One day, colors started to argue. All of them thought that they were the best and most beautiful.

Orange said loudly, "I am the color of health and strength. I carry the most important vitamins (维生素). Think of carrots and oranges. 6 I fill the sky at sunrise or sunset, everyone is amazed at my beauty and 7 thinks of any of you. "
8could stand it no longer, so he shouted, "I am the color of danger and courage. I bring fire into people's blood."
Purple rose up and said "I am the color of power. Kings have always chosen me."
Indigo (靛蓝色的) spoke," I am the color of silence. Silence is gold. "
Their voices became louder and louder. Suddenly the rain started to pour down. The colors were so scared that they stayed close to one another. Then the rain began to say, "You 9 colors. Don't you know that each of you is unique (独一无二的)？ Join hands and follow me. They did what they were told and together 10 the most beautiful rainbow (彩虹)

Once, Yu took a boat trip to the state of Chu. Along the way, the river water rushed toward1 east, leaving the high mountains behind. Inspired（激发灵感）by what he2, Yu took up his qin and began to play. After a while, he noticed a woodsman (樵夫) standing on the riverbank, enjoying his music3.
Yu happily invited the man to the boat. The woodsman introduced4. "My name is Zhong Ziqi. " After that, Yu would play the qin for Zhong

In some western countries, some gifts like kites, chopsticks, or an erhu may be people's favorites.
Use beautiful paper to wrap (包裹) the gifts. Remember not to use white, black or brown paper.
For Japanese, gifts like tea or pens are nice. They don't like big gifts.
For Frenchmen, gifts like candy, perfume (香水), wine or books are perfect.
British people and Americans like flowers, wine and chocolate, and you can relax and take it easily at their parties.
In Arab countries, it's not polite to send a gift to someone when you meet him or her for the first time. You can give a gift when you meet a second time.

Some people have a very poor sense of direction. Unlucky, I am one of them. I have visited a place many times but I may still get lost there the next time. When I was a little girl, I'm afraid to ask strangers the way. And so I used to walk round in circle and hope that by chance (偶然, /碰巧) I would get to the place I was going to.
Now, I am no longer too shy to ask people for directions, but I often receive helpless or even wrong information. So I try not to give people wrong directions. If anyone asks me the way somewhere, I would say, "sorry, I am a stranger here."
Once on my way to work, a man stopped me and he asked me if I could tell him the way to the Friendship Building. I gave him my usual reply. But just as I walked on only a few steps. I realized that he had asked the way to my office building. However, I had no time to turn back and look for him. When I just got to my office, I found that the secretary (秘书) showed in the man who had asked me for directions. Imagine how embarrassed I was and how surprised the man was when we saw each other at the first sight!
Keep Calm and Carry On
Stuart Manley and his wife. Mary, run a second hand bookshop called Barter Books in Alnwick. Northumberland. In 2000, they bought a box of old books. When Stuart got them back to the shop, he discovered a poster at the bottom of the box. The poster read "Keep Calm and Carry On". Neither Stuart nor Mary knew anything about the history of the poster, but they liked it so much that they decided to hang the poster in their bookshop.
At the start of World War Ⅱ the British government designed three posters and the Keep Calm poster was one of them. Two of the three posters were released (展示) in public in order to encourage the British people. Although nearly 2. 5 million copies of the Keep Calm poster had been printed, the British government decided not to release them. In 1940. most of the copies were recycled into other paper products, Only a few were left.
The poster started its second life when Manley's poster began attracting the attention of customers in his shop. He printed copies of the poster to sell. Soon other companies began to sell products with the slogan (标语). It appeared on everything from mugs to shopping bags.
The reasons for the popularity of this rediscovered poster aren't hard to understand. Shortly after the poster made its appearance in 2000, a worldwide economic (经济的) downturn began. People were in need of something to raise their spirits. The saying "Keep Calm and Carry On" seems to be the perfect slogan to bring courage and hope to people. Besides the encouraging message, the simple design of the poster helped lead to its popularity.
Today the now—famous wartime slogan has been rewritten in many fun ways. Some people have created phrases like "Keep Calm and Dance On", "Keep Calm and Call Mom" or "Keep Calm and Eat a Cupcake", The slogan has become part of popular culture. The explanations of the slogan are often lighthearted, but it is important to remember its purpose when it was first designed.
