【推荐2】Days ago, I made a skirt for a friend’s daughter. Today, I noticed a message on my phone on WeChat (微信). It was my friend’s saying, “I know you worked hard on the skirt and it looks very nice, but Lingling doesn’t like the pattern (图案) on the skirt. Could you change it?”
I was angry and wanted to call her back. Then I suddenly thought of Grandma and what she had once done for me long ago.
It was a summer when I was eight. One day, Grandma decided to dress up my hair with some flowers. She spent a long time on it and she enjoyed doing that. When Grandma finished, she was so happy and I stood on a chair to look at myself in the mirror (镜子). My heart went cold.
“You can go out and play now,” Grandma said, smiling.
I nodded and slowly walked towards the door. I looked out of the small window in the door and saw some kids playing outside. My best friend, Liu Mei, saw me and waved (挥手) at me to go outside, but I couldn’t move. I knew everyone would laugh at my hair, but I couldn’t tell Grandma how I felt.
Finally, I went into Grandma’s room and said in a scared voice, “Grandma, I don’t think the flowers in my hair look nice.”
Grandma looked sad, but didn’t say a word. She stood me back on the chair in front of the mirror. While Grandma was pulling out the flowers gently (轻柔地). I realised she loved me so deeply that she put my feelings before hers. And that is the kind of love I try to pass on today.
I picked up my phone and replied to my friend on WeChat. “I am glad to change it.”

【推荐3】My son, Micah, was not happy at the beginning of his vacation because he didn’t get great grades last term. Then I took him to spend vacation near the beach. On the beach we saw a group of men playing rugby and they asked Micah to join them. When the rugby was over his head, he became excited and couldn’t stop waving（挥手）his arms in the air and saying, “My turn, me, me.”
At first, I thought that he would play it just for a while, because he always keeps interest in something but he never lasts it for a long time. However, when I called Micah to come back, he refused this time. He still played rugby with them and listened to the laughter of the guys.
I really enjoyed the happy face from Micah. And I did thank those men for sharing a happy time with him. Then, one man of the group taught Micah how to hold the rugby and throw it. Micah was happy to learn the skills and had fun playing rugby. I was also happy that they helped my son get out of the terrible mind.

【推荐3】Recently Chinese researchers have described what they claim is the world’s youngest Alzheimer’s (阿尔茨海默症) patient, a 19-year-old boy in Beijing, as an “interesting” discovery that could help know the development of the disease that mostly affects the elderly.
The youngest patient first experienced difficulties paying his attention to study when he was 17 and began to have trouble remembering little or even more important things, such as being unable to remember the events two days ago or where he’d left personal belongings, according to a study published in the Journal of Alzheimer’s Disease, an international peer-reviewed journal, on January 31.
The study found that the patient’s memory continued to get worse, and he often misplaced items and even had trouble remembering whether he had eaten. He dropped out of school because of his condition, but was still able to live on his own.
Since the first case of AD (Alzheimer’s disease) was reported in 1906, it has been widely believed that AD mainly happens in the elderly according to the researches since then, AD is a chronic neurodegenerative disease (慢性神经退行性疾病) with slow onset (发病) and loss of cognition (认知) little by little, memory and speech and an increase in mental disorders over time, eventually leading to inability to take care of oneself. It is currently difficult to treat the disease.
There are two types of AD, familial (家族性的) and sporadic (散发性的), Peng Dantao, chief physician of the China-Japan Friendship Hospital told the Global Times.
About 15 percent of AD patients have the familial type and the age of onset is generally when people are in their 20s or 30s. Most AD cases are sporadic, and it is most common in people over 65. It affects about a fifth of those over 80, Peng said. And this case of the 19-year-old boy shows patients who suffer from the disease are becoming even younger than we think.

Disney has made many cartoon movies. The princesses in the movies are often girl's favorite characters. From Snow White to Moana, every princess leaves a deep impression on people. However, have you noticed that Disney princess are changing?
In the early Disney cartoon movies, princesses like Snow White, Cinderella and Aurora from Sleeping Beauty are usually good-looking and kind-hearted. But they have to depend on others to get out of trouble and find happiness. They end up living happily with their princes.
Now, people still love those princesses, but more and more girls know they have to fight for their own happiness. Disney has noticed the change. So the princesses in its newer movies don’t just have good looks.
Merida from Brave is a good example. She was born as a princess and she likes going on adventures. She spends her days practicing archery(射箭术), riding her horse and experiencing the world around her. She loves her family, but she wants to take control of her own life.
Some times ago, Disney even put up their “10 new rules for being a modern princess”. The rules include: Care for others; Live healthily; Don’t judge a book by its cover; Be honest; Be a friend you can trust; Believe in yourself; Right wrongs; Try your best; Be loyal and Never give up.
None of the rulers are about the looks of a princess. Anyway, one’s beauty is more valuable. Don’t you think so?
1. Snow White is a good-looking and kind-hearted girl.
2. All Disney princesses can get out of difficulty and find happiness by themselves.
3. The princesses in Disney’s newer movies just have good looks.
4. Merida wants to take control of her own life.
5. Disney has found it more valuable to have inner beauty than to just have good looks.

The population (人口) is growing fast. There will be many people in the world and most of them will live longer than people live now.
Computers will be much smaller and more useful, and there will be at least (至少) one in every room. And computer studies will be one of the important subjects in schools then. People will work fewer hours than they do now and they will have more free time for sports, watching TV and travel. Traveling will be much cheaper and easier. And many more people will go to other countries for holidays.
There will be changes in our food, too. More land will be used for building new towns and houses for all the people. Then there will be less room for cows and sheep, so meat will be more expensive. Maybe no one will eat it every day. Instead they will eat more fruit and vegetables. Maybe people will be healthier. Work in the future will be different, too. Robots will do dangerous and hard work.
