I live with my grandmother in a Beijing yard house. One day last year, (1)我驚訝的看到一個外國人從我家隔壁的房子里出來. He was very tall with short brown hair and a pair of glasses. The first time I saw him, (2)I was too shy to speak to him. “My English is too bad!”I thought.

As my friend was passing some elephants,he suddenly stopped.He was confused by the fact that these huge animals were being held by nothing but a small rope.The rope was tied to their front legs. It was       that the elephants could break away from the ropes at any time.But for some         ,they did not.
My friend saw a trainer nearby and asked why these elephants just stood there and didn't        to get away.
“Well,” he said,“when they are very           and much smaller,we use the same size rope to tie them.At that age,it's enough to hold them.As they grow up,they are used to         that they cannot break away.They believe the rope can       hold them,so they never try to break free.”
My friend was amazed.These animals could at any time break free,      because they believed they couldn't,they were stuck right where they were.
Like the elephants,how many of us go       life hanging onto a belief that we cannot do something,simply because we      at it once before? How many of us are being held back by old,outdated        that no longer serve us?

America is a mobile society. Friendships between Americans can be close and real, yet disappear soon. They don’t feel hurt. If the same two people meet again, even years later, they pick up the friendship. This can be quite difficult for us Chinese to understand. Friendships between us develop more slowly but may become lifelong feelings, extending(延伸)deeply into both families.
There is another difficult point for us to understand. Although Americans treat friends warmly in their personal everyday lives, they don’t show their politeness to them if it requires a great deal of time. But in China, we are usually generous with our time. We, as hosts, will appear at an airport even in the middle of the night to meet a friend. We may take days off from our work to act as guides to our friends: It is opposite in America, Americans can not manage the time to do a great deal with a visitor outside their daily plans. They will probably expect the visitors to get themselves from the airport to the hotels. And they expect the visitors will phone them from there. Once the visitors arrive at their homes, the welcome will be full, warm and real.
For Americans, it is often considered more friendly to invite a friend to their homes than to restaurants, except for business matters. Americans are ready to receive us foreigners at their homes, share their holidays, and their home life. So accept their hospitality(好客)at home and enjoy your visit in America!

One day, many years ago, when I was working as a psychologist in England, I brought David into my office. His face was pale and he looked at his own feet.
David lost his father when he was two years old and lived with his mother and grandfather ever since. But when he was 13, his grandfather died and his mother was killed in a car accident. His teacher told me that he refused to talk to others from then on.
David didn’t say a word. As he was leaving, I put my hand on his shoulder. “Come back next week if you like.” I said.
He came and I suggested we play a game of chess. He agreed. After that we played chess every Wednesday afternoon — in complete silence. Usually, he arrived earlier than we agreed. It seemed that he liked to be with me.
