UNICEF is the United Nations International Children's Emergency Fund．
It raises money and helps millions of young people around the world．
There are four main UNICEF projects at the moment：
Under Fives．Every year，ten million young children die．We can stop this．We can give children a better start in life﹣healthy food，a good home and a good school．
Child Workers．Many children do not go to school﹣they work in factories．They often work twelve or fourteen hours a day．And about 300，000children in the world are soldiers（士兵）﹣﹣﹣some are only eight years old! This is wrong and we want to stop it．
Girls' Education．More boys than girls in the world go to school．Some girls do not learn to read or write and later in life they don't get good jobs．Education is good for both boys and girls．We want more girls in schools
Medicine．Every year more than two million children die diseases because they do not have enough medicine．Medicine is not expensive．We give medicine to 40% of the world's children，mainly in Africa and Asia．

Have you ever heard"You never get a second chance to make a first impression （印象）？" It may sound like an unusual piece of advice， but it is true﹣ ﹣the first impression someone has of you when meeting you for the first time will probably influence how that person reacts toyou in the future．
What is even more interesting is that the brain takes in all the information to create that first impression in about three seconds．When you meet someone for the first time，by the time you have said your name or shaken hands， the other person has already formed （形成） an opinion about the kind of person you are．
So how do you make a good first impression？ Being polite and being well﹣dressed is very important．However，the most important way of making a good first impression is your face．Smiling almost always leaves a positive （积极的） impression on people， especially those who do not know you．Most people，generally speaking， are ready to smile back when they are smiled at．
What's more， smiling and being positive helps you to know and get a better understanding of new things． This means that you can possibly be friendlier to people you do not know and be more creative and able to solve problems more quickly． So if you ever need a reason to be happy， think about the wonderful people you might meet﹣ ﹣and impress﹣ with a cheerful smile．

On a weekend during Spring Festival， my parents and I were sitting in a restaurant． The drinks and food were good， so when we finished， my father left a tip （小费）． As we were about to open the door， the waiter caught up with us． He gave the tip back to us． My dad forgot that here is China， and tipping is not common．
However， in some countries， tipping is the norm．That's the way it is in the US．It's said to be good manners to tip your waiter，taxi driver，hairdresser，doorman and so on．And how much you tip depends on the service，which can really put your math skill to the test!
