Jones. "I suppose it won"t do any harm. " When the manager brought him
the teeth, Mr. Jones put them into the mouth, and laughed and laughed.
They were his !

You should be careful in the giving of gifts. Never give a gift in a job
interview or go to a business meeting. Gifts are usually given during special
holidays or as "thank you" for special invitations.
At the time of arriving, you may give your gift to the host (主人) once
the introductions are made. With gift giving a few rules are in order: Be
modest (适度的 ) with your gift, do not buy expensive gifts.
Special food from your country or a bottle of wine are best if you do
not know the host very well,but be certain that your gift will not require
attention. You can usually say something like "I thought you would like
this a little later" when you offer your gift.
Be careful of giving wine , a bottle of wine is usually all right if you
know your host drinks wine. Flowers are good but remember: roses are
for personal relationships. Do not give roses. Cut flowers are nice if they
are in a vase(花瓶) . A small cultural gift from your"country is usually
very suitable.
Make sure your gift is packaged nicely with a nice card.
3. We can ________ some gifts each other during the special holidays ,
such as Christmas Day.

down at the youngster and 2._____( reply): "I 3.____(think)a lot in
my lifetime, and the secret 4._____(make) up of four words. The
first is think. Think about the values you wish 5.______(live) your life
by.
The second is believe. Believe in yourself based on the thinking
you 6._____ (do) about the values you 7.____(live) your life by.

Disney 10.____(say) to the little boy,"Think, Believe, Dream, and D are",
Later the boy lost his way in the street. When the mother found this, she went to look for him, but she couldn"t find him. Then she went to the police station to ask for help. She was very sad and didn"t know
how to face her husband. After hearing the bad news,the father humed to the police station. When he saw his wife,he didn"t blame her. Instead he said,"l love you,darling ! "
"If I had picked him up or found this earlier,this would not have happened," the father thought. He
thought there was no point in blaming anyone. His wife also lost her only child. What he could give her
was just consolation and understanding. Several weeks later,with the help of the police,they finally found
their lost son. From then on,they became closer than before. When something bad happens,people always spend lots" of time blaming others instead of giving others support. Try to learn to forgive,and then you
will find the world is much more wonderful.

Mr. Clarke works in New York and brought his family to China. They visited many places of
interest and had a good time here. Before they left for Shanghai, the Clarkes climbed up the Great
Wall. It was the greatest project about three thousand years ago. They took a lot of photos there
and then they had a picnic under a big tree. Suddenly it began to rain and they hurried to the car.
And when they returned to the hotel, they couldn"t find the bag in which their expensive camera
was. They were all sorry for it:They could buy another camera but had no time to go to the Great
Wall again. They could not miss the plane!
That evening they didn"t have supper. Mr. Clarke hoped to make them happy and said, "Well.
Let me tell you a story. An old man lived in a sixty-storey building. One day he fell down from it
when he was cleaning the window. But he didn"t hurt himself. "
"It was a miracle!" called out his children. "Why?"
"Because he lived on the first floor!"
They all began to laugh while two policemen with a bag came in. They said a Chinese boy
found it under the big tree and he as
ked them to find out who lost it."It"s really a miracle!" the Clarkes said happily.
