9 . John, aged 50, woke up late this Sunday morning. He had spent the night reading, and now his glasses were gone, which made him upset. He put on some clothes and started his search in the bedroom. The room was a bit of a mess with clothes thrown around. He checked under the bed, but his glasses were not there.
Next, he went to the hallway, hoping he might have left them there. But after looking on the small table and the shelf, he still did not find them. John then headed to the living room where his bookshelf was filled with his favorite reads. He thought he might have left his glasses there last night. But after checking each shelf, all he could find was an old watch. Feeling a bit hungry, John walked to the kitchen. He moved a pile of yesterday’s newspapers and looked behind the fruit bowl, but his glasses were not there either. The counters were clean, and there was no sign of his glasses. With each room he checked, John grew more puzzled about where his glasses could be.
John had one last place to search — the garage (车库). It was full of old boxes, tools and old furniture. He started searching on the dust y dresser where he usually put things he didn’t use often. Among some keys and loose change, there was no trace of his glasses. He sighed and left the garage, feeling defeated.
He decided to sit down on the couch and think about where else he could look. As he rested his head in his hands, something slid down the front of his face. To his embarrassment, John realized his glasses had been on his head the whole time. All those hours spent searching through the house, they were right above his eyes! With a laugh, John stood up, put his glasses on and went to make a nice cup of coffee, relieved the search was over.

10 . Teenagers across the world eagerly await the day they become legal adults, to be free from the dependence of their parents and to practice the full rights of their citizenship. The situation is no different in South Korea. Here, the legal age of adulthood is 19. Ten years ago, the legal age was 20, but this was lowered by a year in 2013 based on recognition of the early maturity of modern teenagers. Now, from their 19th birthday onwards, South Korean teenagers can vote, get married and work full-time.
Unlike most other countries, the South Korean government celebrates this transformation into adulthood with an official “Coming-of-Age Day”, which falls on every third Monday of May. Its first written record of celebrating adulthood dates back to the Goryeo Dynasty, where King Gwangjong gifted Prince Wang Juan outfit (服装) reserved for male adults in 965.
By the late Joseon Dynasty, the ceremony marking adulthood developed into a full-grown event for the middle and upper classes, celebrated by their 15-year-olds. In this period, one of the most symbolic changes that adults-to-be went through was that boys would tie their long flowing (飘逸的) hair into a topknot (结) and cover it with at all black hat made of horsehair; likewise, girls put their hair, which they let fall as single braids (辫子) in youth, up into a knot and set it with a long hairpin (发簪).
Today, the traditional coming-of-age ceremonies still live on, supported largely by government and public interests. But a set of very different customs has also been added. Unless they apply to participate in publicly-held ceremonies or attend schools that provide these series, 19-year-olds celebrate the third Monday of May the modern way, by having a nice meal with family or drinking with their friends.
