【推荐2】For many of us, there's only one Spider-Man. That's Peter Parker, a student in New York City bitten (咬) by a radioactive spider (放射性蜘蛛) from the museum and then got the superpower (超能力). However, in the new movie coming out on December 21st in theaters, Spider-Man: Into the Spider Verse (《蜘蛛侠：平行宇宙》), there are more than one Spider-Man. In fact, 6 Spider-Men are in this movie including (包括) a woman, Spider-Gwena, and a pig called Spider-Ham.

These characters live in different universes (宇宙) and experience different things. For example, Peter Parker is in his 40s in the movie. He needs to find a young man to take his place. He meets Miles Morales, a high school student, and trains (训练) him to be Spider-Man one day. But Miles also has problems. People treat (对待) him badly because of his family.

Although these Spider-Men are different in their own ways, they have one thing in common. That is to work together and fight against (对抗) the bad man named Kingpin. They travel to each other's universes by using a special machine. Finally, with the help of these superheroes, Miles helps his new friends get back home and save the world. "There are different cultures behind each spider-person. The movie shows that with great power comes great responsibility (责任), but also that anyone can be his own Spider-Man and his own hero." Shameik Moore, the voice actor behind Miles Morales said.

【推荐3】Many years ago, there was an old man. He wanted his sons to learn not to make a judgment (判断) too soon. He told them to go and watch a pear tree. It was far away from their home. The first son went in winter, the second in spring, the third in summer, and the youngest in autumn. When the sons came back, the old man asked them what they had seen. The first son complained (抱怨) the tree was ugly. The second son said the tree was covered with buds (花蕾) and full of hope. The third son said the tree was full of green leaves. They looked so beautiful, and it was the most wonderful thing he had ever seen. The youngest son said that the tree was heavy with fruit. He was filled with the delight of harvest (收获).

The man explained that all of his sons were right, but each of them had just seen the tree in one season. He told them that they couldn’t judge a tree or a person too soon. “If you give up in winter, you will miss the hope of the spring, the beauty of the summer, and the harvest of the autumn, “ said the old man.

Never give up in hard times and good times are sure to come some day.

【推荐1】Twenty years ago, I drove a taxi for a living. One night I was told to pick up a passenger at 2: 30 a.m. When I arrived at the passenger’s house, I walked to the door and knocked. “Just a minute,” answered a weak voice. After a while, the door opened. A small woman over eighty stood before me. I took her bag to the car, and then returned to help her. She took my arm and we walked slowly towards the car. She kept thanking me for my kindness.

“It’s nothing,” I told her. “I just try to treat my passengers the way that I would want my mother to be treated.” “Oh, you’re such a good man,” she said. She gave me an address, and then asked, “Could you drive me through the city?”

“It’s not a short way,” I answered quickly.

“Oh, I’m in no hurry,” she said.”I’m on my way to hospice(临终安养院). I don’t have any family left. The doctor says I can’t live very long.”

I quietly turned off the meter(计价器).

For the next two hours, we drove through the city. She showed me the building where she had once worked, the neighborhood where she had lived, a ballroom where she had gone dancing as a girl.

At last, she said, “I’m tired. Let’s go now.” Then we drove to the address she had given me.

“How much should I pay you? ”

“None,” I said.

“You have to make a living.”

“Oh, there are other passengers,” I answered.

Almost without thinking, I gave her a hug. “You gave an old woman a little moment of joy,” she said weakly but full of happiness.

【推荐2】I was walking around in a store. I saw a cashier (收银员) hand a little boy his money back, saying, “I’m sorry, but you don’t have enough money to buy this doll.” I walked towards him and asked him who the doll was for.

“It’s the doll that my sister wanted most for Christmas,” he said. I told him that maybe Santa Claus (圣诞老人) will bring it to her and that he shouldn’t worry. He sadly replied, “No, Santa Claus can’t bring it to her. I have to give the doll to my mom so that she can give it to my sister when she joins her.”

His eyes were so sad while saying this. “My sister has gone to be with God. Daddy says that Mom is going to see God very soon too, so I thought that she could take the doll with her to give it to my sister.”

My heart nearly stopped. I quickly reached for my wallet and suggested that we count the money again. “Okay,” he said. “I hope that I have enough.” I added some of my money to his without letting him see and we started to count it. There was enough for the doll and even some spare (空余的) money left. “Thank you, God, for giving me enough money!” the little boy said.

I left the store, feeling as if my life had been changed forever.

【推荐3】The conflict(冲突) between Russia and Ukraine itself may be a questionable topic, yet it is the people who suffer the most. More than 4 million Ukrainians had fled from their homeland one month after it began. It was the biggest migration(移民) wave since World War II.

I wanted to help by being a volunteer. However, it was difficult because I don’t speak Russian or Ukrainian. Luckily, after searching on the internet, I was finally able to sign up to volunteer in a modern gallery called Svetova.

The gallery is owned by an overseas Chinese in Prague, Czech Republic, and had over 40 volunteers to provide 24/7 aid to the Ukrainian refugees(难民). During a two-week intensive (集中的) aid program, the gallery provided a place to live and food for up to five people for free and also served as a safe and interesting space for children, where English classes, games and other fun activities were organized.

Due to my busy school and work schedule, I was only able to volunteer there twice. But, besides the owner and his family, I was the first Chinese volunteer. My role was to help the refugees fill out registration (登记) papers. Sometimes, it was difficult with the language barrier, but there were translators to help.

I was so impressed by one Ukrainian mother and her two kids, who still had such kind smiles and bright eyes, despite all the awful things they must have experienced. Some other people may not be able to easily understand their feelings, but I really valued this chance to be with those people in need, doing what I could. Because we are all humans, we should come together in difficult times.

【推荐2】Wendy lives with her parents, Mr. and Mrs. Darling, and her brothers, John and Michael, at number 14 (the house number on their street).

The children have a nurse（保姆） because the neighbors’ children have nurses, and Mr. Darling wants to be like his neighbors. But the family is poor(贫穷的) so their nurse isn’t like other children’s nurses. She’s a big dog and her name is Nana.

Nana puts the children to bed every evening and she looks after them if they cry in the night. Her kennel(狗窝) is in the children’s bedroom.

Nana is a good nurse, but Mr. Darling is a bit(有点儿) worried. He worries about the neighbors. What do they think of him? Do they think that the Darlings are a strange family because the children’s nurse is a dog? He also thinks that Nana does not like him. But Mrs. Darling always says:‘Nana loves you very much, George’.

The Darling family is a very happy family. Sometimes Mr. and Mrs. Darling and their children all dance around the sitting room together. What a lovely time they have!
