior. I also noticed that when the Chinese sat together at dinner parties in the United States, he often refused food or a drink, but he was actually still hungry or thirsty. This may be polite, but in China it is not in the West.

In the United States, Zhang Zuxing insisted on constantly asking others for impoliteness, and he still accepted it. Americans have a direct way of speaking. If they want something, they will ask for it.

If not, they will say, "No, thank you." When an American with beer delivered to the host, for example, he might say:

No, thanks. I'll take some orange juice if you have it. "That's an American one.

Therefore, when you go to the United States, you better remember the famous saying: "When in Rome, do as the locals do." ”

Joe Brown has a very interesting job – he's a forensic portraitist. Witnesses to the crime described the offender to Joe, who based on these descriptions described the offender's appearance, and then published the wanted notice in newspapers and on television.

Although he always wanted to make his paintings as close as possible to the archetypes of the figures, this desire was often difficult to achieve. People witness the same crime from different angles and times, so it is not uncommon for there to be multiple versions of the same offender. Also, the narrator usually doesn't remember every detail.

For example, "the prisoner was a young man of medium stature with long straight brown hair and large eyes," a female witness to a crime described it. Another female witness said: "He was tall, thin, with curly blond hair and was about 30 years old.

However, the truth is that this criminal is actually a stocky old man, and he has short black hair!

An interesting job.

Joe Brown has a very interesting job, he is a criminal portrait painter. Some people will tell Joe when they see the criminal, they will tell him what the criminal looks like, and then Joe will draw a portrait of the criminal and post it in the newspaper, on TV, as a way to find the criminal.

He wanted to draw every criminal accurately, but the job was sometimes difficult. Many people don't see things the same way, so they differ in how they describe people. And they don't always remember it very well, either.

The offender was of medium build, young, with long straight brown hair and big eyes", said one of the women. Another woman said: "He is tall, thin, with curly blond hair and is about 30 years old".

In the end, the real culprit is a short, rugged old man with short black hair!

Tom arrived early at the bus stop to Paris. Buses to Paris don't depart until 11:55.

He saw a lot of people waiting inside the station. Some people lined up, others walked around. There was a group of female students, and their teachers were trying to get them in line.

Tom looked around, but couldn't find a place to sit.

He walked into the station café and looked up at the clock there, and it was only 11:48. He found a seat in front of a wall with a large mirror and sat down. At this time, one of Tom's colleagues, Mike, walked in and sat down with Tom.

When is the car? Mike asked.

Then I'll ask you for some more tea. Mike said.

They drank and talked. Then Tom looked at the bell again. "Oh! It's going backwards. He called. "A few minutes ago it was 11:48, now it's 11:30. ”

Let's say you don't use a car today. Let's say you have a stranger next to you who needs a car, and if that happens, are you willing to lend it out?

Car sharing organizations like Getaround, Relayrides, and JustShareIt have sprung up to connect vehicle owners with demanders in this way. These companies have their own rules, but in general, car owners charge two-thirds of the rent. According to Relayrides, owners of a new midsize car can earn $3,000 a year by renting out their car for 10 hours a week.

Vehicle sharing between car owners is still in the experimental stage, and it has already been done in San Francisco and elsewhere. There's still a long way to go before you want to mature like Airbnb. Airbnb has had an amazingly huge success with home sharing.

Shelby Clark, founder of Rdlayrides, said potential investors in the company were concerned that car owners would not dare to hand over their cars to strangers. To underscore this point, he uses Airbnb as an example to explain: "Having someone sleep in your room affects your personal life more than renting out your car.

These companies provide insurance for renters, which can give car owners more peace of mind. However, only California and Oregon have legally held the owner not responsible for a renter in a car accident.

In other states, that's ambiguous," says Shelby Clark, "where a renter can claim compensation from either party, including the owner, if he gets into a serious accident." ”

In order to avoid the car owner's worries, it is also necessary to check the renter's recent record of serious driving violations.

Google translates as: Suppose you don't need your car today. Suppose as it happens when a stranger needs a car in your field.

Are you willing to rent yours? Some car-sharing startup UPS, including Getaround, Journey Relay and JustshareIt, are eager to connect car owners to offer rental this way. The company has different regulations, but the participating owners receive, in general, about two-thirds of the rental income.

The journey relay says that the owner of a medium-sized late-model sedan who rents a car for 10 hours a week may wish to clear about 3,000 years. Peer-to-peer car sharing is still in the experimental stage, and it can be found in San Francisco and a few other places. It has a long way to go before it becomes the car equivalent of Airbnb's peer-to-peer shared space apartments and houses, with a surprising success story.

Shelby Clarke, founder of Journey Relay, said his company has been on the lookout for potential investors, and owners would be afraid to hand over their cars to strangers. To address this, he noted Airbnb, he said: "The distraction of letting people sleep in the living room is not to let someone else use your car to your personal space."

All of these companies offer their own insurance to protect their rentals and should put the owner's mind at ease. However, only two states – California and Oregon – have passed laws clarifying that owners will not be affected in any way by a surprise to car-sharing renters. "In all other countries, legal ambiguity remains," Shelby Clark said.

If a renter should be involved in a serious accident in these countries, the victim can be expected to go after every party possible, including the owner of the car. "Also to remove the worries of car owners, renters with driving records were selected as the most recent serious violations. 

Suppose you don't need your car today. Suppose that when it happens, a stranger in your area does need a car. Are you willing to rent yours?

Some car-sharing companies, including Getaround, Relayrides and JustshareIt, are eager to connect car owners and rent like this. The company has different regulations, but the participating landlords accept, in general, about two-thirds of the rental income. Relayrides means that for a medium-sized owner, the new sedan is rented out to work 10 hours a week, and a car can be clear about $3,000 a year.

Peer-to-peer sharing is still in the experimental stage; It can be found in San Francisco and some other places. It became an unexpectedly successful story of Airbnb cars quite a long way to share peer-to-peer shared space in apartments and houses. Shelby Clark, founder of Relayrides, said potential investors in his company have been worried that bosses will be afraid to hand over cars to strangers.

To address this, he noted that Airbnb, "Letting people sleep in your living room is more of a distraction into your personal space than letting someone else use your car." "All of these companies offer their own insurance to cover their rentals, which is supposed to put the owners at ease. However, only two countries – California and Oregon – have passed laws that make it clear that property owners will not suffer any consequences for a car-sharing renter to have an accident.

In all other countries, the ambiguity of the law remains," Shelby Clark said. "If the renter should be involved in a serious accident in these countries, the victim can be after each party, including the owner of the car. "It can also eliminate the worries of car owners, renters who have a driving record check for recent serious violations.
