American officials said Huawei gave information 【4】 it collected to the Chinese government. At the same time, the U. S. government planned to stop selling parts and services to Huawei, which was believed that Huawei's business would be 【5】.

"We have never received such a request from the Chinese government and we have never tried to get into other systems 【6】 information.”Ren Zhengfei, Huawei's founder and president said 【7】.

British roads are the safest in the world一in 2010, only 3. 8 people out of 100, 000 died in road accidents. This number is lower than that in any other country. If you go there, you should try to drive the same way as British people do. This is some advice for visitors who plan to go driving in the UK.

Drive on the left side of the road. In most countries, people drive on the right side. Many visitors have problems because they forget about this difference.

If there is line of cars, don't try to go past other people to get to the front. This is called "jumping the line". If you do this, other people will get angry with you.

Stop at the traffic lights. In the UK, drivers always stop when the light is red, although there aren't any cars or people around.

Don't use your horn（喇叭）too much. If you do, people will think you are not polite. If another driver flashes（闪光）their lights at you, then they are probably trying to tell you that they will wait for you to go first.

If you have an accident, then don't try to bribe（贿赂）the police! If you do, you might finish your visit in prison（监狱）.

Thanksgiving was just around the corner. The menu had been set. The shopping list was made. Everything seemed perfect. I could taste turkey and mashed potatoes（火鸡和土豆泥）. Pictures of different pies, fruit and vegetables came into my mind. I couldn't wait！

The day before Thanksgiving my dad called a family meeting. He said we needed to practice being thankful. "We are going to help out at a homeless shelter（收容所）on Thanksgiving Day.” I couldn't believe this was happening. So we wouldn't cook our own Thanksgiving dinner. The holiday wouldn't be the same.

However, those thoughts soon disappeared. Over the next few hours, I watched hundreds of people come through the shelter. For some, this was the only hot meal they would eat that week. For others, it was the first time to eat a Thanksgiving meal. The shelter was filled with joy.

Through this experience, I learned that Thanksgiving is a time to think about your blessings（祝福）and look for ways to bless others. When I gave up what I had wanted, I discovered how much I have. It is much better to give than to receive. In the end, that Thanksgiving became an unforgettable experience.
