了解自己的人就是朋友，所以汉语中“知己”的意思就是朋友。我们都希望跟诚实的人交朋友，跟这样的人在一起我们觉得快乐，觉得放心。我们一般还喜欢跟那些性格、爱好差不多的人交朋友，因为性格、爱好相同的人有很多的共同语言。当然，跟性格、爱好不同的人也可以成为好朋友，有人就喜欢跟自己不一样的人交朋友。
一般性格外向开朗、说话幽默、脾气好的人比较容易交到朋友，别人也愿意跟他们在一起，​​因为有他们的地方就有笑声​​；性格内向的人不太爱说话，但他们也可以成为最好的朋友，​​好朋友不一定是那些最能说话的人​​。

诚实【chéngshí】-honest
性格【xìnggé】-character; nature; disposition
爱好【àihào】-hobby
外向【wàixiàng】-extroversive
开朗【kāilǎng】-sanguine
幽默【yōumò】-humorous
脾气【píqi】-temperament

Niet- und nagelfest

(A)  „NIET- UND NAGELFEST“ ist ein deutscher Ausdruck, den man eigentlich nur noch hört, wenn es um Diebstahl geht. Und tatsächlich wird im deutschen Einzelhandel alles GEKLAUT, was nicht niet- und nagelfest ist, in anderen Worten: alles, was sich leicht transportieren lässt. 

(B)  Dabei sind die Täter nicht nur Kunden; auch Mitarbeiter nehmen mit was nicht angenagelt ist. Ladendiebe sind vorwiegend männlich, man findet mehr Ausländer als Einheimische unter ihnen und NICHT WENIGE stehen unter Drogen. 

(C)  Mitgenommen wird alles, was sich gut verkaufen lässt, zum Beispiel Elektronik-Geräte, Spirituosen, Markenkleidung oder teure Kosmetik-Artikel. 

(D)  Natürlich tun Einzelhändler alles, um sich zu schützen: Sie sichern ihre Waren elektronisch, sie setzen Ladendetektive ein, sie trainieren ihr Personal oder versuchen es mit Video-Überwachung. Der Erfolg ist ZWEIFELHAFT: Im vergangenen Jahr verloren die deutschen Einzelhändler Waren im Wert von mehr als 3,5 Milliarden Euro durch Ladendiebstahl.

Ancient Egyptians loved and respected cats, believing they brought good luck.

Some families even dressed their cats in jewelry, and mummified them after death. They would mourn the death of their cat by shaving off their eyebrows, and continue to mourn until their eyebrows grew back.

Inspired by this ancient love for cats, the Shanghai Museum in China held a special event called Meowseum Nights.

Held 10 times during last summer and fall, the event invited 200 cats and 2,000 people to explore the exhibition On Top of the Pyramid: The Civilization of Ancient Egypt.

Some of the artifacts shown in the exhibition came from a temple discovered years ago in Egypt. The temple was for Bastet, an Egyptian goddess who could change into a cat. This gave the Shanghai Museum another reason to use cats as the theme for their event.

Museum director Chu Xiaobo said that the event was created to bring cat lovers to the museum, as in Shanghai, where there are over a million pet cats, cat-friendly public spaces are rare.

"There are dog parks, dog brunches, but not that much for cat parents to do with their pets," Wen Liuli, a visitor to the exhibition, told The Art Newspaper.

The museum took measures to keep all visitors and artifacts safe. Cats had to stay in strollers or bags, but there were certain areas where people could take their cats out for photos, such as in front of a statue of Bastet. All the other artifacts were kept behind glass.

The museum also had vets, doctors, and even an ambulance on-site, and over 80 animal welfare workers attended each night to help and give advice.

While the museum doesn't plan to hold another Meowseum Night, Chu hopes it might inspire other museums to try similar ideas.

"Cat people now have a special affection for the Shanghai Museum," he said.
