I asked my dad if I’d ever made him cry because I couldn’t remember ever seeing him cry. “There was once,” he said. He told me that when I was one year old, he put a pen, a piece of paper money, and a toy in front of me. He wanted to see which one I would pick. It’s a tradition that a lot of Chinese people do when their kids are one year old. According to this tradition, it shows what the kid will value most when they grow up. For example, if the kid takes the pen, ▲ . If the kid takes the money, ▲ . If the kid takes the toy, ▲ .

My father was just doing it out of curiosity (好奇). It was interesting for him to see which one I’d pick anyway. He said that I just sat there and stared at the three things. He sat across from me and waited to see the result. According to him, I moved toward him and he held his breath. Then I pushed everything aside and went right into his arms. He didn’t realize that he was one of the choices. And that was the first and only time I made him cry.

Let’s look at two old but popular inventions we use in our daily life.

Band-Aids (创可贴)

The first Band-Aid was made by American Earle Dickson in 1921. The idea came to him by chance. Dickson’s wife Josephine often cut her fingers in the kitchen. At that time gauze (纱布) and adhesive tape (胶带) didn’t come together. People had to cut them to the right size. Dickson found they were always too big and soon fell off. So he put a piece of gauze on the centre of a piece of tape. This is how he made the first Band-Aid. Later, Dickson’s new invention became very popular all around the world.

Bubble gum (泡泡糖)

Bubble gum was invented by accident. In 1928, American gum company worker Walter E. Diemer played around with new chewing gum recipes. Chewing gum had already been invented more than half a century before then. But Diemer found that the gum he made was easy to blow. He blew a bubble and then saw the possibilities. He took some of his new gum to a shop and it sold out in a single afternoon. Since then, Dubble Bubble—the first brand of bubble gum—has made kids happy all around the world.

Cuba is a country with a lot of islands. It lies in the northern Caribbean Sea（加勒比海）. It is in the south of the U. S， west of Haiti and north of Jamaica. It has a population of 11.43 million.

Cubans are quite friendly to visitors. If you have left a good impression on the family， the host will share everything about his family with you， such as their experiences， hobbies and family plans. Of course， they maybe invite you to take part in their family activities. There is a special custom in the New Year in Cuba. On the night before the New Year， Cubans like to prepare a bowl of clean water for each of them. After the clock strikes the twelfth， everyone takes the bowl of water outside to greet the happiness and wishes of the New Year.

When visiting Cuba， you should prepare yourself for the sweet food of this country well. Even some of them maybe make you feel not good. That is because Cuba can produce more sugar than other countries. Cubans like to drink strong drinks as well as the ice cold beer. While drinking， Cubans talk with guests happily. They dislike eating mutton and seafood. But fruit is their necessary part of a meal. Quite often they drink juice made from fruit.

Cubans think Friday and thirteen are unlucky. And they hate to wear hats， because it means that one of their relatives has died. Every country has its own customs， food， culture and so on. In my opinion， Cuba is really a wonderful place.
