One day, I went to one of my favourite restaurants. When I walked in, a new waitress called Mary had a2for me. She told me how she had been out of work and down to her last $43. She was3 to a job interview and on the way saw a woman holding a baby and a sign that said, “My baby needs a doctor. Please help. ” She pulled over to the woman, reached into her purse(  钱包  ) and handed her “$3”. As she drove away, the woman 4, “Thank you, thank the Lord. ”

    Mary felt good about having given money to her even though she had only a little. But later she found that she handed the woman two twenties and a one 5 three ones. She couldn't believe she had almost given away her 6 money, with only $2 left.

    I told her not to be unhappy about the money, because perhaps that money was just what was needed for them to see a doctor and the woman might have been wishing for it.

    TV has become one important part of modern life. People enjoy themselves after hard work by watching TV. They can see some plays, some stories, some sports matches without going out of home, and without spending much money in buying tickets. TV programmes make people's life more interesting.

   People learn much from TV. Students can study by watching some educational programmes. People can see news, weather reports, programmes about science and computers.

    But not all the programmes are good enough. Today, there are some programmes about crime. Some people become bad because they learn from the bad people in those programmes. And watching TV usually takes too much time. It's not good for people's work and study. It's not good for their eyes either.

    Is watching TV a good thing or a bad one? I think it depends on people themselves. If one can choose good programmes and he doesn't spend too much time on TV, it can be a good thing for him.

    Are you a TV lover? Can you imagine living without TV? Well, you could give it a try.

    A group of Americans from TV-Turnoff Network(网络) have an idea. From 19 to 25 April, they are asking children all over the world to turn off their TVs for one week. They hope children will find more interesting things to do. Maybe they can read some books, or learn to swim, or paint a picture. Since 1995, about 24 million people in America have taken part in TV-Turnoff week.

    TV-Turnoff Network says watching TV too much can bring children big problems with school, health and family. They want kids to watch less TV. What do you think?

    Bad for children's studies

    American scientists did a study of 1, 300 children. They watched the children for four years. They say that if children watch lots of TV, they don't do well in school.

    Bad for children's health

    Studies show that when children watch lots of TV, they eat more unhealthy food. More children are getting overweight. Overweight children become ill more easily. Watching too much TV is also bad for their eyes.

    Bad for family life

    About 40% of American families watch TV at dinner time. That means that they don't talk very much when they eat together.

    Also, too many violent(  暴力的  ) things

    An American study says that before a child turns 18 years old, that child will see 200, 000 violent things on TV. Some kids become violent in real life.

    Nowadays, phone calls and messages help us get in touch with others. It means that we seldom write letters now. But a TV show, Letters Alive(《见字如面》), is bringing back this old habit.

    Letters Alive invites famous actors and actresses, but there are no funny jokes or competitions. It's just one person walking up to a microphone and reading a letter. The letters were written by people from different times in history. For example, in one period, they read a letter written by famous writer Xiao Hong to her younger brother in 1941. The letter shows that Xiao Hong missed her brother so much and had great hopes for his future.

     “Every letter opens another world for us, ” according to Guan Zhengwen, the director of the TV show. “We can also touch the heart of the writers'. ” Since its first period on December 5, Letters Alive has been widely praised. Many audiences said that it had provided a breath of fresh air to today's TV shows.

    Besides Letters Alive, some other cultural TV shows have also been well received by Chinese audience. Chinese Poetry Conference is a traditional Chinese poetry competition. And Readers invites people to read poems and articles they like or wrote. It suggests that cultural values and true feelings are becoming our interest.

    Are you an eating-lover? Do you want to eat every delicious food in the world? Then do you watch the popular programme A Bite of China? It's a TV programme on Chinese delicious food which was produced by CCTV. Is there any holiday that isn't celebrated with special festival food? Here are several traditional Chinese food.

    Noodles are a symbol of long life in Chinese culture. They are as much a part of Chinese birthday celebration as a birthday cake with its candles lit in many Western countries. Since noodles mean long life, it is considered very unlucky to cut it off.

    Although Westerners sometimes may be very sorry to see fish lying on the plate, in China a whole fish is a symbol of richness. In fact, at a party it is a tradition to serve the whole fish last, pointed towards the most valued guest. Fish also has a special meaning because the Chinese word for fish, yu, sounds like the word for richness or plenty, and it is believed that eating fish will help your wishes come true in the year to come.

    A very popular dish during the Dragon Boat Festival is zongzi. This tasty dish is made of rice dumplings with meat, peanuts or other delicious food in bamboo leaves. The tradition of eating zongzi is meant to remind us of a great man, Qu Yuan in Chinese history.

   Bring life to national treasures by singing

    At the beginning of 2018, a TV programme calledNationalTreasure introducing valuable cultural relics(  文物  ) of our country went popular. People learnt stories and had more interest in the treasures. Now, we have a new way to know more about the ancient paintings in the Palace Museum through music.

    Tencent's QQ Music and the Palace Museum together held a songwriting competition,Ancient Paintings CanSing(  古画会唱歌  ).

    The competition was open to songwriters between 17 to 35, and the songs must be based on ten ancient paintings at the Palace Museum. The winners could sing their works with pop singers at a concert held at the Palace Museum in October.

    Yi Yangqianxi, a member of the famous group TFBOYS, sang the theme song, Magnificent Landscape in Painting(  《丹青千里》  ), for the competition. The idea of the song came from the famous paintingAPanoramaofRiversandMountains(  《千里江山图》  ). It was shown in the TV programme and now it's in the Palace Museum.

    The writer, Fang Wenshan, wrote the lyrics(  歌词  ) of the song. He is famous for using cultural images in the lyrics. And the music is a modern style, including traditional Chinese musical instruments, such asguzheng andpipa.

    The music video of the song came out online on 25 July, 2018, which was also the beginning of the competition.
