Africangirl Joelle was raised on a steady (持续不断的) dietof Disney princesses. Whenever she felt sad, her parents would play a video ofSnow White, Cinderella, or Beauty and the Beast.It was always the quickest way to make her happy.

Therewas one princess who Joelle admired above all others. "Ariel (the Little Mermaid) fought to meet theexpectations she had for her own life," Joelle says. "I like herbecause she desired a world she wasn't a part of."

Joelleknew that kind of desire well. Since the moment she had first begun to watchDisney cartoons, she had dreamed of creating something similar. But her parentstold her that the idea wasn't practical. The girl was made to realize whocreated the cartoons she loved. Most of them were men and were white. That'salso why there were few African characters.

Lastyear, Joelle helped to organize an online exhibition of African comics. "Whenyou say Marvel or manga, people around the world immediately know what you aretalking about," she says. "We want the same to be true for Africancomic artists."

I'm ready to do my first jump 10 months after a skydiving(特技跳伞) accident. I can't wait! That accident almost killed me and it made me stay in hospital for half a year. During the boring long days, I didn't feel happy to be alive (活着的). I was wondering how I could live without my favourite sport.

It all started on an evening after nine-to-five o'clock. I was sitting on the sofa when an ad (广告) came on the television— try skydiving. The next day, I went to the skydiving school in my town. At the end of the day's lessons, I knew I found the right sport for me.

I would never forget my first jump. Five of us walked to the runway and got into a plane. I. was afraid, but the others were talking and joking, and I started to feel a little relaxed. It was a beautiful, sunny day and the sun was just. going down. Soon it was time to jump. As I jumped from the plane, I shouted. But then everything became quiet. It was the most wonderful four minutes of my life.

From the first jump, I was hooked. I started spending all my free time skydiving. It became my reason for living. Things were going really well. Then an accident happened on my 104th jump. I broke my both legs, right arm and nose. I stayed in hospital for six months, but I. still couldn't forget skydiving.

My mother couldn't understand why the only reason I wanted to get better was to go skydiving again. But for me, skydiving is life, and life is skydiving.

Gift giving is an important practice that can show a number of different meanings. Here are some gift giving traditions from a few different countries. 

In Zimbabwe

In Zimbabwe, it is common to ask for a gift straightly. When a gift has been bought even without asking for it, the worst thing you can do is to refuse(拒绝) the offering, even if the giving family is poor.

In Japan

The Japanese show a great importance of the act of gift giving. For example, people don't like uncovered (裸露的) money. So whether you're sending money as a gift or just leaving a tip (小费), put your money in an envelope (信封). 

◆ In India

As people think left hands are unclean in Indian culture, acts such as touching, passing money, or giving gifts must be done with your right hand.

◆ In Russia

Vodka (伏特加酒) might seem a perfect gift for a Russian, but in fact, a lot of them would see it as an unimaginative (缺乏想象力的) gift. Many even think the idea is terrible. 

◆ In Ireland

Don't be astonished if your gift is refused a couple of times in Ireland. This tradition comes from a time when they didn't have enough potatoes to eat in the 1840s, and because of this, the receivers are making sure that you can really part from the thing that you are offering.
