48、m (平台) where nearly anyone can trade practically anything. People can sell and buy all kinds of products and goods, including cars, movies and DVDs, sporting goods, travel tickets, musical instruments, clothes and shoes-the list goes on and on.The idea came from Peter Omidyar, who was born in Paris

Teachers place a lot of importanc

56、e on the qualities that make each student special. The educational systems in these countries show these values. Students do not memorize information. Instead, they work individually and find answers themselves. There is often discussion in the classroom. At an early age, students learn to form thei

57、r own ideas and opinions.In most Asian societies, by contrast (对比), the people have the same language, history, and culture.
