There are some special traditions in Hawaii. People there are very friendly and always welcome visitors. They give visitors a lei, a long necklace of beautiful fresh flowers. Men wear bright flowered shirts, and women often wear long flowered dresses.
     In Hawaii you may find some traditional Chinese  Japanese and Philippine holidays  Of course  many holidays are from the United States. People call Hawaii the Aloha State. Aloha means both “hello” and “good--bye”. It also means “I love you ”.
     Usually when people from different countries, races or traditions lives together, there are serious problems. But in Hawaii there are few problems, people have learned to live together in peace.
     Hawaiians earn most of their money from tourists, most of whom come from the mainland and from Japan. The families of the first people who came from the U.S. mainland own the important banks and companies. Japanese are  also starting business and buying more and more land.

    If someone says to you: “give me five”, do not search your pocket to get five yuan! It will make others laugh! The person's not asking for your money, but your fingers.

    In the US, "give me five" or "give me the high five" is a popular gesture (动作). You can see it often in films or on TV. It means the clapping (拍) of each other's raised (举起的) right hands together.

    People do it when they meet for the first time or something happy happens. For example, a student has good marks in exams or wins a lottery ticket (彩票).If a football team wins a game, the players will give high fives to everyone around to celebrate.

    This gesture may come from the old Roman gesture of raising the right arm for the emperor(皇帝). This showed that the person raising his arm did not have a sword (刀) in his hand.

Why not try to give the high five to your friends?

    The Spring Festival is celebrated not only in China but also in other parts of the world. The traditional holiday is the most important to Chinese both home and abroad.

We rely on our memory for sharing stories with friends or learning from our past experiences. Yet evidence shows that our memory isn't as consistent as we'd like to believe.

There are countless reasons why tiny mistakes might happen each time we recall past events. And whenever these mistakes happen, they can have long-term effects on how we'll recall that memory in the future.

Take storytelling for example. When we describe our memories to other people, we might ask ourselves whether it's important to get the facts straight, or whether we only want to make the listener laugh. And we might change the story's details depending on the listener's attitudes. It isn't only the message that changes, but sometimes it's also the memory itself. This is known as the "audience-tuning effect", showing us how our memories can change automatically over time, as a product of how, when, and why we access them.

In fact, sometimes simply the act of repeating a memory can be exactly what makes it easy to change. This is known as "retrieval-enhanced suggestibility". In a typical study of this effect, participants watched a short film, then took a memory test a few days later. But during the days between watching the film and taking the final test, two other things happened. First, half of the participants took a practice memory test. Second, all of the participants were given a description of the film to read, which contained some false details. Participants who took a practice memory test shortly before reading the false information were more likely to reproduce this false information in the final memory test.

Why might this be? One theory is that repeating our memories of past events can temporarily make those memories malleable. In other words, retrieving（找回）a memory might be a bit like taking ice-cream out of the freezer and leaving it in direct sunlight for a while. By the time our memory goes back into the freezer, it might have naturally become a little misshapen, especially if someone has influenced it purposely in the meantime.

These findings lead us to wonder how much our most treasured memories have changed since the very first time we remembered them. Remembering is an act of storytelling, after all. And our memories are only ever as reliable as the most recent story we told ourselves.

Teddy bears

Children everywhere love toy bears, and people have been making them for hundreds of years. They also like stories about young bears. Three of the most famous storybook bears are Rupert Bear, Pooh Bear, and Paddington Bear, and most children in Britain and America also know the story Goldilocks and The Three Bears. At the moment so many children and adults too like toy bears and there are shops that sell only toy bears of all kinds. 

Many people call toy bears "Teddy" although this name has been used only since the beginning of the 20th century. The word "Teddy" comes from Theodore and a man called Theodore Roosevelt was the president of the United States from 1901 to 1909. Because people liked him very much and they called him Teddy, and because he had a toy bear, they called their own bears Teddy, too. 

Since August，driverless taxis can run on roads in cities including Wuhan，Chongqing（科技） into reality，sad China Daily.

Why do we develop self—driving cars？

Self—driving cars give us many benefits（好处）.They use computers to sense（感知） the things around them and make better use of space.This means fewer traffic jams and better parking of cars.For disabled（残疾的），self—driving cars can also help them get around more easily.By using computers，they can avoid unskilled，careless or drunk driving and so on.This can cut down 90 percent of road accidents，said the website TechDim.

Is self—driving cars totally safe on roads？

Self—driving cars can't react（反应） as fast as a human driver could if something unexpected（意料之外的） happens.Also，it is difficult for self—driving cars to see clearly.The car's computer could also get hacked（非法入侵），making it crash（碰撞），technology companies are working on these problems.
