Lisa was a businesswoman who often traveled by plane. One day her husband Sam drove her to the airport and he stayed with her waiting for the security check before the plane took off. They found the line took longer than before.

This was due to a man in front of them. Because of strict safety concern, his package was not allowed on the plane. Even though the man begged again and again for a long time, it was no use. He was asked to throw the package into the nearest rubbish bin, and so he did. Seeing the man’s sad expression, Lisa, before parting from her husband, asked him to do something strange.

After the plane landed, she quickly called Sam to see if he had taken the package back. Sam took some photos of what was inside the package. On seeing the photos, she understood why the man was so sad. It was a glass snowball with a picture of a little girl. On the bottom of it was carved with “We love you Katie. 01/25/2016.”

Lisa and her husband went online to look for its owner. The photos were shared more than 48,000 times in a week! Soon, with the help of a global supermarket, they found the person who had bought the snow globe: Richard Milton, and with the help of an express company, they returned the package to him.

Richard, grandpa of Katie, was moved to tears. The true story behind the snowball was that the words on it did not represent a date of birth. It was the date of Katie’s adoption. The globe was to show everyone how welcome Katie was in her new family.

Whenever Lisa and Sam look back on the whole event, they are filled with great pride, for what they saved is not only a gift but also love.

Kids are three times more likely to choose to be Internet celebrities (名人) than astronauts, a survey found recently. Many are already on their way - more and more children are now making and sharing videos on social media.

Meanwhile, education experts worry that going after Internet fame won’t be good for children in the long run. Their biggest concern is that kids don’t know how being on the Internet today might affect them in the future. The parts of the brain that people use to make decisions don’t fully mature until around age 25, so children cannot imagine how their future might be affected by what they share now.

What’s worse, some parents, who are crazy about becoming famous on their own, can’t watch out for the best interests of their own children. A young mother, Michelle Hobson, was accused of starving and kicking her children when they didn’t do what she wished for in the videos. She was charged with child abuse and ordered to distance herself from kids.

Keeping famous on the Internet takes much time and patience, too. It can distract students away from homework, sports and other activities. For example, one of the superstars, 14-year-old Emma Garza, dropped out of school to become a Vlogger (video blogger). She said that making videos was so tough that she couldn’t make time for study and even suffered back pain and weakening eyesight.

Although we don’t yet know the effects on a child’s development by constantly performing to entertain others, we can easily imagine that the effort to attract viewers will be less helpful to a kid, compared with spending that time reading a book. For a kid today, becoming an Internet superstar might not only be more popular than being an astronaut. It might also be more dangerous.

Human’s fingerprint can be seen across the planet today, from the pyramids to the skyscrapers and from roads to agriculture. But what would the world look like if humans had never existed?

A scientist has painted a picture of the world without modern humans. “I think it would be an overgrowing place with a wealth of animals ranging across all continents,” said Gilbert Williams, a biologist in Australia.

Human beings have shaped the world at the expense of many species, from the dodos to dinosaurs, which we drove to extinction through unsustainable activities. The extinction rate on Earth today is more than 100 times what it would be without humans. In other words, human beings hit this planet like an asteroid from space, and the “dust” is still affecting the livelihood of wildlife.

Scientists also believe human beings played a key role in the disappearance of large mammals. Without humans, massive animals would live across Europe. Meanwhile, the Americas would be home to bears and elephants, along with unique species like giant mammoths (猛犸象). “In a world without humans, there would be a much bigger diversity of large mammals,” Dr. Gilbert said. They survived climate changes and likely could have survived to the present day were it not for the pressure humans placed on them.

The climate might also be different. Though activities such as the burning on fossil fuels, human beings have a great impact on Earth’s climate by raising the average global temperature. Earth, therefore, would have been much cooler without us.

However, human beings are not the only intelligent creatures on this planet. There’re no reasons why other intelligent animals couldn’t have evolved like that eventually, given enough time. “Removing us might have opened the door for others,” Dr. Gilbert said. “Maybe they would make all the same mistakes that we’ve done. Who knows?”
