When my family moved to America in 2010 from a small village in Guangdong, China, webrought not only our luggage, but also our village rules, customs and culture．One of the rules isthat young people should always respect elders．Unluckily, this rule led to my very first embarrass-ment in the United States.
I had a part-time job as a waiter in a Chinese restaurant．One time, when I was serving foodto a middle-aged couple, the wife asked me how the food could be served so quickly．I told herthat I had made sure they got their food quickly because I always respect the elderly．As soon as Isaid that, her face showed great displeasure．My manager, who happened to hear what I said, tookme aside and gave me a long lecture about how sensitive Americans are and how they dislike thedescription "old"．I then walked back to the table and apologized to the wife．After the couple heardmy reason, they understood that the problem was caused by cultural differences, so they laughedand were no longer angry.
In my village in China, people are proud of being old．Not so many people live to be seventyor eighty, and people who reach such an age have the most knowledge and experience．Youngpeople always respect older people because they know they can learn from their rich experience.
However, in the United States, people think "growing old" is a problem since "old" shows thata person is going to retire or that the body is not working well．Here many people try to keep them-selves away from growing old by doing exercises or jogging, and women put on makeup, hoping tolook young．When I told the couple in the restaurant that I respect the elderly, they got angry be-cause this caused them to feel they had failed to stay young．I had told them something they didn't
want to hear.
After that, I changed the way I had been with older people．It is not that I don't respect them
any more; I still respect them, but now I don't show my feelings through words.

Strong bonds can exist in dating relationships. My cousin Candice and her friend Louis started dating casually last year. As the months passed, they began seeing only each other, and now they enjoy a close relationship. They are neither married or engaged but are constant companions and consider each other best friends. Candice’s friends think of them as a couple and recognize their special relationship.
Both Candice and Louis have made commitments to each other. They think of themselves as couple. However, each has the freedom to develop new friends, to seek separate social activities, to build separate careers, and to have his or her individual needs fulfilled.
Living together can be the transition from extended dating to marriage. Just recently, Louis and Candice decided to live together. They are not sure about marriage and want to try living together first. Louis has many divorced friends who had rushed into marriage. He doesn’t want to make a similar mistake. He knows that living together will not be easy, but feels he has few alternatives. Friends and family will exert pressure on the couple to get married. Louis knows that this is the worst reason to get married. He believes that living together will provide Candice and him with an opportunity to see how well each can adjust to the other’s feelings and living styles.He hopes they will discover whether they are compatible.
Louis moved into Candice’s apartment this weekend. Books, records, and clothing fit in nicely. Of course, they will have to decide what to do with two couches, two beds, twenty-two pots and pans, and duplicates of all kitchen and bath items. They have settled in as an unmarried-married couple and will have to make the same adjustments as any newlyweds.

A:A Happy Couple. B:My Cousin's Boyfriend. C:The Newlywed. D:An Unmarried-married Coupl
