About five years ago, my grandma came to Australia from the Netherlands( 荷兰 ) to live with us. She loved cooking and collecting different kitchen things. She didn’t use all of them, but she loved seeing her kitchen with all kinds of nice cups, glasses, and plates. Before she came to Australia, she had to make hard choices. She stood in the kitchen and didn’t know what to bring with her and what to leave behind. She spent many hours looking at everything and in the end she made a decision to take a set of plates made of china( 瓷 ).

Then she came to Australia with the beautiful plates. Several weeks later, a new friend invited my grandma to have dinner in her house and asked her to bring a plate. My grandma was confused( 困惑的 ), but her English was not very good at that time and she couldn’t ask clearly what her friend meant. On that day, she picked out her most beautiful china plate and brought it to her friend’s house. She was sure everyone would like it. When she arrived at her friend’s house, she was proud and put the plate on a table. Around her empty plate were plates filled with different kinds of food. “There must be something wrong,” she said to herself. Her friend smiled when she saw her empty plate. “‘Bring a plate’ means ‘bring some food’ in Australia,” her friend said.

Grandma learned a good lesson that day. Since then, she has never brought an empty plate to anyone’s house again.

Judge the following statements true (T) or false (F) according to the passage.

A few days ago, a friend gave me a restaurant gift card, and I picked a sunny Sunday afternoon to use it. It felt good taking my family to a nice restaurant. The meal was delicious, and we all had a good time together. The gift card covered almost all of the check( 账单 ). I reached into my wallet to get enough cash( 现金 ) to cover the rest. I saw two bills( 钞票 ) inside, a smaller one and a larger one. The smaller one would only cover the rest of the check. The larger would also cover a nice tip( 小费 ) for the waitress. I decided to pick the smaller one.

At that time, my mind went back to 30 years ago. I was working as a cleaner in a restaurant much like this one. It was long hours of hard work for low pay. I always worried about how I could pay the rent( 房租 ).

I blinked( 眨眼睛 ) and was back in the present again, with my fingers touching the smaller bill in my wallet. I smiled, put it back and picked out the larger bill. I handed the gift card and the larger one to the waitress. “You keep the change( 零钱 ),” I said with a smile and a happy heart.

We are all one family in this world. Do your best to be kind. Do your best to be a good person.

The traditional Chinese lunar calendar( 阴历 ) divides the year into 24 solar terms( 节气 ). Lichun, the first of the 24 solar terms, lifts the curtain( 窗帘 ) of spring. After that everything turns green and is filled with energy. People clearly see that the daytime is becoming longer and the weather is becoming warmer. Here are some things you might not know about Lichun.

As a solar term, Lichun entered people’s lives in the Spring and Auturmn period. At that time, there were eight solar terms. According to some experts, the 24 solar terms were used for the first time in books during the Western Han Dynasty, when people set Lichun as the Spring Festival.

Wearing fabric swallows( 织成的燕子 ) is a custom in some areas in Shaanxi. Every Lichun, people like to wear a swallow made of colorful silk on their chests( 胸部 ). The swallow is a sign of spring and a symbol of success, wealth and happiness.

In China, it is said that the egg can be set upright on the first day of Lichun. It is believed that if someone can make the egg stand on the first day of Lichun, he will have good luck in the future.
