Once upon a time, a young man wanted to go to a village on business. Halfway there was a mountain. Before he left home, his family warned him to stay calm and climb onto trees if he was in face of beasts(野兽). In this way, the beasts couldn’t do anything to him. The young man remembered these words and began his trip.
He walked for a long time carefully and found no beasts were out there. He thought his family’s worries were unnecessary. And he became relaxed as he walked. Just at that moment, he saw a fierce(凶猛的) tiger running to him and he climbed onto a tree nearby at once.
The tiger roared(咆哮) around the tree and even jumped to reach the man. The young man was too scared to hold the tree and fell right on the back of the tiger. Full of fear, he had to hold the tiger tightly. The tiger thought that must be a giant beast. So it was afraid and started running madly.
People on the road didn’t know what happened and said, “Look at the young man. He is riding a tiger!” “Cool!” “Superman!”
Hearing these words, the young man was very angry. “Why can’t they see I’m suffering a lot? Don’t they understand I am in fear and almost scared to death?” he said to himself.

【推荐1】Once there lived a wise man. His son, however, was very lazy and did nothing all day. The wise man was worried about his son’s future. One day, he said to his son. “I want you to go to find some treasure. I have drawn a map to guide you.” Then he handed his son a bag. Inside the bag were clothes, some food, a little money and the map.
The son set out the next day. He had to travel across forests, rivers and mountains. Along the way, he was helped by some people with food and by some with shelter(住所). He came across robbers who tried to rob him. He also saw changing scenery and seasons.
Finally, after a long year, he got to the place his father said. He spent two days looking and digging for the treasure, but found nothing.
Disappointed, he headed back to his home. On his way back, he experienced the same scenery. Sometimes, he would stop to enjoy the beauty of nature. He also learned to hunt and make meals. He had to mend his own clothes and fix shelter himself. He was now able to tell time by the position of the sun. He met the same people who had helped him earlier. This time, he stayed and helped them in order to repay them.

【推荐2】Charlie entered the shop and laid fifty pence (便士) on the counter (柜台).
“One Wonka’s Whipple-Scrumptious Fudgemallow Delight,” he said, remembering how much he loved the one he had on his birthday.
The man behind the counter looked fat. He turned around and reached behind him for the chocolate bar, then he turned back and handed it to Charlie. Charlie grabbed it and quickly tore off the wrapper and took a big bite. Then he took another … and another… and oh, the joy of being able to put large pieces of something sweet and solid into one’s mouth!
“You look like you wanted that one, sonny,” the shopkeeper said pleasantly.
Charlie nodded, and his mouth was filled with chocolate.
The shopkeeper put Charlie’s change on the counter. “Take it easy,” he said. “It’ll give you a stomachache if you eat it like that without chewing (咀嚼).”
Charlie went on wolfing the chocolate. He couldn’t stop. And in less than half a minute, the whole thing had disappeared down his throat. He was quite out of breath, but he felt fairly happy. He reached out a hand to take the change. Then he stopped. His eyes were just above the level of the counter. They were staring at the silver coins lying there. The coins were all five-penny pieces. There were just nine of them altogether. Surely it wouldn’t matter if he spent just one more coin.
“I think,” he said quietly, “I think I’ll have just one more of those chocolate bars. The same kind as before, please.”
“Why not?” the fat shopkeeper said, reaching behind him again and taking another Wonda’s Whipple-Scrumptious Fudgemallow Delight from the shelf. He laid it on the counter.
Charlie picked it up and tore off the wrapper… and suddenly… from under the wrapper… there came a bright flash of gold.
Charlie’s heart stood still.
“It’s a Golden Ticket! ”shouted the shopkeeper. “You’ve got a Golden Ticket! You’ve found the last Golden Ticket! Come and look at this, everybody! The kid found Wonka’s last Golden Ticket! Right there in his hands! He will be one of the five lucky children to be shown around Wonka’s chocolate factory!”
In a few seconds, there was a crowd of about twenty people around Charlie, and many more were pushing their way in from the street.

A young man called “Nanduoduo” shared his May Day journey and went popular online. He reached the top of the “five great mountains” in only five days.

【推荐2】“Da-da-da daaaaah! ” These four notes are strong and full of power（力量）. Even if you don't know Ludwig van Beethoven（1770-1827）, you have probably heard these notes before.
This year is the 250th anniversary（周年）of Beethoven's birth. Born in Germany, he is one of the greatest musicians in history. The four opening notes above comes from his Symphony No.5（第五交响乐, also known as Fate（命运交响乐）.
Like this symphony, many of Beethoven’s works are rich in emotion（情感）. They probably came from his hard life. He started to lose his hearing in his 20s. But he chose to face this pain and turn his feelings into music.
In Symphony No.5, for example, you can hear anger and grief（悲痛）in the powerful notes. But as the music goes on, it sounds like a man who is moving from darkness into light. In the end, when the strings（弦乐）and drums play together, you know that the man has beaten fate.
“I will seize（扼住）fate by the throat; it shall certainly never wholly overcome（战胜）me,” Beethoven once wrote. This spirit of his music will never stop giving people strength.
Ludwig van Beethoven died on March 26, 1827 at the age of 56. About 20,000 people went to his funeral（葬礼）in Vienna, Austria in 1827. Schools were closed and military（军队）was there to keep order. In 1977 Beethoven's Symphony No.5 was sent into outer space by the US Voyagerprobe（“旅行者号”飞船）.

【推荐2】When I was 11 years old, I traveled to Peru. I went on more than just a vacation. I was visiting my native country.
I was born in Peru, but I was adopted (领养) by an American family and grew up in the United States.
While in Peru, I wanted to know what my life could have been like if I had not been adopted. I visited several orphanages (孤儿院), including one in the hills of Cuzco, near my birthplace.
The orphanage was really cold and dry there. The paint on the wall was falling off, and the girls were in poor health.
When I returned home, I couldn’t get the girls out of my mind, and I really wanted to do something because I could have been one of those girls in that orphanage.
I decided to start a group called Peruvian Hearts to help them. My goal was to provide orphans in Peru with education, clothing and food. In the first two years, Peruvian Hearts raised about $15,000 for the orphanage. It also bought a chicken coop (鸡舍) so that the girls could eat fresh eggs.
My efforts have been noticed. I won a prize, which is given to kids and teens that make a difference. From this experience, I learn that as long as we believe in ourselves, and follow our heart, we can make a difference, and make the world a better place.
