One day, I picked up my daughter Eloise from school and went to the supermarket for a few things. I was hoping to be in and out 1.
I found a short line with just one person in front of me. It was a/an2woman, and she was paying for her things with only 3. After a long day at work, I was unhappy with this old woman.
But then I watched the young clerk(职员). He helped her 4 her change, so carefully taking it from her shaking hands. I 5 him repeatedly(重复地) say to her: “Yes, madam.” When she asked if she had enough to buy a bag, he told her she did. Then he went two lines over to get6 for her. Never once did this clerk get annoyed or roll his eyes. He was patientand kind.
As I was watching him, I saw Eloise was too. I realized that my daughter was learning an important 7 from a complete stranger.
8 the woman was finished, the clerk began ringing up (把……的费用相加) my things and thanked me 9 my patience. I thanked him too.
Then we left the supermarket with a full bag, but also with a 10full of thankfulness for such an important lesson.

From a large elephant to a small mouse, animals live happily together in Disney's Zootopia. Language: English Running Time: 1 Hour and 30 Minutes Price: Weekdays—$50 $25 (children under 6) Weekends—$60 $30 (children under 6) |
I've never imagined the movie is so interesting. There are 64 kinds of animals in it. After I watched the movie, I learned more about animals. I would highly recommend this movie to those animal lovers.

I have seen many cartoons of this kind, but this one is surprisingly funny and I love the sweet voice in it. My brother and I just couldn't help laughing from the beginning to the end.
—— David
This movie is so well made. I went to see it with my 5-year-old son last Sunday afternoon. I love the beautiful music while my son loves the rabbit police officer Judy very much. It shows that small animals like her can also do serious work.

A Bite of China
Are you aneating-lover? Do you want to eat every delicious food in the world? Then do you watch the popular program A Bite of China? It's a TV program on Chinese delicious food which has been produced by CCTV. Is there any holiday that isn't celebrated with special festival food? Here are several traditional Chinese foods:
Noodles are asymbol 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 Chinaa 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 Zongzi is meant to remind us of a great man, Qu Yuan in Chinese history.
Have you ever dreamed about sending a letter to yourself or your friends in the future? While express mail(快递) is a fast way to send your letters, there is another type of mail appearing in China as a new business—future mail.
“The letter should be sent next Mother's Day and not a day earlier!” Lin Xiaofan, acollege student in Shanghai, tells one of the companies offering the service.
Lin Xiao fan wrote the letter to her mother nearly a year earlier to express her love to hermother for next Mother's Day.
“Offering thisservice makes people slow down and lets them understand the meaning of ‘time'in another way,” said Zheng Zhimin, manager at a “future mail” company. Zheng thinks “future mail” letters help remind us of care, friendship and love.
While “futuremail” is becoming more and more popular, some people are wondering what will happen if the postal address changes or if the company goes broken before theletters arrive.
Zheng said customers are glad to sign a contract(签订合同) to make sure that they canbe compensated if their letters are lost or damaged.
Most of the customers are college students and young white-collar(白领) workers. Psychologists (心理学家) said that young Chinese might have a new way to express their feelings through this service. Most peopleput their hopes and wishes in the letter so that they can experience the connection(联系) between the past and the present when they receive theletter.
Save the world's trees
"When it comes tothe Earth, there is no time to waste." says the Earth Day Network. And that isright. Protecting our environment is very important, and World Earth Day wascreated in 1970 to ask more people to protect our environment. On April 22, peoplearound the world celebrate Earth Day.
Every year thereis a special topic, and this year it is "Trees for the Earth", so Earth Daythis year will be all about planting trees. They are planning to plant 7.8billion trees within the next five years.
That's a biggoal, and you might wonder why trees are so important. Because they can take incarbon dioxide (CO2) and protect the air quality(质量). CO2 isa chemical in our atmosphere, but humans make too much of it. Each person makesabout 2.3 tons a year, which is bad for the environment.
Well guess what!Planting new trees is important because people cut down a huge number of trees.Last year, there were 3 trillion trees in the world, about 139 billion inChina. But according to China Daily, the world's total number has been almostcut in half since human civilization(文明) began. That's because 15billion trees are cut down every year.
So we need toplant more to make up for（弥补）the ones we lost. One treecan take in 21. 8 kilograms of CO2 per year. And it's still one ofthe cheapest and best ways to get rid of CO2.
But don't forget that we can also help the environment by cutting down on how much energy(能源) or water we useevery day. Every little thing helps.

Luckily, she met her good teacher, Miss Sullivan the age of seven. Helen was getting happier every day. Then, Miss Sullivan helped her learn how to write English words. Atfirst, Miss Sullivan wrote some words on Helen's hands with her own fingers again and again. Helen was a very girl. She tried as much as possible to remember words. After that, she wrote many famous works. The Story of My Life is one of .
