Last weekend, the four members of my family spent an enjoyable holiday at the Magic Kingdom—Disneyland. And one event made our visit seem truly magical.
We got to the front of the line at Space Mountain, only to find out that our little daughter Gloria couldn't take her ice-cream on the ride. We were so excited that we all forgot ice-cream was not allowed on the ride.
Gloria broke into tears and we all had no idea what to do. Then Murphy, one of the staff (员工) members, came over. She bent down and told Gloria that she would hold the ice-cream for her and give it to her when she finished the ride. Gloria said, “Promise?” Then she gave Murphy her ice-cream, and she completely enjoyed the ride.
Sure enough, as we walked out the exit, there was Gloria’s new friend with “her” ice-cream. Now you and I both know what happened, because we know that an ice-cream won’t last
twenty minutes on a summer afternoon in Florida. Murphy knew what time we would get off the ride; she went to the nearest shop and bought a brand-new ice-cream thirty seconds before we walked out the exit. Gloria said, “Thank you,” but I’m sure she thought it was the same ice-cream.
We know that someone tried hard to make our visit special. Thanks so much for going above and beyond!
Your fan,
Carmen Rivera

【推荐3】Everyone experiences emotions. Feelings or emotions such as happiness, anger, fear, joy and anxiety are common to all of us. You can’t always choose your emotions, but you can choose your response. The following are some ways to deal with your feelings or emotions.
Remind yourselves that it is never okay to hurt others.
It is important to know what is acceptable and what is not for others.
Use your words to say how you feel and what you wish would happen.
Saying what you wish for helps you open a problem-solving conversation.
It is okay to ask for help when you don’t feel that you can solve the problem alone. Asking your parents or teachers for advice may help you find better ways.
Sometimes you may still feel angry or upset even having worked through each of the above steps. In these situations, it is often better to walk away or to find another safe way to deal with those feelings. Several days later, you may not feel as strongly about what happened.

Age is just a number, especially when it comes to someone as naturally talented as Zhou Zhaoyan, or Miumiu. The little girl from Nanjing, China, is just 6 years old, but her musical talent goes far beyond her age. Not only is she a great guitar player, but she’s also a beautiful singer!

One fan wrote, “Musicians full of experience are wishing they had half her talent! If this is where you’re at when you’re 6… You’ve got a bright future ahead of you! Great music!” Another added, “Beautifully sung and played. Music is a universal language. It’s all about the feeling.”
