Giving gifts is a way of showing thanks or love, and it helps to build friendship. The rules of accepting gifts are different in China and in the West.
When Lucy, from the UK, gave a gift to her Chinese friend for the first time, she couldn’t understand it. “He refused to accept it twice, and when he finally accepted it, he didn’t open it. He just took it and put it away. After that, I never heard about it again. He never said he liked it or not. ”
In the West, it is polite (有礼貌的，客气的) to open it in front of the giver and say thanks. When you get a gift, the giver hopes that you are excited and really like it. But it is different in China. Usually, people don’t open the gift until the giver leaves. If they open the gift in front of the giver, the giver will think of them as impolite or greedy (贪婪的) . For the same reason, the Chinese will refuse a gift twice or three times before acception it. If you are the giver, give it again until it is accepted after the third time.
Today, more and more young people in China are turning to Western (西方国家的) rules of accepting gifts. That’s OK, but it would be better to follow the Chinese people when it comes to getting gifts from elders.

It was only about ten at night, but it was cold. The cop stopped at doors as he walked along the street, trying each door to be sure that it was closed for the night.
Then the cop suddenly slowed his walk. Near the door of a darkened shop a man was standing. As the cop walked toward him, the man spoke quickly.
"It's all right, officer," he said. "I'm waiting for my best friend, Jimmy Wells. Twenty years ago tonight, I had dinner here with him. The next morning, I was to start for the West to find a good job. We agreed to meet here tonight."
The man near the door lit his cigarette. The light showed a pale, square face with bright eyes, and a little white mark near his right eye.
"It sounds interesting," said the cop. "I hope your friend comes all right. If he isn't here at ten, are you going to leave "
"I am not!" said the other. "I'll wait half an hour, at least. Good night, officer."
"Good night," said the cop, and walked away.
There was now a cold rain falling and the wind was stronger, but the man waited.
About twenty minutes, a tall man in a long coat came hurrying across the street. He went directly to the waiting man.
"Is that you, Bob " he asked, doubtfully.
"Is that you, Jimmy Wells " cried the man at the door.
The new man took the other man's hands in his. "It's Bob! It surely is. I was certain I would find you here if you were still alive. We'll go to a place I know, and have a good long talk about old times."
At the corner stood a shop bright with electric lights. When they came near, each turned to look at the other's face.
The man from the West stopped suddenly and pulled his arm away. "You're not Jimmy Wells," he said.
"You've been under arrest* for ten minutes, Bob. But first here is something I was asked to give you. You may read it here. It's from a cop named Jimmy," said the tall.
The man from the West opened the little piece of paper. His hand began to shake a little as he read.
"Bob: I was at the appointed place on time. When you struck the match to light your cigarette I saw it was the face of the man wanted by Chicago Police. Somehow I couldn't do it myself, so I went around and got a plain clothes man to do the job. Jimmy."

①_______, but it is a wonderful city to visit. When talking about London, many people think of the terrible weather, but some don’t mind it and are interested in the black taxis and beautiful castles (城堡).

Outdoors:
Water the garden and grass at night. This gives water more time to get into the earth without evaporation (蒸发) from the day’s heat.
