In the past it was often enjoyed by kings and scholars. It is also a pleasant way of saving.The designs on coins tell many stories. The coins of a country often are a record of its history and geography. Some ancient coins tell us all we know about a country or a period of history. They bring us portraits of rulers who would be otherwise (否则) unknown. Coins tell us about the art, religion, dress and hairstyles of people who lived long ago.Your special interests will help you decide the kind of coin collection you would like to have. You may wish to collect the coins of one country or one part of the world. Or you may want your collection to contain coins from all over the world in certain period of time.Some people choose to collect the coins of their own country, while others are interested in ancient Greek and Roman coins that visitors bring back from foreign countries can be the beginning of a collection.Another way to start a collection is to select the best examples of coins now in use. You may be able to collect an interesting series of United States coins with different dates.To get the most enjoyment from your hobby of coin collecting, read as much as you can on the subject. Try to form a group of collector friends. If you have an old or foreign coin, find out where and when it was made, its name and value, and what you could have bought with it when it was in use.There are many ways to arrange coin collections. Some collectors keep their coins in small square (正方形) envelopes. A complete deion (描述) of the coins should be written on the outside of the envelopes. These envelopes are arranged in cardboard boxes.Never clean a coin unless it is caked with dirt. Remove the dirt with soap and warm water. Do not use anything hard. This will damage both the looks and value of the coin.66.

The host or hostess usually waits for all of the guests before serving the food. If someone is late, the food may be spoiled, and so might the host or hostess mood. If you find you will have to be late, call and tell them to start without you.Its even worse to be early! The host or hostess will probably not be ready. If you are early, drive or walk around the block (街区) a few times, or just sit in your car until the right time.Its often important to arrive at a party on time. Some get-togethers, especially formal dinner parties depend on exact arrival times. On the other hand, for open houses, the host or hostess invites guests to arrive and leave between specific times, so you can arrive at any time within the times he or she gives you.Its nice to bring an empty stomach, but its even nicer to bring a small gift. The gift should not cost a lot, or you might embarrass (使人难堪) the host or hostess. Flowers, wine, some pretty soap for the guest bathroom, a box of candy, a bottle of inexpensive but good wine and similar gifts will do fine. Never bring money as a gift.North Americans might kiss a close friend on the cheek in greeting. (But never on the lips - unless they are very, very close!)

And even if he does not become very rich, he wants people to think that he is. That is what keeping up with the Joneses is about. It is the story of someone who tries to look as rich and as successful as his neighbors.The expression was first used in 1913 by a young American by the name of Arthur Momand. He told this story about himself: he began earning $ 125 a week at the age of 23. That was a lot of money in those days. Young Momand was very proud of his riches. He got married and moved with his wife to a very wealthy neighborhood outside New Your City. But just moving there was not enough.
