　　During my elementary school years, I used to compare my mom with my best friend Tiffany's mom．

　　Tiffany's mom always gave her lots of money to buy the most fashionable clothes and favorite food．Her mom allowed her to do anything she liked．I really admired Tiffany．My mom didn't give me much pocket money and she always told me that I should behave myself．I was annoyed with her．

　　Whenever I didn't get what I wanted, I would complain to my mom, Tiffany's mom would give her that! I wish she were my mom．"Every time, my morn would calmly say "Poor Tiffany"．I couldn't understand her．"She shouldn't be feeling sorry for Tiffany!" I thought．"She should be feeling sorry for me．"

　　One day, I couldn't help saying to Mom, "Poor Tiffany? Lucky Tiffany! She gets everything she wants! Why do you feel sorry for her?" I burst into tears．

　　My mom sat down next to me and said softly．"Yes, I do feel sorry for her．I have been teaching you a lesson that she will never be taught．"

　　I looked up at her．"What are you talking about?"

　　Mom said with care, "One day she will really want something．Maybe she'll find out that she can't have it．Her mother won't always be around to give her money, and what's more, money can't buy everything．"

　　She continued, "I have taught you valuable lessons by not giving you everything you want．You'll know how to look for bargains and save money, but she won't．You'll understand that you need to work hard to get the things that you want but she won't．When Tiffany is a grown woman, she'll wake up one day and she will be wishing that she had a mom like the one you've got．Life lessons are more important than modern clothes and delicious food．"

Geena David knew she wanted to be a movie star when she was very young. She was not sure what gave her the idea, but she wanted to look like a movie star. “I have a lot of pictures from my childhood of me wearing sunglasses,” she says. “I used to wear them to watch TV.”
　 Early movie actors started wearing sunglasses not because they looked good, but because their eyes hurt. The lights used on movie sets were extremely bright and could cause a painful problem known as “Klieg eyes”. It was named after the Klieg brothers who invented the lights. Actors wore sunglasses to give their eyes a rest. But when movie stars began wearing their sunglasses in public, they quickly became a must.
　 Eventually actors started wearing sunglasses in their movies as well as on the street. Audrey Hephburn wore ultra-cool Ray-Ban sunglasses in the 1961 movie, Breakfast at Tiffany’s. As a result, Ray-Ban sunglasses started to appear more and more in the movies. In 1979, Ray-Ban “Wayfarers” were worn by Jake and Elwood in The Blue Brothers. Tom Cruise wore Ray-Ban “Aviator” sunglasses in the 1986 hit, Top Gun. Then in 1997, Will Smith and Tommy Lee Jones made Ray-Ban “Predator” sunglasses famous in Men in Black.
　  Of course sunglasses aren’t just a fashion statement. The main reason to wear sunglasses is to protect our eyes against UV radiation. UV radiation can damage our eyes, so people now choose their sunglasses carefully. But you don’t have to give up style for safety. The choice of frames and lenses available these days is huge. So you can protect your eyes and still be the coolest person on the beach.
