Chuck Wall teaches management and human relations at Bakersfield College. He walked into class one day and told his students that their homework was to perform one act of random(任意的) kindness. His students did not understand the homework and didn’t know what to do, but the professor would not answer their questions. He encouraged his students to work it out for themselves.
One week later, the students entered the classroom excited to share their stories. One student told of giving away blankets to the homeless. Another reported on helping a dog to find its owner, and another student had been trying to find a long, lost friend. Students were energized (给予活力) by the homework assignment and wanted other people to be kind too. With the support of local businesses, the students made stickers to put on cars that invited people to do something kind for others. They sold the stickers and decided to donate the money to a center for the blind---not surprising as Professor Wall is blind.
Since then, similar kindness activities have been started in schools around the world. Many schools organize a Random Acts of Kindness Week, around November 13th, to celebrate World Kindness Day. Some schools use each day of Random Acts of Kindness Week to perform a different kind act, such as making a new friend, helping someone, doing community service, or raising money for a charity. Students learn to consider other people and thank about how small actions can make the world a better place.

It's different between western countries and eastern countries about how to keep healthy.
Traditional Chinese doctors believe we need a balance of cool yin and hot yang to be healthy. In China, herbs(中草药) are the main medicine but in western countries they use tablets(药片).
In China, if you are quiet and always tired, Chinese doctors might think you have too much yin. You should eat more hot yang food. It can give you some energy(能量). But in western countries , doctors will check(检查) your body. They might give you some tablets to cure (治愈) your disease （疾病）. People who are easily stressed out and angry might have too much yang in their bodies. Chinese doctors believe they should eat more yin food.
Now, people all over the world like herbs, because they think those herbs are healthy and they can help them eat a balanced diet.

If you ask me to tell how to get along in the United States, I think the following “do's” and “don'ts” would be helpful.
Generally speaking, it isn't easy to find anyone to talk to in a busy city, so you should try to do the following. First, get or borrow a dog! Walk him several times a day! Americans love dogs and cats and usually stop to talk to anyone with a dog. Then, try to eat in a restaurant. People generally share the same table and will sometimes talk to you if they see you are new there. Next, take your dirty clothes to a laundry(洗衣店)! It takes about an hour to wash and dry them and people there often pass the time talking with each other. Always ask for information from a woman if you are a man, and from a man, if you are a woman! Learn to say, “Please” “Thank you” and “You're welcome” and use them all the time!
There are some things you shouldn't do. Don't tell the truth when people ask, “How are you?” The only answer they want is “Fine”. Never ask people their age—especially(尤其) women! Everyone wants to be young. Don't tell heavy people they are fat. Tell them they are losing weight. Everyone wants to be thin. Don't be late when meeting people! When someone says six o'clock, be sure to be there by six. Americans respect time and want everyone to be “on time”.It isn't easy to find anyone to talk to in the USA because ________.

I’m an English teacher. Many parents often ask me,“ How can you teach your child good study skills? How can he or she get the homework done as quickly as possible?” Here are some tips:
1) If the child is as young as nine or ten, ask him or her to prepare a small notebook to write down the homework given by his or her teachers.
By developing this habit, he or she will learn to be much more responsible.
2) Find a good place to study. It should be a quiet place that is free from everything but study. No games, radios or televisions.
3) Also remember that it is the child’s duty to do his or her homework. Some children give up easily and go to mom and dad for help when they have a problem. Try to let them solve it first .By doing this, they will get a sense of success from overcoming problems. In this way, we help them to help themselves.
