    Jackson was driving back home along a road one evening. He just lost his job. It was winter and it was very
cold, just like his feelings.
    An old lady with her car was standing on one side of the road. She needed help. No one stopped to help her.
Jackson stopped in front of her and got out of his car. The lady looked very worried. Even when he put a smile
on his face, the old lady still looked worried. Was he going to hurt her? He didn't look safe, and he looked poor
and hungry. Jackson knew how she felt. He said." I'm here to help you, madam. Why don't you wait in my car?
By the way, my name is Jackson."
     The lady thought for a while and then went into his car. There was something wrong with her car. Jackson
went under her car to repair it. When he finished, he got dirty and his hands hurt. Then the lady told him that
her name was Anie. She asked Jackson how much she should pay for his help.
    Jackson never thought about getting money. This was not a job to him. This was helping someone in need.
He told her that if she really wanted to pay him back, the next time she saw someone who needed help, she
should give that person help.

Jones goes to answer the telephone. A tired (累的) man says," Excuse me, at what time does your last
movie begin?"

     "Oh, sorry, it began twenty minutes ago (以前)? Thank you all the same. Goodbye." Says the man.
     Mrs Jones is very surprised (惊讶), so she tells her husband (丈夫) the whole thing. Her husband,
Mr Jones laughs (笑) and says:" I see. The man's wife wants to go to a movie, but he is tired. He doesn't
want to go to a movie. So he telephones the cinema. His wife hears (听见) him, but she can't hear you.
Now they stay at home this evening, and the husband is very happy and he can have a good rest (休息)
at home."

write in their yearbooks and the signature    10      of his yearbook were filled up.  He was smiling so big that 
it lit up the whole room.       
     I changed schools the next year,and I never saw Ricky again. However, I will never forget the day that he

very   1   . Several times I got stuck behind a slow-moving truck on a narrow road, and I was shouting and

     Huihua, a Chinese girl, and Mary, an American student who was studying Chinese in China, were on their
way to a bookstore. As they got to the bookstore, they saw a young man walking down the stairs. In his hurry,
he missed the last two steps, and fell to the ground. He tried hard to get back to his feet while people around
him laughed. Luckily, he seemed to be OK.
     Mary was worried. She found Huihua smiling a little and was not comfortable about it. "Tell me, Huihua,
how could people laugh when someone felllike that? Do they care at all? Shouldn't they go up and ask the
young man whether he was hurt?"
     "They knew he wasn't hurt too much." Huihua said.
     "But I still don't understand. A fall is a fall. In my culture, people would do anything but laugh!"
     Chinese Perspective (观点)
     This is an example in which the Chinese and the westemers explain a smile differently. Very often, the
Chinese people would also laugh or make a joke to ease the embarrassment (缓解尴尬) when they are caught
in the embarrassing situation. However, if someone gets hurt seriously, it will not be a laughing matter any
more. People will help him instead.
     North American Perspective A westemer would explain laughter in such a situation as a sign of either
insensitivity (不关心) or, worse, pleasure that the person falling had hurt himself because that person was
disliked. A westemer's reaction would have been to rush over, help the person up, and to ask him," Are you
OK'?" If a westemer fell, he, like a Chinese person, might probably make a joke out of the incident (事件)
if he was not hurt. If two close friends are walking together, and one trips but clearly isn't hurt, a common
joke is to say "Have a nice trip". However, this joke would be made only between two people who knew each
other well.
1. Did Huihua help the young man after he fell down in the bookstore?

2. How did Mary feel about Huihua's attitude towards the young man?
