①Japan's population is rapidly aging, with 28 percent of its people aged 65 or older. This means there aren't enough young people doing jobs that need physical strength (力量) like building things and farming.

②To encourage older people to work on, technology companies in Japan have developed special suits called exoskeleton (外骨骼). These suits can make it easier to lift and carry heavy objects.

③"We have no choice, elderly people need to stay in the workplace," says Daigo Orihara at Innophys. This company has made a suit called the Every Muscle Suit. It's light, weighing less than 4 kg. It doesn't need any batteries (电池) or motors (发动机). When users put it on like a backpack, they pump (抽气) air into it 30 times with a hand pump. Then, the suit can help them lift up to 25 kg easily. The suit costs about 1000 pounds and is used by food companies to help worker lift big boxes, by old people's homes to help workers lift people in and out of bed, as well as by food factories and building companies.

④Another company, Panasonic, is also developing different exoskeleton suits. Its most important one—the Atoun Model Y—costs 4200 pounds. It uses motors instead of air to work and can last for 8 hours. It weighs 4.5 kg and can help users lift up to 10 kg.

⑤Similarly, Japanese company JTEKT, part of the Toyota group, also began selling an exoskeleton. It's used to help older workers and also runs on a motor.

⑥As Japan is facing the problems of fewer and fewer workers, they may need to raise the age when people stop working. This means there will be even more need for exoskeleton to help older people keep working.

My good friend Carlos invited me to his birthday party. He moved to Canada from Mexico when he was a baby, but his parents tried to follow some of the Mexican traditions. At his party, I saw my first pinata (彩盒). It looked like an animal and was full of candies. People put it on the ceiling (天花板). Carlos hit (打) the pinata until it broke. All the candies fell on the floor, and we had a great time eating candies. Everyone shared. It was fun! 

Carlos's birthday party got me thinking about how kids in other places celebrate birthdays. 

Do you know that in Vietnam, everyone's birthday is on the same day? Kids do not celebrate on birthdays. Instead, on New Year's Day, all the kids celebrate their birthdays. Parents give kids red envelopes (信封) with lucky money in them. What a great way to celebrate birthdays! 

In South Africa, kids do not celebrate every birthday. However, on their 21st birthday, their parents make a key. It can be made of paper or wood. Parents give their child this key. It is a sign from the parents that the child can now "unlock the door to their future life". 

In Japan, children get a new set of clothes on their birthdays. While in Italy, adults (成年人) pull children's ears—one pull for each year. In Denmark, a flag flies outside the window of a house where a child is having a birthday. When the child is asleep, adults put presents all around the child's bed.

In 1921, long before the Walt Disney Company turned Pooh (维尼熊) into an international star of TV and films, Christopher Robin Milne was given a toy bear on his first birthday from his father, A. A. Milne, who bought the stuffed animal from a store. The stuffed animal was named Edward Bear. Years later, Edward was named Winnie. From the time Christopher Robin Milne was a baby until he was about 8 years old, he would receive different stuffed animals. A. A. Milne was a famous English writer. As he watched his son interact (互动) with Winnie and friends.

A. A. Milne thought his child's interaction with the collection of animals would make a great bedtime story. So Milne worked with artist Ernest H. Shepard and wrote the first Winnie the Pooh poem, where Edward Bear was known as "Teddy Bear". The writings appeared in Punch magazine and in the book they wrote together, When We Were Young, which was published in 1924. In a four-year period, three more books that focused on the bear and his team followed: 1926's Winnie-the-Pooh, 1927's Now We Are Six, and 1928's The House at Pooh Corner. 

The books and poems about Pooh brought great success to the writer, and the characters became favorites with young children and their families around the world. Their popularity led Disney to get the rights (版权) to make films about the characters in 1961. Five years later, Pooh, Tiger, Piglet and the rest of the team appeared on screen for the first time in Winnie-the-Pooh and the Honey Tree. The characters later appeared in TV shows, movies, video games and short films. Pooh's most recent appearance came last year in the popular children's program, Doc McSiuf ins, where he was a special guest.
