    "The grass looks greener on the other side of the fence," That's an old 1 in English. It means other places often look better, more interesting than the 2 in which you live. Some people worry 3young Chinese are beginning to feel that way. They see young Chinese paying no attention to Chinese culture and, 4, buying Japanese cartoon books, watching Korean soap operas and even celebrating Western holidays.

    Foreign books and soap operas are good, 5 Chinese writers and actors are just as good. As for holidays, Christmas is nice, but it can 6 have the meaning for Chinese that the Spring Festival has, and the West has nothing to compare with the Mid-Autumn Festival. And let's not forget the part of Chinese culture I like best:7 friendliness. Not all countries are as 8 as China.

    Jackie's mother died when she was giving birth to Jackie. Every year as Mother's Day got near, he would feel very sad and ask himself, "Why don't I have a mother? Why do I miss my mom even though I have never met her?"

    Then one Mother's Day, while all the other children were celebrating it with their mothers, Jackie walked along a road and cried sadly. An old woman saw this and asked him what was wrong. Jackie said that it was the saddest day of the year as it always made him think about his mother. He didn't have a mother to grow up with. Instead, he lived with his grandparents.

    The old woman listened to him carefully. After a while, she said, "You may not have a mother, but don't forget, young boy, Mother's Day is the day when we remember all mothers everywhere. We honor many things they do for us. Look at that young mother with her two kids, she has to carry the two kids and her groceries(食品杂货)all the way home. She does it out of love for her family. And don't forget that a grandmother is also a mother. "

    Jackie opened his eyes wide. He began to realize this was a wonderful way to celebrate Mother's Day.
