The lady went home with her mouse-trap, but when she looked in her cupboard, she could not find any cheese in it. She did not want to go back to the shops, because it was very late, so she cut a picture of some cheese out of a magazine and put that in the trap. Surprisingly, the picture of the cheese was quite successful! When the lady came down to the kitchen the next morning, there was a picture of a mouse in the trap beside the picture of the cheese!
Can you guess who has put the picture of a mouse in the trap?

美国人的权利和义务
美国人从小就培养出了权力义务观念。一个人有多大的权力，尽多大的义务。他们是心知肚明的。所以一个美国人在办事的时候，权力范围以外的事，是不会层层请示的。美国的法规铺天盖地，任何人都得依法行事，这就不会出错。即便有上司扣帽子，你也不用怕，因为有法律为你撑腰和主持公道。一件事情无论谁都是一样做，绝不会因人而异。
此外，美国人在去看朋友或有事登门拜访之前，事先会打个电话联系一下，约好见面时间。突然造访会被认为是打扰别人的私生活，是一件很不礼貌的事情。
