Going to a friend's house is very exciting. You may spend time with a friend and get to see where he or she lives. So remember to be polite.

The first thing to remember is that when a friend invites you over, you need to arrive on time. If your friend tells you to come "around 3：00", that means you can arrive a little bit after 3：00. But usually it is a good idea to arrive at the right time.

Often it is also nice to bring something to your friend's house. This could be a box of chocolates for you to share, or maybe a CD that you can enjoy together. You can also bring some flowers. A little gift is a nice way to show your friend that you are excited to be at his or her house.

When you visit your friend's house, you may also meet his or her parents. You should tell them who you are and they may tell you their names. As a child, I went to visit my friend Paul. I called his parents by their first names John and Mary. But now I know it is more polite to call them Mr. and Mrs. Smith. This will show them more respect（尊重）and then they may tell you to call them by their first names. Another way to show respect is to call them madam or sir.

It is a cool thing to visit a friend's house. Be polite to your friend and your friend's parents, and you will be invited again.

It was autumn, and the Indians asked their new chief (酋长) what the weather would be like this winter. The chief said it was usually cold, and he told the villagers to collect wood (木材).

As a good chief, he called the weatherman and asked, “Is the coming winter going to be cold?”

“It looks like this winter is going to be quite cold,” the weatherman answered.

So the chief went back to his people and told them to collect more wood. A week later he called the weatherman again.

“Is it going to be a very cold winter?

“Yes,” the weatherman answered again. “It’s going to be a very cold winter.”

The chief again went back to his people and told them to collect every piece of wood they could find. Two weeks later he called the weatherman again.

“Are you sure that the winter is going to be very cold?”

“Yes,” the weatherman answered again. “It’s going to be very cold.”

“Why are you so sure?”

“Because the Indians are collecting wood like crazy!”

The Beijing Opera is our national opera. It is an important part of Chinese culture. Do you like watching the Beijing Opera? Why does Bao Zheng always have a black face? Why does Guan Yu have a red face? Let’s take a look at the art of the Beijing Opera facial highest painting or lianpu.

An elderly carpenter (木匠) was ready to retire. He wanted to leave the house building business. He planned to live a relaxing life with his family. He told his manager about his plan.

The manager was sorry to know his good worker was leaving his company. He asked the carpenter if he could help the company build just one more house. The carpenter said yes, but his heart was not in his work. He didn’t spend enough time choosing good materials. He wasn’t willing to spend too much time and energy building the last house.

After the carpenter finished the work, the manager came to inspect (检查) the house. Then he handed the front door key to the carpenter and said, “This is your house...my gift to you.”

The carpenter was shocked! If he had only known he was building his own house, he would have built it carefully.

Sometimes we are like the carpenter. We do some things carelessly. We may think the things have nothing to do with us. But with a shock we realize that things belong to us. If we could know that, we would do them carefully. But we can’t let the time go back.
