There is a little boy named Mark. He hopes he could fly like a bird. His parents tell him, “Dear, you can’t fly.” “Why can’t I? Some birds in the zoo are very big, but they can fly.” The boy can’t understand.
There is another little boy named Barry. He is crippled(跛脚的). He wishes he could walk and run like other children.
“Why can’t I walk or run like other children?” Barry asks his father. His father doesn’t know what to say.
One day, the two boys meet in a park.
“Do you want to fly like a bird?” Mark asks Barry.
“No,” Barry says. “ I just wish I could walk and run like you.”
Mark thinks for a minute, walks to Barry’s father and says something into his ear.
“That’s OK,” says the father.
Mark goes to Barry and says, “Get onto my back. Let’s run together.” Then Mark carries Barry and begins to run. He runs faster and faster. He runs across the park with Barry on his back.

【推荐1】Welcome to England! The weather of England is very changeable. It can be rainy, sunny, cloudy, windy, warm, foggy or cold at any time of the year. If it’s raining when you get up in the morning, it can be hot and dry by the afternoon. The west of England is wetter than the east, and the north is cooler than the south. Just be ready for any kind of weather.

In England, shops are usually open from 9:00 in the morning to 5:30 in the afternoon. On Sundays some shops are open from 10 a. m. to 4 p. m. But a lot of shops are closed. Banks, museums or other places are open from 10 a. m. to 5 p. m. You can go to the parks at any time.

All the cities have buses, trains and taxis. People wait in line for buses and they are unhappy if you push in at the front. Don’t forget this—traffic goes on the left. Be careful!

【推荐2】In early spring, the changing temperature usually makes a number of Chinese people uncomfortable. Cold air, bringing rain or even snow, easily tears up (破坏) the warmth of the spring within a night .

However, with the coming of Guyu-the Grain (谷物) Rain, the blue sky and gentle winds would finally stay. Guyu usually comes on or around April 20 every year, it is the sixth of the 24 solar terms (节气). It means the beginning of a lively summer and people get busy from now on.

Sow (播种) grains

This is an important period of the growth of grains. The ancient Chinese already knew that as Guyu comes, the weather will become warm enough for sowing. The farmers usually catch the chance to plant rice, corn and beans.

Hope for safety and harvest (收获)

For those living near the sea, they will hold some ceremonies (仪式) on Guyu, hoping for safety as well as harvest during the coming fishing season.

Watch the peony (牡丹)

It’s also a great time to see the peony, which is known as “the Queen of All Flowers” in Chinese culture. As a result, watching peonies becomes one of the most enjoyable activities for many people. The flower is said to be the favourite of Empress (女皇) Wu Zetian of the Tang Dynasty (唐朝), who was the only woman ruler in Chinese history.

Pick tea leaves

Tea leaves picked before Guyu are among the best tea leaves. People think that the tea leaves picked on the day of Guyu can make eyes clear and drive away bad luck. So the habit of drinking tea at this time of year has become a tradition in some places of China.

They kept on walking, and at last, they found a river. So they decided to take a bath. Suddenly, Jim got stuck in the mire (陷在泥里). At that moment, Mike saved him. After Jim felt better, he wrote on a stone: Today my best friend saved my life.
