When I was about 12 years old, I really wanted a new bike! 1., but I knew it was difficult to come true because my parents didn't have much money.
On my birthday my parents told me they had my gift outside under the tree in front of our house. I ran out to the tree. 2., but it wasn't the bike that I thought it would be. This one was pink and old with age. I thought I hurt (伤害) my parents' feelings because I was sure they could see the disappointment(失望) on my face.
3.. feeling bad that I had made my parents feel this way. So I put on a smile, rode as fast as I could and didn’t look back.
As time went by, I came to know that my parents gave me something much more than just a rusty(生锈的) old bike. 4.. When you give something to the one you love, it’s not important what it is. What’s important is the love in it. I like to remember this story because giving a gift is not about money. It’s about the love you can feel from it.
Remember this: a gift for $100 isn’t more valuable(有价值的) than one for $2
A. I got on the old bike and rode it
B. I told my parents my birthday wish
C. It's about how much you pay for it

How should a man dress, act and talk? There is no special answer. Many girls today love xiaoxianrou, or “little fresh meat” young men stars who are good-looking and cute: Of course, some people think men should be muscular(肌肉发达的) and strong
This topic became hot across China in September. It started when CCTV invited four young actors to the First Class for the New Term, a TV show for primary and middle school students. The four actors all look feminine(女性化的). They are thin and wear makeup(化妆)
Criticism (批评) of their look was everywhere on the Internet. Some called the actors "sissies", a word that is used to describe men who look like women. Some parents said they would be unhappy if their boys were like them.
If men act this way, China will never become the strong country it hopes to be, Xinhua said.
However, others have a more open mind to it. "It's not right to think all the men stars should be as muscular as Jackie Chan. People can have different ideas about good looks," Liang Yurou, a college student from Fujian, told China Daily
“What kind of looks he or she shows doesn't stop them from being an excellent person," China Women's Daily said in a report.

When I walk down the street in Changsha in summer, It’s quite difficult for me to find out my way. Why? Because there are so many umbrellas (雨伞) in the street.
Before I come to China, I never saw people taking umbrellas on sunny days. But in China, women take umbrellas when it’s raining. Later, I know why.
Firstly, it keeps people away from the sunshine. Changsha gets hot in summer. People sometimes take umbrellas to stay cool. But if umbrellas help us stay cool, why don’t men take them? That’s because keeping away from the sun helps women’s skin (皮肤) stay pale (白皙的). In China, people think pale white skin for women is more beautiful than tanned (晒成棕色的) skin. However, women in the US like to be tanned. Some people will stay outdoors in the sun for hours to get a tan. But doing this much can be dangerous. It's bad for the skin.
China isn't the only place where women take umbrellas on sunny days. Women in Greece( 希腊) also do this. So umbrellas aren't just for rainy days.
