A person who is filled with his own importance and pride is said to have “his nose in the air.”Often the person who has a big head and his nose in the air has no reason to feel better than others.
Americans use another expression that is similar in some ways to down to earth---“both feet on the ground.” Someone with both feet on the ground is a person with a good understanding of reality.She has what is called “common sense.” She does not allow her dreams to block her understanding of what is real.
The opposite kind of person is one who has his “head in the clouds.” Someone with his head in the clouds is a person whose mind is not on what is happening in real life.Such a person may be called a “daydreamen.”
The person who is down to earth usually has both feet on the ground.But the opposite is not always true.Someone with both feet on the ground may not be as open and easy to deal with as someone who is down to earth.
When we have both our feet firmly on the ground,and when we are down to earth,we do not have our noses in the air.We act honestly and openly to others.And our lives are like the ground below up—solid and strong.

History really seems to matter here.Buttons first appeared only on the clothes of the rich in the l7th century,when rich women were dressed by servants.For the mostly right-handed servants,having women’s shirts button from the left would be easier.On the other hand,having men’s shirts button from the fight made sense,too.Most men dressed themselves,and a sword drawn from the left with the right hand would be less likely to get caught in the shirt.
Today women are seldom dressed by servants,but buttoning from the left is still the standard for them.Is it interesting? Actually,a standard,once set,resists change.At a time when all women’s shirts buttoned from the left,it would have been risky for any single manufacturer to offer women’s shirts that buttoned from the right.After all,women had grown so used to shirts which buttoned from the left and would have to develop new habits and skills to switch.Besides,some women might have found it socially awkward to appear in public wearing shirts that buttoned from the fight,since anyone who noticed that would believe they were wearing men’s shirts.

The American 23 , Washington Irving, wrote in 1819 about the old-fashioned Christmas he experienced in England. He was taken in a stagecoach (驿站马车) full of happy people, food and presents, to an old house in the 24 . There, he found a crowd of happy farmers, lots of food and drinks, snow, games and ghosts.
The first Christmas card, which was printed in England, showed people eating and drinking 25 . It was sent in 1846, but Christmas cards did not become really 26 until the 1860s, when color printing became possible.
