U.S. billionaire Bill Gates went to watch a game of his friend, U.S. teen player Ariel Hsing, at the ExCel Centre while the girl was playing against Chinese Li Xiaoxia.

Gates wore an orange jacket and dark blue baseball cap. He sat in the front row of the spectators’ stand (观众看台) and applauded (鼓掌) for every point Hsing scored.

“I’m wishing her the best of luck, but the opposite player is really great,” Gates said.

Hsing was in her third match at London 2012. She had already beaten Mexico’s Yadira Silva and Luxembourg’s Ni Xia Lian.

Hsing is known in the U.S. as a close friend with billionaires Warren Buffett and Gates. She is close enough to call them “Uncle Warren” and “Uncle Bill”.

Buffett met Hsing when she was only 9. Two years later, he invited her to play against his friends. She has returned several times after that. Earlier this year after winning a position on the U.S. team, she took a few points off Buffett and Gates.

When asked whether he has won a point off Hsing, Gates said, “She beat me when she was nine. She has been nice to me.”

　　Everyone has his own birthday. People celebrate their birthdays in different countries in different ways. Now here are four people from different countries. They will tell us how they celebrate their birthdays in their countries.

　　Sandy Morison comes from Madrid(马德里). He says happily, “My twenty-first birthday is on Saturday, and I'm going to go out with some friends. To wish me a happy birthday, they're going to pull on my ear 21 times, once for each year. It's an old custom(习俗). Some people pull on the ear just once, but my friends are very traditional.”

　　Mr. and Mrs. Sato are from Tokyo. Mr. Sato is going to be 60 tomorrow. In japan, the sixtieth birthday is called Kanreki－it's the beginning of a new life. The colour red is for a new life, so we always give something red for a sixtieth birthday. Mrs. Sato says, “What am I going to give my husband? I can't say. It's a surprise!”

　　Li Xiaomei from Beijing feels very excited and tells us, “Tomorrow is my sixteenth birthday. It's a special birthday, so we're going to have a family parry. I'm probably going to get some money in ‘lucky’ envelopes(信封) from my relatives. My mother is going to cook noodles－noodles are for a long life.”

　　Phillip Evans, from Paris, smiles to us, “I'm going to be 30 next week, so I'm going to invite three very good friends out to dinner. In France, when you have a birthday, you often invite people out. In some countries, I know it's the opposite－people take you out.”
