Edward got up early on the New Year morning. He ran into the street to say "Happy New Year" to people he might meet. When he came back, his father gave him two bright, new silver dollars. He had wished for a long time to buy some pretty books that he had seen at the bookstore.
He left the house with happiness, expecting to buy the books. As he ran down the street, he saw a poor family.
"I wish you a Happy New Year," said Edward, as he was happily walking on. The man shook his head.
"You are not from this country?" asked Edward. The man shook his head, for he could not understand or speak Edward's language. But he pointed to his mouth, and to the children shaking with cold, as if to say, "These little kids have had nothing to eat for a long time." Edward quickly understood that these poor people were in need. He took out his dollars, and gave one to the man and the other to his wife.
They were excited and said something in their language, which meant, "We thank you so much that we will remember you all the time." When Edward came home, his father asked about the books he had bought.
"I haven't bought books," said Edward. "I gave my money to some poor people." He went on, "I think I can wait for my books till next New Year."
"My dear boy," said his father, "here are some books for you. I saw you give the money cheerfully to the poor German family. It was nice of a little boy to do so. Be always ready to help others and every year will be a Happy New Year. "
You may have heard the saying "The Yangtze River is China's mother river." It is almost 6,400 kilometers long. As the world's third longest river, it covers one-fifth of China's land area. The Yangtze River Economic Zone(长江经济带) covers eleven provinces and cities, making up about forty percent of China's total population and GDP.
On December 26th, 2020, China passed the Yangtze River Protection Law, which could work on March 1st, 2021. It is the first law to protect a waterway in China.
The mother river is in great need of protection because something is wrong with it. For example, because of overfishing and water pollution, some fishes in the river have died out there. There's also desert-field land and soil pollution near the river.
According to the law, fishing will not be allowed in all of the Yangtze's natural waterways, including its tributaries(支流)and lakes. Those who are caught fishing will be fined(罚款) 50,000 to 500,000 yuan.
Digging sand will be strictly controlled in the river. Many companies are digging sand along the river. However, this has led to lower water levels on the river, which has caused the river's water to decline.
Companies and factories along the river will need to work on green development. If their activities do harm to the waterways, they will be moved away, the law says.
A mind map(思维导图)is a tool that connects information with a central subject. A student said, "I thought making a mind map would take a lot of time but in fact it saves much time. "
How to make a mind map? Now follow these rules for making wonderful mind maps.
Why? Because starting in the center lets your brain spread out in all directions and express itself more freely and naturally.
Use a picture for your central idea. Why? Because a picture is worth a thousand words and helps you use your imagination. It helps get your attention and makes you work excitedly!
Connect your main branches(分支)to the central picture and connect your second - and - third - level branches to the first and second levels, etc. Why? Because your brain works by connection. If you connect the branches, you will understand and remember a lot more easily.
Why? Because each picture, just like the central picture, is also worth a thousand words. So, if you have 10 pictures in your mind map, they are already worth 10,000 words of notes.
Try to use more colors. Why? Because colors add great energy to your creative thinking, and it's fun!

All the runners stood nervously at the starting line. All of them had prepared themselves for this important race.
Bill's life was with disappointment. Primary school had been a long hard time for him. Of all the reading skills, he even couldn't pick up the one though he had tried many times. Bill tried hard. But in the following years he still failed to catch up with his classmates.
Then one day his teacher said, "I'm sorry to have to tell you this, but Bill isn't trying anymore. He has given it up ."I was afraid that Bill might have forever lost heart, although he .
I had a talk with Bill. "Though I was the slowest one in primary school, my parents and teachers were really . Because of that, I went to a music school . Now as you know, I'm a . We think achievements come easily to others. Life usually isn't like that. The person who has succeeded is usually only a few percent." It seemed that Bill had realized it.

In 1988, Wang Chengbang retired(退役) from the army. Instead of enjoying a relaxing life, he volunteered to plant trees in Xinjiang.
It is not an easy job. The high temperature makes it difficult for anyone to work day after day in the sunshine. It also makes it hard for the small trees to grow up. Besides, water shortage(短缺) is a big problem. In fact, most of the trees died at first.
But Wang Chengbang would not give up. "After trying many different ways, I have learned how to grow young trees in a better way," said Wang Chengbang. He also worked out new ways to save water. With his hard work, more and more trees have been planted. So far, he has planted more than 1.5 million trees. Those trees prevent desertification(沙漠化) making the air cleaner and protecting people from the hot sun.
Wang Chengbang is also successful in fighting cancer(癌症). In 2005, he had cancer and was told that he had only six months to live. However, he continued taking care of his trees rather than lying on the hospital bed. "Working is the best medicine. Planting trees helps to fight cancer, "he often jokes.

When things around the house stop working, what do you usually do with them? If you're like a lot of people, you probably just throw them away.
In some areas, it's difficult to find people who can make repairs, and fixing things can be quite expensive. Also, some small objects are so inexpensive that it's often easier to just buy a new one.
In 2009, Martine Postma from the Netherlands(荷兰)decided there must be a better way. Her method was Repair Cafes: places where people can take broken things. There they will find tools and volunteer experts who are ready to help with repairs.
Postma's first Repair Care opened on Oct. 18, 2009, in Amsterdam, and was a huge success. News of the cafe spread, and people began asking how they could start their own. In 2011, Postma built the Repair Care Organization. This organization provides help for those hoping to begin their own neighbourhood repair group.
Today, there are about 2,000 Repair Cafes around the world with meetings usually taking place once a month. Around 25 objects are repaired during each meeting. Everything is free, but donations(捐赠) are greatly welcome.
The cafes not only provide help with repairs, but they also make people closer in the community. Neighbours get to know one another as they work together on projects. Valuable knowledge is passed. Moreover, broken things are kept rather than thrown away. It does good to protecting the environment.
