2．If Confucius（孔子）were still alive today and could celebrate his September 28birthday with a big cake，there would be a lot of candles．He'd need a fan or a strong wind to help him put them out．
While many people in China will remember Confucius on this special day，few people in the United States will give him a passing thought．It's nothing personal．Most Americans don't even remember the birthdays of their own national heroes．
But this doesn't mean that Americans don't care about Confucius．In many ways he has become a bridge that foreigners must cross if they want to reach a deeper understanding of China．
In the past two decades，the Chinese studies programs have gained huge popularity in Western universities．More recently，the Chinese government has set up Confucius Institutes in more than 80countries．These schools teach both Chinese language and culture．The main courses of Chinese culture usually included Chinese art，history and philosophy（哲学）．Some social scientists suggest that Westerners should take advantages of the ancient Chinese wisdom to make up for the drawbacks of Westerners philosophy．Students in the United States，at the same time，are racing to learn Chinese．So they will be ready for life in a world where China is an equal power with the United States．Businessmen who hope to make money in China are reading books about Confucius to understand their Chinese customers．
So the old thinker's ideas are still alive and well．
Today China attracts the West more than ever，and it will need more teachers to introduce Confucius and Chinese culture to the West．
As for the old thinker，he will not soon be forgotten by people in the West，even if his birthday is．

1．Last Saturday，my 8-year-old son，Chase，and I were shopping in a supermarket．Chase was busy weighing each new bag of vegetables I collected．I handed him a bag of tomatoes and he walked over to the scale（天平）and waited patiently in line．Suddenly，an old man walked up behind Chase，and stepped before him，bumping（撞击） Chase out of the way．Chase looked shocked and scared．Seeing this I left my shopping cart and walked over to Chase，saying loudly，"Are you all right，honey？I saw what that man did to you．That was very，very wrong．"
When the man finished weighing his bag，he turned around too quickly and all of his onions spilled out of his bag and onto the dirty floor．The three of us froze for a moment．Then I got down on my hands and knees and started collecting onions while the old man accepted them from my hands and put them back into his bag．After Chase and I retrieved（取回） all the onions，the old man walked away．We didn't discuss the event until we got back in the car．
On the way home，Chase said through tears，"Mommy，I've a frustrating day．That man cut right in front of me．And we had to help him pick up his onions!Why did we do that？That didn't make any sense．"
I took a deep breath and said，"Chase，that man seemed to have a very bad mood today．We should forgive him．I was also angry with that man for treating you rudely．I really wanted to kick him．But doing that doesn't make any sense．If we hadn't helped that old man，we might have felt good for a moment，but then I bet we would have felt really sorry for a long time．You and I have a lot of love to share．Maybe that man doesn't have much．People who behave badly still need love．"

16．In 1978，I was 18 and was working as a nurse in a small town about 270km away from Sydney，Australia．I was looking forward to having five fays off from duty．Unfortunately，the only one train a day back to my home in Sydney had already left．So I thought I'd hitch a ride （搭便车）．
I waited by the side of the highway for three hours but no one stopped for me．Finally，a man walked over and introduced himself as Gordon．He said that although he couldn't give me a lift，I should come back to his house for lunch．He noticed me standing for hours in the November heat and thought I must be hungry．I was doubtful as a young girl but he assured （…放心）me I was safe，and he also offered to help me find a lift home afterwards．When we arrived at his house，he made us sandwiches．After lunch，he helped me find a lift home．
Twenty-five years later，in 2003，while I was driving to a nearby town one day，I saw an elderly man standing in the glaring heat，trying to hitch a ride．I thought it was another chance to repay someone for the favour I'd been given decades earlier．I pulled over and picked him up．I made him comfortable on the back seat and offered him some water．
After a few moments of small talk，the man said to me，"You haven't changed a bit，even your red hair is still the same．"I couldn't remember where I'd met him．He then told me he was the man who had given me lunch and helped me find a lift all those years ago．It was Godon．

15．China is a land of bicycles．At least it was back in 1992when I traveled the country．Back then everyone seemed to be riding a bicycle．Millions of them，all black．Cars were rare．Yet since my arrival in Beijing last year，I've found the opposite is true．There are millions of cars．However，people still use their bicycles to get around．For many，it's the easiest and cheapest way to travel today．Bicycles also come in different colors---sivler，green，red，blue，yellow，whatever you want．
