When a heavy rain hit Beijing one afternoon in May, for many the first thing to do was to rush for cover. For photographer Yang Dong, however, his first thought was to take his camera. The next morning, Yang got up at 2:30 am and drove to the Great Wall. Arriving at the foot of the mountain an hour and a half later, Yang started to climb with all his photography equipment. Before sunrise, Yang had already set up his camera, hoping to catch an impressive moment when the Great Wall would be partly hidden in the clouds. With a large amount of patience, he got what he came for.

“After heavy rain or snow, the next morning is the best time to find a sea of clouds around the Great Wall,” Yang says in a phone interview. The 28-year-old became popular on the Internet sharing the stories behind his photographs of the Great Wall over the past five years, with his stories being viewed more than 150 million times. One Internet user comments: “Only repeatedly measuring the Great Wall step by step can he know which angle (角度) is the most beautiful. I have never met such a professional photographer like him.”

He is known as the Great Wall photographer, and his stories are well-known among the fans. What’s more, he was invited to play a lead role in the documentary (纪录片) Loving the Great Wall issued in January, and was also the spokesman for the 2019 China Great Wall International Foto Week.

【推荐2】Peter Damon produces about 30 paintings a year and sells them for between US$250 and US$1,500. That’s not enough to make ends meet, but it has made him whole again. He lost both arms in an accident.

“Having this skill that even normal people find difficult was something that really helped me and made me feel like I fit in more in the world,” Damon said.

He was a worker in a car factory. One day when he was working, there was a gas explosion (爆炸), killing one worker and injuring him.

“I lost my right arm above the elbow, about three inches above the elbow, and my left about six inches below,” he explained.

“How am I going to make a living and take care of my family? I had always worked with my hands,” he said.

Then with a simple little drawing, a new future opened up for him.

“I thought it was wonderful in a way,” Damon said. “Something was telling me to focus on this and everything will be alright.” Damon doesn’t have a perfect prosthetic arm (假肢)—just a hook (钩子), which he finds works best.

He and his wife Jen run True Grit Art Gallery in Middleboro, Massachusetts, where he shows the works of local artists. With his disability check from the government, he can afford to be an artist. He is a man doing what he wants with his life, and doesn’t look at his situation as a hard time.

“I don’t see it that way,” Damon said. “Suffering an injury like this has a way of making you focus on what’s important in life.”

He believes his best work is still ahead of him. But with his pictures of simple American scenes, Damon has already produced his best work.

1. How did Damon lose his arms?
A.A gas explosion injured his arms.
B.He was attacked when he was driving a car.
C.His arms were trapped by a worker by accident.
D.He was knocked down by a car when he was working.
2. What do we know about Peter Damon when he started taking up painting from the text?
A.His hope for life was brought back.
B.He felt a lot of pressure at the beginning.
C.He didn’t earn enough to support his family.
D.His paintings were so expensive that few people wanted to buy them.
3. What is Damon’s attitude towards his suffering?
A.Wonderful.B.Positive.
C.Pitiful.D.Uncertain.
4. What is the main idea of the passage?
A.Winners do what losers don’t want to do.
B.Nothing is impossible if you try your best.
C.God closes a door and another will open for you.
D.Never put off until tomorrow what you can do today.

【推荐3】I was headed out the door the other day with my two sons. We were going to drive to the local grocery(杂货) store to pick up a few things that we had run out of during the week. I shut the door quickly because my dogs were already barking at being left behind in the house. We headed down the hill but when I reached into my pocket for the car keys, they weren’t there. Shaking my head, I walked back up the hill and saw my keys still dangling from the hook(挂钩) where I always hang them.

This, of course, isn’t the only time I have forgotten something recently. In fact, it seems to be happening more and more. There isn’t a week that goes by that I don’t forget something and then remember it later in the day or misplace something and have to go looking for it. The medical professionals all reassure (使...安心)me that this is a normal part of getting older. They say not to worry about it and to take it with a smile. I am doing my best to do so.


I think I will be alright with my forgetful mind too as long as I can keep remembering the important things in life. I don’t mind misplacing my keys as long as I can remember that God loves me. I don’t mind forgetting what I came into a room for as long as I can remember what I am in this life for. I don’t mind being a bit absent-minded as long as I am being loving-hearted.

May you always remember the important things in life: You were created in love. You were created to love. You are called to kindness and made for joy. You can make a difference in this world with every choice you make.
