Last Sunday, I went to a shoe repairer (修理者). I asked him to polish my shoes, and he told me I had to pay $2. When he finished polishing, I gave him $3. He took only $2 and told me that was enough (足够), and also learned a big lesson. Now many people want to get much, but he only wants to get what he needs to get.
With the $1, I went and bought a flower from a seller. She was an old woman. I bought the flower just to make her happy for the evening. I thought I was her first buyer that night. I wanted to help her sell out her flowers.

5 . How do you greet your friends? People from different cultures have different answers; shaking hands, nodding, bowing, kissing on the face. But have you ever wondered how animals “say hello” to each other? Here are some examples.
Chimpanzees (黑猩猩)
Everyone knows how similar chimpanzees are to humans. So it’s no surprise that their greetings are also close to ours. The most common ways of greeting between chimpanzees are hand touching and hugging. Sometimes they also kiss each other. Some chimpanzees can even learn simple sign languages.
Giraffes
Giraffes seldom make loud sounds. Their necks can reach two meters in length, making them useful in greeting each other. When two giraffes meet, they may “shake” their necks and rub (摩擦) them against each other. This is to feel how strong and tall the other is.
Dolphins
Dolphins greet one another with whistles (哨声). They can hear other dolphins far from them. Every dolphin has a different whistle. When two groups of dolphins meet, they each choose a member to “talk” to the other group. The two groups can then travel together. Unlike most of the other animals, dolphins are smart enough, to learn a new language by inventing and copying new sounds.

Before you begin, you first need to find out where to have the party. Churches or community centers are often suitable for neighborhood events. If the weather is nice, many people prefer to have the party outside. It could be at a park or on a street that has been closed for you ahead of time.
Next, ask your friends and neighbors to help. Volunteers (志愿者) are important for making sure the party runs smoothly. Get plenty of people to help tell others about the party, set up the party, and clean up after the party. A volunteer can post fliers or pass out cards to people in the neighborhood.
During the party, be sure to have lots of things to do. Many parties feature activities for kids, such as relay race or face painting. At most parties, food and drinks are necessary.
