Some people believe that your nationality can influence your personality. This is why you might hear someone saying “She is a typical(典型的) Australian” or “He is so French”. It seems that people from a certain country share certain similar characteristics.
French
French people are often seen as romantic and outgoing people with a great love for life, food and wine. They are good at singing and dancing.
Chinese
Chinese are friendly people who are hard-working. They are polite because they are careful about “saving face” when dealing with other people.
Australians
Australians are merry people who spend a lot of time outdoors. They enjoy a slower life. They laugh a lot but sometimes people think they are loud and rude.
Germans
Germans are often described as being serious and careful. They are hard workers and pay a lot of attention to details. However, sometimes people say Germans have no sense of humour.
All these national types can be true for some people, but very wrong for others. For example, you might meet a German who is a confident singer with a great sense of humour, or an Australian who is shy and quiet.!

A Friend to the Pilgrims

"I speak English." When the Pilgrims （清教徒前辈美洲移民） heard these words，they were very surprised.The words came from Squanto，a Native American （印第安人）.But how did he learn to speak English？As the Pilgrims would soon find out，this happened to be a long story.

In 1605，George Weymouth，an English captain （船长），was exploring America.People from England were interested in the Native Americans of this new land.When Weymouth came to Squanto's village，he captured （俘获） five men.Squanto was not among them，but the little boy was curious （好奇的）.He volunteered to go with Weymouth to England.

In Spain，some monks （僧侣） saved Squanto and looked after him for three years.Then，he joined another trip to North America.The trip was to Newfoundland.This was still far from Squanto's home.Squanto returned to England in the end.

By now，Squanto had known many important men in England.They liked Squanto and wanted to help him.Finally，Squanto went back to his home village in 1619 with the help of them.But sadly，the village was empty.All of the villagers had died from an illness.

When the Pilgrims arrived in America in 1620，winter would soon come.They needed help.Squanto happened to be living close to their houses.He offered to help.Knowing the language and customs of Englishmen，Squanto helped the Pilgrims in many ways，including teaching them how to catch fish.The Pilgrims were really lucky to have such a good friend!

Venice, a city in the northeast of Italy, is famous throughout the world for its buildings and romantic canals (运河). But in February every year, people come to Venice for another reason. The city carnival fills the place with excitement and fun. This year, the celebration runs from February 4 to 21.
Colorful costumes have always played a very important role in the Venetian carnival. The carnival happens at the start of the Christian fasting (斋戒) period of Lent. It was traditionally a time to go a bit crazy with eating, drinking, dancing and dressing up before the fast began. People used masks to hide their social identity so that the nobility(贵族) would look no different from the commoners.
Today the carnival is largely for the tourists. “Venetians don’t dress up for Carnival after the age of 10.” Giuseppina Giudice, who has lived in the city all her life, told the Guardian. “All we see of Carnival is a river of strangers who flow into town to feel ‘Venetian’. They fill it, buy a cheap mask and leave with nothing but photographs of St Mark’s Square.”
Some locals want to bring back the original (最初的) feel of Carnival. In 2009, two social networking groups started organizing their own carnival. Visitors were invited. But there were no expensive tickets or fancy ball dresses---- just an old-fashioned Italian street party. “Tourists are welcome to our party ---- the more we can show them about the real Venice rather than the postcard Venice, the better,” Matteo Secchi, one of the organizers, told the Guardian.

Going to a friend’s house is very exciting. You may spend time with a friend and get to see where he lives. It is important to be a good visitor.
When to arrive
The first thing to remember is that when a friend invites you, you need to arrive on time. If your friend tells you to come "around 3:00", that means you can turn up a little bit after 3:00. But usually it is a good idea to arrive at the right time.
What to bring
Often it is also nice to bring something to your friend's house. This could be a box of chocolates for you two to share, or maybe a movie that you can watch together. You can also bring some flowers. A little gift is a nice way to show your friend that you are excited to be at his house.
How to greet (问候)
When you visit your friend's house, you may also meet his parents. ①You should tell them who you are and they may tell you their names. As a child, I went to visit my friend Paul. I called his parents by their first names John and Mary. But now I know it is more polite to call them Mr. or Mrs. Smith.

Shadow puppetry （皮影戏）started during the Western Han Dynasty and it has a long history of more than 2，000 years.It used to be popular in the countryside because it was simple and cheap.

The puppets are usually made from leather （皮革）or paper.It is hard to make them.The puppet﹣makers have to take 24 steps，which include washing the leather，carving （雕刻） and painting，to make a puppet.

Just like many things that are in danger，traditional arts also face the risk of disappearing. "Many young people still think that shadow puppetry is an old﹣fashioned folk art， " said Liu Chaokan，the sixth﹣generation inheritor （继承人）of shadow puppetry in Yunnan province.

Liu understands why old art forms couldn't interest young people，so he connects new stories with the traditional form of storytelling.In a recent show based on the ancient Chinese novel Journey to the West，Baigujing dances to a Korean pop song.Popular Chinese cartoon characters，together with the modern factors （元素），are Liu's secret in getting the attention of children. "Since they couldn't understand those old stories，why don't we show them the cartoon characters they love in shadow puppetry shows？" said Liu.

To keep the old art forever young，Liu thinks they should respect （尊重）its traditions and protect the basic of the art.
