【推荐2】Cindy, Jenny and Mary are talking about what a good friend should be like.
| Cindy | I think a good friend should be honest (诚实的). That’s more important than any other thing. And it is where a friendship starts. If a man isn’t honest, he may lose his friends’ trust. |
| Jenny | I think a good friend has to be generous (慷慨的). Here being generous doesn’t mean he has to give his friends his lunch money or his clothes. It means he should share his ideas and feelings with his friends. In fact, his friends can know him better in this way. |

【推荐3】Twice a month, Nona Avery sits down, picks up her pen and writes a letter to her best friend. The British woman has been doing this for the past 80 years.
The hobby started in 1942. Nona, then 12, was reading a magazine. Some ads (启事) in the magazine were asking for pen pals. One of them was from Alice Power. She was living in America and was also 12. “I was very excited,” Nona said. “I sat down immediately, wrote a letter, put it in an envelope — together with a picture of myself — and posted it.”
Two weeks later, a reply was dropped into her letterbox. They kept writing. The two found that they had a lot in common.
However, both Nona and Alice were too poor to afford (支付得起) a plane ticket. It was not until 1987 that they met. “I was excited to see the person I had been writing to for four decades (十年),” Nona said. “We had a big hug and then sat down, chatting for hours.”
Now in their eighties, Nona and Alice are still writing to each other. And they still write by hand. “Writing is much more intimate (亲密而温馨的), so why would we want to change the habit we’ve developed over a lifetime?” Nona said.

People asked Nerino to be brave and to fight. But Nerino simply said, “I will keep my promise, but now isn’t the time.” Years passed by. Nerino didn’t do anything about the animal. People believed he was a coward.
Yet, on a snowy night, suddenly, Nerino said it was the perfect time. He led a group of people to get to the animal’s cave, Nerino confidently entered, while others moved slowly and were ready to be eaten.
When they were inside the cave, they saw Nerino standing over the animal. It was close to death. Everyone was surprised and wanted to hear about the fight. Nerino said, “The animal never showed up during the worst days of winter. For many years I was waiting for a snow as heavy as this one. Now, it is the weakest, so I can kill it easily.”
Now everyone in the tribe learned that, sometimes, patience can be much more useful than action.

【推荐2】At the 19th Asian Games in Hangzhou, a 13-year-old girl named Cui Chenxi rocked the skatepark and became the champion. Interestingly, that achievement not only won her a gold medal but also made her the youngest champion in the history of the Asian Games in China. Can you believe it?

One morning, I was driving my father-in-law to the airport when a plane flew silently over the road like a big bird, about to touch down at the airport.
"It's magic," my father-in-law said. I looked at him, without knowing what was happening.
He was a doctor who gave speeches at colleges and had visited
more than 100 countries. He understood better than I why a plane can fly in the sky. It, really, wasn't magic.
But now, I realize he was at least right in some way.
Though flying might not be magic, it's certainly magical. What it brings to our lives is something found in our dreams.
But too often, we, especially I forget. I read a sentence a few months ago. It said, "You know you're growing-up when you no longer want a window seat."
Too often in recent years, I've asked for a seat near the exit row, forgetting the wonders of traveling fast. But sometimes, when the Wi-Fi's not working or my computer has no power, I remember to look.
I think of one time when I was leaving on a family vacation. Moments after take-off, I started working. But a passenger behind me wouldn't stop talking. "The clouds!" he kept saying, "Look at the clouds!"
I turned around, and saw two men, one who appeared to be in his seventies and the other much younger. The chat continued for 20 minutes until, not patiently, I raised my eyes from my computer screen and looked out of the window.
The clouds!
He was right. We were floating through big soft balls of cotton, each in different shapes. They seemed close enough to touch. The afternoon sun provided all kinds of colors, all against a blue sky. I put away my computer and appreciated(欣赏)them for the rest of the flight.
I don't remember the work I felt like I had to complete that afternoon. taut I've never forgotten those clouds.
