"In teaching the Chinese language, I succeeded in educating students in a simple way that fits everyone," al-Ansi said proudly, stressing that teaching Chinese has changed his life without doubt.
Al-Ansi expects that Yemen and China will work together to set up centers and schools for teaching the Chinese language in Yemen so that many young Yemenis can learn. "I hope that a branch of the Confucius (孔子学院),could be built in Yemen to teach the language and spread the Chinese culture to many years who are interested in learning the Chinese culture and language," he said. see that learning a foreign language may open a way of hope to a new life, such as getting ,more money and paving(铺平)the way to a bright future in the country that has experienced war for almost five years,

A 3-year-old boy who was lost in the woods for two days is now safe at home with his family. But Casey Hathaway told his rescuers(救援者) that he was not alone in the rainy, freezing cold woods. He said he was with a friend—a bear.
The child went missing on 22 January while playing with friends near his grandmother's house in North Carolina. When the other children returned but Casey did not, the family searched the area for almost an hour before calling the police.
Police formed a search team to look for the young boy in the nearby woods. But two days went by and—no Casey.
Then on 24 January, someone called the police saying he heard a child crying in the woods. Police followed up on the information and found Casey at about 9:30 that night. He was in good health.
Casey told the rescuers he had hung out with a black bear for two days, a bear he called his "friend".
The police officer Chip Hughes spoke with reporters from several news agencies. He said Casey did not say how he could survive in the woods for two days in the cold, rainy weather. "However, " the police officer said, "he did say he had a friend in the woods that was a bear with him. "

Unlike their parents and grandparents, most middle school students in China nowadays don't have brothers or sisters. This is because of our country's family planning policy (计划生育政策), which started in the 1970s.
This is one kind of family planning, but there are many others in different countries. According to a new report, family planning is a human right. It helps women better plan their education and work. It also helps the economy (经济) of developing countries.
The report was released (发布) by the United Nations Population Fund on Nov. 14. It mainly talked about family planning, human rights and development.
The report said that about 867 million women in developing countries now have ways to control (控制) when and if they are to give birth, but there are still 222 million women unable to exercise their right to family planning.
"Women and their children and families live healthier, longer lives because of family planning," said Dr Margaret Greene, the lead author of the report.
Margaret Hilda Thatcher was Britain's first female prime minister and served three terms in office. She is one of the greatest political figures of 20th century Britain.
Margaret Hilda Roberts was born on October 13, 1925 in Grantham, England She studied chemistry at Oxford University and was made chairwoman of the Oxford University Conservative Association(保守党协会). In 1951, she married a wealthy businessman, Denis Thatcher, with whom she had two children.
She often stated that she was brought up very strictly, "I owe everything in my life to two things: a good home, and a good education. My home was ordinary, but good in the sense that my parents were passionately interested in the future of my sister and myself. At the same time, they gave us a good education—not only in school, but at home as well. "
In 1970, Thatcher was appointed secretary for Education and Science. Five years later, she challenged Heath for the leadership of the Party and, to the surprise of many, won. In the 1979 general election, the Conservatives came to power and Thatcher became Prime Minister.
In foreign affairs, Thatcher had a close political and personal relationship with US president Ronald Reagan. She was nicknamed the "Iron Lady" by the Soviets. She visited China four times and made a great contribution to Hong Kong's returning to China.
Thatcher resigned as Prime Minister and leader of the Conservative Party in 1990. She remained in the House of Commons until 1992. In the same year, Thatcher was made a Baroness(贵族) by the queen and became a member of the House of Lords.
Reading Thatcher's whole life, it seems that she always knew what she wanted, and then she would put all her efforts into it to live her dream. She had a quick mind and an even quicker tongue. Her sense of self confidence and ambition(雄心) ruled her life from the time she was a small child, through her Oxford years and during her early years in politics.

When Mark first arrived in Thailand, he saw an old man selling something cheap in the street of Chiang Mai. The old man was one of the poor people in Chiang Mai and there was no (different) from beggars (乞丐). Most of them were some lonely old people. Their life was very hard.
Mark was a kind man, so he gave some change to him thinking. The old man told him to pick something he likes. Mark didn't choose (something) and left.
But the old man followed him (close). At first, Mark didn't think a lot, just supposing he wanted to go home. But when he went out very far and saw the old man still following him, he was a bit tired, (think) the old man must feel he was kind and wanted to beg more money from him.
Mark turned back and told him not to follow him he hadn't much money. But the old man seemed not to understand what he (mean), still following him. The bag on his back made him sweat(流汗) all over.
Mark happened (meet) his Thai colleague (同事) in the street and his colleague heard this. The colleague turned to ask why the old man was following his friend.
The old man said out of breath, "My son, you gave me money, but didn't want my things. I see you are a foreigner. I just want to follow you and show you the way. I can do for you is this."
Mark was shocked. He said he didn't know why, when he felt the old man was just his father.
