An old story goes that once there were four single men,leading very boring lives.None of them were married,or had lovers,or did anything exciting.They just sat around all day and played Mahjong (麻將).One day they played Mahjong from 11 in the morning until 11 at night.During the game,no matter who won,the winning card was always the "four columns" card (the card shows four independent,parallel columns in two lines).Even more of a coincidence,it was November 11,or 11/11.In order to commemorate the day,they nicknamed it Singles Day.
Singles Day was first celebrated at various universities in Nanjing,capital city of Jiangsu Province during the 1990s.It got the name Singles Day because the date is comprised of four "ones".These college students have since graduated,and carried their university tradition into society.Singles Day is now a special day for all fashionable youths.
The main way to celebrate Singles Day is to have dinner with your single friends,but it's important thateach person should pay his own fee to show his independence.People also hold "blind date" parties in an attempt to bid goodbye to their single lives.
Many singles also choose to say goodbye to their single lives on this day.Many attend "blind date" parties and many people choose to marry on this day.In addition to meaning "Singles",the four "ones" of the date can also mean "only one" as in "the only one for me".Some people will use this date and this meaning to tell their special someone that they are the only "one" in their hearts.

2.I remember my math teacher Mr.Young very well.He stood out because the kids made fun of him.He was missing one of his fingers,and always pointed at students with his middle finger.
I was not very good at English and math.No matter how hard I tried,I just could not figure out why I did not understand what all the other kids found so easy to learn.
One day,I was told that if I got one more E on my report card,I would be taken to the "big prison for kids".
I tried really hard for weeks.I just couldn't understand how to make different parts of members into whole things.
The day before report cards were to come out,I knew that Mr.Young would give me an E,just like he always did.
I went to Mr.Young and told him that the orphanage (孤兒院) was going to send me to the big prison if I got another E on my report card.He told me there was nothing he could do;it would be unfair to the other kids if he gave me a better grade than I had actually earned.
I smiled at him and said, "Mr.Young,do you know how the kids make fun of you because you're missing your finger?" He looked at me,moved his mouth to one side and said nothing.
"They shouldn't do that to you because you can't help not having a finger,Mr.Young.Just like I can't help not being able to learn numbers and stuff like that." I said.
The next day,when I got my report card,I tucked it into one of my books.While on the school bus,I opened it:Geography,B+;Mechanical Drawing,C-;English,D-;History,C-;Gym,B+;Art,C;Math,D-.
That math grade was the most favorite one I ever received.Because I knew that someone in the world finally understood what it was like for me to be missing a finger inside my head.
