3 . How old is “old” ?
How old is “old” ?
So, how old is old? The answer is one you’ve heard many times, from all sorts of people. “You are as old (or young) as you feel!” The calendar(日历) simply tells you how many years you have lived.
Once an unknown author wrote , “
There are many wrong ideas about aging.
A.Old is a point of view. |
B.It’s extremely terrible to be grown old. |
C.The answer has changed over the years. |
D.Your body tells you how well you’ve lived. |
E.Older people are stubborn, unable to change. |
F.Youth is not a time of life but it is a state of mind. |
G.These ideas stereotype (固化) people on the basis of age. |
4 . It warmed my heart today to walk into the Thirsty Camel downtown in the Thanksgiving Day, for a quick lunch before a haircut and library trip. Ihan, a food shop owner, said that he was refusing to take money today because it was Buy Nothing Day. To increase awareness(意识) of the strange’s over-spending nature of our society, Ilan suggested a trade for food today. He simply asked that you offer something of equal personal value for the meal you received.
At first I was really uncomfortable, wondering if it would be fair to exchange a yet to be determined “I Owe You” (IOU) for food? What could I give him of equal value? After all, his food is the best in the town!
We ended up writing our IOU’s with promises of a book, some paintings and the offer of work in a variety of ways if he needs it.
I think the idea isn’t that the trade is “equal” so much as the importance of the kind of transaction. We put thought into our offer and we had an even greater understanding for the meals we ate.
We don’t buy a lot, especially at this upcoming time of year. We don’t give gifts at all in fact. The holiday time is spent enjoying each other’s company and doing things together with family and friends. This is what seems most sensible.
Ilan is a good person. We are all lucky to have someone like this in our community.

Tom was a little boy from a town and he would spend the holiday on a farm. He had never been to a farm ago, and this was the first time in his life that he has seen such animals as goats and sheeps, pigs and cows. The first morning he got up almost before daylight to watch the farmer milk the cows. Then he wanted to help feed the other animals. The farmer gave him a lamb,told Tom he must take good care of it, as its mother had been died. Very soon the lamb will follow Tom all over the farm. Tom also learnt to feed chickens but collect the eggs. Every day he enjoyed him very much with the animals. At last the day came which he had to go back home. That was a very sadly day for him, as he felt sorry to say goodbye to all the animals on the farm.

7 . Nearly 300 miles long, up to 18 miles across and 4000 vertical(垂直的) feet down, the 8th new wonder: the splendid Grand Canyon(峡谷).
Viewing its glory, President Theodore Roosevelt called the Grand Canyon "a natural wonder, absolutely unparalleled(无比的)throughout the rest of the world". He urged Americans to preserve what he described as the "wonderful greatness, the nobleness, the great loneliness and the beauty of the canyon". More than a hundred years later, it's still easy to see why almost 5 million annual visitors call the Grand Canyon a wonder.
The canyon stretches as far as the eye can see. Some 5 or 6 million years ago, the Colorado River rushed through this land, carving out the massive canyon we see today, exposing even older layers of rock previously buried. Geologists say some are 2,000 million years old. Native Americans were the first people to make these rocky walls as their homes about 12,000 years ago.
Today the Hualapi and Havasupai Indians live deep in the canyon, balancing age-old traditions with modernity. There are no roads to this village; mules carry the mail here. But at the same time, the tribes are designing a skywalk that promises an excellent view over the canyon early next year. The bald eagle, wild and endangered American icon is another longtime resident of the Grand Canyon.

9 . The Ministry of Construction has released the names of the first group of 20 national parks, including 9 Suzhou classical gardens: Zhuozheng Garden, Liu Garden, Wangshi Garden, Huanxiu Villa, Lion Grove, Yipu Garden, Ou Garden, Tuisi Garden and Canglang Pavilion.
National parks refer to the famous city parks and gardens. Suzhou classical gardens are parts of China's precious cultural heritage (遗产) (all the 9 gardens are on the list of World Cultural Heritage) as well as a necessary part of the life of Suzhou citizens, not to mention they are also world-famous tourism resorts (胜地). In fact, their unique historical and cultural background serves to contribute to their ranking among national parks.
The earliest classical gardens in Suzhou can date back to the Song Dynasty. However, the gardens impress their visitors not only with their age-old history but also with their delicate scenes, particularly Canglang Pavilion, Zhuozheng Garden, Lion Grove and Liu Garden, the most famous four that represent different styles of dynasties of Song, Yuan, Ming and Qing.
In 1978, an imitation(仿造物) of a Suzhou classical garden was set up by Chen Congzhou (the author of the book Suzhou Classical Gardens) in the City Museum of Art in New York, US, which was the first time ever to directly introduce Chinese ancient architecture to Westerners.
