| You want to know about my staying in America, right? Well, to tell you the truth, it is really an eye-opening experience study here. In China, I had English classes five times a week since fifth grade. However, I didn't know how different textbook English could be from everyday English until I came to Hotchkiss School, Conmecticut. When I first studied English, I was told to say,"I am fine." when people say "How are you?" But in the US, I found that people say, "I am good." or "I'm tired." One day, someone greeted me with "What's up?" It made me confused. I thought for a moment and then smiled because I didn't know what to say. Since then, I have discovered more and more differences between Chinese and US cultures. To my surprise, US girls spend a lot of time in the burning sun to get a tan. However, in China, girls try every possible way to get their skin paler, or "whiter." I also surprised by how hard-working.US students are. In China, schoolwork is almost everything, so we study hard and that' it. But here, a "good" student gets good grades, does a lot for the public and plays sports or music. The kids here are so talented, I am starting to be sorry that I gave up playing the piano at an early age and that I have never thought about sports. |

| People often say that the Englishman's home is his castle. They mean that the home is very important and personal to him. Most people in Britain live in houses rather than flats, and many people own their homes. This means that they can make them individual (个体的); they can paint them, and change them in any way they like. Most house have a garden, even if it is a very small one, and the garden is usually loved. The house and the garden are the private (私人的) space of the individual. People usually like to mark their space. Are you sitting now in your home or on a train? Have you marked the space around yourself as your? If you are on the train you may put your coat or small bag on the seat beside you. If you share a flat you may have one corner or chair which is your own. Once I was travelling on a train to London. I was in a section for four people and there was a table between us.The man on the space on my side of the table at all. I was angry. Maybe he thought that he owned the whole table. I had read a book about non-verbal communication, so I took various papers out of my bag and put them on his briefcase! When I did this he stiffened and his eyes nearly popped (瞪出) out of his head. I had invaded (侵犯) his space! A few minutes later I took my papers off his case in order to read them. He immediately moved his case to his side of the table. Of course, it is possible that he just wanted to be helpful to me! If you are visiting another country you may feel that you don't have any private space. Hotel rooms look much the same in every country in the world. All day long,you share public spaces with o their people. You see the local people in their private spaces and you feel lonely and "outside". Local people can create their private spaces by talking about things you don't know about.And you even feel that they like you to be outside them so that they will enjoy being inside even more! This is one of the difficulties of being a traveler! But if you understand it then it helps you.Haven't you enjoyed being part of a group and "owning" a bit of space? |

| When I was a foreign teacher in China, every day I taught English to my students and they taught me about China. One day the topic turned to saying "I love you". I was shocked to learn that not one of my students had said this to their mothers, nor had their mothers said it to them."Does your mom love you?" "Of course," they answered. "How do you know?" was my logical question. They responded that their moms cooked and always told them what they were doing wrong to show their caring. I was stunned.So mom's cooking and criticizing read out as "I love you". "Then how do you say 'I love you' to her?" They agreed that getting good grades, followed by god jobs would be how they showed their love. I come from a culture where most people are expressive enough, so I repeated these queries in classes over time. Gradually, I began to get different response. Some of them had exchanged those sentiments with their moms. One of my favorite stories of change came from a girl. When she came home from university, her mother met her at the door and hugged (拥抱) her. This had never happened before, but her mom said, "Now that you have gone I have more time to myself. I noticed that in some places mothers and children hug each other and I decided it was a good idea and that I would begin hugging you." In my family we all say "I love you" a lot. While it is true that we often say the words without having great depth of feelings at that moment, it is almost like a blessing we give each other. Those three little words carry a world of meaning, even when said as a greeting, but most especially if they are the last words we say to or hear from those we love. |

She doesn't remember over watching it in the morning or afternoon. When I was young we had only about 3 or 4 different channels.

| How important is your appearance? Although everyone want to be good-looking, are beautiful people always happier people? For example, it must be a problem to be a really beautiful woman, because some people may be more interested in looking at you than talking to you. They think of you as a picture rather than a person. There are also some people who think that women who are exceptionally (格外地) pretty and men who are particularly handsome must be stupid. They believe that only unattractive (无魅力的) people can be intelligent. On the other hand, no one wants to be really ugly, and have a face that even your mother doesn't want to look at and no one wants to be plain, either-that is, to be neither attractive nor unattractive, and have a face that is easily forgotten. Being attractive is like being rich it can help you find happiness, but it doesn't always make you happy. So maybe the best thing is not to worry too much about how you look, but simply try to be a interesting person. For interesting people have interesting faces, and interesting faces are almost always attractive. ( )1. Everyone wants to be attractive. ( )2. No on likes to talk to a very pretty woman. ( )3. Some people think that handsome men are unintelligent. ( )4. A plain face is easily forgotten. ( )5. Not many interesting people are also attractive. |

| It's not easy to be an astronaut's son. Everybody expects you to be special or perfect. I often wonder how my father ever had a son like me. I mean he's so special and so good at everything he does. Even in middle school he was class president and captain of the football team. Well, to be honest, I often dream about being some kind of hero or doing something special-like saving a child from a burning building or discovering a new star. I was daydreaming at school one morning, when my teacher said there would be a Father's Day writing competition for the whole school. "I hope we have a winner right here in my class." When I got home, I started to think about what to write. My father is an astronaut. N0, I wouldn't start like that. That was the way others saw him. How did I see my father? Hmm. I saw him sitting with me in the dark when I had a terrible dream. I remembered how he hugged me for hours when my dog Spotty was killed by a car. Yes, these were the things I was going to write. To me, he wasn't just a world-famous astronaut. He was my dad. My parents and I went to school Thursday night. There were so many people in the big hall! My dad looked at me, and I shrugged (耸肩). The third prize was announced and it was not me. I was relieved (释然) and disappointed at the same time. The second prize was announced. It was me. I went up to the stage and read what I had written, "My father's son". When I finished, the people stood up and cheered. I saw my father blowing his nose. Tears were running down my mother's face. Dad cleared his throat and put his hand on my shoulder. "Son, this is the proudest moment of my life.'' It was the proudest moment of my life, too. Maybe I'll never be a great hero or win a Nobel Prize, but it was enough just to be my father's son. |

| Feeling left out? A reader wrote in to say that she was feeling lonely at break because her best friend Wasn't around. Here's our advice to her-and to all kids who feel lonely sometimes. It's hard when a best friend isn't around-maybe because she moved to a different school or a different class. You may feel lonely at break or lunchtime. You want to have new friends. but how do you make them? Maybe it seems like everybody else already has their friends. But remember, there's always room for more friends. Start by looking around your classroom-think about which kids you'd like to play with at break. Look for chances to say hi to them, smile, and be friendly. Offer to share something or express your appreciation (欣赏) to them. Invite someone to play with you or say "Do you want to sit here?" in the lunchroom. When you're at break,walk over to kids you want to play with act friendly, and say " Hi, can l play, too?" or just join in. If you have trouble doing this or if you're feeling shy, ask your teacher to help you make new friends. Teachers are usually pretty good at matching up friends. The best way to make friends is to be a friend. Be kind, be friendly, share, say nice things, offer to help-and pretty soon, you'll have one, or two, or even more new friends. You might still miss that special best friend. But when you see each other, you can share something you didn't have before she left: You can introduce her to your new friends! |

| "Who needs a shopping mall (购物中心) if you have Taobao?" says Wang Lin, 28, a writer in Beijing. Taobao, China's largest online shopping site (网上购物网站), has become an important part of Wang Lin's life. She spends lots of money on Taobao.

Taobao means "looking for treasure" in Chinese. People can find almost everything they need on Taobao, from clothes to books, from candies to DVD players. You may question the security of online shopping, Wang Lin said, "It's very safe and convenient ( 便利的).

| America is a mobile society. Friendships between Americans can be close and real, yet disappear soon. They don't feel hurt. If the same two people meet again, even years later, they pick up the friendship. This can be quite difficult for us Chinese to understand. Friendships between us develop more slowly but may become lifelong feelings, extending (延伸) deeply into both families. There is another difficult point for us to understand.Although Americans treat friends warmly in their personal everyday lives, they don't show their politeness to them if it requires a great deal of time. But in China, we are usually generous with our time. We, as hosts, will appear at an airport even in the middle of the night to meet a friend. We may take day off from our work to act as guides to our friends: It is opposite in America, Americans can not manage the time to do a great deal with a visitor outside their daily plans. They will probably expect the visitors to get themselves from the airport to the hotels. And they expect the visitors will phone them from there. Once the visitors arrive at their homes, the welcome will be full, warm and real. For Americans, it is often considered more friendly to invite a friend to their homes than to restaurants, except for business matters. Americans are ready to receive us foreigners at their homes, share their holidays, and their home life. So accept their hospitality (好客) at home and enjoy your visit in America! |

| A mascot (吉祥物) is very important to an event. Do you know what the mascot of Shanghai World Expo 2010 is? Well, it is haibao. It can be seen almost everywhere in China now. The inspiration of the design comes from a Chinese word "ren" which means people in English. It really looks like a man putting up his hands and saying hello to everyone. The name, Haibao, comes from the Chinese phrase "Si Hai Zhi Bao". "Hai" means the sea in English, and it also implies (隐含) that it was born in Shanghai. "Bao" is a lucky name in Chinese traditional culture. The name not only means the treasure (宝藏) of the sea, but also means the treasure of Shanghai. Every part of Haibao's body has its special meaning. For example, Haibao's hair is like the wave of the sea. Its smiling face shows its friendliness.

| Most people want to be happy, but few know how to find happiness. Money and success alone do not bring lasting happiness. Aristotle, a Greek thinker, said, "Happiness depends upon ourselves." In other words, we make our own happiness. Here are a few suggestions to help you be happier. The first secret of happiness is to enjoy the simple things in life. Too often, we spend so much time thinking about the future -for example, getting into college or getting a good job -that we fail to enjoy the present. You should enjoy life's simple pleasures, such as reading a good book, listening to your favorite music, or spending time with close friends. People who have several close friends often live happier and healthier lives. Another secret to living a happy life is to be active, and have hobbies where you forget your problems and time. Many people experience this dancing, or playing a sport, such as swimming. You can forget about your problems, and only think about the activity. Finally, many people find happiness in helping others. Studies show that people feel good when they spend their time helping others. If you want to feel happier, do good things for someone. You can help a friend with his or her studies, go shopping to buy food for an elderly person, or simply help out around the house by washing the dishes. |

| James is a good student and he has lots of friends, but he also has a problem. Some older boys are bullying (欺负) him at school. James is very unhappy and he doesn't know what to do about it. Here are some suggestions to him and other teenagers in this situation. Don't feel worried. It's not your fault (过错)! Being bullied can make you feel very lonely and angry, but you are not alone. Don't feel that you have to hide the problem. You should find a person you can trust, and tell them. It might be your teacher, your parents, or even your friend's parents. After you tell someone, you will get some support and feel some relief (解脱). Speaking to an adult might make you nervous, but here are other things you can do. Some people express their feelings more easily on paper. Write a letter to someone or keep a diary.

Fast food is also very popular- 30% of all adults have a hamburger every three months, but 46% have fish and chips! Sports British people don't do a lot of sports. Only 17% of people go swimming every week, about 9% go cycling and 8% play golf-and only 6% of people play football ( but 32% go to watch it ). Cinema and TV Films are very popular in Britain, and about 60% of people between 15 and 24 go to the cinema every month. At home, men watch TV for about three hours every day - two quarters more than women. Holidays British people love going on holiday, and have 56 million holidays every year. Most of these holidays aren't in the UK-27% are in Spain, 10% are in the USA, and 9% are in France. Maybe this is because the weather in Britain isn't very good! |

| What's the most important thing for you to have in your life? Some boy mentions hard-work, others suggest knowledge, love and luck. If you arrange the 26 English letters alphabetically (按字母表的顺序) and use numbers to represent each of them, for example, 1 for a, 2 for b, 3 for c…, you can change an English word into a number. So hard-work becomes 8+1+18+4+23+15+18+11=98, meaning 98 is its mark; knowledge: 11+14+15+ 23+12+5+4+7+5=96, while love: 12+15+22+5=54, and luck: 12+21+3+11=47, a small mark. None of these words can give one a full mark. What about money or prayer (祈祷)? They can’t, either. Then what else? Don’t be worried. You can always find an answer to a problem in your life, when you change your way of looking at things or doing things, or your attitude (态度). Yes, attitude is the word. See for yourself: attitude: 1+20+20+9+20+21+4+5=100, full mark. Different attitudes lead to different courses of life. Most times people hope for a better life. It is possible that one will have a change for the better after one has changed one's attitude. When you change your manner and became friendly towards others, you’ll meet more smiling faces towards you. In the same way, if you take a positive (积极地) attitude towards failure (失败), you’ll find it’s also rewarding though it has caused you losses. |

| "When can I get a cell phone?" The answer is when your parents think you need one, though many kids seem to be getting them around age 12 or 13. Some younger kids may have them because their parents see it as a matter of safety and convenience. For example, a kid can call mom and dad when sports practice is over. And a cell phone can give kids almost instant access (快捷通道) to their parents if something goes wrong or they need help. It can give parents quick access to their kids so they can check on them and make sure they're OK. If you do get a cell phone, make some rules with your parents, such as how many minutes you're allowed to spend on the phone, when you can use your phone, when the phone must be turned off, and what you will do if someone calls you too often, and so on. You'll also have to learn to take care of the phone in your life. Keep it charged (充电) and store it in the safe place so it doesn't get lost. And whatever you do, don't use it in the bathroom. I know someone who dropped her phone in the toilet! |

| Every morning, the newspaper chief editor (主编) holds a meeting with the reporters. They discuss the main events(事件) of the day. Reporters are then sent to cover the events. As soon as the reporters know what to write about, they get down to work. They telephone people and fix a time for a face-to-face interview with them. Sometimes they do telephone interviews. Checking information is very important. They go to the newspaper's own library to look up any information that they need. This is called "doing one's homework". At the same time, the picture editor decides which photographs will be used for the next day's paper. All the people who work on a newspaper must be able to work fast. Reporters have to stop working on one story and start working at once on the important new one. They must find out the new information as quickly as possible. Later in the day, everything is put together at the news desk. Reporters return, type their stories into the computer and hand them to the editor. The chief editor decides which will be the most important story on the front page. Sometimes this will have to be changed if something more important happens late in the day. Other editors read the stories which the reporters have written and make any necessary changes. Finally, there is no more time left for adding new stories, and the time for printing (印刷) the newspaper has come. This is done on fast-moving printing machines. The newspapers are then delivered (发送) by truck, plane or rail. Speed is important. People want to buy the latest newspaper, nobody wants to buy yesterday's. |

| Prana was a beautiful dog, whose name means "breath of life". Although he died several years ago, I can still remember the days we spent together and what he has taught me about love. I have two apple trees in the garden. Prana loved apples. When he went outside, he'd catch an apple and take it into the house to eat later. The apples had been on the ground and were often dirty so I wasn't always happy that Prana had brought them into the house. It was an autumn day in America, but it was very cold. A big snow fell and we had not done anything for its coming. On that special day, Prana went outside and I watched him through the window. I noticed that he was madly digging (挖) holes and bringing the apples to the ground so they could be seen above the snow. I did not know why he was doing this. He seemed to want to do something special. When I called him back, he had his usual one apple in his mouth. About five minutes later, I looked outside. The garden was completely covered with birds. Prana had dug up all those apples for his bird friends to eat. He knew that they wouldn't have stored enough food for the coming winter! |

| Reader's Digest is a monthly magazine. Before the 1980s, it belonged to a privatelyheld company, which was started in 1922 by Lila Bell Wallace and Dewitt Wallace.

Its global circulation outside the USA has reached 40 million people throughout more than 70 countries in 21 languages.

They hope this magazine can give readers something that is about special personal experiences, something the readers can share with their families. In different countries, this magazine provides a window to the world for the local readers. Some parts of the magazine are about the local customs and interests of the local readers. The other parts give the local readers information from all over the world. This magazine actually used to be a family business until the Wallaces died in the 1980s.

| 1 The family planning policy (“计划生育” 政策) was introduced in 1979 to solve the population problems. Most couples could have only one child except some special families and those in some special areas. 2 Usually, all around good student, which was called "thrice good", was given to the students who were virtuous (品德高尚的), talented and good at PE. It was firstly used in to 1950s by Mao to encourage young people to keep fit, study well and work hard. 3 During the early 1990s, state owned company reforms (国有企业改革) were getting tough. The workers were more than the jobs in most of the cities. Many workers were losing their jobs. "Jobless" was a hot topic at that time, so the leaders hoped the laid off workers could find new jobs or start up their own business. 4 One of Deng’s clever ideas, "one country, two systems", was first performed in 1997. It described Hong Kong and Macao's situation after they returned to China. This policy would also be suitable for Taiwan. There would be one China, but Hong Kong, Macao and Taiwan could have their own economies and political systems. 5 Lei Feng was a soldier who was happy to help others. He died in an accident in 1962. On March 5th, 1963, Mao wrote a piece, "Learn from comrade Lei Feng", to say the Chinese should help others when necessary. After that, March 5th became a Volunteer Day. 6 The phrase "harmonious society" appeared in 2004, referring to a peaceful society where all people would work together to make the life better. This idea has become the main goal of the Chinese Communist Party now. |

| Many years before the United States was founded (建立), Americans had already invented barbecues. But the first barbecues, in fact,were the invention of the Taino Indians of Haiti, who dried their meat on raised frames (架子) of sticks over fires. Spanish explorers spelled the Taino word as barbacoa, and as time passed, English settlers along the Atlantic coat had their own barbecues. One summer day in 1773, Benjamin Lynde, a citizen of Massachusetts, wrote in his diary, "Fair and hot; Browne; hack overset." That is on a bright and hot day he went to the Brownes to attend a barbecue, and his carriage (马车) fell over. It shows that the barbecue had its social occasion by that time. Large animals would be roasted whole on frames over hot fires, and neighbours would be invited to dinner. In later centuries, as settlers moved to the west, the barbecue went along with it, reaching an especially large size in Texas, where a pit (坑) for fuels (燃料) such as tree branches might be over ten feet deep. Today, the barbecue grills (烧烤架) which are fueled by charcoal (木炭) or electricity are likely to be small and easy to move, and can cook only parts of an animal at a time, but people still have barbecues out of doors and always invite their neighbours or friends over. |
