　　By Joe I invited a friend of mine out to eat．My question is who should pay? I invited him to get together to eat, and I wanted to pay for the meal．However, someone told me that we both go Dutch on the bill is only proper and I want to know how you all see it．

　　By Bill Because you invite, you need to pay the bill(賬單)．When friends are splitting(分離)a bill, most people pass the bill around the table and how much they pay bases on(以……為根據(jù))what they order．If you both order the same thing, just split it．

　　By Holly If you invite him out and pick out the place where you go, you should pay because maybe he didn't want to spend his money there．

　　By Laura I don't think that people should expect the asker to pay unless it is a formal date and the asker is a man．It stops people from asking because you become a burden(負(fù)擔(dān))．For that reason I always pay even if someone asks me out．I think it's really polite．

　　By Mauchris I don't．think it is a big deal．Small things like this can sink a friendship．I would say that since you invited him that you should pay．Is it OK with him? If not, you are willing to go Dutch．

　　The following week, my neighbor walked by the shoe store and the manager recognized him and called him in．

　　"What's the problem? " asked my neighbor as he entered the store．

　　"Was there anything wrong with my check? "

　　"That's not it, " answered the manager．"The problem is that your mother is bringing all her friends in for those 12-dollar shoes! "

　　Overcoming shyness is not impossible．Let's discuss the steps to bring you out of shyness．

　　Step 1

　　Overcoming shyness is mainly a case of mind over matter．If you're afraid to do it, then do it again．The more you come to talk with people, the easier it will become．You may also find that it's not as difficult as you thought anyway．Just talk to people a little more every day．

　　Step 2

　　It sometimes helps to try to imagine(想象)yourself as another person．Think about it, do you get shy when someone else walks up to talk to another? Of course you don't．Think of yourself just as another somebody else and it'll make it a little easier．

　　Step 3

　　Dress up．The better you look, the more confident you'll feel．Feeling good about your appearance can greatly reduce shyness．

　　Step 4

　　If you're up to stage, try to imagine that you're somewhere else．Maybe in the comforts of your own living room．Tell yourself that the people in the audience are only people．

　　Mrs．Thompson came to the 5^th grade class and noticed that Teddy was always alone．Also, he did badly in his studies．When she reviewed Teddy's past records，she find he was a good child at first，but he began to change when his mother got ill．Finally he lost interest in school after his mother's death．

　　Mrs．Thompson realized the problem and felt sorry for him．She felt even worse when her students brought her beautifully-covered Christmas presents．His presents were covered with some old paper．Some children laughed when she found a bracelet(手鐲)with some of the stones missing, and a bottle with a little perfume(香水)．But she said how pretty the bracelet was, putting it on, and dabbing some perfume on her hand．Teddy stayed after schoul for a long time just to say，“Mrs．Thompson，today you smelled just like my mom used to．”After the child left，she cried for quite a long time．

　　On that very day，she taught not only knowledge but also children．As she worked with

　　Teddy，his mind seemed to come alive．By the end of the year，Teddy had become one of the smartest children in the class．

　　A year later，Teddy left school．She found a note under her door，from Teddy，saying that she was the best teacher he ever had in his life．After that, these words were repeated in each of his letters to her．

　　Then after he finished college, Teddy wrote telling her that he had met a pretty girl and was going to get married．He explained that his father was dead，and that he wondered if Mrs．Thompson might sit at the wedding in the place for the mother of the groom(新郎)．

　　Of course，Mrs．Thompson did．She wore the bracelet and the perfume that Teddy remembered his mother wearing on their last Christmas together．

　　They hugged(擁抱)each other，and Teddy whispered in Mrs．Thompson's ear，“Thank you，Mrs．Thompson，for making me feel important，and showing me that I could make a difference．”

　　Mrs．Thompson，with tears in her eyes，whispered back，“Teddy，it's not like that．You were the one who taught me that I could make a difference．I didn't know how to teach until I met you．”

　　It is common to believe that learning just takes place in school, but much of human learning happens outside the classroom, even from birth and people continue to learn throughout their lives．

　　Even before they enter school, young children learn to walk, to talk, and to use their hands to use toys, food, and other objects．They use all of their senses to learn about the sights, sounds, tastes, and smells in their environments．They learn how to communicate with their parents, grandparents, siblings, friends, and other people important to their world．When they enter school, children learn subjects like reading, writing, and maths．They also continue to learn a lot outside the classroom．They learn which behaviors are likely to be rewarded and which are likely to be punished．They learn social skills for communicating with other children．After they finish school, people must learn to deal with many changes that affect their lives, such as getting married, raising children, and finding and keeping a job．

　　Because learning continues throughout our lives and affects almost everything we do, the study of learning is important in many different fields．Teachers need to understand the best ways to educate children．Scientists, social workers and other human service workers need to understand how certain experiences change people's behaviors．

　　Learning is closely related(相關(guān)的)to memory, which is the storage of information in the brain(大腦)．Scientists who study memory are interested in how the brain stores knowledge, where this storage takes place, and how the brain later offers knowledge when we need it．However, scientists who study learning are more interested in behavior and how behavior changes as a result of a person's experiences．?

　　After our hospital visit, my husband and I needed cheering up, so we thought we would treat ourselves to a big breakfast at our favourite restaurant．While we were waiting for our meals, we decided to use all our small change and make our wallets light, so we counted it out as we waited．

　　I vaguely(含糊地)remember seeing a man sitting nearby．When our meals arrived, we found a note．It read, ” Your breakfast has been paid for．Hope you have a lovely day．”

　　It was a wonderful surprise as nothing like that had ever happened to us．He must have thought we could hardly pay the bill．We looked around to thank him, but he had left．As retirees(退休者)，we were grateful for the help like this, but it was the kindness of a total stranger that meant so much more to us．
