"Olyvia, love is simple You don't have to do much to make someone happy "My 1 said to me when I was a child. Over a year ago, I decided to go to a small town called Gary.

When I told my parents about the decision, they didn't 2  it at first They said I didn't know much about the place and they felt 3  After I explained my plan to them, they agreed 

When I arrived there, I noticed how 4  the town was from where I lived There were few stores or restaurants 5  you would be very lucky if you could find a place to buy something And my job was to help the local people to 6  the broken windows of houses The work days were long and hot, but it was really good to see the 7  taking on a new look day by day 

The children there were also different. Although they were poor, they seemed to enjoy every moment in life Even the 8  things would make these kids happy I couldn't find words to describe their 9 when they received an ice-cream or a ball. Everyone knew each other and was ready to help others. 

From this experience, I 10  learned the meaning of what my mother said Love is simple 

Last year, my friends and I went on a trip. We started early in the morning and traveled for several hours on a bus. When we arrived, everyone was tired. 

While we were getting off the bus, I noticed a young man, probably in his early twenties, standing very close to one of my friends. Suddenly, I realized that he was trying to steal my friend's wallet from her bag!I felt really nervous, but I knew I had to take action to stop him. Luckily, I saw two police officers standing nearby and got an idea. So I fell over and cried out painfully, The police heard that and came over to help. When they were by my side, I told them what was happening. They caught the thief right away. 

After that, we thanked the police officers and went on with our trip happily. 

Come and buy books at our great sale! Here is the information about some new books. You will get 50%off if you buy three or more books together. 

Fan Shenghua is one of the inheritors(继承人) of West Lake Longjing tea roasting technique(炒茶技艺). He has been making Longjing tea for more than forty years. 

Longjing tea leaves are famous for their color, taste and shape. 

"You have to touch the leaves with your hands to feel how much water is being removed(去除), "Fan said. "If too much is removed, the leaves will break into pieces; if not enough is removed. the tea will taste bitter(苦的). "

This traditional technique dates back to the Ming and Qing dynasties. It not only makes the tea taste good, but also has become an important part of Chinese tea culture. 

These days, however, more people are using machines to do the job. "It's easier, but the quality is not just as good, "Fan said. "Machine-made tea floats longer in water and tastes bitter. "

In March last year, when President Xi Jinping visited Hangzhou, he watched Fan roast tea. Fan changed the strength and movement of his hands as he roasted leaves. His skill was highly praised. The things made by two palms(手掌) cannot be replaced by modern technology. 

Fan is now teaching some young men. His son, a college graduate, is one of them. "It's a tradition. We need to pass it down, "he said.

The Baikal-Amur Mainline (BAM) is a railway line in Russia. It's about 4, 000 kilometres long. A special train, the Matvei Mudrov (MM) travels along it. The train brings basic medical treatment to people living along the railway line. The train took its name from a famous Russian doctor. There are usually between twelve and fifteen doctors on the train. The train stops at places along the line The people who live in small towns and villages come to the train for medical help. For them, their health centre is on the train because there are no doctors or hospitals in their towns or villages. 

The MM visits each town or village twice a year. People like the doctors on the train. They say they are kind and good at their jobs. There is a town called Berkakit and about 4, 000 people live there. There are lots of people waiting to see the doctors. Mikhail Zdanovich is one of them. When he was 61 years old, he had a problem with his arm. He got good treatment by the doctor on the train, and he felt much better. He left happily and then he came back a few minutes later. He brought fresh cooked bread and some milk to thank the doctor. 

For the people who live in these towns and villages of Russia, the MM is more than a medical train. It's a bridge between them and the other parts of their country.
