2．Every December，millions of Christmas cards go through the post office．There are pictures of stars or snow or Christmas trees．In these days it is hard to think of a Christmas without Christmas cards，yet a hundred and fifty years ago there was nothing at all．Here is just a story of the way in which they started．Some boys of those days at boarding school had to write a special piece of English at Christmas time．This was to be sent to their parents so they could see the boys'work had got better during the year．
Young people like to make little drawing in the paper when they write something．These boys were the same．They drew little pictures all around the writing．After a time the pictures become more important than the writing．These were the first Christmas cards．

20．In a classroom in any country，the teacher teaches more than art or history or language．He or she teaches what is known as the"hidden course"-the culture of that country．
In a soci ety such as the United States，people with different history，culture and language join together and think highly of individualism．Teachers try to make each student special．Students do not have to remember a lot of information；instead，they work alone and find answers by themselves．There is often a discussion in the classroom．At an early age，students learn to have their own ideas．Their education encourages personal thoughts．The importance is put on how to arrive at an answer and not simply to get the correct answer．
In most Asian countries，the people have the same languages，history，and culture．Perhaps for this reason，the education there shows society's ideas in group goals rather than individualism．Children in China and Japan often work together and help each other on their homework．In the classroom，the teacher often teaches in a public way．He says，and the students listen．There is not much discussion．Instead，the students repeat rules or information that they have been taught in order to keep them in mind．
In many ways these differences come from different educational psychology．In Western countries teachers make it easier for the students to learn for themselves．In the Eastern countries，however，teachers often feel that their job is to pass knowledge to students，or the students can't learn anything．

18．Now there is a family problem．Nearly every parent says that we never grow up．In fact we are probably 16or 17years old．In their eyes，we are always little ones and often do wrong things．
Most parents always think that they have offered the best things they can to make their children live in a comfortable world．In return，they only want their children to get good results in the exams．
But why still can't their children understand them？Does it mean that we still want more material（物质） things？No．In fact，what we want is a true family．What does a true family mean"？I think it means that we can get warmth，we can get consolation（安慰），and we can get happiness from it．
So I think that parents should sit down to talk with their children and let them know that they have a true family，so the children and their parents could understand each other more and more．Then，parents will not treat their children as little ones．

15．When I walked into the house after school，I found my dad at home．"What are you doing home already？"I asked casually．
"Andrew，I was laid off （失业） today，"he answered quietly．
I was sure he was joking．"No，you weren't．Why are you really home？"
Then I noticed his expression and realized he was telling the truth．My father has always been hard-working and was proud of himself on his career．My father's unemployment（失业）created many changes in our lives．He was home all day，which meant my bed had to be made，my room cleaned up，and my homework done right after school．I came home every day and found him at the computer looking for jobs．I began to notice how down he seemed，and how losing his job had affected his self-esteem（自尊心），though he tried to be optimistic．He asked my brother and me to spend less money．I gave up my pocket money，which even though wasn't much，felt like the right thing to do．I also found a part-time job．
After several difficult months of searching，my dad decided to go in a totally different direction．He never wanted to be laid off again，so he was going to start his own business．Day by day，I watched him build it，and I admired how much time and energy he put into it．
One evening I asked if he needed help．
"Only if it doesn't interfere with school，"he said，which sounded like a yes．
I showed up at his office the next afternoon，and most afternoons after that for two months．I always knew he was a hard worker，but watching him in action really influenced me．Although this was one of the worst experiences for our family，it taught me a lot about dealing with troubles．Now I know that through creative problem-solving，I can always find Plan B，ask for help，and take risks．
