     In Europe,many people make friends across the borders through town twinning. Two towns in different countries decide to become twin towns.

    Their citizens find penfriends in the twin town. They exchange newspapers and stamps. The school teachers discuss teaching methods with the teachers in the twin town. Officials visit the twin town for celebrations. Ordinary citizens travel to the town,too,but not very often if it is far away.

   Sometimes,schools even exchange school classes for two or three weeks. For example,German middle school students study for a while at the school in their twin town in Britain,staying with British families. A few months later,their British friends come to study in Germany.

   Some towns even arrange exchange visits for theatre groups,choirs and orchestras (管弦乐队). Others send lecturers to the twin town who tell the people there all about their own town,and show photos and slides.

Some towns organise exhibitions to show works of art,for example paintings by artists from their own town.

Many British towns are so pleased with the result of the twinning that they set out to find more than one twin town.

    Tonbridge,a medium-sized town in Kent,for example,has twin towns in Germany and in France. Richmond near London has links with Germany,France and a town in former Yugoslavia.

     Town twinning can help make friends and help people to learn from each other. It helps students to improve their language skills,and it contributes to international peace and understanding.

    Kelly Trella has found a way to get rid of her 2-year-old son's old clothes; she swaps (交換) them. Trella was clearing her house when she came across a magazine article about ^ThredUP,a children's clothes swapping web- site. She signed up and has been swapping used clothes ever since.

ThredUP now has 15 ,000 members with another 1 ,000 being added each week. Founder and CEO James Reinhart says the company is trying to attract parents who are buying their children clothes for the new term. The existence of ThredUP is surely driven by the economy.

     “These days people who once only dropped off clothes arebuyingthemtoo ,”saidJamesReinhart.“Morepeo- ple are more careful of what they spend,M he said. uThey (Mn’t have to worry about it before. They still want their kids to have those really nice things,but they don't have the money to do it. ”

    ThredUP worked with a Boston charity to give $ 1 from every swap to the charity to help clothe children and buy them school supplies. The site sends 10 boxes online to each customer. The customers can put their used clothes into the boxes and browse (浏览) the website for what they want. Once a customer finds what he wants,he pays $13 for transportation. The customer who owns the clothes then is informed so he can send the clothes off. There are no photos of the clothes,so decisions are pretty much based on brands and descriptions.

     "The first box I got,I paid $ 13 in total and I got 13 shirks. Of course,they have gone through the wash a couple of times,but they are of good quality,” Trella said. “You are giving and you are getting. It's nice to share."

The company relies on customer reviews to get rid of the people who are giving clothes that are in bad condition. There is trust involved for the people who use the site.
