red flag (红旗) today. Could you please sign this note?" he said. The note showed that he had been talking during
reading time. He gets a "red flag" Only once in a while. His real worry is that he hardly ever gets top scores in his
school work. The best he gets is "OK" but often his score is "You can do better than this". My mum tells me
"You can do better than this" would mean "Very bad" in China. It's interesting, though, because teachers for little
kids in America never say anything too bad about their students; even if the students are making trouble in class
or not working bard enough. The worst they might say is "Please be nicer tomorrow". Many parents are pleased
with a B-grade for each subject.
I've heard that things are different in Chinese schools. Expectations (期望) are very high for students. Even
from first grade, homework was quite a lot for my relatives in Nanjing. I sometimes felt that my first-grade
Chinese cousin spent more time on homework than I did when I was a 6th grader in the US (this is the same as
the 6th grade in China)! Yet his parents thought he was a bad student. But to me, he was smart, even though he
didn't meet his parents' expectations. My parents tell me that some students who live in China before coming to
this country are years earlier in maths and science!
Do you think it's too strict in China? Or do you think that it's not strict enough in America? Maybe both are
true!

This farmhouse had been empty too long. It needed a family. Felix’s stomach made a noise. He realized that he had eaten nothing since yesterday. He took a bag from his home, and went next door to Farmer Mike’s.
Farmer Mike’s house had been a great place for Felix until the farmer married a wife who had a cat. Felix felt scared when he thought of it. He looked around cautiously as he moved quietly into the room and was quite nervous when he filled his bag with rice. He was turning to leave when suddenly he felt something unusual. The cat? Without thinking he started to run and luckily escaped the cat’s paws（爪子）.
The next afternoon Felix heard some good news: a new family would move into the farmhouse soon. Felix was happy and hoped that the family would come before Christmas. Before long, a car came up to the house, with sandwiches, cheese and chocolate.
Felix’s Christmas miracle did arrive!
The house came alive the next few days. Felix enjoyed every hour of them. However, the day before Christmas when he was drinking hot chocolate with a big smile, he heard about the gift that the children of the family might get for Christmas. What? A cat? The smile froze（冻结）on his face; his mouth fell wide open. After a long moment, he at last found his voice: “Hey! Whose Christmas miracle is this?”
