When Peter and Rose Malupa came to the United States from the Philippines, they lived in an apartment in the center of Chicago. Rose worked as an accountant (会计) in a downtown bank.
After looking for a long time, Peter and Rose bought a house in the suburbs(郊区).
One morning, Mrs. Todd, the Malupas, next-door neighbor, stopped by to meet Rose, “Welcome to the neighborhood. We'd like to invite you and your husband to our home this Saturday evening. We want you to meet all the neighbors.”
On Saturday night, at 7 o'clock Peter and Rose walked to the Todds' home. Lots of people were at the party. Several people congratulated Rose and Peter on their new home.
About 8:30, Peter walked over to Rose and asked, “when will they serve dinner? I'm really hungry.”
“I don't know,” Rose answered. “I'm hungry, too. Maybe they like to eat late.”
At 9:15, everyone was still standing, talking and enjoying the refreshments(点心). Peter was feeling weak. He was so hungry. Rose brought Peter a bowl of crackers(饼干) and some cheese. By 10 o'clock, Peter was sick of crackers. And he was still very hungry.
Some guests started leaving, Peter and Rose were surprised. One guest said to Mr. Todd, “Thanks for inviting us to the party. We had a good time.”
Then Rose realized her mistake. She whispered to Peter, “This is a neighborhood party, not a dinner party. I made a mistake. All the other guests ate dinner before they came here.”
Peter and Rose quickly thanked the Todds for the party. They grabbed (取下) their coats and left. They walked back home, got into their car and drove to a nearby shopping center. The Italian restaurant was closed and the Chinese restaurant was closed. “What are we going to do?” Peter asked.

I have a neighbor we call “Happy”. I have never seen her angry at anything and never heard her say a harsh word to anyone or about anyone.
Happy and her husband Ben, 70, have a huge garden. They spent many happy hours together working on it. Most of the neighbors watched interestingly as Ben doubled the size of their garden. As the cost of food climbed faster than Ben’s beans, we all wished we also had such a large garden. As the rest of us spent our dollars at the market, Happy could be seen picking beans in her back yard.
Last month, Happy and Ben invited most of the neighborhood over for an “all-day food festival”. We were told to bring gloves and arrive very early in the morning. We didn’t know what was about to take place.
By 9:00 am, there were nine of us in the garden picking tomatoes, beans, okra, and squash. By 10:00 am, there was lots of laughter. We shared a lot of stories. By five o’clock, everyone was a little drunk from the wine and beer. After dinner, we played games. As we were leaving, Happy and Ben handed each of us a shopping bag filled with the bounty of the day, already packaged and frozen. What a delightful gift!
Well, the point wasn’t so much about the food. The true gift was a day of friends enjoying one another’s company. None of it would have happened if it had been for Happy and Ben’s garden. Now they have a blog about gardening in case we decided to plant a garden. And I am so proud of my tomato plants!

When we talk about how teenagers are getting worse and worse now, most young people don’t agree. Teenagers always say they are growing up. They can have part-time jobs. They can drive cars. And they can even get married when they’re a little bit older.
Their parents say, “Our children are very good. They like pop music, but they play it in their own rooms. They help in the house. You know they feel bored sometimes because there’s nothing interesting in the neighborhood, no clubs and no sports. They have nothing to do.
A teacher says that he believes most young people are very kind. He thinks that it’s not bad for young people to like loud music because it can give them lots of energy and make them feel excited .Also, a lot of young people work very hard at school, and they can get good jobs later.
Lewis, a sixteen-year-old boy said, “I have passed all my examinations, but I can’t get a part-time job because older people always think I’m lazy.”
In my opinion, a lot of teenagers are very kind. They belong to community work groups. They help old people, and they also volunteer in local hospitals or primary schools to help look after the sick people and younger students.
