A young man once went into town and bought himself a pair of trousers. When he got home, he went upstairs to his bedroom and put them on. He found that they were about two inches too long.

He went downstairs to the kitchen. His mother and two sisters were washing up the tea-things there. “The new trousers are too long,” he said. “They need shortening by about two inches. Could one of you do it for me, please?” His mother and sister were busy and none of them said anything.

But as soon as his mother had finished washing up, she went quietly upstairs to her son’s bedroom and shortened the trousers by two inches. She came downstairs without saying anything to her daughters.

Later on, after supper, the elder sister remembered her brother’s trousers. She was a kind-hearted girl, so she went quietly upstairs without saying anything to anyone, and shortened the trousers by two inches.

In England, people can go to the nearby hospital to see a doctor when they are ill. The doctor usually asks about their problems or illness, and then he or she will give them a prescription (处方) for some medicine.

Not all people go to see a doctor when they feel sick. For example, when they only have a cold, they don’t go to see their doctors. They only go to the medicine shop to buy some medicine.

When they are in hospital, their friends or family members can go to see them at a certain time, but they can’t stay long.

Usually people have to pay for the doctors' prescriptions. And the price is the same for any kind of medicine. But when children, students, old people or people without jobs go to see their doctors, they don' t have to pay for their prescriptions.

Gift(礼物) giving is one of the best ways to show our care for friends. But sometimes in China, we must be careful with art of gift giving.

●Never give our friend a clock in China. Because it is a sign of sadness and tears, and it has the same sound as the word "die" in Chinese.

●The Chinese don't have the same lucky numbers as the westerners. For example, 6 is a good one in China. It shows that everything is OK with us. So gifts with NO 6 can bring people happiness. One of the unlucky number is 4. It gives people an idea of bad luck.

●Gift giving is often connected with colours in China. Chinese people like to use the colour red when they have something to celebrate, because they think red means happiness and warmth. So gifts with the colour red are always welcome. However, white and black have something to do with sadness and death (死亡).

As time goes on, the idea is changing and the way of gift giving is also changing. In modern times, people often send short messages or e-mails to their friends as gifts during some important festivals.

Is an earthquake dangerous? Yes, of course. But this doesn't mean you can't do anything about it. If you know what to do in an earthquake, you can be safe.

Keep a cool head. Worry may cause (引起) bad decisions. Don' t follow others blindly(盲目地). Think about what you should do. The first several minutes are important.

When you are indoors during an earthquake, quickly move to a safe place in the room such as under a desk or table. Take care of your head. Stay away from windows.

When you are in a busy room and far away from the door, don't rush to it. You will find too many people trying to escape at the same time. Instead, stay under a desk or table.

Don't use an elevator. You may not get out of it.

Stay in a safe place until you are sure it's OK to leave. Some aftershocks (余震) may follow an earthquake. These are as dangerous as the earthquake.

If you are in debris(废墟), try to free your hands and legs. You may make much noise by hitting (打击) stones. Shouting will make you tired. Try to find some water and food. They are important for you if you aren't found in a short time. Wait patiently for help.
