【推荐2】Almost everyone has friends. However, you may not get on well with your friends. You may get into a fight or argue with others. If a friend does something bad to you, what will you do? Will you forgive (原谅) him or her? Most people choose to forgive others, according to the Daily Mail.
Researchers have found that we are likely to believe that people are good at heart, though they do something bad. When these “bad people” do something nice, people will probably forgive their mistakes.
In an experiment, 1,500 people were asked to watch two strangers. The strangers were told that they would get money if they played a joke on another person. The “good” stranger refused the thing but the “bad” one accepted it.
The 1,500 people then judged (评价) the strangers according to their decisions. They spoke highly of the “good” stranger, but they were not sure whether the “bad” stranger was truly bad. If they then saw the bad person do something good, they would also speak something good about him.
Scientists believe that it is human nature to see the best in others. What’s more, people want to believe someone is innocent. This can help us develop and keep healthy social relationships. Sometimes, people do something bad by accident. Then we might stay away from them and end the relationships with them. However, what will happen if we find later that the people are not truly bad? We may have lost several good friends.

One morning John woke up to find a stream(小溪) between the two farms. “It must be Bob,” John thought. Then John met a carpenter(木匠).
John said. “My neighbour Bob dug(挖) a stream between the two farms. I want you to build a fence(栅栏)—an 8-foot fence. I don’t want to see his place or his face any more.”

It was a bridge! And the neighbour, Bob, was coming across, with his hand outstretched(伸出). “Hi, John!
Then they met in the middle, taking each other’s hands. “I’m terribly sorry for what I have said and done. We should be good to each other,” said Bob.

【推荐2】It was the first time I met a seal (海豹), the most mysterious (神秘的) animal for me in the world. I jumped into the cold water to take a closer look. Immediately, she swam toward me and tried to threaten me by putting my camera and much of my head into her mouth. I tried not to show any fear. After a few seconds, she let go of my head and swam away.
Then she came back with a live penguin. The penguin was a gift for me. Of course, I didn’t eat the penguin, and I think the seal was very disappointed. The seal thought I was just another seal, I realized. One most important thing in a seal’s life is eating. So perhaps this seal was worried about me. She didn’t want me to go hungry. She brought me some more penguins. She even tried to show me how to eat them. The seal tried to push penguins into my camera because she thought the camera was my mouth!
I understood that she was trying to feed me. But I think that she was really trying to communicate with me. By now, she didn’t seem very dangerous. She stayed by me and tried to feed me for four days. One time, she noticed another seal come up behind me. She made a deep, warning sound and scared the other seal away. She then took that seal’s penguin and gave it to me.
Those four days were the most unbelievable experience I ever had as a wildlife photographer, because I got some amazing pictures. I also learned that animals do not always behave the way we expect. My relationship with this powerful and smart animal will stay with me forever.

【推荐3】Maybe there are many moving stories around you. Today you can know one of them. This story is just so sweet and sad at the same time. 11-year-old Lu Zikuan had to eat five times a day because he wanted to save his father’s life.
________ Doctors told him that the only way to save his father’s life was with a bone marrow transplant (骨髓移植). Lu was the only person in the family to save his dad.
