Adam lived with his parents in one city while his grandparents lived far away in another city. Adam's parents usually took their son to his grandparents' house during summer holiday every year and stayed there for around 20 days. Adam's grandfather loved him very much and spent a lot of time playing with him. His grandmother always cooked delicious food for him. Adam loved his stay there. This continued for years. The boy grew up over time.

One day Adam said to his parents, "Now, I am old enough to go to grandparents' house alone. So, please let me go by myself. "

His parents didn't agree at first but Adam insisted(坚持). They finally agreed. But they were worried about his safety. So, they taught him everything he needed to know to travel alone.

The day came when Adam was to leave for his grandparents' house. And his parents came to see him off at the train station. When the boy was comfortably seated on the train, his parents got off and waited for the train to leave.

While waiting, the father went to the window and kept talking to his son. He handed his son an envelope(信封) from the window and said, "Son, if you feel afraid on the way, open this and read it. It will help you to calm down. "

The boy kept that envelope in his pocket carefully and said goodbye to his parents. When the train was ready to leave, the boy smiled and told his father, "I remember everything. Don't worry. "

At every station where the train stopped, people kept coming and going. The boy started feeling a little lonely. 

Most people dream of living in a big expensive house. But Tim Shea just wanted to find a place  could become his home. This 70-year-old homeless man had spent several years living on the streets until he became the first resident of a village filled  3D- printed little houses. 

Shea was chosen to be the first person (move) into Community First Village , a 51- acre site in Austin, Texas. The small houses in the village , like Shea's 400-square-foot home, were built by the Austin-based start-up company ICON.

Life wasn't easy for Shea before (live) in Community First Village. He lived in an RV(野营车) for most of his life. This made (he) stay away from people. " I think from my (person) experience of my former lifestyle, I developed a shell," Shea said. " I didn't feel secure(安心的)and any time I had the opportunity，I would hide. "

Luckily,(thing) changed when Shea got his new house. Since then, he has been meeting new people and making friends. "Now everything I do (be) just the opposite. I have many activities to do every day with others," Shea said.

The houses (design) by ICON have six different layouts (布局). Shea chose a home with an open floor. This way,  will be easier for him to use his wheelchair. 

My aunt came to my home with her six-year-old daughter Alice this morning. While my aunt was talking with my mom, my cousin felt a bit 1 . So I suggested I went out with her. My aunt happily 2 . We went to the park together. There we bought two 3 and started flying them. She jumped up and down and I knew she was 4 having great fun. And I must admit I haven't enjoyed myself like that for a long time.

Later, we sat down on a bench, looking at the gardens. As we were 5 there, Alice said, "What a great day today!" I smiled at her and agreed. I then started thinking about what we had done that day. We did something quite 6 , yet we were very happy.

Many people wait for their "best days". But I think today is our 7 day. That's a lesson I learn today. As adults, we often make plans 8 in order to have a great day. Some people think they can have a nice day through spending a lot of 9 . I think we should be more like 10 . They don't think about money or what will happen tomorrow. They 11 live in the moment and enjoy the moment!

We often hear the expression that we should live in the 12 . How do we do that? We're not doing such a 13 job. Remember today is important as we are exchanging a day of our 14 for it. Yesterday is a history. Tomorrow is a mystery. Today is a 15 . That's why it is called present. So seize the day!

Widespread descriptions of animals in pop culture could actually be hurting the animals' survival chances in the wild, a new research suggests.

Franck Courchampof the University of Paris-Sud was interested in the idea of "appeal" (吸引力) in animals. He wanted to know: What species do people consider appealing? And what are the influences of being appealing on populations of animals in the wild?

In a research published this month, Courchampand other researchers list the top 20 appealing species. They deemedlarge mammals living on land are appealing. Coming in first place are tigers, followed by lions, elephants, giraffes, panthers, pandas, cheetahs, polar bears, wolves, and gorillas. However, at least half of the interviewees didn't realize that five of the top ten most appealing species are threatened. It is strange that we do not protect the species we care about the most.

The study also finds that we are flooded with images of these creatures, even as they are becoming fewer in the wild. The study suggests that too much imagination might be creating a "virtual population" of the animals in people's minds, making them believe there are far more individuals in the wild than is exact.

The study authors suggest that companies who benefit from the use of these images should set as idea small percentage of their profits for protection efforts and informational campaigns. "That would be not only something fair, but something that could bring a win-win situation for them," Courchampsays. It could bring them positive public relation, for example. Besides, if a company's mascot (吉祥物) goes extinct, that could hurt them from a marketing point, Courchampsays. But not enough companies are "truly concerned about the protection of the species that they work on," he adds.

Learning doesn't have to end when people age. In fact, today's seniors want to remain socially engaged, intellectually stimulated (激发), and an active part of their communities according to a university in Lebanon. That's why the university opened The University for Seniors that gives older adults — 50 and up — an opportunity for lifelong learning.

Founded in 2010, the school has about 500 new students every year, even during the height of the pandemic when classes were virtual. The university includes two three-month semesters and students can take any class they want regardless of their educational level. There are no exams or graduation certificates. This school is all about lifelong learning. The available classes include political science, public health, agriculture, sciences, women's affairs, as well as creative classes in drawing, painting and music. Language classes include English, French and Spanish. The classes are taught by volunteers.

One student, Mariam Koubaissy, 85, took drawing classes because it was her childhood dream to learn to draw, but life got in the way. Her dream does not die, though. She said, "Now half a century later, my dream came true and I was proud to have walked through those gates. "

The university provides more than just education. Former banker Youssef Bakri, 84, has been a student for over 10 years. He said, "Studying is food for the brain, and among the various lectures, there are psychology lessons that support us very much at our age. "

Studies show that seniors can reapmany benefits by continuing to learn new things. Lifelong learning keeps the brain stimulated, challenged and fully engaged. This helps seniors remain mentally alert while they age. With the percentage of over 65s in Lebanon's population growing, The University for Seniors is filling a very important role in the lives of its students.

When I was a kid, my mom set aside some breakfast food for supper every now and then. I remember one night after a long, hard day at work, my mom placed a plate of eggs, sausage, and a plate of extremely burnt biscuits on the table. I waited to see if my dad would get annoyed. 

All my dad did was to reach for the biscuits, smile at my mom and ask me how my day at school had been. I don't remember what I told him that night but I do remember watching him add butter and jelly on that ugly burnt biscuit and ate every bite of that thing. He never made a face nor uttered a word about it!

When I rose from the table that evening, I remember hearing my mom apologize to my dad for overcooking the biscuits and I will never forget what he said, "Honey, I love burnt biscuits every now and then. "

Later that night I went to say goodnight to my daddy, and I wondered if he really liked his biscuits burnt. He wrapped me up in his arms and said gently, "Your mom put in a hard day at work today and she is really tired. Besides, a little burnt biscuit never hurt anyone!

As I have grown older, I've thought about that many times. Life is full of imperfect things and imperfect people. Learning to accept each other's faults and choosing to celebrate each other's differences contribute to a healthy, growing, and lasting relationship. We could extend this philosophy to any relationship, such as a husband-wife, parent-child, or friendship. Don't put the key to your happiness in someone else's pocket. Keep it in your own. So, please pass me a biscuit, and yes, the burnt one will do just fine.

Chengdu

It is an ancient cultural city, with two miracles in Chinese history. One is that its name has been the same for 2,000 years; the other is that it has always been the capital city of Sichuan region. It's a capital with a glorious history. 

A little boy selling magazines for school walked up to a house that people hardly visited. The house was very old and the owner hardly ever came out. When he did come out he would not say hello to neighbors or passers-by but simply just glare at them.

The boy knocked on the door and waited, sweating from fear of the old man The boy's parents told him to stay away from the house. A. lot of the other neighborhood children were told the same from their parents.

As he was ready to walk away, the door slowly opened. " What do you want?" the old man said.The little boy was very afraid but he had a quota(份额) to meet for school with selling the magazines.

"Uh, sir, I uh am selling these magazines and uh I was wondering if you would like to buy one."The old man just stared at the boy. The boy could see inside the old man's house and saw that he had dog figurines(小狗雕像) on the wall "Do you collect dogs?" the little boy asked. "Yes, I have many collections in my house. They are my family here. They are all I have." The boy then felt sorry for the man, as it seemed that he was a very lonely soul "Well, I do have a magazine here for collectors. It is perfect for you.I also have one about dogs since you like dogs so much." The old man was ready to close the door on the boy and said, "No, boy. I don't need any magazines of any kind, now goodbye."

The little boy was sad that he was not going to make his quota with the sale. He was also sad for the old man being so alone in the big house that he owned. The boy went home and then had an idea.He had a little dog figurine that he got some years ago from an aunt. The figurine did not mean nearly as much to him since he had a real live dog and a large family.

China is a land of porcelain, with a long history of ceramic culture. Known as China's "porcelain capital", Jingdezhen in East China's Jiangxi Province is home to a variety of porcelain, which the most famous one is "blue and white porcelain" or "Qinghuaci".

Qinghuaci (originate) in the Tang and Song dynasties,its technology didn't mature until the Yuan Dynasty. Qinghuaci made in Jingdezhen back then had full composition andComplex(pattern), pushing the art of Qinghuaci painting to a peak, and(establish) its prosperity and longevity in later generations.

Qinghuaci became the mainstream porcelain in the Ming and Qing dynasties The official kilns(官窑) produced Qinghuaci for the royal palace and the civil. ones for the folk market(compare) with the delicately made official Qinghuacl, the civil porcelain is free in style and theme.

Since the late Ming dynasty, Qinghuaci had gradually absorbed techniques of Chinese painting and reached its(art) peak. Due to the fragility of porcelain, the approach of the Age of Exploration made the Maritime(海豹) Silk Road the main world trade route forQinghuaci was shipped to more than 100 countries and regions, attracting more people to this beautiful porcelain.
