三十七. Protecting Your Teeth
George Washington had many great successes in his life, but he didn'tsucceed in keeping his own teeth! Back then, many people lost their teeth. But modern people know how to protect their teeth.
The most important thing is to brush your teeth. By keeping the teeth clean you willnot have a toothache or other tooth diseases.
One other important thing is to eat right. For example, milk and cheese give teeth calcium(鈣), which they need to be strong. Fruits and vegetables also help by providing VA and VD. On the other hand, sweet food is bad for teeth.
So brush your teeth and eat right. They are the basic things you should do to protect your teeth. If you do the things, you'll be able to have good teeth for yourwhole life. That’s one success that even George Washington didn't have!

保護(hù)牙齒
喬治·華盛頓在他的一生中取得很多成功(success)，但他卻沒有成功(succeed)保養(yǎng)好自己的牙齒！那時很多人的牙齒都脫落了。但現(xiàn)代人知道如何保護(hù)(protect)牙齒。
最重要的事是刷牙。讓牙齒保持清潔，你就不會害牙疼(toothache)或得其他牙病。
另一件重要的事是正確飲食。例如，牛奶和奶酪(cheese)可以提供鈣，牙齒要堅(jiān)硬需要鈣。水果和蔬菜(vegetable)提供的維A和維D也對牙齒有幫助。另一方面，甜的(sweet)食物對牙齒有害。
因此，要刷牙、正確飲食。要保護(hù)牙齒，這些是你應(yīng)做的基本的(basic)事情。如果你這樣做，你的一生(your whole life)都會擁有好牙齒，那可是喬治·華盛頓都沒有獲得的成功哦！
三十八. American classroom Rules (1)
If the teacher asks a question, you should give an answer. If you do not understand the question, you should raise your hand and ask the teacher to repeat the question.If you do not know the answer, it is all right to tell the teacher that you do not know.Then the teacher knows what you need to learn.
There is no excuse for not doing your homework. If you are absent, you should call your teacher or someone who is in your class and ask for the homework. It is yourduty to find out what homework you have missed. It is not the teacher's duty to tell you the missing homework.
You must not be absent on a test day. Serious illness is the only reason for missing a test.
Be on time! It is considered not polite to be late. Also, it disturbs other classmates. If you must come in late, be sure to do it quietly. In the U. S it is not necessary to knock before you enter the classroom. Most of the teachers will give you a low grade if you are often late.

It is considered impolite in the U.S. to eat, drink or chew gum(嚼口香糖) during class.Also, taking off one's shoes in the classroom is not polite.
If you must leave during class, do so quietly. There is no need to tell the teacher.
