Do you know where family names come from? David, an English writer, tells us something about the family names in English culture in his new book.
Some family names come from the places of their homes. If a man lives on or near a hill, his family name may be Hill. People can call them Mr. Hill or Mrs. Hill. In England people's family names may be Wood or Lake because they live near the wood or the lake.
Some family names come from people's jobs. For example, Butcher means someone who sells meat. Farmer is a man who has a farm.
Many people get their family names from nicknames（昵称）. For example, my family name is Black. Because of the different colors, some are called Black and some are called White, Green or Brown. It is said that long ago, few people lived long. There were few people with white hair. When people saw someone with white hair, they would call him or her "white head".
So, when you see an English man with a strange family name, don't be surprised. There may be an interesting story about it.
Because of the COVID-19 pandemic, the government(政府) asked people to stay where they are for the Chinese New Year. This brings new changes for people how to celebrate the holiday.
Su Jianxiong, a college student in Hunan Province(省), spent his first Chinese New Year away from his home in Zhejiang Province. On New Year's Eve, his teacher invited Su to have dinner. He also received a gift bag from the school. "The care and kindness makes me feel at home," Su said.
Ye Sifan, who works in Chongqing, decided not to return to her hometown in Hebei Province. Instead, she celebrated the festival with two friends by booking New Year's Eve dinner online. Traditionally, the dinner is homemade or enjoyed together with families at restaurants. This year, however, booking semi-finished products(半加工产品) online has become more and more popular. More people liked to shop online better for the Spring Festival.
Ye Lusha, who lives in Beijing, canceled her travel plan to Sanya this year. Instead, she planned to take her parents to have a short trip in Beijing.
Many Chinese travel agencies(旅行社) offer services focusing on the short trips such as Ye Lusha's. Dai Yu, who works for an online travel agency, said the company provides private trips for some people who want to travel locally(当地) in a family unit. "In this way, infection(传染) can be avoided while spending happy time with family," Dai said.
Other people like to book a room in a hotel near home. A number of hotels in Changsha have provided "hotel vacations" for locals. Some also organized reading parties in the hotel for families to enjoy together.

When my family moved to America in 2010 from a small village in Guangdong. China, we brought not only our luggage, but also our village rules, customs and culture. One of the （rule） is that young people should always respect elders.
（luck）, this rule led to my very first embarrassment（尴尬） in the United States. I had a part-time job a waiter in a Chinese restaurant.
One time, when I was serving food to a middle-aged couple, the wife asked me how the food could be served so quickly. I told her that I had made sure they got their food quickly I always respect the elderly. As soon as I said that, her face showed great displeasure. My manager, who happened to hear I said, took me aside and gave me a long lecture about how sensitive（敏感） Americans are and how they （like） the description "old". I then walked back to the table and apologized to the wife. When the couple heard my reason, they （understand） that the cultural differences, so they laughed and were no longer angry.
In my village in China, people are （pride） of being old. We think people who reach such an age have the most knowledge and experience. , in the United States, people think "growing old" is a problem since "old" shows that a person is going to retire or that the body is not working well.

As a saying goes, "If you have a good friend, your joys are doubled and your sadness is halved". Friends are a helping hand, a comforting shoulder, a patient ear to listen to you. Man is a social animal by nature. We all need friends, so it is necessary for you to know how to make friends.
The first step is to open yourself up. If you want to make good friends, you should be able to share your thoughts and feelings with other people. When you are in a conversation, you'd better express your own thoughts and feelings. If a conversation is one-sided, the person doing all the talking may think the other person is not interested in what he is saying.
One of the most important keys to building a strong friendship with other people is to listen to them-really listen. When your friends tell you something that happened to them or complain about a situation, they are usually not looking for agreement but just want to be heard. So don't try to change their mind or solve their problems, just let them know that you are listening to them.
Respecting your friends is also important to keep your relationships healthy and strong. Looking at your friends while they are talking to you is one way to show your respect, as they will feel that what they are saying is important to you.
Unconditional support and encouragement is one of the things which friends have. True friendship means offering a shoulder when they need it, crying with them when they are sad, and laughing with them when they are happy. Only in this way, can the tree of friendship last for a long time.
