In ancient China, when relatives or friends said goodbye, people often broke willow branches down and gave them to those who would leave, and hoped they would come back. In Chinese, "willow" has the similar pronunciation to a Chinese word "留", which means asking a person to stay. It's not "goodbye" but "see you again soon". At Beijing Winter Olympics Closing Ceremony, the whole world enjoyed an amazing performance. The performers perfectly acted with the LED floor to show the picture of willow branches. It showed the strong feelings of a sad but sweet goodbye. 365 people holding willow branches were in the center of the Bird's Nest, showing the missing of 365 days. It fully showed the theme of "One World, One World". |

A famous person once said, "We live much happier lives when we are generous(慷慨的) in as many ways as possible."
I love persimmons(柿子). A few years ago, ready to fly from San Francisco to Boston, I packed two persimmons, one of which I ate in the waiting room. A lady asked me from which store in the airport the fruit was bought. She looked a bit disappointed hearing that it couldn't be bought from any store in this airport. I thought to myself, "I can give the second persimmon away." When I offered her the fruit, at first she refused, but when I insisted (坚持), she became glad and accepted. I felt happy to make someone else happy, and I thought it was the end of the story.
Sometime during the flight, the lady met me in the aisle(过道) and thanked me again. She shared that she had grown up in Russia, where there was a persimmon tree in the yard of her childhood home. She now lived in Boston, where she hadn't been able to find the fruit. The taste of the persimmon was valuable to her, reconnecting her with memories of her family.
Only then did the tiny act make a difference to me. As a famous saying goes, "_______" The taste of the persimmon that I offered to the lady gives me more joy than all the ones I have eaten.
When Yang Fan was taking a walk around the Yuliang Island, she saw a black swan(天鹅) in the grass. Yang Fan knew that swans could be fierce(凶猛的). But as she got close to this one, it didn't move.
She was sure that the swan needed help. So Yang covered the bird's head with her jacket to keep its cool, picked it up carefully, and held it in her arms. She decided to send it to the Animal Care Center, but the center was across the Han River, far from the park. She didn't know how to carry the swan there. Luckily, some strangers driving by gave her and the swan a lift to a nearby bus stop.
On the bus, no one seemed surprised by "the unusual passenger". Instead they were worried. Someone helped Yang Fan call the center on the way. And Li Tao, an animal-care manager, picked her up at the bus stop and drove them to the center. There, the animal doctors found that the swan was poisoned, caused by eating something used to kill mice. The swan was well looked after at the center. She even made a friend- a little dog. Thanks to people's love and care, luckily, she was cured(治愈) two months later.
"It's a moving story. Yang Fan travelled about two hours and it was really a long way." Says Li Tao. "And all the strangers wanted to give her and the swan a hand." He adds, "I am happy to see that more and more people have realized the importance of protecting the wild life since Xiangyang began to build the civilized(文明) city."
①She was found by Yang Fan. ②She ate something wrong.
③She was cured. ④She made friends with a dog.
⑤She was sent to the Animal Care Center.
Do you want to celebrate your birthday in space? It would be very different from what you might do on earth. For example, your birthday cake would be flying. The candles could not be lit because astronauts cannot start a fire in the spaceship. Voices are almost the only things that are not changed by being weightless, which means that everything has almost no weight in space.
Some astronauts feel sick for the first few days in space. Some feel as if they have a cold all the time. That's because without gravity(引力), the fluids( 液体) in their bodies move towards their heads. Their faces look a little fatter. .
And because gravity is not pressing on the spine(脊椎). The spine relaxes and stretches(舒展). But when they come back on earth, they shrink(收缩) to their regular height.
Since nothing has weight, astronauts can lift heavy objects easily. However, it is harder to stay still in space than to move around, so the astronauts always hold onto something or tie themselves to something.
| A. For the same reason, their waists get smaller and their chests get bigger. B. They can even lift each other. C. There are pieces of Velcro to stick things in order to keep them from floating around. D. Your friends could still sing Happy Birthday to You. E. Astronauts grow one or two inches in space. F. In space, bone and muscles get weaker. |
We can find Chinese people growing vegetables tirelessly in every corner of the world. When the Chinese move into a house in foreign country, they always grow vegetables in the garden. Even at the frozen South Pole( 南极), there's a "vegetable greenhouse" built up by the members of Zhongshan Scientific Research Station, which (true) provides enough vegetables. Such a difficult situation cannot stop those (science) love for vegetable growing.
Although more cheap and fresh vegetables (place) on the shelves of supermarkets, the Chinese people's love for growing vegetables themselves never goes away. Besides, some people even build virtual(虚拟的) farms in smart phones to get the (please) of growing vegetables.
Why do many Chinese grow vegetables in both daily lives and the virtual world?
Such love comes from the Chinese history. (fill) their stomachs, Chinese people have formed a tradition of hard work. In China's culture, working hard solves the stomach problem studying satisfies the hunger for knowledge.
And now, smarter technologies are used for growing vegetables. Even in the outer space, Chinese astronaut Jing Haipeng showed how he grew vegetables in (special) laboratory of Tiangong-2 space station. Nothing can prevent the Chinese people vegetable growing. The "Chinese vegetable gardens" (produce) hopes across the world, and they also carry the best wishes of the Chinese people to their ancestors.
