    During my first two weeks at the University of California, Berkeley, I experienced some unexpected, funny, and sometimes embarrassing(令人尴尬的) situations. Allow me to share some with you.
    But first, let me give advice to other foreign students who plan to study in the United States. Check the weather before coming! I was very sure that California was sunny all year around so I left all my jackets and sweaters in Paris. It was a huge mistake! It rained almost every day during the first week in Berkeley.
    I have to say that I quickly forgot these unlucky events. Life in Berkeley is very pleasant and everything is so easy compared to Paris. For example, in only 24 hours I bought a mobile phone and made the lease(租约) agreement for a flat. What's more, almost all the shops are open on Sunday, which is very practical for me.
    The first thing that surprised me is that students may come late to class. They freely enter and leave the classroom many times during class. In France, students respect the teacher's lesson, so they are never late and they leave the classroom only at the end of the class.
    The local people in California are in general very nice, open and active, However, I am not totally used to their habits yet. Indeed, I was used to shaking my friends' hands every day in France. During my second day at Berkeley, I shook the hand of one of my classmates whom I had met the day before and he told me “I think we already met!”
    Another funny story happened during the first party I attended: A girl that I meet before came to hug me. I thought she wanted to kiss me like we usually do in France to say hello. So I kissed her and she seemed a little bit embarrassed.
    I live a great experience at present, and I would just encourage any student to become a member in  a program at UC, Berkeley.

Imagine that you have woken up on the first day of your vacation. You enjoy a delicious breakfast, take a walk on the beach, and read the morning newspaper as you drink coffee. You are feeling happy and relaxed. But you may start to feel bored by the time the late afternoon comes around!

If you have ever felt like this, you're not alone. It turns out that having unlimited (无限的) free time is not always as great as we expected. What is the best amount (数量) of free time for our happiness?

Researchers tried to answer this question by surveying tens of thousands of people, collecting data (数据) on how they spent their time and how happy they were. After looking at the data, the research team found that having less than two hours of free time a day, was not enough to be happy. People with under two hours of free time a day usually had more stress. It means that they were simply too busy with work to get their happiness.

The fact that being too busy cuts happiness is true. It might lead to the answer that more free time is simply better. Surprisingly, having a lot of free time is not a panacea (灵丹妙药) for happiness. People surely get a certain sense of joy from finishing tasks. Having more than five hours of free time a day makes us lose the sense of joy. It is in fact cutting our happiness. But I think it is how we spend our free time that matters. When free time is used in more active ways, like playing a team sport, then five or more hours a day can keep of even produce happiness. However, spending five or more hours of free time alone can stop happiness.

The Double Third Festival, also ancient Shangsi Festival is an ancient Chinese festival. It comes on the third day of the third lunar month, so It's not on the same day every year. The day is said to be the birthday of Yellow Emperor (Huangdi). It didn't have a fixed date until the Wei and Jin dynasties(朝代).

In the Eastern Jin Dynasty, people often bath in the river on that day to wash away bad luck. Wang Xizhi wrote in his Lantingji Xu- about how people took a bath and wrote poems while drinking. In the Tang Dynasty, people enjoyed drinks and sightseeing. In the Ming and Qing dynasties, people did activities like throwing stones, going for long walks in the country and listening to music.

In modern times, people in the southern parts of China mainly celebrate the festival. For the Zhuang people in Guangxi, they can enjoy a two or three- day holiday. And it is a festival for young people to sing songs and find their true love. Bamboo dancing is another important actıvıty for them. For the Li and Miao people in Hainan, it is a day for remembering ancestors (祖先). For the Han people, it is a time to go outside to enjoy flowers and cook eggs with jicai. The Han people believe the wild vegetable and the special eggs are of great benefit to human health. In some areas, there are dragon boat races and other cultural performances to celebrate this lucky day.

All in all, the Double Third Festival is a time for people to feel nature, share traditions, and celebrate the arrival of spring with joy.
