16．Andy Pope，a police community support officer for West Midlands Police，in the UK，has come to be known as a memory policeman for his surprising memory，which has helped him successfully recognize over 850suspects（嫌疑犯）in the last four years．
Every day，Pope arrives at work half an hour early，opens his computer，and scans the pictures of suspects in his computer．He has been doing it even since he joined the West Midlands Police in 2013，and as his brain stores more faces，hrs record of recognizing bad guys keeps getting better．His skill has made him special，and when policemen use up all other possible ways trying to put a name to a suspect's face，they tum to him．
"If you look at a picture enough times，there is usually something that sticks in the mind．Maybe I can't remember what it is at the time，but when I see the person in the flesh，it causes that recognition，"Pope says．He once recognized a robber whose photo he had looked at a year before，and another from a CCTV video，by a tiny mole（痣）on his face．
Andy Pope first attracted the attention of the media in 2017after recognizing about 250suspects．But according to a recent ITV report，Pope's record has improved in the last four years．
"I thought I was just normal until inspector Morris told me I was recognizing more people than anyone else，"Pope told The Telegraph in 2017．"I don't know whether I have a photographic memory．My wife has to deal with things like birthdays．When it comes to remembering dates，I'm useless．"

Dear Tom，
I'm writing this letter to tell youwhat has happened to the bag I borrowed from you yesterday．
When I got home after school，I put the bag on the sofa and began to do my homework．Unfortunately，when I wanted to put something into it，I found my father's pet dog had torn it into several pieces．I'm so sorry for this．When my father knew it，we went to the store and bought a new one for you．I will take the new bag to school tomorrow．I hope you won't be angry and can accept it．I also hope I can still borrow some things from you when I need them．
Apologize to you again for this and hope we can be friends forever．

14．Meeting people from another culture can be difficult．From the beginning，people may send the wrong signal．Or they may pay no attention to signals from another person who is trying to develop a relationship．
Different cultures emphasize 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 cafe 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；however，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．

13．Sweetest Day is always the third Saturday in October．This holiday is much more important in some regions than in others （Detroit，Cleveland and Buffalo being the biggest Sweetest Day cities）．It is a holiday that is gaining in popularity every year throughout the country．
Sweetest Day is celebrated on the third Saturday in October as a day to make someone happy．It is an occasion which offers all of us an opportunity to remember not only the sick，aged，and orphaned，but also friends，relatives and associates whose helpfulness and kindness we have enjoyed．
Over 60years ago，a Cleveland man，believing that the city's orphans and shut-ins too often felt forgotten and neglected，formed the idea of showing them that they were remembered．He did this through the distribution of small gifts．With the help of his friends and neighbors，he distributed these remembrances on a Saturday in October．During the years that followed，other Clevelanders began to participate in the celebration ceremony，which came to be called"Sweetest Day"．In time，the Sweetest Day idea of spreading cheer to the poor was broadened to include everyone，and became an occasion for remembering others with a kind act or a small gift．And soon the idea spread to other cities all over the country．
Sweetest Day is not based on any single group's religious belief or on a family relationship．It is a reminder that a thoughtful word or deed enriches life and gives it meaning．Because for many people remembering takes the form of gift-giving，Sweetest Day offers us the opportunity to show others that we care，in a practical way．
