I still remember an interesting story that happen when I was ten. One day, a classmate of my named Craig brought his pet mice along. Later, our maths teacher, Miss Jones, who came into the classroom to give her lesson. She saw the mice and said angry, ¡°Get those mice out of here right now!¡± Craig¡¯s feeling were hurt, so he let them out of cage. The teacher was very terrified that she jumped up onto her desk and screamed. We all fell back laughed. Four teachers ran into our classroom to see what was go on. They told us that we should put it back in the cage.

Five minutes later, Miss Jones was still screaming.

Last spring, I was fortunate to be chosen to participate in an exchange study program. In my application letter, I was careful to how much I wanted to see France; evidently, my excitement really came through in my words. Once I that I was going, all I could think about was the fun of foreign travel and making all sorts of new and friends. While traveling was inspiring and meeting people was , nothing about my term in France was what I .

The moment I arrived in Paris, I was by a nice French couple who would become my host parents. My entire experience was joyous and exciting I received some shocking news from my program coordinator£¨Ð­µ÷ÈË£©; there had been a death in my host parents' extended family. They had to travel outside France for several weeks. That afternoon, I had to out of one family's house and into another. The exchange coordinator told me I'd have a this time and asked whether I could share a bedroom with an English speaker. To avoid the temptation£¨ÓÕ»ó£© to my native language, I asked not to be with an English-speaking roommate. When I got to my new room, I myself to my new roommate Paolo, a Brazilian£¨°ÍÎ÷ÈË£©, the same age as I, whom I was surprised to find playing one of my favorite CDs! In just a few hours, we knew we'd be good friends for the rest of the .

I left France with many , so when people ask me what my favorite part of the trip was, they are always to hear me talk about my Brazilian friend Paolo and the scores of weekdays in class, weeknights on the town, and weekends France we enjoyed together. I love how people seem so different, but end up being so . The most valuable lesson I gained from studying in France wasn't just to respect the foreign people to respect all people, for your next best friend could be just a continent away. I would recommend an exchange program to anyone who wants to experience foreign cultures and gain meaningful .

A small boy sat on the street with a hat by his feet. He held up a sign which said: ¡° I am blind, please help¡±. There were only a few coins in the hat.

A man was walking by. He took a few coins from his pocket and dropped them into the hat. He then took the sign, turned it around, and wrote some words. He put the sign back so that everyone who walked by would see the new words. Soon the hat began to fill up. A lot more people were giving money to the blind boy. That afternoon the man who had changed the sign came to see how things were.

The boy recognized his footsteps and asked :¡°Were you the one who changed my sign this morning? What did you write?¡± The man said: ¡°I only wrote the truth. I said what you said but in a different way.¡±

What he had written was: ¡°Today is a beautiful day but I cannot see it.¡±

Argentina in the late nineteenth century was an exciting place. Around 1870, it was experiencing an economic(¾­¼ÃµÄ)boom, and the capital, Buenos Aires, attracted many people. Farmers, as well as a flood of foreigners from Spain and Italy, came to Buenos Aires seeking jobs. These jobs didn¡¯t pay well, and the people felt lonely and disappointed with their new life in the city. As the unhappy newcomers mixed together in the poor parts of the city, the dance known as the tango(̽¸êÎè)came into being.

At the beginning the tango was a dance of the lower classes. It was danced in the bars and streets . At that time there many fewer women than men, so if a man didn¡¯t want to be left out, his only choice was to dance with another man so that he could attract the attention of the few available women .Gradually, the dance spread into the upper classes of Argentinean society and became more respectable.

In Europe at this time, strong interest in dance from around the world was beginning .The interest in international dance was especially evident in Paris. Every kind of dance from ballet(°ÅÀÙÎè) to belly dancing could be found on the stages of the Paris theaters of the Paris theaters .After tango dances from Argentina arrive in Europe, they began to draw the interest of the public and they performed their exiting dance in cafes. Though not everyone approved of the new dance ,saying it was a little too shocking, the dance did find enough supporters to make it popular.

The popularity£¨Á÷ÐУ©of the tango continued to grow in many other parts of the world. Soldiers who returned to the United States from World War I brought the tango to North America. It reached Japan in 1926,and in 2003 the Argentinean embassy in Seoul hired a local tango dancer to act as a kind of dance ambassador, and promote tango dancing throughout South Korea.

Obama, Lady Gaga and Steve Jobs¡ªwhat do they have in common? They are, of course, all Americans. And according to a survey by social networking site baidu. com, they all best illustrate(¾ÙÀý˵Ã÷) the word ¡°cool¡±.

But just what does it mean to say someone is ¡°cool¡±? Most would answer that it is something to do with being independent-minded and not following the crowd.

Yale University art professor Robert Farris Thompson says that the term ¡°cool¡± goes back to 15th century West African philosophy. ¡°Cool¡± relates to ideas of grace under pressure.

¡°In Africa, ¡± he writes, ¡°coolness is a positive quality which combines calmness, silence, and life.¡±

The modern idea of ¡°cool¡± developed largely in the US in the period after World War II. ¡°Post-war ¡®cool¡¯ was in part an expression of war-weariness (ÑáÕ½ÇéÐ÷), . . . it went against the strict social rules of the time,¡± write sociologists Dick Pountain and David Robins in Cool Rules:Anatomy of an Attitude.

But it was the American actor James Dean who became the symbol for ¡°cool¡± in the hugely successful 1955 movie Rebel without a Cause. Dean plays a tough guy who disobeys his parents and the authorities. He always gets the girl, smokes cigarettes, wears a leather jacket and beats up bullies. In the movie, Dean showed what ¡°cool¡± would mean to American young people for the next 60 years.

Today the focus of ¡°cool¡± has changed to athletics (ÌåÓýÔ˶¯) stars. Often in movies about schools, students gain popularity on the athletics field more than in the classroom. This can be seen quite clearly in movies like Varsity Blues and John Tucker Must Die.

But many teenagers also think being smart is cool. Chess and other thinking games have been becoming more popular in schools.

¡°Call it the Harry Potterization of America¡ªa time when being smart is the new cool,¡± writes journalist Joe Sunnen.

The thing is£¬my luck¡¯s always been ruineD£® Just look at my name: Jean£®Not Jean Marie£¬or Jeanine£¬or Jeanette£¬or even Jeanne£®Just Jean£®Did you know in France£¬they name boys Jean? It¡¯s French for John£®And okay£¬I don¡¯t live in France£®But still£¬I¡¯m basically a girl named John£®If I lived in France£¬anyway£®

This is the kind of luck I¡¯ve had since before Mom even filled out my birth certificate£®So it wasn¡¯t any big surprise to me when the cab driver didn¡¯t help me with my suitcase£®I¡¯d already had to tolerate arriving at the airport to find no one there to greet me£¬and then got no answer to my many phone calls£¬asking where my aunt and uncle were£®Did they not want me after all? Had they changed their minds? Had they heard about my bad luck¡ªall the way from Iowa¡ªand decided they didn¡¯t want any of it to rub off on them?

So when the cab driver£¬instead of getting out and helping me with my bags£¬just pushed a little button so that the trunk (Æû³µºó±¸Ïä) popped open a few inches£¬it wasn¡¯t the worst thing that had ever happened to me£®It wasn¡¯t even the worst thing that had happened to me that day£®

According to my mom£¬most brownstones in New York City were originally single-family homes when they were built way back in the 1800s£®But now they¡¯ve been divided up into apartments£¬so that there¡¯s one¡ªor sometimes even two or more families¡ªper floor£®

Not Mom¡¯s sister Evelyn¡¯s brownstone£¬though£®Aunt Evelyn and Uncle Ted Gardiner own all four floors of their brownstone£®That¡¯s practically one floor per person£¬since Aunt Evelyn and Uncle Ted only have three kids£¬my cousins Tory£¬Teddy£¬and Alice£®

Back home£¬we just have two floors£¬but there are seven people living on them£®And only one bathroom£®Not that I¡¯m complaining£®Still£¬ever since my sister Courtney discovered blow-outs£¬it¡¯s been pretty frightful at home£®

But as tall as my aunt and uncle¡¯s house was£¬it was really narrow¡ªjust three windows across£®Still£¬it was a very pretty townhouse£¬painted gray£®The door was a bright£¬cheerful yellow£®There were yellow flower boxes along the base of each window£¬flower boxes from which bright red¡ªand obviously newly planted£¬since it was only the middle of April£¬and not quite warm enough for them£®

It was nice to know that£¬even in a sophisticated (ÊÀ¹ÊµÄ) city like New York£¬people still realized how homey and welcoming a box of flowers could be£®The sight of those flowers cheered me up a little£®

Like maybe Aunt Evelyn and Uncle Ted just forgot I was arriving today£¬and hadn¡¯t deliberately failed to meet me at the airport because they¡¯d changed their minds about letting me come to stay£®

Like everything was going to be all right£¬after all£®

Yeah£®With my luck£¬probably not£®

I started up the steps to the front door of 326 East Sixty-Ninth Street£¬then realized I couldn¡¯t make it with both bags and my violin£®Leaving one bag on the sidewalk£¬I dragged the other up the steps with me£®Maybe I took the steps a little too fast£¬since I nearly tripped and fell flat on my face on the sidewalk£®I managed to catch myself at the last moment by grabbing some of the fence the gardeners had put up¡­
