As an old Chinese saying goes, "Keep the old and you'll get nothing new". It's time to buy some new clothes for summer. But 1 will you do with your old clothes?
Years ago, used clothes were 2 to younger brothers or sisters in one family. But now, most of us are the 3 child in the family, so we often wear new clothes. And people are buying more clothes 4 they are richer than before. Every year in China, people throw away about 26 million tons (吨) of used clothes 5 waste.
In many countries, charity (慈善) shops collect and sell second-hand clothes. In those countries, people often shop for used clothes at charity shops like Oxfam. The British singer Victoria Beckham often buys from Oxfam. She said, "Here is a(n) 6 I want more people to know about: used clothes are not useless. We can give them 7 to people in poor areas. We can also try to make full use of these clothes in creative ways. For example, they can be used to make things like toys."
Few Chinese cared about fashion years ago, but now more and more people are 8 in it. H&M, a fashion clothing brand (品牌), is inviting people 9 their used clothes into special boxes in its 45 stores in China. They sell some of the clothes at a lower price 10 cleaning them, so people don't have to worry about any health problem. As much as 95% of clothes thrown away can be re-worn or recycled. This helps people to cut down resource waste and give their clothes a new life.

Do you like chocolate? Maybe most people do. A box of chocolate can be a great gift. Buy one for a friend and give it as a surprise. See how happy that person gets.
Say you just got a box of chocolate. Which piece do you pick first? A man has studied people's choices. He says they tell something about the person. Did you choose a round piece? You are a person who likes to go to the party. Did you choose an oval shape? You are a person who likes to make things. Picking a square shape shows something else. The person is honest and truthful (真诚的). You can depend on him or her.
What kind of chocolate do you pick? Maybe you like milk chocolate. This shows you have warm feelings about the past. Dark chocolate means something else. A person who chooses it looks toward the future. What about white chocolate? Would you choose it? If so, you may find it hard to make up your mind. Some people like chocolate with nuts. These are people who like to help others.
Do you believe these ideas? Can candy tell all these things? It doesn't really matter. There is one sure thing about eaters of chocolate. They eat it because they like it.
There was once a musician. He said he was not afraid of dangerous animals, "Even a bear would be as quiet as the friendliest cat when hearing my music." But he had never played the game, and no one believed him.
A chance to show his words arrived just when a circus (马戏团) came to the town. The musician came to the ringmaster (领班) and told what he could do.
"Wow, that's interesting." The ringmaster said. "We just have three new lions and they haven't worked with the lion tamer (驯兽师) yet. Let's see what you can do with them." The musician agreed and the whole town crowded the hall to see what would happen.
The musician was standing quietly in the center with a smile. Then the ringmaster opened the door of the cage and jumped out angrily a huge lion, shouting and showing his teeth. Everyone was too nervous to breathe.
Still with the smile, the musician began to play. The beautiful music rose, then the lion sat down and began to enjoy the music. Everyone lost themselves in the music. The lion did, too. For the second lion, ________________.
Then it was the third lion's turn to appear and everyone there was waiting for the lion to be quiet just like the other two. But the lion ran up to the man and ate him.
All the people were surprised. The other two lions asked angrily, "What have you done! We were enjoying the music!" The third lion put his paw (爪子) to its ear and said, "Sorry, I can't hear you. I have been deaf for 5 years."
Different countries have different customs. When you travel to other countries, please follow their customs, just as the saying goes, ________".
People often forget to tip (给小费) when they travel to the United States . It is usual to tip porters who help carry your bags, taxi drivers and waiters. Waiters want to get a 15% tip on the cost of your meal. Taxi drivers expect about the same.
In England, make sure to stand in line even if there are only two of you. It's important. It's a good idea to talk about the weather. It's a favorite subject of conversation with English people.
In Spain, it's a good idea to have a light meal in the afternoon if someone invites you for dinner. People have dinner very late, and restaurants do not open until after 9 p. m. In Arab countries, men kiss one another on the cheek. Your host may welcome you with a kiss on both cheeks. Itis polite for you to do the same.
In Japan, people usually give personal or business cards to each other when they meet for the first time. When a person gives you a card, don't put it into your pocket right away. The person expects you to read it.
Don't forget to be careful of your body language to express something in talking. A kind of body language man be acceptable in one culture but impolite in another.
I travel a lot in my work, and what I dislike about my job is eating alone. It always makes me feel lonely to see others laughing and talking. So, eating in the room is a better choice for me.
After eating alone in my room for three nights in Houston, I needed to get out of my room. Although the restaurant opened at 6: 30, I arrived at 6: 25. The waiter at the front desk made a comment (评论) about my "being there really early" in surprise. I explained that I hated eating alone in restaurants. He then took me to a lovely table near the window and asked me whether I would mind if he sat down with me for a while.
I was glad! He sat and talked with me about his career goals (职业目标) and the difficulty of being at work on nights, weekends and holidays. He said he hadn't enough time to be with his family. After 15 minutes, he saw some customers at the front desk and excused himself. I noticed that before he went to the front desk, he stopped in the kitchen for a moment.
Then another waiter came out of the kitchen and had a wonderful chat with me. Before I left that night, some other waiters, even the cook, came out of the kitchen and sat with me!
When I asked for my bill about one hour later, all the people who had sat down with me came over in a big group to my table, and gave me a red rose. And I cried! What a beautiful experience!

When I was a little child, I dreamed to be a rich man who could fly around the world and take the first class (头等舱) on the plane. After I grew up, when I first took the first class, I felt like part of the rich group. I was filled with a sense of pride when sitting with those important people.
Once I was on the plane, I noticed that the stewardess (空姐) was working all the time to make sure that first class passengers felt comfortable. I thought she must love her job very much, because she gave everyone a big smile. When the stewardess walked past my seat, I looked up at her and said, "Thank you and I hope you have a great night." She stopped with a look of surprise on her face, and said, "Excuse me?" I said my words again. It seemed that I asked a question that she did not know how to answer.
A little later, when I was getting off the plane, the stewardess said to me, "Thank you very much, sir." Then she said, "You are the only passenger who has thanked me or said anything nice to me all night." The pride of being part of rich group disappeared as soon as I heard these words. Then I came to understand that taking the first class didn't mean you were a real "first class" person.

Now more people in the country choose to work in cities and leave their children at home. They have no time to for their children. So the problem of left-behind children (留守儿童) is getting more and more .
One of the biggest problems that the children are all hungry for the love from their parents. A research shows that about 15.1% of the children are to see their parents in a year, even during the Spring Festival. And only about 26.3% of the children can talk with their parents the phone only once or twice a month. When they are in trouble, they have no one to talk with and nobody can give them good . There are also many other problems, such as having no ability to protect themselves, eating unhealthy food, too much pocket money and time on the Internet and so on.
More and more people think we should do something to help them. The government is trying to protect the children at home and free their parents from worries about their children. "Children can't be with their parents very often, we should give them more care and love," said one official (官员).
In a word, the government, families and schools need to try their best to solve all the problems together.
