     Singles Day falls on every November 11th, and as the name indicates, this relatively new holiday is one

specially for people who are still living the single life. I was a bit surprised when I googled "Singles Day" on

the Internet, to find that China is the only country in the world that has set up a special day for singles to

celebrate their lives.

     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. 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 Nov. 11. In order to remind them of 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. These college students carried their university tradition into society after they graduated. Singles

Day is now a special day for all.

     The main way to celebrate Singles day is to have dinner with your single friends, but it's important that

each person pay their own way to show their independence. People also hold "blind date" parties in an attempt

to say goodbye to their single lives.

     For breakfast on Singles Day, singles often eat four youtiao (deep-fried dough sitcks) representing the

four "ones" in "11.11" and one baozi (steamed stuffed buns) representing the dot in between.  Many singles

also choose to say goodbye to their single lives on the day.

     Many attend "blind date" parties and many people choose to marry on this day. In addition to meaning

"single", 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 heart.

You either have it, or you don’t—a sense of direction, that is. But why is it that some people could find their way across the Sahara without a map, while others can lose themselves in the next street?

Scientists say we’re all born with a sense of direction, but it is not properly understood how it works. One theory is that people with a good sense of direction have simply worked harder at developing it. Research being carried out at Liverpool University supports this idea and suggests that if we don’t use is, we lose it.

“Children as young as seven have the ability to find their way around,” says Jim Martland, Research Director of the project. “However, if they are not allowed out alone or are taken everywhere by car, they never develop the skills.”

Jim Martland also emphasizes that young people should be taught certain skills to improve their sense of direction. He makes the following suggestions:

●If you are using a map, turn it so it relates to the way you are facing.

●If you leave your bike in a strange place, put it near something like a big stone or a tree. Note landmarks on the route as you go away from your bike. When you return, go back along the same route.

●Simplify the way of finding your direction by using lines such as streets in a town, streams, or walls in the countryside to guide you. Count your steps so that you know how far you have gone and note any landmarks such as tower blocks or hills which can help to find out where you are.

Now you need never get lost again!
