WHEN you give something, do you always want something back? Chinese TV host （主持） and pop singer Xie Na doesn"t see things in this way.

　　She thinks giving is one of the best things. She loves her friends and her work. She doesn"t want anything back. If you only think of taking, you won"t be happy, she says.

　　Xie says that she learned this from people around her.

　　Once she attended a program in which strangers （陌生人） gave gifts to each other. She started with her own CDs and then gave more expensive things.

　　To her surprise, others were happy to give her expensive things like scarves and beautiful belts （腰带）. A fan who gave her a necklace told her: I just want to make you happy. You are worth the gift.

　　I was moved （感动） and learned there is no price on friendship, Xie says.
