As we get older there are certain gifts standing out in our memories for a variety of reasons.

One gift I was given and treasured most was a doll named Patsy. She wasn’t originally mine but was my younger sister’s Christmas gift, but on holding Patsy I immediately fell in love with her and couldn’t bear to part with het. Luckily, my sister was quite happy to exchange dolls. From then on Patsy was my baby and I continued to love her dearly and would have died for her.

Another gift I offered my Mom has been shining in my mind. On a Saturday, I was on my way to the local cinema when I happened to glimpse(一瞥) at the window of the gift shop at the corner of our street. There were lovely gloves, pretty flowered handkerchiefs, and rose patterned teacups and saucers, all in pretty boxes. Seeing all these lovely gifts reminded me that it would soon be Mother’s Day and my mother’s birthday. Wouldn’t it be nice, I thought, if I could give my mother something really special, something I’d bought myself? So I stepped inside the shop and admired a dressing table set, which was a green cut glass with ornamental tray(装饰托盘) and several matching pieces. I was sure my mother would love it.

The lady must have seen my disappointment when she told me the price. But she had a suggestion which immediately lifted my spirits. She pulled out a large notebook and wrote my name in it and the gift I wanted to buy, and in return I paid her a penny from my pocket money. It meant no sweets that day but I didn’t care. At the age of nine, I’d made my very first lay-by(分期付款)…and felt like a grown up. From then on, every Saturday I dropped in at the shop on schedule and paid a penny, which the lady dutifully recorded in her notebook.

3 . Money Matters

Parents should help their children understand money.     1    . So you may start talking about money when your child shows an interest in buying things, candy or toys, for example.

● The basic function of money

Begin explaining the basic function of money by showing how people trade money for goods or services. It is important to show your child how money is traded for the things he wants to have.If he wants to have a toy, give him the money and let him hand the money to the cashier(收银员).    2    . When your child grows a bit older and understands the basic function of money, you can start explaining more complex ways of using money.

● Money lessons

Approach money lessons with openness and honesty.     3    . If you must say no to a child’s request to spend money, explain, “You have enough toy trucks for now.” Or, if the request is for many different things, say, “You have to make a choice between this toy and that toy.”

●     4    

Begin at the grocery store. Pick out two similar brands of a product—a kind of name-brand butter and a generic (无商标消费品),for example. You can show your child how to make choices between different brands of a product so that you can save money.     5    . If he chooses the cheaper brand, allow him to make another purchase with the money saved. Later, you may explain how the more expensive choice leaves less money for other purchases.

A．Wise decisions

B．The value of money

C．Permit the child to choose between them

D．Tell your child why he can—or cannot—have certain things

E．Ask yourself what things that cost money are most important to you

F．Talk about how the money bought the thing after you leave the toy store

G．The best time to teach a child something about money is when he shows an interest

6 . On social media, you may see "BM girls", who wear small skirts, tiny T-shirts and skinny jeans. The group is named after the Italian fashion brand Brandy Melville. It says its clothes are “one size fits all”.

However, most clothes the brand provides for girls are in small sizes, according to British newspaper The Sun. The brand’s idea of “one size fits all" has made many girls feel uncomfortable.

"For me, the problem was not the fact that I couldn't purchase your clothes. The root of my frustration is in the humiliation I felt when I realized that ... I just wasn't good enough for the Melville brand," young girl Andy Esmond wrote on the website Odyssey. "I got the message loud and clear: If you don't have an ideal body type, we would rather you not wear our clothing."

Esmond is one of many girls around the world who are dissatisfied with their body shapes. According to a 2018 survey conducted by Youth Select Committee in the UK, 8 in 10 teenage girls in the UK want to change their weight or body shape. Tn China, more than half of teenagers want to lose weight to make themselves look better, according to a 2018 survey by Southern Weekly.

But fashion trends like the Brandy Melville clothing line do nothing to ease the anxiety of negative body image. Instead, they feed it further, noted Coppell Student Media. In order to achieve such an "ideal” image, some girls develop eating disorders. Even worse, this trend may lead to low self-esteem, depression and hopelessness.

“The idealization of thinness can be a key factor in worsening the illness and preventing recovery, and fashion retailers should respect diversity in people's natural body shapes and sizes,“ Beat, the UK's leading eating disorder charity, told Fabulous Digital.

After all, beauty doesn't come in a box, or in one form. Just recognize that we are all different and that is something to be celebrated. In fact, accepting your true self can display a natural beauty that cannot be ignored.

10 . How to Order Coffee at Starbucks

Learning how to order coffee at Starbucks can be tricky, and if you think that ordering coffee at Starbucks is confusing, you are not alone.

    1     Things move quickly as their employees try to serve customers as efficiently as possible. Orders are generally taken at one of the cash registers. You will be asked for your first name, which you should state clearly.     2     Don’t be mad if they spell or read your name incorrectly. People who have unique or hard-to-spell names will sometimes use an easy "Starbucks" name when ordering, like Mike or Amy.

    3     Their names for size are: Tall, Grande, Venti, and Trenta. However, if you order a small, medium, large, or extra-large drink, they will still understand you.

For ordering basic coffee, beyond specifying the size you want, you need to tell the servers whether you want regular or decaffeinated coffee.     4     If you intend to add cream or milk to your coffee, say with room for cream, or simply, with room. If you want a full cup, say no room. Read the list above the counter ahead of time, because they may not ask you which you would like.     5     You will have to wait a bit longer for a new batch (批) to get prepared. Once you you’re your coffee, you will find milk, cream and sweeteners on a nearby counter.

In a word, when you order, say the size you want first, then give the name of the drink, and finally add the special instructions.

A．Starbucks offers all kinds of coffee.

B．Starbucks is often a very busy place.

C．Otherwise, they will assume that you want regular.

D．Sometimes they will write your name in short forms.

E．The ordering process is somehow complicated because they use terms to describe drink size.

F．Finally, if you are very particular about the freshness of your coffee, it’s time to ask about that.

G．Your name will immediately be written on your cup and called out when your drink is ready.
