As a well-known Chinese TV hostess（女主持人）, Dong Qing is now hosting two cultural shows, Chinese Poetry Conference and Readers. The two shows are encouraging people to love traditional culture and find the beauty of life.
Dong was born in 1973. She had a great love for traditional literature（文学）from an early age. In 2015 when she was about to study in the U. S, Dong received an invitation from the director of Chinese Poetry Conference asking her to be the hostess. Because of her passion for traditional literature, Dong accepted the job.
"The contest（竞争）interests me very much. Hosting it is a way of learning about poetry and performing," said Dong. To her great joy, the show has become more and more popular.
Under the slogan（口号） "Reading touches people's hearts", the new TV show Readers has become a success. It invites famous people from all walks of life to read something. Dong works as both hostess and producer（制片人）.
Readers became a turning point in Dong's 21 years of hosting. She said it brought her "quite a huge challenge".
"There is no shortcut（捷径）in this world. If you want to be a good host, you need to make good preparations," said the beautiful hostess.
Where will you plan to travel this summer holiday? You may plan to visit Tsinghua and Peking universities. And you won't be alone. Every summer, lots of tourists travel to these two top Chinese universities.
Tsinghua university opens to the public（公众）at 8∶30, however, many visitors start to line up（排队）at 3-4 a. m. , because people who come at 6 a. m. will be too late and can only enter in the afternoon. In fact, it's not only Chinese universities that are overcrowded（过度拥挤的）in summer. Cambridge and Oxford in the United Kingdom also meet the same problem. Cambridge is usually filled with tourists, including Chinese schoolchildren in uniforms. Universities in America are also popular among Chinese tourists. Nine out of ten Chinese visitors to America want to visit a university.
So why do Chinese tourists have such a big love for famous universities? One reason is that many parents hope to get their children to go to a top university in the future. Wang Yan, 15, who comes from Changsha, visited two famous American universities in 2018. "American universities are different from Chinese ones. There are no walls. " He told The New York Times.
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'll 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（空的）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 continue, "Reading is like holding water with the basket. Although we can't remember all we read, we have changed while reading. "
