My son's roommate described the accident,which caused the burns.Our son and his friends decided to barbecue (燒烤)hamburgers in the yard of their apartment.When they hit the charcoal (木炭),it started a fire in a sudden.The fire caught my son's shirt tail and shot from his back to his head.He stayed in hospital for almost two months.After he got well,he had to return to college with scars caused by serious burning.

When I was a child,my mother told my sister,who had a long,very clear scar on her arm,“Xiaoling,if you don't care about the scar,other people will pay no attention to it.It does not mean they will not notice it,but it means it will not matter to them if it doesn't matter to you.”I passed this suggestion on to my son who took my advice to heart and returned to school with his head held high—glad he was alive.

We all have “scars”that cause people to keep away from us.And we spend a lot of time thinking that if only we look differently,or dress differently,people would like us better.But if you focus on them,other people will only judge you by your looks,or your clothes.Put the scars aside,after all,nobody is perfect,so try to be confident,and your beauty will shine through.

In China,guests are almost like gods.Whenever I enter a Chinese person's home,there is always fruit on the table for me,and someone is quick to bring me a cup of tea or water.In the West,things are different.Acting according to the host's way of doing things is usual behavior for a guest.

And there are lots of things Westerners find difficult to adapt to.For example,my mother-in-law doesn't smoke,so when I see some of her guests smoking in her house,I as a non-smoker,would feel unhappy.Usually I want to stop them directly.But I must realize that,to be a good host in China,she mustn't do that.However,in most North America homes,you should not smoke.If you really want to smoke,you could ask,“Is it OK if I smoke?”But don't be surprised if you get a “no”.In our culture,it's not considered rude at all.

In China,you probably won't need to change the guest-host relationship very much because you will probably only be the host,and Chinese are naturally very good hosts.But if Western hosts invite you to their house,try not to be too surprised if their style of treating you is not what you have expected.

Yours,

A little stream(小溪) ran down from a high mountain through many villages and forests. Then it reached a desert. “I went through so many difficulties. I should have no problem crossing the desert,” she thought. As she started, she found herself slowly vanishing(消失)into the sand. After many tries, she still failed. “Maybe I can’t reach the ocean,” she said sadly to herself.

At this time, a deep voice said, “If wind can cross the desert, so can a river.” It was the voice of the desert. But the little stream answered, “That’s because the wind can fly, but I can’t.”

“That’s because you can’t give up what you are. Let yourself evaporate(蒸發(fā))into the wind and it can take you across me,” said the desert. “Give up what I am now? No! No!” The little stream could not accept this idea. “The wind can carry the vapor(蒸汽)across the desert and let it leave as rain. The rain will form a river again,” said the desert. “And whether you’re a river or vapor, your nature never changes.” After hearing this, the little stream went into the open arms of the wind. It carried her to the next stage of her life.

The course of our lives is like the experience of the little stream. If you want to go through difficulties in your life to head for success, you should also change the way you are.
