An American magazine wanted to see how hard it would be to put a bomb (炸弹) on an airplane.A reporter put a suitcase on the floor of the airport. Security officers (保安人员)walked by the bag but didn’t stop. Two airplanes arrived and left. A janitor (清洁工) swept the floor around the bag three times. Three people tripped (绊倒) over it. Finally, after three hours, the reporter took his bag away.

The magazine said it would be easy for a terrorist (***分子) to put a bomb on an airplane in America. Suitcases aren’t x-rayed unless you carry them on the airplane. You can put a suitcase on an airplane even you don’t have a ticket for the plane.

Terrorists use plastic bombs the size of a small radio that can blow up (炸毁) an airplane while it’s in the air. The government is building a new $900,000 machine that can find a plastic bomb.

The people who check the bags that Americans carry with them on the plane aren’t paid much money. The magazine asked one of them what would happen if he made a mistake and an airplane exploded (爆炸).

As I was leaving to meet Lynne, my roommate told me that I’d better take some money, but I didn’t listen to him. I thought that Lynne would pay because she had invited me.

I arrived at the restaurant exactly on time. I’d been told that Americans expect you to be on time. Lynne and I sat at a table in the corner of the restaurant and a waitress came and took our order.

The dinner was a great success. I talked a lot about Saudi Arabia and Lynne told me all about herself. After two hours the waitress finally came and asked if we wanted one check or two.Lynne said two. We went to the cashier (收银员) and Lynne paid her check. I was embarrassed (尴尬的) when the cashier gave me my bill. I had no money to pay for my meal. Then I had an idea. I pretended to look for something in my pockets and said,“Oh! I forgot my money! Can I call my roommate, please?”The cashier showed me wherethe phone was and I quickly called my roommate.

In a few minutes he arrived with some money, but he couldn’t hide how he felt. He laughed all the way home.

Now, I think it’s funny too, but at the time I was terribly embarrassed. I thought that an invitation to have dinner meant the same thing in the United States as in my country. I guess you have to understand that your customs are only your customs. When you visit a foreign country, you have to learn about their customs, too.

A.to pay for the meal
