A
Have you ever paid for educational podcasts （播客） or live videos？
Ask some people and most of them will say yes． "Pay﹣for﹣knowledge" has
been more and more fashionable these years． The contents of these" pay﹣for
﹣ knowledge" products are from language learning to gardening or baby﹣
caring． Everything you think of can be found online at this moment． "Pay
﹣for﹣knowledge" is on the rise （兴起）．
Why is "pay﹣for﹣knowledge" industry developing so rapidly？ First，
its development is based on the Internet ． With a fast network and a
smartphone， anyone who has passed the identity （身份）check can be an
online teacher ， and anyone with an online account can buy" pay﹣ for
knowledge" products that he or she wants at an affordable price． Second，
people are afraid to miss any information． On one hand， people hope for
more useful information． On the other hand，such information is usually at
the hands of experts （ 专 家 ） who serve well﹣ known companies and
universities．Moreover，the need to learn new skills in today's job market also
pushes people to learn on such educational podcasts．
The industry of "pay﹣for﹣knowledge" has proved to be lucrative． It
promises possibilities of turning information into money． It is good for the
development of our country and it can help sellers make lots of money．
Besides， buyers can enjoy self﹣growth from it．What's more， this is a
reflection （反映） of respect for knowledge and talents．
However，the rapid development of "pay﹣for knowledge" has a few
problems．For one thing，the market is full of eye﹣ catching words such as
"How to be an Industry's Expert in 5 Hours" and "15 Classes to Be a Master
of Appreciating （欣赏） Classical Music"， which sound like if you pay for
it， you are sure to succeed． For another， a large number of customers
buy them just for showing off． In fact， those who have really had self﹣
growth after buying online courses may be the kind of people who need them
least． In other words， with or without these courses， they can make it
anyway，because they are those who have the ability to learn by themselves．
In general， the best is the one that suits you most．"Pay﹣ for﹣
knowledge" may be used as a good start for self﹣ growth． Be careful!
Otherwise， your dream of success may not come true．

Table manners are how to behave when you eat a meal. Different countries have
different table manners. Now let’s see how to eat in public in the following countries.
Japan
It is okay to make some noises when you eat noodles in Japan. Unlike making big
noises, making some noises is not rude but is a compliment to the chef. The Japanese
also say it tastes better if you make some noises.
What else to watch: It’s important to say “thanks” before and after a meal.
France
In France, a meal is like a ceremony (典礼). People enjoy it and make it a
special event. You should never discuss money or religion (宗教信仰) over dinner,
and going Dutch (各自付账) is not very polite.
What else to watch: You need to finish everything on your plate.
Mexico
In Mexico, whenever you catch the eye of someone who’s eating, even a stranger,
it’s good manners to say “provecho”, which means “enjoy”.
What else to watch: Where you sit matters in this country. Before you get seated,
look for place cards, or wait until the host seats you. And you must say “enjoy your meal”
before you leave the table.
