| Both civilization and culture are
fairly modem words, having come into prominent use during the 19th century by
anthropologists (人类学家), historians, and literary figures. There has been a
strong tendency to use them interchangeably as though they mean the same thing,
but they are not the same. Although modem in their usage, the two words derived from ancient Latin. The word civilization is based on the Latin civis, of a city. Thus civilization, in its most essential meaning, is the ability of people to live together harmoniously in cities, in social groupings. From this definition it would seem that certain insects, such as ants or bees, are also civilized. They live and work together in social groups. So do some microorganisms.

We thank people for big favors, (Q12) such as picking us up as for small things, such as holding a door open for us when we have our arms full of things. Thus we say "thank you" all day long. In general, we thank people for giving us a gift, doing us a favor, offering to help us and so on. Although we thank people for many things, (Q13) excessive expressions of thanks are not necessary. In fact, they make Americans uncomfortable. For instance, if your adviser spends an hour of his time helping you edit a paper you have just writ ten, you will want to say, "Thank you for your help. (Q14) I really appreciate your time." However, that’ s enough. If you keep on mentioning his kindness, (Q15) he might feel uncomfortable and annoyed, and possibly will not be eager to help you again.
