s own term: dooring. According to a study in Chicago, as many as 1 in 5 bike accidents are caused by car doors—in total, there is nearly one dooring each day in the Windy City (Chicago). Even when the bike riders try to turn to the other direction to escape from the opening doors, they can end up getting hit by cars. Then how can we reduce such kind of accidents? Is there any practical way to solve that problem? Yes. It39。s the Dutch Reach, which has been popular on the Internet recently. The Dutch Reach is a practice where instead of using your near hand—usually the driver39。s left hand—to open your car door, you use your far hand—your right hand. By doing that, you will turn your body around. And you turn your head and shoulders back, so you are looking directly out. First, pass the rearview mirror. And then, you are very easily able to look back and see if there are ing bicycles or cars or anything else. The simplicity of the approach is part of its intelligence. (1)What is dooring?

When you are in different countries, you should follow their customs. In China, it39。s impolite to talk when eating dinner. And you39。re not supposed to start eating first if there are older people at the table. Very often people who travel to the United States forget to tip(付小費(fèi)). It is usual to tip waiters, taxi drivers and porters who help carry your bags. Waiters expect to get a 15% tip on the cost of your meal. Taxi drivers expect about the same amount. In England, make sure to stand in line even if there are only two of you. It39。s important to respect(尊重)lines there. It39。s a good idea to talk about the weather. It39。s a favorite subject of conversation with the British. In Spain(西班牙), it39。s a good idea to have a light meal in the afternoon if someone invites you for dinner. People have dinner very late, and restaurants do not generally open until after 9:00 p. m. In Saudi Arabia(沙特阿拉伯), men kiss one another on the cheek. Your host may wele you with a kiss on both cheeks. It is polite of you to do the same. In Japan, people usually give personal or business cards to each other when they meet for the first time. When a person gives you a card, don39。t put it into your pocket(口袋)as soon as you get it. The person expects you to read it. Don39。t forget to be careful about your body language to express something in conversations. A kind of body language that is acceptable in one culture may be impolite in another.
