I had hidden the long black bag in the garage for the past two days. Tonight, in the dark, I would finally take it away. If everything went OK, it would be done by morning. But I had to be sure no one, not even my wife, saw me.
It was more difficult to get away from the party than I expected. I said that the children were tired and needed to get to bed. It was partly true. But the main reason for leaving was that I wanted to complete my plan.
First I had to get the kids to sleep. That was never easy at any time and tonight it was even more difficult. The eldest one wanted to know why we left the party early. I told him 10:30 pm was not early. As usual, I read them a bed time story, but I had to stop myself reading too quickly or they would learn my secret.
Silence finally came, and feeling like a thief in the night, I went out of the house and into the garage. Taking one end, I dragged(拖拽) the bag out from its hiding place and took it into the garden. I was worried that my neighbours might see me and call the police.
It was already eleven o'clock. By the light of the moon I started working, trying to make as little noise as possible. And that was not easy with a saw (锯子) and a hammer.
After much effort, my work was finally completed. I looked down at my watch. It was exactly 4:00 am. Then I went inside to have a shower and get a few hours of sleep. It wouldn't be long now before the kids would rush into my room and wake me up to tell me about the new tree-house Father Christmas had brought them this year. Why did the man feel nervous?
| A．He left the party too late. |

In the eyes of many foreigners，Chinese are the best hosts and the worst guests in the world．They're not really bad guests，but because the guest﹣host relationship（关系） in China is much different than in some western countries．It seems that they are not nice guests．And western guests sometimes look rude in the eyes of Chinese guests．
In China，guests are almost like gods（上帝）．Whenever I enter a Chinese person's home，there is always fruit on the table for me，and someone is quick to bring me a cup of tea or water．In the west，generally the guest is not a god．Acting according to（根据） the host's way of doing things is usual behavior for a guest．
My wife's mother，a very kind elderly Chinese lady，doesn't smoke．When I see some of her guests smoking in her house，as a non﹣smoker，I feel unhappy．Usually I want to stop them directly（直接地），but I must realize that in China，to be a good host，she must not do that．In most North America homes，if you are a guest，and the hosts are not smokers，you should not smoke in their house．At the very least，you could ask，"Is it OK if I smoke？"But don't besurprised if the hosts say，"No，you can't smoke．"In our culture，if you smoke in their home，you are a bad guest，but if they don't allow you to smoke in their house，they are not a rude host．
Guests in China also have special habits．Some western people may not adapt tothese habits very soon．Thankfully my wife is Chinese，so whenever we visit a Chinese family she tells me to buy them a gift．However，giving a gift to a host is not always necessary in my country．So，if you invite international guests to your home，don't be too surprised if they don't bring you a gift．
In China，you probably won't need to change the guest﹣host relationship very much because you will probably only be the host，and Chinese are naturally very good hosts．If western hosts invite you to their house，try not to be too surprised if their style of treating you is not what you have expected．

Let me tell you about a young boy who made a model car all on his own．The boy is me，six years ago when I was just 11．The car was small and simple，but in my imagination it was a high﹣speed racing car，speeding along the race road．
It was during the school summer holidays and workmen were building a new driveway and garage（车库） beside our house．It meant to add something new to our home．When I watched the workman，I came up with an idea﹣﹣﹣I would build a car to drive into the garage in celebration of it．I told my mother and began with my plans．But I couldn't find the right things for making the car，so I gave up and sadly spent several days doing nothing．My mother noticed that I had stopped working and asked me why．I explained and she suggested that maybe I should change my plan to fit the things I had，rather than give up．
And that's just what I did．I found small pieces of wood in my father's workshop and made my car from anything that was lying around the house．When I found a small engine（发动机） from one of my old model planes，I added that．The power came from a battery（电池） I found in a box．
By the time the garage was finished，so was my car．I called my family together outside the house，started the engine and put the car on the driveway．It was fast，and I had to run to the garage to prevent it from hitting the new door．My family began to cheer and I smiled proudly．Thanks to my mother I learned the value of continuing to do things，especially something difficult．Soon I was making plans for my next project：a robot!
