On a farm lived a father and a son. The father always got up early and read books by the stove. One morning the son came up to him and said, Dad, I read books at night but forget most of them the next morning. What's the good of reading?"
The father didn't reply to his question at once. He passed him a basket that was used to carry coal. He said, "Get some water from the river with the basket and then I' tell you the answer."
The son felt surprised but he did as his father said. He tried many times but every time the water leaked(漏掉)from the basket.
An hour later, the son came back with the empty basket and told his father it was impossible to hold water with the basket. The father said with a smile, "Yes, you are right, my son. The basket can't hold water. But did you notice the basket was different?" The son found the dirty basket had become clean. The father continued, "Reading is like holding water with the basket. Although we can't remember all we read, we have changed while reading. "
You want to know about my staying in America, right? Well, to tell you the truth, it is really an eye-opening experience to study here.
In China, I had English classes five times a week since fifth grade. However, I didn't know how different textbook English could be from everyday English until I came to Hotchkiss School, Connecticut.
When I first studied English, I was told to say, "I am fine" when people say "How are you?" But in the US, I found that people say, "I am good" or "I'm tired". One day, someone greeted me with "What's up?" It made me confused. I thought for a moment and then smiled because I didn't know what to say. Since then, I have discovered more differences between Chinese and US cultures
To my surprise,US girls spend a lot of time in the burning sun to get a tan(晒票). However, in China, girls try every possible way to get their skin paler, or "whiter".
I was also surprised by how hardworking US students are. In China, schoolwork is almost everything, so we study hard and that's it. But here, a "good" student gets good grades, does a lot of for the public and plays sports or music. The kids here are so talented, I am starting to be sorry that I gave up playing the piano at an early age and that I have never thought about sports.
An elderly couple has been providing free kitchen services for families of cancer patients for nearly 20 years. They have been honored as "People Who Moved China in 2020"for their kindness.
Wan Zuocheng and his wife Xiong Gengxiang started running a restaurant near a cancer hospital in Nanchang, Jiangxi Province, in 1993. . They late set up a breakfast stall(排位). . :
In 2003, a woman went to their stall to borrow their stove to cook food. Her child was receiving treatment for bone cancer in the nearby Jiangxi Cancer Hospital. She said her kid wanted to eat food cooked by her. Wan Zuocheng immediately agreed to lend the stove to her. Since then, more and more families of patients from the hospital came to their stall to cook. The couple generously(慷慨地)allowed them to use their cooking things for food.
Their kind action came with a price. With the rising prices(物价),those who borrowed their stoves started paying to the couple, However, the couple only accepted 0.5 yuan for each dish cooked. And they rose it to 1 yuan in 2016, which was just enough to cover the costs.
The couple's income mainly comes from selling breakfast. And Xiong Gengxiang said they never wanted to make money by lending their stoves to cook things for patients.
Every day, Wan Zuocheng gets up before 5 am, lights the stoves and boils hot water, making everything ready for people who will come to the "cancer kitchen". Their kind action brings warmth to the patients and their families,
There was once an old and deep well(水井). The rope passed over a wheel(轮子)just above the well. On the other side of the rope(绳)was another bucket. (桶)
A strong pull brought one bucket to the top while the other down to the water. They always passed each other on the way up and down, but never had time to speak.
At last, the rope became worn(破了). While this was being done,the two buckets were left standing together near the well.
"What a boring life we have!" said one bucket to the other, " No matter how full we come up, we are always sent down empty. "
But the other bucket laughed and said, "Don't you sec that whenever we are sent down empty, we always come up full?"
Boys and girls sometimes talk like these two buckets. You may hear one of them say, "Just as we are having a good game, we are made to stop and go to work again. ""Yes, " the other will reply, "but as soon as work is over, we always get to go out and have fun again"
