On a Saturday morning in New York, Nina Roedeler walks to Astoria Park. It's a rainy day, and there are not many people in the street. She enjoys the quiet. A little before 10 p. m, she reached a folding table set up on a patch of grass.

"Morning, Jen!" Nina greets the volunteer who will help sign people in and out and write down their information. Then she walks over to a truck. Nina pulls the doors open, looking at each of these black boxes.

 This is the reason why she comes here: the dogs.  

Nina never kept the dogs in the past. She had a rabbit for a short time, but that was all her family had room for in their small apartment in Germany. It wasn't until she moved to New York City as an adult that she wanted to keep a dog. Then Hurricane Sandy hit. Nina opened the newspaper one morning and was shocked to read that thousands of dogs had lost their homes because of the storm. "What should I do?" she said to herself, "I have a car and I can help. "

Friends with Four Paws is a non-profit(非营利的) organization. It saves dogs in Oklahoma, takes care of their medical needs, and then places them in loving homes across the country. Nina found that Friends with Four Paws needed help. Soon she became a member of the organization and spent her weekends transporting dogs all over New York, New Jersey. . . At times, Nina had as many as five dogs in her car. She began calling herself "the dog chauffeur(司机)". She has helped the transports grow from seven dogs a month to 30 and spends most of her time interviewing those families that want dogs and matching dogs with possible owners.

Once a month she hosts Transport Day in Astoria Park, where the families can pick up their dogs. Today, she hopes more dogs can find their homes. "It's my favorite day of the month. " Nina says, "I feel like Santa Claus!"

You haven't truly visited a city until you've experienced its nightlife. Watching a big city like London gradually turn dark and darker into the night is a beautiful journey of time and light. So how about taking a historical evening walk and touching some of the nicest areas in central London? Let's get started.

 6:30 pm 

 The walk starts on the Millennium Bridge. On the bridge, watch the scenic city across the River Thames with the skyscrapers(摩天大楼) gradually lighting up against the darkening skies. The Millennium Bridge has been featured in many London-based films, including Harry Potter, and the film Guardians of the Galaxy.  

 7:30 pm  

It's getting dark. A fifteen-minute walk northwest from St Paul's Cathedral takes you to the historic Borough Market. During the evenings, you find a lot of restaurants around the market. This is an excellent time to get your dinner.

 9:00 pm 

The next stop is London Bridge. This is about 6 minutes' walk from the Borough Market. As you join other onlookers and mentally go through the nursery school rhyme of "London Bridge is Falling Down", you get lost again in history. Why does the song say London Bridge is falling and who is the fair lady?

 During the London city fire of 1897, London Bridge served an important role in fire control. It was one of the major structures that prevented the fire from crossing over to the other side of London.  

 11:30 pm 

London never sleeps; it's a few minutes to midnight and everywhere is still filled with people moving around. About four minutes away from the Golden Jubilee Bridges is Trafalgar Square, our next stop.

 12:00 am 

It's been a beautiful evening, hasn't it?

 Dear Sir or Madam,

Jack was a hardworking student. By the middle of seventh grade, he was one of the top kids at school. He was attentive in class, did all his homework and felt good about himself. So he hadn't been too concerned when he was about to study in senior high school.

Right before the first day of senior high school, Dad sat him down at the dining table and had a serious talk with him. They talked about college. Specifically, Dad told Jack that college was expensive. College cost more money than a year's rent on their apartment. College cost more money than either Dad or Mom made in a year.

Jack didn't understand why anyone would want to go to college if it cost that much. Dad explained that not everyone paid that much. Some students, as Dad said, who worked very hard and got good grades, paid less or paid nothing at all to go to college. It was called a scholarship. Jack's eyes were wide open when he heard about this. Jack nodded, promising his dad that he would work harder and get a scholarship.

Just then, Mom walked in. "You are scaring him," she said, "Relax, son. Just do your best. Don't put too much pressure on yourself."

Dad shook his head, "That's not enough. He needs to make sure he has options in the future."

"Of course, he will," Mom said, "As long as he tries his best, he'll have a good future."

Even though Jack knew what his mom was trying to say, he still decided that he wanted to give it a try. If he tried his best, if he worked hard enough in senior high school, then he could get into college without having to pay a ton of money. That night, he promised himself that he would try to get a scholarship.
