Gina played a good joke on her mother yesterday. This is what she did. Gina went to the woods with her best friends Tina and Tara. They tried to find some green wood to fix up the house for Christmas. She wore her little cap, a red coat and a pair of cotton gloves. Gina was a merry girl. However, she felt sad this morning as she remembered her mother’s words, “The children are going to receive their presents, but I don’t expect any for myself. We are too poor to buy all of the gifts this year.”

When Gina told her brothers this, they all talked about a great deal. “Such a good, kind mother, and no Christmas present! It’s too bad.” said little Gina, with a tear in her eye. She found it was not easy to buy her mother a present.

“Don’t worry, Gina. She has you,’’ said her friend Tara.

“But I’m not a new Christmas present,’’ said Gina unhappily.

“Well, you will be new, Gina,’’ said Tara, “Jump into the basket and we’ll decorate it with beautiful flowers and grass. Then we’ll carry you to your mother.”

“And I am her Christmas present!” Gina cheered.

So they set Gina in the basket, and put green grass all around it. It was a joyful ride with laughing and talking. They set her down on the doorstep and knocked at the door. “There’s a Christmas present out there for you!” Mother went and looked, and there, in a basket of green grass, sat her own little laughing girl.

“Just the very thing I wanted most for Christmas,’’ said mother.

Food is very important to all cultures. French culture is no exception. In France, people like to eat special meals with their family and friends. On holidays, they often have a big, expensive meal at a restaurant. Usually, they eat one kind of food on a dish, finish the food, and then eat another kind of food on a different dish. A special meal in France can have many courses(菜肴), and often lasts two or three hours. French food is healthy and delicious.French people eat many kinds of fish,meat,fruit and vegetables.

Germany and France are both in Europe, but their eating customs are different.German food is healthy, but German people don't eat many kinds of food, and they eat fewer fruit and vegetables. The favorite food in Germany may be pork(the meat from pigs). potatoes, and cabbages.

Americans work hard, and they don't have much time to eat meals. American families don't often eat dinner together. For example, children may eat earlier or later than their parents. When American mothers work late, their children sometimes cook their own dinners. Americans eat lots of snacks, and get cheap meals like hamburgers and French fries from restaurants. These are called"fast food"because people don't have to wait long for their order. Now more and more people find them a problem because they aren't healthy.
