What makes it so easy for Thai people to smile at their visitors? The head of Thailands tourist bureau

29、 says that it is “in the nature of the people”. The Thai are naturally happy, he says with a smile, and they are glad to share that happiness with others.This attitude seems to be very much appreciated by the more than five million tourists who visit Thailand each year. The country ranks high on the

30、 list of places to which visitors want to return. The reason most often stated is that the people are friendly and courteous (有礼貌的). Some other Asian destinations are not as well received. Hong Kong ranks low, with shopkeepers particularly rated as unfriendly, unhelpful and sometimes rude. Bali in I

31、ndonesia ranks high on the list, with Japan somewhere in the middle.These reports raise the question of whether certain nationalities are naturally more courteous than others. While people may experience more friendliness in Thailand than in Hong Kong, that may have more to do with the place than th

32、e people. Travel writers point out that cities are always stressful, hurried, impersonal places, with little to offer in the ways of smiles and welcome. Bangkok is not as friendly as other places in the surrounding Thai countryside. Remote towns and villages in China, for example, offer visitors a w

33、arm welcome, with smiles and giggles from children. Perhaps it should also be pointed out that visitors themselves make a difference to the courtesy with which they are received.

37、ete with China and other countries children. But how much do the parents themselves need to change? A new book called “Battle Hymn of the Tiger Mother” by Amy Chua has caused a debate about cultural differences in parenting. Ms. Chua is a professor at the Yale Law School in New Haven, Connecticut, a

38、nd a mother of two daughters. She was raised in American Midwest by immigrant Chinese parents. In the Chinese culture, the tiger represents strength and power. In her book, Ms Chua writes about how she demanded excellence from her daughters. Ms Chua told NBC television that she had a clear list of w

39、hat her daughters, Sophia and Louisa, were not permitted to do.Many people criticized Amy Chua. She also admits that her husband, who is not Chinese, sometimes disagreed with her parenting style. But she says that is the way her parents raised her and her three sisters. Ms. Chua makes fun of her own

40、 style of parenting. She says she eased some of the pressure after her younger daughterrebelledand shouted “I hate my life! I hate you!” But she also says American parents often have low expectations of their childrens abilities. One of the biggest differences I see between Western and Chinese paren

41、ts is that Chinese parents assume strength rather than fragility.” Stacy DeBroff, who has written four books on parenting, says: “The stirring of this intense debate has to do with what it means to be a successful parent and what does it mean to be a successful child?” Ms DeBroff says Amy Chuas pare

42、nting style is not limited to Chinese families. She says it represents a traditional way of parenting among immigrants seeking a better future for their children. But she also sees a risk.

46、y, youreyawning with him, though youre not tired. This phenomenon confused scientists for years until a recent study found that people tend to sympathize with fellow humans. Supporting this claim was the discovery that those children who were unable to form normal emotional ties with others did not

47、experience contagions (有感染力的) yawning,which showed that humans communicate regularly without words. Hogo Critchley, a neuroscientist, has conducted an experiment recently, which will prove thathappiness and sadness can spread like the common cold. According to Critchley, our mind and body are in con

48、stant exchange about how were feeling. Emotions are closely linked with states of internal (内部的) responses, he explained. There are also more visible changes in our gesture and facial expressions.

49、ncy to smile when smiled at and there are less obvious changes that reflect emotions of surprise, anger or sadness such as a change in our heart rate and blood pressure. Hugo Critchley further explained, Our bodiessynchronizeand when we like the other person, weeven copy his behavior. Next time you

50、chat with a friend, take note of how youre sitting-its pretty likely that you will be the same. Scientists believe its our way of telling each other that were partners. Through body language, humans give each other very subtle (微妙的) but clear signals that show emotions. So, what lessons can we learn

51、 from this? Spend time with happy people-otherwise your health couldsuffer, said Critchley. When were sad, our body goes into fight or flight mode.
