The English are famus fr their manners. The phrase, “Manners make the man” was cined by Englishman William f Wykeham back in 1324, but they’re just as imprtant tday. “Finishing schls” still exist t make sure that yung girls becme yung “ladies”.
The best example f English manners is in their mastery f the art f frming a queue. It is a ppular jke in England t say, “if nly queuing was an Olympic sprt, we’d win very easy. ” N ne knws exactly hw and when it started, but queuing plays an imprtant rle there. Schl children are taught t queue fr rll-call（点名）and lunch, and English peple acrss the land frm queues at shps, banks, cinemas and bus-stps every day.
While many ther natins are mre direct in their cmmunicatin, the English prefer a mre indirect frm f asking fr things. Fr example, an American wh wants t talk t a clleague might say, “Gt a minute?”; hwever an English persn will ften use a mre indirect means might f requesting the chat, “Srry t truble yu, but wuld yu pssibly have a minute r s t have a quick chat if yu dn’t mind, please?”
The English als lve t aplgize fr things. As a matter f fact, n ne seems t say “srry” as much as the English: “Srry I’m late. /Srry I frgt t call yu last night. /I’m srry yu didn’t get the e-mail. ” And s n. They als like t use “please” and “thank yu” a lt. In a shp, they will say, “I’d like a packet f crisp, please. Thanks. ” British students thank their teachers, and bsses ften thank their wrkers fr ding their jbs.

There’s mre bad news fr vitamins this week: Turns ut that taking flic acid（维生素B） and vitamin B12 supplements desn’t prevent heart attacks r death, accrding t a majr new study in the Jurnal f the American Medical Assciatin. It was hped they wuld, since the vitamins d reduce levels f hmcysteine, an amin acid（氨基酸） that is higher in the bld f peple wh have a higher risk f heart disease. In fact, hmcysteine was reduced 30 percent after ne year f treatment in the participants wh tk bth vitamins. But in the fllwing three years, just as many vitamin takers died as thse wh didn’t take the vitamins. Even wrse, the study was stpped early because anther similar study suggested that there may be an increased risk f cancer frm taking B vitamins.
