One day the great philosopher met a man, who ran up to him excitedly and said: “Socrates, do you know what I just heard about one of your students?”
“Wait a moment,” Socrates replied. “Before you tell me, I’d like you to pass a little test. It’s called the Test of Three.”
“Test of Three?”
“That’s correct.” Socrates continued. “The first test is Truth. Are you sure that what you are going to tell me is true?”
“No,” the man replied, “actually I just heard about it.”
“All right, so you don’t really know if it’s true or not,” said Socrates. “Now let’s try the second test, the test of Goodness. Is what you are going to tell me about my student something good?”
“No, on the contrary...”
“So,” Socrates continued, “you want to tell me something bad about him even though you’re not sure it’s true?”The man shrugged (耸肩), a little embarrassed (尴尬的).
“The third test – the filter (过滤) of Usefulness,” Socrates continued. “Is what you want to tell me about my student going to be useful to me?”
“No, not really...”
“Well,” Socrates said, “if what you want to tell me is neither true, nor good, nor even useful, why do you want to tell me at all?”

【推荐2】The end of 2019 and the beginning of 2020 have undoubtedly been a hard time. Diseases, earthquakes and forest fires have begun a new year like never before. While those of us in China have been asked to stay at home for a quiet winter, many Australians have been forced to leave theirs during a “hot and fiery” summer.
I've spent at least ten summers in Sydney, Australia. Unlike summers in Shanghai, the weather there is quick to change. A really hot day is usually followed by a few cool days and some rain. That's why the average summer temperature is only 26℃. This year , the average temperature was about 1.5℃ higher.
"1.5℃" - that's a number we have seen before. In 2018, the United Nations reported that we needed to keep temperature increases below 1.5℃. At the time, many of us didn't really understand what it meant. " It's just a number," we thought. Well, now we know.
The amount of fire and smoke in Australia this year has never been seen before. Over a billion wild animals have been killed. Anybody you talk to would say that these are the worst bushfires (森林火灾) they have ever seen. I was lucky and made it back to Sydney one day before the fires forced the roads to close. Thousands of others were trapped and had to be rescued by emergency services.
Our goal for the past few years has been to limit global(全球的) warming to 1.5℃. We now know what could happen if we didn't succeed.

【推荐3】My good friend
One Friday morning in September, our teacher, Mrs. Ferrara, told us that a new student was joining the class. “Her name is Luz,” said Mrs. Ferrara. “She is from the Lakeland School. She is interested in maths and music.”
Luz walked into our classroom on Monday morning. She was using a folding cane(折叠杖). I think she used it to make sure her feet would not knock into things. Mrs. Ferrara gave her a seat in the front of the room. Her desk was far from the window. Maybe the bright light near the window made trouble for her.
Some of the children wanted to help Luz get in line for lunch. She refused quietly: “Thanks, but I don’t need help.” Jose tried to help her walk downstairs to lunch, but again she answered, “Thank you, I don’t need help.”
I introduced myself at lunch. “Hi, Luz, I am Sasha, and I came from Russia last year.” She replied softly, “Hi, Sasha. I was born in California, but my parents came from Mexico. ”
Luz seemed to keep away from us. I thought she looked a little sad. One day, I dared to ask. “Why are you sad, Luz?”She looked at me and didn’t say anything for a moment. Then she said, “I miss my friends in my old school. They knew me already. They knew what I could do. They knew when I needed help and when I didn’t.”
In October, things began to get better. It was time for chorus (合唱队) to begin practicing. Luz and I both joined. Luz had a great voice! When clubs were announced, Luz chose Math Club. She was a math whiz! Soon Luz was helping others in the class who had difficulty with math. Luz looked happier now. She talked more.
Luz became very special to me. We talked and shared our secrets during break. We visited after school. Sometimes on weekends, our families went out together. We became good friends. I could tell Luz anything. She could keep secrets. She was a good friend.

The answer is that charm（美德） can be more attractive than beauty. Betty is the main character in a TV show Ugly Betty. The show is about her life as an office worker at a fashion magazine in New York.
The TV show has just started. Betty has many exciting experiences and romantic stories. Betty is often looked down on and laughed at by the people around. But she manages to do better than others with her hard work, charm and wisdom. The show tells us about how a girl goes from an ugly young duck into a beautiful swan.
Though you may know the ending of the show from the beginning and the story is familiar to many of us, it has still been a big success in the USA. It has attracted a large number of viewers and won two Golden Globes awards, one of the highest honors for a television program in the USA. “I think you can see a bit of Betty in all of us, and I mean men as well, because it's about the underdog (弱者)”, says Ashley Jensen, who plays one of the characters on the show.
