A proverb (谚语) is a short, well known saying that expresses a common truth or belief. Proverbs are found in most cultures and are often very old.
In American history, Benjamin Franklin was a scientist, inventor and writer as well as a leader of the American Revolution. 1.
Franklin wrote a book called “Poor Richard’s Almanac”. 2. Some of them are still used today, like this one, “Early to bed and early to rise makes a man healthy, wealthy and wise.”
Franklin is also remembered for other proverbs like, “A penny saved is a penny earned.” 3.
Here are other examples of proverbs that Americans use. The first ones are about love. Some people say, “All is fair in love and war.” They mean that anything you do in a relationship or in battle is acceptable.
4. In other words, when you are in love with someone, you may refuse to see anything bad about that person.
Here is another popular saying about love, “The way to a man’s heart is through his stomach.” Some people believe that a woman can win a man’s love if she prepares his favorite food.
“5.” This proverb is true in love and war or other situations. It means that what you do is more important than what you say.
We have to stop here, so we must say, “All good things must come to an end.”

A proverb is a simple saying that explains a general rule or feeling. Four people share their favorites:
Sarah /England
My favorite proverb would have to be "Don't judge (判断) a book by its' cover." I think it can be used in many daily situations. Obviously, when you meet new people, you always need to give someone a chance. So, I think that a chance is always good for someone, probably better than judging on first impressions (印象)．
Gareth / England
My favorite proverb is "Hear and I forget; see and I understand; I do and I know." I like it because it means until you actually do something, it's hard to really, truly know it. I believe that a lot of the times when you're learning by hearing, it's very difficult to get that knowledge. When you see something, it gets a little bit better, but when you do something, that's when you really truly know something.
Lindsay / United States
I really like the proverb, "The grass is always greener on the other side." I think that's really true, and I find that it's always like that. I always want what I can't have, and then when I get that, then I find out that it's not as great as I had hoped it would be. So, because of this, I try to always keep that in mind and be happy for what I have.
Warren / Canada
I think "What goes around, comes around " is what comes to mind for me. I think it is really true. Basically, if you do something good, good things will happen to you. And if you do bad things, bad things are going to happen to you, maybe not right away but after a long time.
1.The underlined word "proverb" probably means_______.
2.Who thinks it is important to learn by doing?
A. Sarah. B. Gareth.
C. Lindsay. D. Warren.
3. Jill: My job is so boring. I wish I had my own business, like Katie does.
Jane: Katie probably wishes she had as much spare time as you do.
A. Don't judge a book by its cover.
B. What goes around, comes around.
C. The grass is always greener on the other side.
D. Hear and I forget; see and I understand; I do and I know.

As is well known, saying “no” is not easy at all. But sometimes we have to learn to say “no”. To learn to say “no”, we have to first understand what’s stopping us about it. There are some common reasons why people find it hard to say “no”.
You want to help others. You are a kind soul(灵魂) at heart. You don’t want to turn the person away and you want to help when possible, even if it may take up your time.
Afraid of being rude. I was brought up under the idea that saying “no”, especially to people who are older, is rude. This thinking is common in Asian culture, where face-saving is important. It means not making others look bad or lose faces.
Wanting to be agreeable. At times, you find you are not in agreement. You don’t want to keep yourself away from the group, so you agree to do others’ requests(请求).
Fear of conflict(冲突). The person might be angry if you refuse him. This might lead to an ugly conflict. Even if there isn’t, there might be disagreement which might lead to bad effects(影响) in the future.
Fear of losing opportunities(机会). Sometimes, saying “no” means closing doors or losing opportunities. It may make you feel worried. For example, one of my friends was asked to work in another department(部门) in her company(公司). Since she liked her team, she didn’t want to go. However, she didn’t want to say “ no” as she felt it would affect her promotion(晋升) opportunities in the future.
