　　Many books have been written about“the art of giving”．But what about“the art of receiving”?Sometimes, receiving a gift can be difficult, especially when someone buys you a gift you don't want!

　　“I remember when I was about twelve years old, my parents bought me a purple purse,”laughs Guo Xiaojing．“It really made me feel strange, because to be honest, I thought the purse was out of fashion!Still, I pretended that I liked it because I knew it would make my parents happy!”

　　Han Ling agrees．“That sounds like my grandparents!”A few years ago, my grandparents gave me an orange sweater for my birthday．I used to wear it every time I visited them, but when I left their house, I took it off!Of course, this made me feel guilty．It was a very nice thought(心意), but my grandparents and I have different tastes!

　　I think it's hard to buy clothes or other Personal things for people．

　　To make things easier, some people would rather just give money．In some cultures, however, receiving money can make people uncomfortable．“When someone gives me money, it just makes me think they're being lazy”says John Wilson．“In England, we have a saying：It's the thought that counts．When someone gives me money, I feel they didn't think at all．I prefer to receive a gift that has some thought behind it．I don't mind if it's something I don't need．If someone has thought about a gift for me, it always makes me happy．”

　　In general, laws(法律)for children are a good thing．One hundred years ago in industrial(工業(yè)的)countries, children worked 18 hours a day in a factory at age seven．The factory owner could beat a child who fell asleep or was not fast enough．Both parents and teachers could do the same．Today, there are many laws about children all over the world．Some people think children must obey rules or they should be punished, others do not agree．The Inuits or Eskimos in Alaska almost never punish their children．The parents don't hit them．If the children go too far, the parents punish them by making fun of them．

　　Children in other parts of the world are not as lucky as Eskimo children．American parents can spank(打……臀部)their children at home, but a teacher cannot hit a child in a public school．This is also true in Germany．In contrast(對比), it is against the law for anyone to hit a child in Sweden．Swedish parents cannot spank their children．The children also have a special government official who works for their rights．There is even a plan for children to divorce from their parents though this is not a law yet!
