【推荐3】In a cold winter, a couple had to move out from the great house because of bankruptcy (破产). The husband worked day and night to support the family but with no care of his wife. So she thought, “He doesn’t love me any more. He just cares about his business... not me.”

【推荐1】The Dragon Boat Festival, the 5th day of the 5th lunar month, has a history of more than 2,000 years. It is usually in June in the Gregorian calendar.
There are many legends（传说）about the evolution（演变）of the festival. The most popular is about Qu Yuan (340—270 BC). Qu Yuan was the minister of the State of Chu and one of China’s earliest poets. Qu Yuan cared much for his country and people. In 278 B.C., he heard that Qin had finally captured（攻占）Chu’s capital, so he jumped into the Miluo River. That day was the 5th of the 5th month in the Chinese lunar calendar. After his death, the people of Chu came to the bank of the river to pay their respects（敬重）to him. The fishermen sailed their boats up and down the river to look for his body. People threw rice dumplings into the water to keep fish away from his body. People followed the customs such as having a dragon boat race, eating rice dumplings on that day. From 2008 on, the festival becomes a national holiday in China.

In China, on the Mid-Autumn Day, all the family members would get together to celebrate this special day. Last year, I could not celebrate the festival with my family because of COVID-19. But we spent that day with fun.
I still remember that evening. All the students who could not go back home had a party from 7:00 p.m. to 9:00 p.m. to celebrate this traditional festival. After the party, we went out to watch the moon. The moon is special in Chinese culture. On the Mid-Autumn Day, the moon is full. Its round shape stands for family reunion (团圆) as well as good luck. The moon also appears in lots of Chinese poems, which means that the poet is missing his home, friends or the loved ones. So we also listened to some poems read by one of our classmates. In that way, nobody felt lonely even though we were far away from our homes.

I do not know what time of the year; It would be tonight in the palace on high. —Translated by Xu Yuanchong NOTES: ①parts of a poem | Homesickness Night Before my bed a pool of light; Can it be hoarfrost② on the ground?

A group of classmates got together to visit their old teacher.
These classmates all had good jobs and made lots of money. They talked happily. Then their talk soon turned to the problems in work and life. The teacher went to the kitchen and came back with a large pot of coffee and many cups—china(瓷器的) ones, plastic(塑料的) ones and glass ones. Some are plain(朴素的) looking, some are expensive and some are lovely. The teacher told them to help themselves to the coffee.
When all the students had a cup of coffee in hand, the teacher said, “Can you see that all of you took nice-looking and expensive cups, leaving behind the plain and cheap ones? You want only the best for yourselves and that is the source(根源) of your problems.”
“What all of you really wanted was coffee, not the cup. But you went for the best cups and then began looking at each other’s cups.”
Now think about this. Life is the coffee, which is the most important. And the jobs, money and social position(社会地位) are the cups. They are just things to hold, and do not change the life. Sometimes you care only about the cups, but you don’t enjoy the coffee. So don’t let the cups drive(驱使) you, but enjoy the coffee instead.
