One day, my son Adam asked me,"Are all people the same even if they are different in color？"
I thought for a minute, and then I said, "I'll explain, 1 you can just wait until we make a quick 2 at the supermarket. I have something interesting to show you."
At the supermarket, we 3 some apples——red, green and yellow ones. Back home, I told Adam, "It's time to 4 your question." I put one apple of each kind on the table. Then I looked at Adam, who had a 5look on his face.
"People are like apples. They come in all 6colors, shapes and sizes. On the 7, some of the apples may not even look as the others." As I was talking, Adam was 8 each one carefully.
Then, I took each of the apples and peeled（削皮） them, placing them back on the 9but in a different place. "Okay, Adam, tell me which is which."
He said, "I 10 tell. They all look the same now."
"Take a bite of 11 . See if that helps you 12 which one is which."
He took big bites, and then a big smile came across his face. "People are 13 like apples. They are all different, but once you 14 the outside, they're pretty much the same on the inside."
He totally 15 it. I didn't need to say or do anything else.
WHICH FAMOUS PERSONS IN HISTORY WOULD YOU LIKE TO MEET AND WHY?
For me it would clearly be Leonardo da Vinci. I'd love to meet him. He was not just an artist. He seems to know a number of things that only came about hundreds of years later, like flying machines and so on. I'd like to tell him he really did see the future. Naomi, Chicago |
I'd choose Cleopatra — the last king of ancient Egypt. It was said that she was very beautiful and she developed some really useful political alliances （政治联盟）. Not many women were so clever and powerful in ancient times. I'd like to have seen how she did it. Lucinda, Nairobi |
I'm Latin American, so I would name Simon Bolivar as the person I would like to meet. He was a brave leader and helped develop independence（独立） for several countries in Latin America in the nineteenth century. Patricia, Caracas |
I studied philpsophy(哲学), so I would like to speak face-to-face with the Great Chinese philosopher Confucious. I'd like to discuss with him about his political philosophy and his idea about family values. Even though he lived over two thousand years ago, some of his opinions are still meaningful. Li Yun, Shanghai |
A boy called Mario had many friends, and he was proud of it. One day, his grandpa said to him, "Mario, I know you don't have as many friends as you think. Many of them are not true to you."
Mario thought maybe his grandpa was right. However, he wasn't sure how he could test if his schoolmates were real friends, so he asked his grandpa. The old man answered, "I have just exactly what you need. It's in my room. Wait a minute." The old man left, soon returned as if carrying something in his hand, but Mario could see nothing there.
"Take it. It's a very special chair. Because it's invisible, it will be hard for you to sit on it. However, if you can sit on it, you can use the chair's magic power to tell who your real friends are."
Mario took the strange invisible chair to school. He asked everyone to form a circle around him and he put himself in the middle, with his chair.
Nobody moves. "Wait and see something amazing," said Mario. Then he tried to sit on the chair. Having difficulty seeing it, he missed and fell to the ground. Everyone had a pretty good laugh. Mario didn't give up. He kept trying to sit on the magic chair again and again. Finally, he did it. To his surprise, this time he felt himself in mid-air.
Looking around, Mario saw George, Lucas and Diana holding him up, so he wouldn't fall. But some schoolmates who he had thought as friends did nothing but made fun of him. Mario was quite thankful to his grandpa for helping him test who his true friends were.
Libraries give kids a quiet and safe place to read and learn. For over 100 years, libraries have played an important role in Americans education. But how are these book-filled buildings changing with the times? You may be surprised to find out.
Benjamin Franklin famously set up America's first lending library in 1731. But the public library system got its biggest development in the American history in the late 1800s. Businessman Andrew Camegie donated（捐赠） millions of dollars to help build free public libraries across the country.
Camegie believed that libraries could offer the chances to Americans, young and old. He knew that the more libraries there were, the more people would have chances to read and use books, speeches and news.
If you can easily find a public library, you'll get more chances. After all, the United States has nine thousand two hundred and twenty-five public libraries. Today, libraries keep growing. Three quarters of the libraries have the free Internet. It offers much more information and chances to ask for jobs online. Libraries are also teaching kids about the fun of reading. Today's libraries are always looking for creative programs to bring people into and the library.
Benjamin Franklin once said, "The doors of wisdom are never closed." As long as the doors of public libraries are open, what he said is most certainly correct!
① The public library system in America developed fast.
② The first lending library was set up.
③ Libraries provide information and chances to ask for job online.
④ Libraries try to bring people into the library by using creative programs.
①When it comes to Chinese students thinking about studying in foreign countries, many of them usually believe that life will be easy and enjoyable. Unluckily, it seems that students with those beliefs will be disappointed very soon after landing at the airport.
②So, what are the problems you may have, and how can you deal with them?
③Teaching and learning styles in America are very different from those in China, in need of more critical thinking（批判性思维）and teamwork. In most American classrooms, they do activities in a study group in which every person has their own responsibility(责任).
④So don't worry about your language or any grammar mistakes. Just watch what other students do, and don't be afraid to ask any questions. The discussions, or sometimes even arguments, that your group members and you hold, are probably to be the beginning of a friendship.
⑤Besides schoolwork, another important thing faced by overseas students is homesickness or loneliness. You may miss your parents cooking, your pets, or even your old bed. Being away from home can create bad feelings, especially when faced with the problems of getting used to a new environment.
⑥What I strongly suggest is to try hard to deal with these feelings. Be open to new friend-ships. Be active in school activities, and allow yourself to enjoy life at school, even if you miss home a lot. Keep a diary to check your progress. Write down three new things that you're thankful for every evening, as well as three things you're looking forward to every morning.
⑦Studying aboard is never simple. In fact, there will be many difficulties every day. But I'm sure you will overcome your difficulties and make your time overseas a success.
