I fell in love with the minister's son in winter when I turned fourteen. He was not Chinese.For Christmas I prayed for the boy, Robert. When I found out that my parents had invited the minister' s family over for Christmas Eve dinner, I cried in panic What would' Robert think of our shabby Chinese Christmas? What would he think of our noisy Chinese relatives who lacked proper American manners?
   On Christmas Eve, my mother created abundant Chinese food.And then they arrived--the minister' s family and all my relatives.Robert greeted hello, and I pretended he was not worthy of existence.
   Dinner threw me deeper into disappointment.My relatives licked(舔)the ends of their chopsticks and reached across the table.Robert and his family waited patiently for a large plate to be passed to them.My relatives murmured with pleasure when my mother brought out the whole steamed fish.Robert made a face.Then my father reached his chopsticks just below the fish eye and picked out the soft meat. "Amy, your favorite," he said, offering me the tender fish cheek.I wanted to disappear.
   At the end of the meal, my father leaned back and burped(打嗝)loudly, thanking my mother for her fine cooking."It's a police Chinese custom to show you are satisfied, "explained my father to our astonished guests.Robert was looking down at his plate with a reddish face.The minister managed to bring up a quiet burp.I was shocked into silence for the rest of the night.
   After everyone had gone, my mother said to me, "You want to be the shame as American girls on the outside. "She handed me an early gift. It was a miniskirt. "But inside you must always be Chinese. You must be proud you are different. Your only shame is to have shame. "
   It was not until years later that I was able to fully appreciate her lesson and the purpose behind her particular menu. For Christmas Eve that year, she had chosen excellent Chinese food.

Would you eat a bacon, lettuce and love apple sandwich? You probably have eaten many of them. Love apple was the name used many years ago for the tomato.
   The tomato is originally an American plant. It was found in South America by early Spanish explorers. The word tomato comes from the native Nahuatl word tomatl. But when it moved north, the plant earned a different name. Remarkably, the settlers in North America thought it was poisonous. They believed that to eat it was surely to die. It was said that deserted suitors would threaten to eat a tomato to cause their coldhearted lovers-regret. Because of this legend, the settlers called the tomato a "love apple." While people enjoyed other native plants such as corn and sweet potatoes, everyone avoided the tomato.
   No one knows who first dared to eat a tomato. Perhaps someone was brave enough, or lovesick enough, to try out the truth of the rumors. Of course, whoever ate this fruit was perfectly safe. No one died from eating a love apple. Still, it was many years before the people fully believed that the tomato was a safe, and even good food. But its use did become common, and the plant was sent across the ocean to become part of many traditional European dishes.

Since April, a new flu named A-H1 Nl(originally called swine flu)has affected over 100,000 people in more than 40 countries. Symptoms of swine flu are similar to those of regular seasonal influenza. People with swine flu often get a fever, headache, cough, sore throat, body aches, vomiting, chills and fatigue. Study has showed, that swine flu is a virus that usually affects pigs but appears to have acquired the ability to pass from person to person, though it' s unclear how easily it can be transmitted this way.
   Usually, the best way to protect yourself contracting it or other infectious diseases is with a dose of common sense: Wash your hands frequently with soap and warm water, cover your coughs and sneezes and stay home from work or school if you feel ill. These guidelines may seem basic, but they' re effective in preventing the spread of infections. Richard Besser, acting director of the U. S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention(CDC), said, "Control of an outbreak of infectious disease is a shared responsibility. It' s important that individuals realize they have a key role to play in reducing their own likelihood of getting infected. "
   If you become sick, stay home for the period of infection, which is typically seven days, although children may be contagious for longer. Once on the mend, don' t return to work or school until at least a day after symptoms have disappeared, Besser said. "Wearing a face mask when out in public isn't warranted(必要)in most cases, "he said. "I know some people feel more comfortable having a mask, and there are certain circumstances where that may be of value, but 1 would rather people really focus on hand-washing, as well as covering coughs and sneezes. \

This October, the interact celebrated its 40th birthday. In the past 40 years, this great invention has changed our lives in many ways, including our shopping habits.
   *A big attraction.
   Not long ago, I became an online shopper. I had heard about online shopping before, but I had no intention of following the trend. It was not until my room bought some cosmetics via the internet and both morn and I tried them and were satisfied with the purchase that I finally decided to register for Taobao, China' s leading e-commerce website. Soon, I found cyberspace to be a shopping paradise. There are a lot of cheap daily necessities such as clothes, books, stationery etc. Lots of choices, lower of prices and great convenience making shopping online a big attraction.
    *A new platform.
   Generally speaking, I'm satisfied with goods I' ve bought online, but it doesn't means that I can fully trust e-shopping. On many BBS forums online shoppers bitterly condemn a few e-shops for selling low-quality goods and cheating them of their money. Since no one likes being cheated, some people have turned to a new platform for e-shopping. They have started to buy and sell goods via social net-working websites--for example, two of my classmates have recently set up an e-store on Renren to sell colored contact lenses. (镜片)There is little risk of being cheated, since the sellers are the people we know well.
   *A good suggestion
   Although there are many advantages of doing business via social networking websites, I think it's improper for high school students to do business with schoolmates.
   First, doing business means shouldering huge responsibilities, and we' re not mature enough to have them. Second, our present main task is studying, when doing business is pretty time-consuming. Third, if you are dissatisfied with what you' ve bought from your friends, what will you do? If you retum your purchases, you may hurt your friends' feelings; if you keep silent, you may not feel happy. Shakespeare once said, "To be or not to be, that' s a question. " If you don' t want to face such problems, please follow suggestion: be careful when shopping online and don' t make profits from friendship.

" They laughed when I sat down at the piano, but when I started to play... ! " These words may be among the most successful in advertising history. Although the ad has not run for many years, the slogan is still remembered. It was written in 1925 for the V. S. School of Music, to sell home music lessons.
   The ad has great appeal. It pictures a handsome man sitting at a piano in front of smiling guests. It tells the story of Jack, who has secretly learned to play the piano through a mail-order course. His friends at a party all scoff when he sits at the keyboard. But as he plays the first notes of Beethoven's "Moonlight Sonata," they all amazed. When he finishes his flawless performance, the listeners shower him with applause and praise.
   Jack tells his friends that he learned to play through the V. S. School of Music. He explains that he was taught through a new method, using no laborious scales and no tiresome practicing. He didn't even have a special talent for music! In the ad, others, too, could increase their popularity and gain happiness.
   The writer of this ad, John Gaples, called this style the "Walter Mitty approach." Walter Mitty is a character in a short story by James Thurber, who daydreams of taking part in great adventures. Although this ad seems old-fashioned now, many people still dream of such easy social success.
