【推荐2】You can always see a beautiful sky at the top of the mountain, but you can’t see it before you reach the top.
Whenever the sun dropped and the blue sky came up, my father and I used to climb the mountain near my house. Walking together, my father and I used to have a lot of conversations through which I learned lessons from his experiences. He always stressed to me, “You should have objectives and capacity like the mountain.” This has largely influenced my life. Without such mountaineering opportunities, we wouldn’t have had enough time to spend together because my father was very busy himself. I believe mountaineering is really beneficial. It gave me time to talk with my father and to be in deep contemplation as well as develop my patience.
Once we climbed one of the highest mountains in our country. It was so challenging for me because I was only ten years old. During the first few hours of climbing, I enjoyed the fresh air, the birds’ singing, and the beautiful dances of butterflies; but as time passed, I got a pain in both of my legs. At that moment, I wanted to quit climbing. Actually, I hated it at that moment, but my father said to me, “You can always see a beautiful sky at the top of the mountain, but you can’t see it before you reach the top. You can always enjoy the scenes of many waterfalls, temples and countless peaks and valleys at the top of the mountain. Only there at the top, can you see all of those things, just like in life.”
At that time, I was too young to understand his words, but after that, I got new hope and confidence. Finally, I found myself standing at the top of the mountain. And there, I could see the whole of the sky, which was as clear as crystal.

Europe’s most beautiful towns Clovelly, the UK Donkeys (驴) used to be the only way to get up and down the streets of Clovelly, a pretty fishing village in Devon, southwest England. Today, villagers still haven’t managed to bring cars in because it sits at the bottom of a 400-foot cliff (悬崖) .Goods are transported by man-powered vehicles. If tourists can’t face the walk back up to the car park, they can take a ride in a special car instead. Dinkelsbühl, Germany Acute historic center, wood houses and solid towers—Dinkelsbühl has it all. It sits on the German Romantic Road, a route known for its attractive towns. Surrounded by medieval (中世纪的) walls with a huge church, it was the setting for a famous film named The Enigma of Kaspar Hauser. Giethoorn, Netherlands They call it the Dutch answer to Venice, but Giethoorn lacks one thing that the Italian city has: over tourism. As in Venice, life centers around the water. There are no cars in the downtown so the only way to get around is on foot or on the water. Take a boat tour around the houses sitting on islands. Hungry? Stop at the Michelin-starred restaurant Hollands-Venetië. Anghiari, Italy On a hillside, Anghiari is a delight—a tiny walled town. It’s a crowded area with narrow and up-and-down streets, full of grand palaces which were built by the mysterious “men of arms”. Find out more about them at a museum named the Museo della Battaglia di Anghiari, which traces the history of a medieval battle that took place on the plain outside town. |

Science on Sundays is a programme of free monthly science talks which always brings the latest discoveries in plant science, as well as research linked to the plant collection at the Botanic Garden, to the visitors in a 30-minute short period of time. The programme in April is about tulips(郁金香).
Introduction
Time: 2:30 pm on Sundays
Title: In Search of Wild Tulips
Objects: adults and children aged 12+
Speaker: Brett Wilson at University of Cambridge
Background Information
The planted tulips are a common sight in spring gardens around the world, but have you ever considered where wild tulips grow? The wild ancestors of our much-loved gardening varieties can mostly be found in the mountains and valleys of Central Asia, far from the Netherlands, where most tulips are grown and bred. At the Botanic Garden, we have a National Tulip Collection where we grow many wild species including plenty of species from Central Asia. Over the last four years, Brett Wilson has been using something learned from books and combining with fieldwork to understand the diversity of tulips, with a view of identifying which species are most at risk of extinction.
Come and listen to Brett speak about the research and the adventures that have occurred in our search to find and protect wild tulips in this remote corner of the world. These will be live face-to-face talks taking place in the Botanic Garden Classroom for those visitors with interest.

My name is Amy. I am 17 years old. I have a problem at school. Can you help me, Santa? Kids laugh at me because of the way I walk and run and talk. I have cerebral palsy. I just want one day when no one laughs at me or makes fun of me.
Love, Amy
At radio station WJLT in Fort Wayne, Indiana, letters poured in for the Christmas Wish Content. When Amy’s letter arrived at the radio station, Manager Lee Tobin read it carefully. He thought it wound be good for the people in Fort Wayne to hear about this special girl and her unusual wish. Mr. Tobin called up the local newspaper.
The next day, a picture of Amy and her letter to Santa made the front page of the “News Sentinel”. The story spread quickly. All across the country, newspapers and radio and television stations reported the story of the girl in Fort Wayne, Indiana, who asked for such a simple, yet remarkable Christmas gift—just one day without teasing.
Suddenly the postman was a regular at the Hagadorn house. Envelopes of all sizes addressed to Amy arrived daily from children and adults all across the nation. They came filled with holiday greetings and words of encouragement. Some of the writers had disabilities; some had been teased as children. Each writer had a special message for Amy. Through the cards and letters from strangers, Amy saw a world full of people who truly cared about each other.
Many people thanked Amy for being brave enough to speak up. Others encouraged her to ignore teasing and to hold her head high.
Amy did get her wish of a special day without teasing at South Wayne High School. Teachers and students talked together about how bad teasing can make others feel.
That year, the Fort Wayne mayor officially declared December 21st as Amy Jo Hagadorn Day throughout the city. The mayor explained that by daring to make such a simple wish, Amy taught a universal lesson. “Everyone,” he said, “wants to and should be treated with respect, dignity and warmth.”
