    My name is Jerry Zhang, and I am a father of two young daughters -- one is about four years old and the other is only about one.我来自中国,现在住在美国

    One day, my older daughter, Madison, told me she didn't want to be Chinese. Those days she was quite interested in the book characters (角色) Madeline and Eloise. She asked me all the time why she was Chinese and they weren't, and how she could have yellow or red hair like them.

    This made me look for books with Asian (亚洲的) characters for Madison to read. However, I only found a few, and they were heavily cultural (文化的) and Madison didn't connect herself with any of the characters in them. And she wash' t interested in them at all Then she told me again that she didn't want to be Chinese, and it made me sad.

    In most of the books for children in the US, the characters look like Americans. There are over 17 million Asians and Asians and Americans in this count, but few of them have Asian faces. I think it's important for Asian children to see themselves in books as interesting and clever kids.

    Yexiao or night snacks is the fourth meal of the day in China. It is usually from8:00p.m. to 2:00a.m. It is different in the north and the south of China.

    In the north of China, barbecue(烧烤) is the most popular night snack, especially in summer, while in the south there are many choices for ye xiao. Spicy crayfish(小龙虾)in Zhejiang and tasty desserts(甜点)in Xiamen have a lot of fans.

    Taiwan's night market is very famous. It is a place for both eating and shopping. Parents take their children to eat at street stalls. Young people shop around. Old people just sit around and chat.

    Why do people have ye xiao?

    Some say that in southern China we have longer days, so we don't want to go to bed early but to have more meals.

    But ye xiao is not just about food. People eat with friends, chat and hang out. All these things make ye xiao a way of life.

阅读下面短文,根据短文内容,完成下列各题。

    You must have remembered the story from your childhood: an old man was worried about his sons because they always quarreled with each other. So one day he asked them to break a bundle(捆) of chopsticks tied together. Clearly, none of them could. But when the bundle was untied, they were able to break each chopstick easily. Why? This is because of the power of unity(团结).

    Dr. John Maxwell, in his book Success Journey says that every success is not something you can achieve alone. Think about it —if at the end of all the achievements, you find yourself alone, will you call it success in a real sense? It is known to all of us that success always belongs to unity. But we often seem to forget it when it comes to individual(个人的) success. Most of us consider our success as a personal thing.

    Your dream and your success do not belong to you alone. Even though you work hard towards your dream, there are people who are working behind you to make sure that you are able to give yourself a hundred percent energy.

    Do you think that it is possible without unity? Don't you feel that these people are doing their best so that you can be successful? And so, unity plays an important role, even if you are talking about your personal success. Just like those chopsticks, they can't be broken only when they are tied together.

    So, it is your responsibility to keep unity if you really want to be successful in your trip. Only if you always treat things and people seriously, you will succeed because all the things and people around you have connections in some way.
