来到海外，学了“人在罗马，就象罗马人一样行事”。
“罗马人”的行为准则之一是尊重他人的私密，不问别人的年龄和收入。多年来已经养成习惯不对他人年龄收入感兴趣。不过人是好奇的动物。别人的钱包我不管，但年龄有时候还是挺想知道的。不能直接打听，就只好间接猜测啦。可以依靠的线索就是外貌了。
面容是与年龄有关的，但从面貌来判断年龄往往不会太[阅读全文]

小孩子的工作是什么？------玩耍！！
Akid'sjobistoplay!
小孩子当然不用工作。他们上学，上幼儿园，上学前班，在家呆着，看电视。如果有需要他们做的事的话，应该就是玩耍了。与同伴嬉笑追跑，与小朋友玩游戏，在沙坑里挖战壕造城堡，搭积木过家家，或者独自一人滑滑梯，荡秋千，滚铁环，画画儿，剪纸，看蚂蚁搬家看白云变苍狗，可以做的事情多得不得了。让孩子[阅读全文]
