    A man lived in Florida and he was in his eighties. He called his son in New York one November day. The father said to the son, "I have to tell you that we've got some troubles here in the house. Your mother and I can't stand each other any more, and we're getting a divorce. I decided it! I want to live out the rest of my years in peace. I'm telling you now, so you and your sister shouldn't go into shock later when I move out."

    The son called his sister in Hampton at once and told her the news. The sister said, "I will deal with this." She called her father and said, "Don't do anything till we get there. We will be there on Wednesday night." The father agreed, "All right." The old man hung up the phone and shouted to his wife, "OK, they are coming for Thanksgiving. What are we going to tell them for Christmas?"

    One day, some tourists came to a hotel but there were only two rooms left. One was on the fourth floor and the other was on the seventh floor.

    "We Chinese like the number 8. 8 means we will get rich. We also like 9 because it means we can live long. But we don't like the number 4 because it sounds like 'death' in Chinese. I think if we sleep on the fourth floor, we may die?

    The Greeks said,"We want the room on the fourth floor." In Greece, 4 is a lucky number.

    The South Korean said, "We don't like number 4 or 13. 4 sounds like 'death', and 13 is an unlucky number in the west." The tourists from the west said, "Oh, we love number 7. There are seven days in the world as it says in the Bible(圣经).We don't like the number 13. It is an unlucky number. If we sleep on the 13th floor, oh…"

    "In Japan, 4 sounds like 'death', so we don't like it. And 6 is also not welcome. There isn't the fourth floor or the sixth floor in the tall buildings in our country. However, we like 7 very much", said the Japanese.

    At last, only the Greeks lived on the 4th floor, and the rest slept on the 7th floor.

    Norman Bethune was a famous Canadian doctor. In 1938, he came to China. Here is a story about him in China. It was October 20, 1939. Dr Bethune was busy working in a hospital. A man came and told Dr Bethune that he needed a lot of doctors. Immediately, Dr Bethune started out with some doctors. Dr Bethune took the wounded(受伤的) men into a small place and began to work. He went on working all the night. He had no time to think about taking a rest. The next day, a young man ran in and said to the doctors, "A few hundred enemy soldiers (敌兵）are coming." But Dr Bethune still went on with his work. Twenty minutes later, when Bethune was working on the leg of the last soldier, the guns (枪）sounded closer. Again the young man rushed in and told Dr Bethune not to work anymore. Dr Bethune, you must go now !" he cried. "Please go, Dr Bethune," said the wounded soldier himself. "Never mind, my boy. It won't take long," said Dr Bethune. "If I spend a few more minutes on it now, I. can save your leg. But if I don't, you'll lose it." The guns sounded even closer now, but Dr Bethune worked on. After he finished his work, he and other doctors left. As Bethune and the other doctors were climbing the hills, they could see the enemies going into the village.
