Why hug?
In the West, people hug for many different reasons. Family and friends sometimes hug just to show the other person they care. They may hug a loved one that they haven't seen for a while. Or hug someone who will be leaving for a long period of time.
Hugs are also given to comfort someone who is sad or to congratulate someone who has good news.
Some of my Chinese friends think all Westerners love to hug. But some Western cultures encourage hugging more than others. The French, for example, are some of the most affectionate people in the world. Researchers have observed that the French touch each other more than 100times during a 30-minute conversation. Americans, however, typically only touch each other twice during the same time period.
Italians and Greeks are known for giving lots of hugs. But British people, like Americans, tend to be a little more reserved about hugging.
Hope for non-huggers
If you live in a culture that doesn't hug, don't despair. Hugging is a behavior that can be learned over time. Take Americans, for example. In the past, many American families refrained from hugging. But over the last 20 years, American society has become more open to the idea. Now, nine out of 10 Americans say they use hugs to show love.
Similarly, Chinese people have started to accept the idea of hugging. Mary, one of my Chinese friends from Taipei, recently told me her story about hugging.
Mary learned about hugging when she' studied abroad 20 years ago. Before that, her traditional Chinese family never hugged. But when she returned from overseas, her parents enjoyed it when she started giving them hugs.
During her last visit home, she was in a hurry to leave. As she was leaving, her 80-year-old mother called out to her. “Don’t go yet; you forgot something,” her mother said. Mary turned around and saw her mother with her arms opened wide. Mary went over and gave her an enormous hug.

Einstein and the little girl
One afternoon, Einstein was walking home from work. At the same time, a 12-year-old girl was walking home from school. They were soon walking side by side. The girl looked at him curiously from time to time.
“Pardon me,” the girl said, “but you look just like Albert Einstein.”
“That’s because I am Albert Einstein!” Einstein said.
“I don’t believe you,”the girl said. “Everyone knows that Einstein is a genius. But you’re wearing your sweater backwards, so you can’t be very clever.”
Einstein began to laugh. “You’re the first person to be so honest with me,” he said to the girl.
“It’s a pleasure to hear someone tell me the truth about my look.”
After that day, the girl often went to visit Einstein’s house after school. One afternoon, the girl’s mother went to visit Einstein. She asked him why he spent so much time with her daughter.
“Our friendship is easy to explain,” Einstein said. “Your daughter tells me the truth about my look and brings me cookies. In return, I help her with her Maths homework.”

【推荐2】THE STORY OF LITTLE GAUSS
One afternoon, some boys made a lot of noise in class. The teacher got angry. He kept them in the classroom after school. He told them to add all the numbers from 1 to 100 together.
The boys took out their exercise-books. All of them began to write the numbers down except one boy. He was new in the school. He looked out of the window for a few minutes. Then he wrote a number in his exercise-book and put up his hand.
“May I go home, sir?” he asked. “I know the answer now.”
The teacher and the other boys were very surprised.
“Bring it here,” said the teacher.
The boy took it to the teacher. The answer was right, so the teacher had to let the boy go home.
The next morning, the teacher asked the boy, “How did you find the answer so quickly?”
“Well, sir,” he said, “I didn’t want to stay here long. So I tried my best to find the answer quickly. Soon I found it. You see, if you add 100 to 1, you get 101, and 99 and 2 is 101. 98 and 3 is 101 too, and when you reach 51 and 50, you have 101 fifty times. That is ① .”

【推荐3】Life has changed quickly since COVID-19(2019冠状病毒病)broke out worldwide. Many people find themselves isolated(隔绝的)at home, bored and lonely. But if we look at history, there are many great people who produced their best work when they were alone.
Albert Einstein, Isaac Newton, and James Clerk Maxwell, three of the greatest physicists in history, worked by themselves most of the time. They learned from others not by working with them directly, but by reading their papers and books.
American philosopher(哲学家)Henry Thoreau is another example. In 1845, he built a cabin (木屋)in the woods and lived there in solitude(孤独)for two years. Isolation led to his book Walden, which is about nature, simplicity(质朴)and beauty. As he wrote: “I never found the companion(陪伴)that was so companionable as solitude.[It allows you to] be a Columbus to whole new continents(大陆)and worlds within you, opening new channels, not of trade, but of thought.”
One advantage of staying alone, as we may all find, is the lack(缺少)of distractions(干扰). In daily life, when we need to focus, even small talk can throw us off course. Therefore, choosing to isolate yourself from time to time can improve your productivity greatly. What’s more, our sensitivity(敏感)to criticism(批评)from others can stop our progress. We are better at expressing ourselves and thinking freely on our own.
According to Barbara Ess, an American photographer, isolation also forces us to pay attention to the details of life and surroundings(周围环境)that we wouldn’t normally see. This special experience helps us think more deeply about ourselves and our environment, which leads to even greater creativity.
