The American writer Sally Seamans tells young students some smart ways to find friends. Sally says finding friendship is just like planting a tree. You plant the seed（种子）and take care of it to make it grow.
First you should choose a friend. What makes a good friend? It is not because a person has money or good looks. A good friend should be kind and patient(耐心).For example, if you have a bad day, a good friend should listen to your complaints(抱怨)and do his or her best to help. To make a friend, you cannot be too shy. You should make each other happy and share your lives.
But things cannot always be happy. Even the best friends have fights. What should you do when you have a fight with your friend? You have to talk to him or her. When there is no one around, have an honest（诚实的）talk. If he or she doesn't want to talk, you could write a letter.
There are three steps to be friends again:
Tell him or her how you are feeling; say what your friend has done wrong, and explain（解释）why you did this or that. Remember that friendship is the most important thing in your life.

【推荐1】It can break through all kinds of barriers to reach students in a very special way. It can be the means for each child to find their light.
A few years ago, I was blessed with the opportunity to teach pre-school students one afternoon a week. One of my most memorable students was Vanessa. She was five years old, had difficulty walking and could not speak. We mostly sat on the floor for our music lessons and Vanessa liked to sit on my lap. One of her favorite songs was John the Rabbit. It was a call and response song where I sang the call and the students clapping two times while singing the repeating phrase "Oh yes!" Vanessa liked to put her hands together with mine and clap with me. We performed that song during every class, Vanessa and I clapping together. She never said or sang a word.
One day late in the school year when the song was finished, Vanessa turned around, looked me in the eye, clapped her tiny hands two times and said the words "Oh yes!" I opened my mouth and could not speak. Through music, we had made a connection.
Several years later, I came across Vanessa on the street in town. I stopped my car and waved to say hello. She waved back with a big smile on her face and then clapped her hands two times, mimicking (模仿) the song we had performed in our music class. This precious little girl, through her connection with music, left an impression on me that will last forever.
Every child has the ability to learn and grow. It is up to us educators to discover the way to reach each and every one of our students. We all must find each child's light.

In the United States, shoppers at Wal-Mart, the nation’s largest retailer（零售商）, have a wide selection of products mostly produced in China. The large amount of Chinese imports have created a large selection of goods in other countries as people begin to buy more and more products made in China. These goods are even widely available in other Asian nations, where Chinese-made goods are quite popular. Chinese brand names are also becoming more well-known outside China, such as Gree，Media and Huawei.
When Chinese Americans visit family and friends in their homeland, gifts from the U.S. are a must. But TVs and fashionable clothes aren't rare(罕见的) any more, and anything 'Made in China' shouldn’t be considered in any case. "When I decide to visit my family members in China, I will have a big headache. What should I buy for them? They may not all speak English, but everyone in China knows those three words," a Chinese American said. "When they see the label 'Made in China,' they will think, 'Why do you send me this?' "
The development of China has surprised the world with its growth. As a result, the other countries are beginning to try to reduce Chinese goods with the use of taxes（税）and import restrictions(限制). However, the development on the Chinese economy(经济) still affects the world in many ways.

【推荐2】Fighting coronavirus is an experience that will forever be remembered. Now that I've recovered, I'm sharing my story because I want people to take this situation seriously. To turn things around, we have to stay home. We have to fight this battle together — and we have to win.
I think it started on the night my boyfriend and I went to celebrate his sister-in-law's birthday. We didn't think anything of it at the time, of course. The news was just beginning to report the spread of COVID-19 in America. I was still living my life just as I always had — riding the train to work each day, working long hours, and going out with friends and family.
My boyfriend, Luis, began showing symptoms on Monday, but we thought it was a typical cold. Then it took me down. It began with a low fever. I felt really weak. At this point, coronavirus had begun to take over New York. On Tuesday, the headache started. It was so intense that I had to lie down. By the end of the week, everything hurt. Luis and I went to nearby urgent care. After being examined, I chose to be tested, but I didn't receive my results until a week later. The doctor sent me home with advice to take Tylenol (泰诺, 感冒药) but said there was nothing more he could do for me. On the way home, we bought whatever medicine we could find, for the store had run out of Tylenol.
That Saturday evening was the worst. I had a high fever and I couldn't sleep. I was sweating a lot, and my knees, hips, and back were in terrible pain. I lost my sense of taste and smell. Then I developed stomach pain.
As I lay there, I was terrified that there wouldn't be enough doctors, nurses, or beds to help me. The thought of being alone, and possibly dying alone, in the hospital, weighed heavily on my thoughts, and I feared the uncertainty.
My fever finally broke the following Wednesday. It was such a relief. Two days later, the health department called me with the news that I'd tested positive for COVID-19.
Looking back, I really wish that people had taken this virus more seriously earlier. I wish people understood how severe this is. I'm wearing a mask in public from now on. I'm not taking chances. This was really painful, and we got lucky.

In the state of Qin (秦国), there was a man called Shang Yang (商鞅). He was a statesman (政治家) and worked out many reforms (改革) for the state, like paying more attention to farming and giving rewards (报酬) to soldiers who were successful when at war.
But these reforms were not easily carried out (执行) at first. Most people didn’t trust Shang Yang. In order to solve this problem, Shang Yang came up with an idea. He put a thin wooden pole at the south gate of the Qin capital. Many people came to see him and the pole.
Then, in front of the crowd, Shang Yang said loudly, “The man who takes this pole to the north gate will get 10 gold pieces.”
It was a simple job and the reward was so large. However, some time passed and no one stepped forward. They all thought Shang Yang was making a joke.
Hearing no answer, Shang Yang stepped forward and said, “The reward now goes to 50 gold pieces.”
This reward was unbelievably large. Finally, a man from the crowd came forward. He put the pole on his shoulder and walked to the north gate. True to his word, Shang Yang gave the man 50 gold pieces.
After that, the people of Qin were all talking about what Shang Yang did about the pole. They believed he was a man of his word. So when Shang Yang began carrying out his reforms, the people followed him.
Under these great reforms, Qin grew stronger and stronger. At last, Qin made all the seven states into one empire (帝国).

【推荐3】Most of Chinese people can recite (背诵) the two lines of the famous poem, “Every grain on the plate comes from hard work”. But sadly, many of us don’t really get the real meaning.
A CCTV program reported that Chinese people throw away much food every year and it can feed 200 million people for a year. Do we have too much food? The answer is no. According to the UN World Food Program, there were 925 million hungry people around the world in 2011, especially in developing countries. Six million children die of hunger.
Chinese people are well-known for being friendly and generous. Many even feel that they lose face if their guests have eaten all the food on the table. Luckily, a lot of people have realized the importance of saving food. What should we do to waste less food in our daily life?
Don’t order too much in a restaurant. Just order as much as you want to eat. If you cannot eat all the food you ordered, take the rest home.
Don’t leave any food in your bowls while having meals.
Keep an eye on what food you have at home. Don’t buy too much, especially for vegetables and fruit.

【推荐1】Last year, my husband and I decided to visit New Zealand. We wanted to tour the country, but we both hate long car journeys. Our travel agent advised a 13-day coach trip(长途客车旅行). It was a good price, so we booked (预订) it and our plane tickets to Christchurch. We made a good choice. The coach journeys passed quickly and our driver told us about each place. We learned a lot from him.
We flew from London to Christchurch and had a free day there before the coach trip started. We weren’t at all
The most unforgettable place we visited on the trip was Queenstown. We had three days there, but it wasn’t enough. We did lots of things there, from sailing(乘船航行) to climbing. At the end of each day, we felt we had no energy(精力) at all. But the next morning it seemed that everything was fresh again!
All the hotels we lived in were good. My favorite one was the Puka Park Lodge. It was on a hill above a beach and there were trees everywhere. We woke up and listened to the birds singing. Now, when we’re eating breakfast at home and we hear the noise of the traffic (路上行驶的车辆), we think of those beautiful mornings in New Zealand!

【推荐2】When you think of penguins, you may picture them in white snow. However, there is one kind of penguin that loves warmer climates. African penguins live in colonies(聚居区) on the coast and islands of southern Africa.
Also called jackass penguins, they make donkey-like braying(驴叫) sounds to communicate. They can dive under water for up to 2.5 minutes while trying to catch small fish.
The African penguins are about 60 cm tall and weigh up to 3.6 kg. Their short tails and flipper-like wings help them swim in the water, while their feet help push them forward.
To keep dry and insulated(隔离) in cold water, African penguins are covered in dense, waterproof feathers. These feathers are white on the stomach and black on the back.
African penguins do not travel to give birth. The penguins' nests are in the holes they dig out of their own excrement(粪便), called guano, or in areas under bushes. People now take away the guano for fertilizer(肥料). It has forced the penguins to change their habits and nests mainly under bushes. Their nests protect eggs and chicks from the sun and the animals like cats and seagulls. Eggs are laid in pairs. And both parents help keep eggs warm by sitting on them until they hatch. Both parents also feed the newly-born chicks. After 2—4 years, the chicks will mature and lay their own eggs.
African penguins can live for an average of 10—15 years. However, many do not reach their full lifespan, and populations have been slowly decreasing. African penguins are losing their nesting places. And their food is not enough because of overfishing and pollution. As such, African penguins are now in danger. This means there is a high risk they may die out.
If you would like to help the African penguins, you can volunteer, donate, or adopt(收养) a penguin through the Southern African Foundation for the Conservation of Coastal Birds.
