Newspaper Carrier Day is on September 4 to celebrate Barney Flaherty and all the past and present newspaper carriers.
Every day, thousands of newspaper carriers get up early and carry newspapers around the streets. They deliver(递送) our newspapers before we wake up but few people think about their hard work.

But now many adults often deliver newspapers by car. It has become dangerous for children to be on the streets alone before six in the morning. The newspaper carriers in the world are paid differently. For example, the newspaper carriers in Britain can make about 25 every day. And they usually work seven days a week. When you see your newspapers next time, think about the persons who delivered them.

On December 24, kids around the world waited for Santa Claus(圣诞老人). They thought that the fat, white-bear d man would bring them gifts. But do you know that some people would rather keep Santa out of the door
Last month,10 doctoral(博士的) students from Tsinghua, Peking and Renmin Universities said SantaClaus wasn't welcome in China.
“Foreign holidays like Christmas are now very popular in China, while fewer and fewer people celebrate traditional Chinese festivals like the Dragon Boat Festival,”said the students in a public letter.
They asked people to stop sending Christmas cards and giving gifts to their children. Instead, they said, Chinese should spend more time on traditional festivals.
They have lots of support. In Hunan Province, several people went out on the street on ChristmasDay. They made poems and wrote Chinese calligraphy (书法).
“Instead of spending money on Christmas, we should care more about our own culture,”said one of them.
But others have different ideas.“Celebrations of foreign holidays help us know more about foreign cultures. It is good for us to make friends,”said Liu Yang,a 14-year-old boy from Shanghai.
Sun Long,13, from Beijing, sees the celebration as a way to make people happier and closer.“My school held a big party on Christmas Day. We played games and shared gifts with each other. I think we have got closer,”he said.

Complain(抱怨) Politely
Not everything goes the way you want it to. You may go to a restaurant and order a nice meal. But your order is wrong or not cooked properly. You may buy a product that breaks the next day. 51 However, if you speak angrily to people, they will become defensive(自卫的). Then they are less likely to help you. A more effective(有效的) way to get what you want is to stay calm.
Use polite language and a friendly tone of voice. Start with phrases such as,“I'm sorry to bother you,but...”or“Excuse me, but could you... ”For example,“I'm sorry to bother you, but I ordered potato soup, not vegetable.”Phrasing your complaint as a question also helps. 52 “Could you help me I just bought this phone case yesterday, but it's cracked.”
53 There is no faster way to make someone defensive than by blaming them. Use the phrase“Iknow this isn't your fault, but...”or“There has been a misunderstanding.” 54 Blaming people isn't as important as getting a problem fixed!
There are honest mistakes, but at times someone may try to take advantage of you. In that case, don't say“Hey! You're trying to cheat me!”Instead, use the phrase,“I understood that...”For example,“Iunderstood that the service charge was included in the price.”Then give the person a chance to answer.
If you don't get what you want with polite conversation, ask to speak to a manager or supervisor. 55
A. When trying to correct a problem, don't blame(责备) the person you're talking to.
B. People like to be asked rather than told!
C. But usually, you'll find that polite words and a smile will resolve a situation.
D. These kinds of experiences make you want to complain.
E. These phrases let people know you are only angry at the situation.
