The cold wind blew strongly outside. Amaya was warm in her house, thinking about an article she'd read at school. The article was about kids who helped out their communities, and she thought it would be really cool to help her own town, Harvard.

   The only problem was that she wasn't sure how to help. In the article, the kids had grown food for people who needed food, but it was winter. She couldn't start a garden. Amaya was deep in thought when her mom said it was time to go shopping.

   As they drove along the road, Amaya saw a family walking on the sidewalk(人行道), wearing only light jackets. How could they must be! That gave her an idea! She could collect winter coats, hats and gloves for people who needed them.

   She shared her idea with her mom, who thought it was great. But how would they spread the idea to get plenty of winter clothing? Amaya decided to talk to her teacher, because then she could share her idea with her classmates at least.

   Ms. Monroe agreed when Amaya talked about her idea. They decided to call the project Hats in Harvard. Then they wrote a letter explaining the project. Ms. Monroe even said she could help Amaya talk to the headmaster aboutit, so they could get the whole school to join in it. They met with the headmaster during lunch time. He was excited about the idea, and said he would make sure copies(复印件) of the letter went home with all the students.

   They collected enough winter clothing in only one week. Then they left the clothes around two parks, so families who needed clothes could get them there. Three days later, Amaya and her mom went shopping again. She saw the same family that had given her the idea for Hats in Harvard. This time, though, the family looked nice and warm in some new coats, hats and gloves. Amaya felt warm in her heart, and was very glad she could help others.

It was the final（决赛） of the national high school basketball game. For the first time in their history，a team from a small town faced last year's best team. The players thought they couldn't win and wanted to give up. Seeing this，the coach told them a story. 

Peter was a woodcutter. He was afraid he would fall ill and die. His wife told him that as long as his hands and feet were warm，he wasn't dead. 

One day，Peter went out to cut down trees. It was snowy and cold. After finishing his work，he noticed that his hands and feet were completely frozen. He thought he was dead，so he stopped working and lay down on the ground. 

After Peter had been lying for a while, some wolves came over. They ate all the food in Peter's food bag. The wolves then noticed Peter lying quietly on the ground. They were getting closer to Peter. Peter thought， "If I weren't dead，I would kill you all. " When the wolves saw Peter doing nothing，they ate him. 

As the coach finished the story，the players talked about how silly Peter was. At the same time，they realized what their coach wanted them to understand：the opposing（竞争的） team was like the wolves，and they were like the woodcutter. They should fight till the end，whether they were "alive" or "dead". 

China is a nation of etiquette(礼仪). Chinese people are among the most hospitable people in the world. If foreigners visit a Chinese family, they would be surprised at the warmth that they would receive as guests(客人).

When you visit a Chinese family, the host usually makes tea for you. Then he will serve you snacks like biscuits or candy. Someone in the family will also talk with you, never letting you feel lonely.

At the same time, other family members will prepare a meal for you. Chinese people treat(款待) their guests with a big meal. They always prepare more food than the guests can eat. On the table, the guests must be the first to eat. One of the things that surprise Western guests most is that the Chinese host likes to pick food for visitors, which won't happen at Western tables. The Chinese family go out of their way to make you feel at home. As you finish eating, the host usually says," It seems that you didn't eat much. Please have more." Although you tell them you are full, they still put more food in your bowl.

Being warm and hospitable has long been an important part of Chinese culture and tradition. As Confucius(孔子) said thousands of years ago:

To meet friends from afar

How happy weare !

 The red panda is a cute and interesting animal. It is small and has reddish- brown fur(皮毛). The red panda lives in the mountain s of China. It likes to climb trees and is very good at it. It has a big tail and the tail helps to keep balanced (平衡的) when it climbs.

 The red panda eats bamboo, just like the black and white panda. It also eats fruits and eggs. It has sharp teeth to help it catch its food. The red panda goes out at night and sleeps during the day. It is a solitary animal and it does not like to be around other red pandas.

 Sadly, the red panda is in danger(濒危) now. The red pandas lose their homes and sometimes can't find food because people cut down trees for farming. Also, many people kill(杀) red pandas for their beautiful fur.

 The red panda is a special and beautiful animal. We all should try our best to help them.
