“The grass looks greener on the other side of the fence (篱笆).”That’s an old saying in English. It means other places often look better, more interesting than the place where you live. Some people worry that young Chinese are beginning to feel that way. They see young Chinese ignoring (忽视) Chinese culture and instead, buying Japanese cartoon books, watching Korean soap operas and even celebrating Western holidays.
Foreign books and soap operas are good, but Chinese writers and actors are just as good. As for holidays, Christmas is nice, but it can never have the meaning for Chinese that Spring Festival has, and the West has nothing to compare with (与…相比) Mid-Autumn Festival. And let’s not forget the part of Chinese culture I like best: its friendliness. Not all countries are as warm as China.
It’s good to enjoy other cultures and to learn from them, but they cannot replace (取代) your own culture. It’s good to look on the other side of the fence, but make sure you take a good long look. You will find that the grass isn’t always greener on the other side of the fence.

We all have a first name and a last name, or family name. But for many of us, it doesn't stop there. 1. They mostly come from our real names.
Some of them are obvious (明显的): Tom is short for Thomas; Sam is short for Samuel. 2. Take the name William as an example. It can be shortened to Will, and also Bill. 3. During the Middle Ages, people liked to change letters to make names easier to pronounce. For example, a hard consonant (辅音) like Bis clearer than soft ones like W. Bill sounds much clearer than Will. Interestingly, the people of England even called King Wiliam III, who ruled in the 17th century, "King Billy".
Richard has also been a popular name in England for centuries. It was commonly shortened to Richand Rick to save time. 4. So Rick became Dick. This nickname became so popular that it included in an idiom. "Every Tom, Dick and Harry" means everybody!
5. England has had eight king Henrys. Yet most of them preferred to be called Harry. It is a tradition that continues today. The British Prince Harry's real name is Henry. I wonder if Harry Potter's real name is Henry.
A.We also have nicknames.
B.But how does Bill come from William?
C.The most popular name for English kings has been Henry.
D.Also, like the name William, people liked to make rhyming names.
E.Yet there are some nicknames whose origins are more mysterious.
