London’s Chinese community dates back to the 18th century, when a small number of Chinese sailors moved to the city to work in Limhouse, East London. As time went on, other Chinese people came to this area and Limhouse began to be known as Chinatown. However, London’s Chinese community remained very small for many years: at the start of the 20th century, there were just 545 Chinese people in Britain.
After the Second World War, many farmers in Hong Kong lost their jobs and came to London. As Limhouse had been almost destroyed during the war, they settled in a different area---a part of central London near Leicester Square. This area is now what Londoners call Chinatown.
At first, the new immigrants(移民)found it difficult to get jobs. In the 1950s, however, a small Chinese restaurant opened in London. Many British people visited it and said that Chinese food was wonderful!Suddenly, Chinese restaurants and take-aways started opening in every part of the city. Instead of too little work, the new Chinese immigrants now found that they had too much! They worked as cooks, managers or waiters. Most of them enjoyed their lives and arranged their friends and relatives to join them from overseas.
As time went by, London’s Chinese community became more and more successful. The sons and daughters of the original restaurant workers studied and worked very hard. And most went on to get highly paid jobs. Many Chinese families left Chinatown and moved to the more expensive outskirts. Chinatown, however, is still as lively as ever.

Hold your head up high
I was 15 months old, a happy carefree kid, until the day I fell. It was a bad fall. I
11
landed on a piece of glass that cut my eye badly. From then on, so my injured, sightless, cloudy gray eye lived on with me.
Sometimes people asked me embarrassing questions. When kids played games, I was always the “monster”. I grew up imagining that everyone looked down on me.
Yet Mom would say to me, “Hold your head up high and face the world.” I began to rely on that saying.
As a child, I thought mum meant, “Be careful or you will fall down or bump into something because you are not looking.” As a teenager, I usually looked down to hide my shame. But I found that when I held my head up high, people liked me.
In high school I even became the class president, but on the inside I still felt like a monster. All I really wanted was to look like everyone else. When things got really bad, I would cry to my mom and she would look at me with loving eyes and say, “Hold your head up high and face the world. Let them see the beauty that is inside instead of your appearance.”
My mom’s love was the spark that gave me confidence. I had faced hardships, and learned not only to appreciate myself but to have deep compassion (同情) for others.
“Hold your head up high” has been heard many times in my home. I say it to my children. The gift my mom gave me lives on.

58. Why did the writer’s mum say “Hold your head up high” to her?

61 Problems with friends, parents, girlfriends, husbands, and children—the list goes on. Apart from these, the inner conflicts within us work, too. These keep adding to our problems. Problems come in different shapes and colors and feelings.
But good news is that all problems can be dealt with. Now read on to know how to solve your problems.
Talk, it really helps. What most of us think is that our problem can be understood only by us and that no talking is going to help. 62 Talking helps you move on.
Write your problems. 63 When you write down your problems, you are setting free all the tension from your system. You can try throwing away the paper on which you wrote your problems. By doing this, imagine yourself throwing away the problems from your life.
Don’t lose faith and hope. No matter what you lose in life, don’t lose faith and hope. Even if you lose all your money, family, you should still have faith. 64
Your problems aren’t the worst. No matter what problem you get in life, there’re another one million people whose problems are huger than yours. 65 Your problems might just seem big and worse, but in reality they can be removed.
