While we were writing the invitations, my mum came in and asked, "Why not invite John?" John had been in our class for only a few months, but he was already getting better grades in math than anyone else in class. I wrinkled (皱起)my nose, "Mum, he wears the same pants to school every day. How could he even afford a costume?" Mum said nothing. The next day. Mum gave me an envelope with a shopping certificate (凭证)in it. "I thought it would be nice for you to give this to John." Mum said. But how? We didn’t want to make John embarrassed. We discussed it for a long time. Finally ,Betty and I had a good idea.
On the day of our party, kids arrived, dressed differently. John arrived, in an old sheet (床单),but still in the same brown pants as usual. We danced, ate snacks and played games in groups. Before eating the birthday cake, Betty said in a loud voice, "Now it s time for the great prize game. It's the following riddle..." It was a math game. None of us was surprised when John came up with the right answer first and walked off with the envelope.
Everything went on well as we planned. John wore a new pair of pants and a new shirt the next week. He felt happy. So did we.
When we help others, we need to find a proper way, or we may hurt them in another way.

Everyone needs friends. There’s an old saying, “Friends are God’s way of taking care of us.” How do you find real friendship and keep it?
The American writer Sally Seaman tells young students some smart ways to find friends. Sally says finding friendship is just like planting a tree. You plant the seed and take care of it to make it grow.
What makes a good friend? It’s not because a person has money or good looks. A good friend should be kind and patient. For example, if you have a bad day, a good friend should listen to your complaints (抱怨) and do his or her best to help you.
But things can’t always be happy. Even the best friends have fights. What should you do when you have a fight with your friend? You have to talk to him or her .
The following steps can make you be friends again: say sorry to him or her; tell him or her how you are feeling; explain why you did this or that.
Remember that friendship is the most important thing in your life.

Amada is an American filmmaker and actress. She came to China three years ago to study performance at Beijing Film Academy. Lat month, she moved to Japan to study Economics at the University of Tokyo. On June 10th, she returned to the USA. She chatted with her parents about the culture differences between the two countries.
“The people in both countries are very friendly to foreigners. But they have different cultures. For example, when I spoke Chinese in China, the people always showed surprise on their faces. But when I came to Japan, I found it was opposite. Most local people there hoped I could talk with them in Japanese, though I was not good at it,” she said.
Amanda thought this might have something to do with the fact that Western group in Japan is older than the one in China. They have stayed in Japan for a long time. And most of them speak Japanese well. But Westerners in China are still quite a new group. They are usually treated as guests and tourists.
| In Japan | In China |
Time Amanda spent | About one month | About 46 years |
Subjects Amanda 47 | Economics | Performance |
Different cultures | The Japanese expected the westerns to speak 49 . | The Chinese felt 48 when she spoke Chinese |
The reason of the culture difference | The western group in China is 50 than the one in Japan. |
