It was a cold day in December in New York City. A little boy about 10 years old was standing in front of a shoe store on Broadway. He was looking through the windows, barefooted (赤脚的) and shivery. A lady walked to the boy and said,“My little boy, what are you looking at?” “I am asking someone to give me a pair of shoes,” the boy said.
The lady took him by the hand and went into the store. She asked the clerk to get a pair of socks for the boy. Then she asked if he could give her some water and a towel. The clerk quickly brought the things to her. She washed the boy’s little feet and dried them with the towel. By this time, the clerk had returned with the socks. The lady helped the boy to put on the socks, and then bought him a pair of shoes. She said,“My little boy, do you feel more comfortable now?” As she turned to go, the boy caught her by the hand and looked at her face.
With tears in his eyes, he asked,“Are you an angel (天使)?” “No, I’m a mother,”said the lady.

【推荐2】“World record broken!” On Aug 12, 17-year-old Ma Jiajun from Jilin excitedly posted this on social media, with a picture of him holding the certificate(证书) from Guinness World Records. He has set a new world record for “the most consecutive jump rope triples(连续三摇跳绳)” with 701 times. The last world record was 423, set by a Japanese person, 35 years ago.
Ma is more than 180 cm tall, but he used to be short and thin in primary school. To build a strong body, he took part in the school’s jump rope team. At 9, he competed in a national game and surprisingly broke a recoord. “My coach said I hav a talent in this sport and suggested that I should keep doing it.” said Ma. So he joined a jump rope club and kept training for six years.
“The training was really hard. I needed to practice every day for at least four to five hours,” Ma said. “The jump rope triple has a high requirement for core strength (核心力量). Every night when I lay on my bed, my abs(腹肌) and back were in pain.”
But a strong wish to break the record kept him going. “My favorite TV show is Guinness China Night《吉尼斯中国之夜》. I always dreamed of getting a certificate of my own,” he said. “That would prove my efforts and persistence.”
After breaking the record, Ma won lots of attention from the public. “I hope more people could enjoy jump rope, since it’s good for your health and full of fun,” Ma said. Now he is preparing for next year’s gaokao, with Beijing Sport University being his next goal.

A squirrel that was nearly killed nine years ago continues to visit the family that saved,raised and later sent her into the wild.
In October 2009,a four-week-old squirrel was almost killed by an owl(猫头鹰). Luckily, a wildlife group saved her and left her in the care of Brantley Harrison and her family in South Carolina. The Harrisons often look after wild animals and later send them back into the wild.

In April 2010,the squirrels were sent back into the wild. Belle,however, wasn't ready to leave her human family. Within days of being sent into the wild,she started visiting them,looking for treats. Brantley said that the other squirrels also came back over the first few days,but within a week they stopped coming by and began to avoid people.
"Belle usually sits at the front door,waiting for someone to notice her. She comes almost every day," said Brantley. Her husband John often brings Belle nuts as she is usually waiting by the door for him. Actually,Belle has become a member of the family.
