The Double Ninth Festival （重阳节）is a special day for older people in China．On this holiday，younger people usually show love and respect for older people．
Respect older people is a tradition in China．There are many ways in which Chinese people express their respect．When an older person ①a room，everyone stands up．People are introduced from the oldest to the youngest．When we present a book to an older person，two hands are used．Young people always offer their seats to older people on a crowded subway or bus．
In western countries，however，older people seldom think they are old．They are called "senior" instead of "old people"．They'd rather do everything themselves．Even after retirement （退休） they take on hobbies，part﹣time jobs and new activities to keep their bodies working well．
Westerners respect their old people，too．Seniors usually take trains and buses for free．They are given discount（折扣） in stores and restaurants．
But western seniors don't often live with their children﹣they live ②．For holidays，the family usually gather at the grandparents' homes．A great smile and a warm hug for their parents are enough for children to show their respect．

Everyone wants to become perfect．Unluckily，being perfect may not happen．Here's some useful advice about how to refuse perfection．
●NO more comparisons
Compared with others，you may feel that you are not perfect．The solution？End your comparison．NO comparing，no pain．
●Accept your mistakes
When perfection is your goal，mistakes mean failure．Your fear of criticism（批评）may keep you from① risks or trying new things．Nobody is perfect．Take it easy．You needn't take others' words seriously．
●Ask for help
Part of beating perfection is accepting that mistakes are part of human beings．If you don't give up，you will be successful one day．You shouldn't prevent you from asking for help you need to really improve．
●Don't judge（评判）yourself
Find a trusted friend，family member or teacher who is not a perfectionist﹣someone who can take criticism and has learned from his or her mistakes．Share your goals and achievements with him or her，no matter how small they are
●Pay attention to your language
Cut out the words like never，always and should from your self﹣talk，Carry a notebook and take notes whenever you want to say these words．Realizing this means you're well on your way to changing them．
The more confidence （自信） you develop，the② you'll feel the need to be perfect．And when you give up perfection，happiness can begin right now．
