I was a single parent of four small children, working at a low-paid job. Money was always tight, but we had a roof over heads, food on the table, clothes on our backs, and if not a lot, always enough. Not knowing we were poor, my kids just thought I was serious. I had always been glad about it.

It was Christmas time, and although there wasn't money for a lot of gifts, we planned to celebrate with a family party. But the big excitement for the kids was the fun of Christmas shopping.

They planned weeks ahead of time, asking each other what they wanted for Christmas. Fortunately, I had saved $100 for presents to share by all five of us.

The big day arrived. I gave each kid a twenty-dollar bill and reminded them to look for gifts of about four dollars each. Then everyone scattered(散开). We had two hours to shop; then we would meet back at the gate.

On the way home, everyone was in high Christmas spirits, except my younger daughter Ginger who was unusually quiet. She had only one small, flat bag with a few candies. I was so angry, but I controlled myself and didn't say anything until we got home. I called her into my bedroom and closed the door, ready to be angry again. This was what she told me:

"I was looking around thinking of what to buy, and I stopped to read the little cards on the ‘Giving Trees'. One was for a little girl, four years old, and all she wanted for Christmas was a doll. So I took the card off the tree and bought the doll for her. We have so much but she doesn't have anything."

I gathered all the other kids and shared with them what Ginger had done.

……

According to my proposal, we all headed for the child welfare home nearby.

It is often challenging for teachers to make learning fun for students. If traditional methods of learning fail to capture students' attention, why not try a (create),approach?

One option is to provide students  opportunities to teach each other When children are given the  (responsible) for their own learning or the learning of others, they (encourage) to thoroughly understand the material  (make) opportunities for students to teach each other, teachers can assign each student  topic and ask them to prepare a lesson on that topic Once prepared, students can present the material (base) on their topic in front of the class.

Another approach is to have students work in pairs or small groups. Rather than immediately (seek) help from the teacher, students are required to rely on each other to solve any problems they encounter.

 (final), teachers can assign group projects to students,  will allow them to cooperate with their classmates, discuss problems together and make learning more enjoyable. When learning becomes engaging, students become more interested in it.

The Spring Festival is the most important festival for Chinese. This year, I decided to participate in all the activities organized for 1  students to celebrate the Spring Festival 

The preparation began a month ago, 2  our rooms with Spring Festival couplets(对联) and New Year paintings Later we 3  an activity to write Spring Festival couplets When I saw my teacher bring a special kind of pen, I became 4  to know what it was called In addition, we were going to use a brush to 5  Chinese characters on red paper Besides, there was another 6  thing called ink After 7  the tools needed for Spring Festival couplets, we started our 8  journey The teacher taught us how to hold a writing brush I tried to hold it, 9  it in the ink, and start writing carefully, but the 10  of the pen was too soft and I couldn't 11  it at all I was disappointed but I did not give up I carefully studied the teacher's 12  After several attempts , I wrote a line of words At this time, I found that my sleeves(袖子) were already filled with ink as I was too focused on13 .

Even so, I was very happy, because I felt that I had learned the 14 of writing calligraphy, that is, to hold the pen in the correct 15  Then I realized sometimes I have to experience something in order to understand it.

When you go on vacation next time, make sure to take lots of pictures of the wildlife you see. These photos can help save different types of wildlife because of a new field called" imageomics ". I mageomics uses computers to study pictures of wildlife and learn information from them.

Until recently, scientists didn't have the technology to analyze(分析) the data in wildlife photos. But now, machine learning and computer vision are helping researchers unlock valuable information hidden in these images.

There are platforms where people can share their wildlife photos, like eBird, iNaturalist and Wildbook. These platforms help scientists keep track of different species and create databases. If you have rare(稀有的) photos of wildlife, it's a good idea to share them on these platforms.

Scientists have limited time and resources to study all endangered wildlife in the world. By using artificial intelligence(人工智能) to analyze public photos, we can learn more about different species and their behaviors. This technology can even help us find things in photos that humans might miss.

It's important to use the collected information responsibly and protect it from poachers(偷猎者). If we do that, imageomics can not only help save wildlife but also contribute to other fields like medicine and agriculture.

I was talking to my friend Sandy about our children. Sandy had recently moved into the neighborhood with her four kids: Jane, Joe, Christopher, and her youngest, eighteen-month-old Kim. She seemed happy to have kids nearby, until she saw our dog, Sam.

Sam, our shiny black dog, loved to play with the kids and protect them. But Sandy had a fear of dogs, and she started to back away as Sam approached. I grabbed Sam's collar and made him sit, trying to ease Sandy's discomfort.

Sandy mentioned that she needed to get her kids ready to go to their grandmother's house. Just then, her door opened and her kids rushed out. Sandy shouted at them to stay away from Sam.

The kids huddled(蜷缩) around their mom, looking at Sam cautiously(谨慎地). Emma, my daughter, showed the kids how to approach a dog slowly and properly. The kids were won over by Sam's friendly nature, but I knew it would take some time for Sandy to change her viewpoint.

After that incident, we made sure that Sam didn't go near our neighbors without me present. One day, when the kids were playing across the street, I noticed the eighteen-month-old baby heading towards a small hill. I saw a car approaching and shouted to everyone to watch the baby. Without hesitation, Sam rushed out the door and ran across the street towards the baby. He ran to the boy in time to gently push the baby away from the oncoming car. The kids cheered, completely unaware of the danger. They thought Sam had come to play.

Within a year, Sam had made friends with all the neighbors. Even Sandy started to warm up to Sam and would occasionally come over to give him a hug.

Are you a fan of outdoor adventures? Do you enjoy scenic views to relax? Look no further, as the following destinations offer all that and more.

Athabasca Falls

Alberta, Canada

Water from the Canadian Rockies flows down into the waterfalls of Jasper National Park, creating a flow with wild energy. The falls are wheelchairs accessible, with a paved path taking admirers to a number of viewpoints. If visitors leave the path, they can explore both the upper and lower regions of the trail.

Akaka Falls Trail

Hakalau, Hawaii

A short half-mile hike is big on sights and low on hard activity. The well-kept ringlike trail guide visitors around to see a number of waterfalls, including the 442-foot main attraction, and beautiful local flora(植物群) among the famous landscape. Though there are no hills to climb, there are a number of stairways to go.

Nugget Falls

Juneau, Alaska

Located in Tongass National Forest about 12 miles from Juneau, the Mendenhall Glacier has produced Nugget Falls, a fan-like waterfall that leads into a lake. A series of short hikes allows for different views of the waterfall and icy surrounds, which are also known for frequent brown bear sightings.

Yosemite Falls

Yosemite Valley, California

Yosemite National Park is one of the oldest national parks in America and home to the fifth tallest waterfall in the world. Hikers can reach it by taking a 1-mile trail from the lodge or the 7.2-mile round-trip Yosemite Falls Trail route. Late spring is best, with the highest water flow. In the winter, the temperatures dip below freezing. A park admission fee applies.

Tom and Jane planned a holiday at the lake, and they decided to take their children, Tim and Sarah, with them. However, Tim and Sarah wanted: to visit Disney World for their holiday or hire a yacht (游艇) in Hawaii. Camping by the lake wasn't even on their list of holiday adventures.

"We can visit some of the islands too, " Jane said. "Your dad and I always wanted to explore the mysterious cabin on Moose Island. "

Mysterious cabin? The children were now far more interested in this lake holiday idea. 

"We might see Big foot, " Tim said.

"Or some unusual species!" Sarah turned to her parents. "We're in. When do we leave?"

The children's excitement quickly disappeared when they arrived at the lake. While their parents were carrying their suitcases inside, Timand Sarah stood on the path and stared at the cabin they'd be staying in for the next week, complaining about the smell around, the dust, and the various small insects.

"We're in nature now, kids. Enjoy the experience! Your dad is building a fire so we can have barbecued fish and potatoes baked in the coals. Isn't that great?"

Sarah choked. "I am not eating food cooked in coals! I want takeaway instead. "

"Me too. " Tim was about to cry. "Holidays are supposed to be fun, Mom. "

"Come on, guys. There's a lot of joy to be found in living a simple life and spending time together as a family. "

"People in the suburbs live a simple life, which is more like being homeless!" Sarah shouted

"Yeah, " Tim added. "How can there not be a single restaurant that delivers here? How do these people survive?"

"They eat coal potatoes!" Sarah laughed. "And fish they kill with their bare hands!"

Sarah ran away, and Tim followed. Jane buried her head in her hands. She realized she had to do something to correct their children's attitude towards simple life. After dinner, she told all about this to Tom, who agreed with Jane. Then they came up with an idea.
