The label(标签), Made in China, is one that is becoming increasing common in shopping centers all over the world.

In the United States, shoppers at Wal-mart, the nation’s largest retailer(零售商), have a wide selection(选择) of products mostly produced in China. The large amount of Chinese imports(进口) have created a large selection of goods in other countries as people begin to buy more and more products made in China. These goods are even widely available(可获得的) in other Asian nations, where Chinese-made goods are quite popular. Chinese brand names are also becoming more well-known outside China.

When Chinese Americans visit family and friends in their homeland, gifts from the U.S. are a must. But TVs and fashionable clothes aren’t rare(稀少的) any more, and anything ‘Made in China’ shouldn’t be considered in any case(无论如何).

“When I decide to visit my family members in China. I will have a big headache. What should I buy for them? They may not all speak English, but everyone in China knows those three words, “a Chinese American said."When they see the label ‘Made in China’, they will think, ‘Why do you send me this?’”

The Double Ninth Festival is a special day for older people in China. It started long ago. The festival is on lunar September 9th. Activities are held to show love and respect to old people.

Respecting(尊敬) older people is a tradition in China. That’s because the Chinese know that older people have knowledge and experience that young people can learn. There are many ways in which Chinese people express their respect. When an older person enters a room, everyone stands up. People are introduced from the oldest to the youngest. When we present a book to an older person, both hands are used. Young people always offer their seats to older people on a crowded(拥挤的) subway or bus.

In Western countries, however, older people seldom think they are old. They are called “seniors” instead of “old people”. They’d rather do everything themselves. Even after retirement(退休)they take up hobbies, part-time jobs and new activities to keep their bodies working well. But of course among westerners older people are respected, too. Usually, seniors don’t have to buy tickets for trains and buses. They are given discount(打折) in stores and restaurants.

But western seniors don’t often live with their children alone. For holidays, the families usually meet at their grandparents’ home, and a great smile and a warm hug for their parents are enough for grown children to show their respect.
