20．When he wrote The Adventures of Tom Sawyer and The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn，Mark Twain turned to Hannibal．The relationship between Hannibal and Twain began in November 1839，when Twain's father decided to leave the village in Florida and move east about 35miles to the somewhat larger and more prosperous Hannibal，on the banks of the Mississippi River．Twain marked his fourth birthday about a week after the family settled there．He showed little promise of becoming a long-term resident．However，because his health was so poor that his parents probably feared he would not survive childhood．
During the family's first few years in Hannibal，Twain was too young to understand fully the changes going on around him．About the time the family moved into their new home．Twain's health improved a lot．Instead of having to lead a quiet indoor life，he could roam the streets of Hannibal．Climb the surrounding hills，explore the area's caves and splash about in local swimming holes．He reveled in his newfound freedom，spending nearly all his free time playing outdoors with the other boys in town and soon becoming a leader．
Twain's carefree days did not last long，on March 24，1847，his father died．For the next six years，his brother Henry，and his sister Pamela lived with their mother in the family home．Twain began taking odd jobs after school to bring in extra money．Within a year of his father's death，he quit school and became an apprentice （学徒） printer，and when his brother Orion bought the Hannibal Journal in 1851，Twain went to work for him as a printer and editorial assistant．The stories he wrote for Orion's paper，his first publications，taught him that he much preferred writing to typesetting．Thus，when he decided to leave Hannibal in May 1853，he already had an idea of his future career．

19．Meeting people from another culture can be difficult．From the beginning，people may send the wrong signals（信号）．Or they may pay no attention to signals from another person who is trying to develop a relationship．
Different cultures emphasize（强调） the importance of relationship building to a greater or lesser degree．For example，business in some countries is not possible until there is a relationship of trust．Even with people at work，it is necessary to spend a lot of time in"small talk"，usually over a glass of tea，before they do any job．In many European countries-like the UK or France-people find it easier to build up a lasting working relationship at restaurants or cafes rather than at the office．
Talk and silence may also be different in some cultures．I once made a speech in Thailand．I had expected my speech to be a success and start a lively discussion； instead there was an uncomfortable silence．The people present just stared at me and smiled．After getting to know their ways better，I realized that they thought I was talking too much．In my own culture，we express meaning mainly through words，but people there sometimes feel too many words are unnecessary．
Even within Northern Europe，cultural differences can cause serious problems．Certainly，English and German cultures share similar values； Germans prefer to get down to business more quickly．We think that they are rude．In fact，this is just because one culture starts discussions and makes decisions more quickly．
People from different parts of the world have different values，and sometimes these values are quite against each other．However，if we can understand them better，a multicultural environment will offer a wonderful chance for us to learn from each other，

Our clothes are a thing can affect our moods．Wear colorful clothes shows and affects our feelings．When we're sadly，we will wear dark clothes．But when happy，we often chose to wear brightly-colored clothes．Our choice of color shows what we are feeling．Suppose we are felt sad，if we wear black we may begin to feel worse．However，if we wear green，red and yellow we may feel good．Orange makes us more happier，white makes we helpful，and so on．So remember，if you are not feeling your best，you can try out some clothes of different colors．If one color has not effect on your feelings，maybe another will．
