We spent this holiday with our uncle. He loved to go on walks to collect stones. One day, he bought us backpacks(背包） and asked us to go to the mountain with him and carry the stones.

    The whole day we walked around. Every now and then he put stones in our bags. To our surprise, he also took some stones out from our bags. But we thought he had just found better ones. When we returned to the house, we were very tired. The backpacks were so heavy that we felt relaxed when we put them down. Yet our uncle's backpack was half empty.

    “Why did you give us so many stones?” we asked.

    “I didn't. You did.” He said. “You didn't know it, but I gave you a test today. I listened to every word you said. Whenever you were complaining (抱怨), I added a stone to your bags. Whenever you talked about something with positive (积极的) thinking, I took out a stone. And now look at your backpacks.”Our backpacks were full of stones.

    “Your negative(消极的) thoughts are like stones. You carry them in your mind just like those stones in a backpack. Once you have more negative thoughts ,your mind will be heavier.”

    With great love, our uncle taught us one of the most important lessons in life.

    Before you visit a country, knowing about the customs of the country is important and useful. Here are 4 customs you should know before traveling to Japan.

    No. 4 is avoided at all cost.

    In Japan, the number "four" is avoided because it sounds very similar to the word for death. No. 4 is very unlucky as No, 13 in Western culture. And it is used as little as possible. You must always avoid giving anyone something in fours because it can be seen as a very ominous(不吉利的)gt.No.49 is especially unlucky, as it sounds similar to the phrase that means "pain until death". The practice of avoiding No. 4 is called" Tetraphobia (四的禁忌)" and it is common in many East Asian and Southeast Asian regions.

    People will sleep on the trains with their head on your shoulder.

    If someone in Japan falls asleep with his or her head on your shoulder, it is common practice to Just tolerate(容忍) it, because the place where most people work is far from their homes. After working long hours, many people will get very tired and often fall asleep on the train.

    You must always bring a host a gift.

    If you want to visit someone, you must always bring a gift. The gift shoud also be wrapped(包). You should also never refuse a gift if someone visits you.

    Pouring your own glass is considered rude.

    It is common in the US and many other countries in the world to serve others before you serve yourself, _____in Japan you shouldn't pour yourself a drink. If you have poured for others, another guest will hope to see that your drink is empty and pour for you.
