11．Whenever we meet with difficulty or failure，teachers，parents or others often say to us or perhaps we say to ourselves，"Never give up．"These can be encouraging words and words of determination．A person who believes in himself will keep trying to reach his goal no matter how many times he fails．In my opinion，the quality of determination to succeed is an important one to have．Therefore，I believe that we should never give up．
One reason is that if we give up too easily，we will hardly achieve anything．It is not unusual for us to fail in our first attempt at something new，so we should not feel disappointed and should try again．Besides，if we always give up when we fail，we will not be able to develop new skills and grow．
Another reason we should never give up is that we can learn from our mistakes so that we can not make the same ones．If we do not try again，the lesson we have learned is wasted．
Finally，we should never give up because as we work to reach our goals，we develop confidence，and this confidence can help us succeed in other areas of our lives．If we never challenge ourselves，we will begin to doubt our abilities．
In short，it is important that we do not give up when working for our goals．Whether we succeed in the end or not，we will learn something，and what we learn will help us to become better and more confident．Furthermore，if we give up，we have no chance of attaining our goals any more，but if we keep making great efforts，there is always a chance that we will succeed one day．

8．When I went to England，I enjoyed my stay．But I noticed so many different traditions．
For example，you usually shake hands with people when you meet for the first time．But after that，you can just say hello．You must say Mr and Mrs when you speak to older people，but you can use first names with your friends．
One day we visited some friends and had tea．Tea is not just a drink but a light meal at around 4：00in the afternoon．You can't have tea─the meal─after 4：30．We ate sandwiches and a large fruit cake．You can only drink tea at a tea party，not coffee or juice．And you must drink tea with milk．You must pour the tea，then the milk─you can't put the milk in first，then the tea．
In buses and trains，the other passengers are very quiet，and you mustn't talk too loudly．It's very different from China!In some trains you can't even use your mobile phones!And you don't often hear people shouting in the street．
I was very lucky─I even went to a wedding．It was very different from a Chinese wedding．For example，the man and the woman can't see each other the night before the wedding．Then the woman mustn't arrive at the church on time but a few minutes late．And at the party after the wedding，the woman throws her flowers over her shoulder．The girl who catches them will be the next to marry!It was all very strange but it was great fun!

7．In the days before bootleg（非法销售）DVDs，anyone who lived in China during the early 1990s will remember how terribly exciting it was when a foreign film was screened ln the cinema．Only 20foreign films a year were allowed to be shown in Chinese cinemas until February 2012．
The US film industry has shown a lot of interest in developing its business in China．The reasons for this are clear． China has a population of over 1.3billion and，with the standard of living rising all the time，the US film industry wants a slice （一片）of the profits．There are thousands of new cinemas being added throughout China．Technology is also improving all the time，meaning that more and more cinemas are able to show films in 3D or IMAX format（形式）．
There is now a greater possibility of the US film industry earning more from the Chinese market．Now an agreement has been signed that will allow the number of foreign films a year to be increased to 34．This agreement with China will offer thousands of Americans jobs in and around the film industry．In addition，studios will be able to get 25%of the box office proceeds（收益），This was previously limited to about 13.5%． The real winners of the agreement will be The China Film Group and the Chinese cinema owners who make the largest profits．
The new deal is a huge step in the right direction．Even better．it will hopefully cut down on the Chinese bootleg DVD industry，which has long taken advantage of the fact that most Western films won't be shown in Chinese cinemas．
