Here are three toys on the 2016 US hot toy list．

Why？it has something to do with the quality of the toys．Companies are not allowed to lie．But they can try to make you believe that you want something．Keeping your eyes open for these marketing tricks（策略）．

Showing Famous Faces

Why is Simone Bile's picture on your breakfast box？Why does Taylor Swift drink Diet Coke？They may love those products．But they're also paid by those companies．Companies invite stars，and even cartoon characters to stand up for the products．

Forcing FOMO

FOMO stands for Fear of Missing Out．If you think you won't be able to get a product because it's selling quickly，you're more likely to rush to buy it．That's why you see "limited edition（限量版）" products．Apple，for example，uses this rule when it gives out limited numbers of new photos to create shopping excitement．

Creating Collections

Think Shopkins．The company creates groups of products，like ice cream balls and teacups．Then it tries to advise you to buy them all to complete your collection．Many products have found success this way．Then they ended up in a box in your house．Ask yourself：Do I want this because I like it？Or am I just trying to collect more than my friends？

Playing Mind Games

Marketers want you to think that buying their product will change you in some way．They want you to thing "buying this brand（品牌） is going to make you cool，happy，or popular，"says Professor Ahern．Marketers try to control your view of the brand by using a story，imagery，music，or people．Then，whenever you're about to buy something，they hope that image will pop into your mind，making you choose their product over anther．

So now you know．This Black Friday，be sure to shop smart．

B．By going to the dance class．

C．By practicing music for charity．

D．By listening to some nice music．

A neighborhood party is a great way to raise money for a charity．You can also celebrate a 　　（假期） or get to know each other in your neighborhood．

Before you begin，you first need to work out where to have the party．Community centers or 　　（教堂） are often available for it．If the weather is nice，many people 　　（更喜欢） to have the party outside．It could be a 　　（公共的） place like a park or a street．

Next，ask your friends and neighbors who are 　　（有耐心的） to help．Volunteers are important for making sure the party runs successfully．Get plenty of people to help tell others about the party，set up the party，and 　　（最后） clean up after the party．

　　（在…期间） the party，many activities are organized for kids so that they can enjoy 　　（他们自己）．At most parties，food and drinks are served．The best parties are when everyone brings something to 　　（分享）．There's no better way to bring the community together and 　　（传播） love and joy than to throw a party! After all，that's what being part of a neighborhood is about．

Two simple words "thank you" have made a big difference to thousands of fireman in New York City．

Savannah is 　　 girl form Texas．"I was trying to think 　　 I could help them out，"she says．After hearing about sacrifices（牺牲） made by fireman，she 　　（move） by the risks they face，　　 Savannah made 200 thank﹣you cards for them．"I want to show how much I care about them．"
