11．Helsinki is offering young people the chance to rent a cheap apartment in an old people's home，if they agree to spend time socializing with the elderly residents．
The city council is seeking applications from renters under the age of 25 who will commit to spending between three and five hours each week with their older neighbours，at a care home in the eastern Laajasalo district．In exchange，they'll get a studio flat measuring 23 square meters with a private kitchen，bathroom and balcony for 250 euros per month．
Currently only three flats are available，but the scheme is part of a wider effort to deal with a lack of accommodation for young people in the capital．Ordinarily a studio costs about 600 euros a month，depending on the area，one local university advises．
Those who apply don't need any specific care experience．"There are staff to look after the elderly，"project manager Miki Mielonen tells Yle．"We are looking for young people who maybe have a different perspective on everyday life，who will bring variety and recreation to the elderly residents．"
More than 60 people have applied for the spaces in less than a week，and the idea has also been widely recognized by Finns on social media．"Great project，hopefully it will spread to other areas，"writes one person on Facebook，while another applauds the scheme for bringing different generations together．
But some wish it were open to more people，with one user saying："It's a shame that the flats are so small．It would have been nice if the elderly had a small family with children or a single parent as their neighbour．"And one person has a different opinion about the cut-off age，writing："What a shame I'm too old for this-I would have surely applied．"

When I was seven years old，one day I go to the supermarket with my mother and sister．My mother had given me a dollar，with that I wanted to buy a pen．I would often check my pocket to seeing if it was there．After about ten minutes，I put my hand in my pocket and found tat a dollar was gone．I searched for everywhere but I couldn't find it．I was very sadly，and I told my mom about it．She told me go to The Lost and look for it．So I walked up there to ask when anyone had found a dollar．To my delight，anyone had turned in a dollar．I was deeply moved by the strangers'kindness．

“Privacy”is translated as“yin si”in Chinese.Traditionally，in the Chinese mind，“yin si”is associated with that which is closed or unfair.If someone is said to have“yin si”，meddlers(好事者)will be attracted to pry(打探)into his or her affairs.So people always state that they don't have“yin si”．

On the contrary，Americans often declare intention to protect their privacy.Their understanding of privacy is that others have no right to pry into things which belong to themselves alone and have nothing to do with others.One who is too curious and who spreads rumors is said to violate the right to privacy.

In the evening，Sonia and I went to a bar for dinner.In China，when people mention bars，something bad usually comes to mind.But here，the bar was a quiet and tastefully laid?out place.People spoke quite softly，afraid of interrupting their neighbors，and sat face to face as they drank，sometimes three or five persons sitting together.

This sort of atmosphere was totally different from my preconception(传统观念)，so I wanted to take a picture.Sonia stopped me，“Don't you see these people are pouring out their hearts？Maybe they are colleagues，friends，secret lovers.They came here looking for a peaceful place free from interruption by others.They wouldn't want to leave any trace of their having come here.So taking their pictures would be a serious violation of their right to privacy.”

Is there privacy between husband and wife？One of Sonia's friends married a talented Chinese man，but recently she became so angry that she wanted a divorce(离婚)．The reason was that her husband had opened one of her letters and looked through her purse.The husband didn't realize that this is not tolerated in the U．S.. He thought that being a couple was like being one person；why couldn't he see the letter or the contents of the purse？Truly，everyone，even those living as a couple，needs room—not only in three?dimensional(三维)space，but in the heart.

2.One of Sonia's friends wanted a divorce because____.
