A man bought a new pair of trousers for his primary school mates’ reunion（重聚） dinner．When he tried it out at home, he found that the trousers were too long by 10cm．
He asked his mother to help him shorten the pants．His mother said she could not do it as she was not feeling well．So the man asked his wife ．His wife said she was very tired that night, so she could not help him．Then the man asked his daughter．His daughter apologized for not able to do it because she had agreed to go dancing with her boyfriend．
"Ah well!" The man decided to wear his old trousers to the reunion．
Later that night, his mother thought to herself, "My son has been very nice to me．I’ll just help him before going to bed．" So she shortened the pants by 10cm．
Then his wife thought," My husband knows I am always busy and seldom ask me to help him．" So she shortened the man’s pants by another 10cm．
His daughter came home from dancing, and thought, "Daddy loves me very much．And he is such a cool daddy, allowing me to go out with my boyfriend．I would help him to shorten his pants．" So she shortened her daddy’s pants yet another 10cm．
The next day, three ladies told the man that his pants were shortened．He tried them on and found that his pants had become shorter by 30cm!
He laughed heartily, and said, "I must wear this pair of pants to show my schoolmates that my mum, my wife and my daughter are such loving people．" At the dinner, his old classmates were very envious of his loving family．
What would you do if it happened to you? Laugh out loud or start yelling?

（Teresa Lopez， from Cali， Colombia）
Where I'm from， we're pretty relaxed（1） time． We don't like to rush around． So we don't mind if people are a little late sometimes． If you tell a friend you're going to their house for dinner， its OK if you arrive a bit late． We like to enjoy our time slowly． We value the time we spend with our family and friends in our everyday lives． We often just drop by our friend's homes if we have time． We don't usually have to make plans to meet our friends．When we see each other， it's polite for boys to slake hands and for girls to kiss each other on the side of the face． We often just walk around the town center， seeing as many of our friends as we can!
（Marc LeBlanc， from Lausanne， Switzerland）
In Switzerland， it's very important to be on time． We are the capital of clocks and watches，after all! If someone invites you to meet him or her at noon， then you're expected to be there at noon． If you're even 15minutes late，（3）你的朋友可能会发疯，So I make an effort to be on time when I meet my friends． I always leave the house early to avoid heavy traffic because I think it's impolite to keep others（2） ．Also， we never visit a friend's house without calling first We almost always make plans to see friends． We usually plan to do some interesting things， or go somewhere together．

Do you have a nickname（呢称）？Most of us do by our looks， clothing， or personality， But for cities， the meaning of their nicknames has much more than that．
Many big cities have nicknames， such as New York﹣The Big Apple， London﹣The Great Smog， and Rome﹣The Eternal（永恒的）City． Why do cities have such nicknames？
In the 1920s，there were many races in New York． People called the prizes of these race．apples． Writer John J．Fitz Gerald first called New York the Big Apple， because New York is the place that many people dreamed of going to for the biggest prize of all．
For Rome， as the name suggests， the answer is simple， Romans believed that no matter what happened to the world， Rome would go on forever． Rome has been an important center of power for more than 2，000years．
As for London， in the Victorian period， it had problems with its air． Later in 1952，serious air pollution made 10，000people fall ill． But now the air of London has become better．
