The Sweetest Sight

    I was in the most beautiful city in the world, yet I only wanted home.

    It was an amazing week for my husband and me-the trip of a lifetime. Months ago, when my husband told me that he would have a meeting in London. I expressed my1to go to Europe together with him. Then we asked his mother to2our two children and started off.

    During the week's time,  3visited London and Paris-as much as we could, Big Ben, the Louvre and so on. All these were beautiful places we expected to see before. We really enjoyed ourselves.

    On our last night in Paris, 4we enjoyed the night view(夜景)of the Eiffel Tower, my husband called home. His mother5the phone. In a second, my husband's face fell and he looked so worried. I could feel something6happened.

    "What's wrong?" I asked.

    He didn't answer and continued to listen. A few minutes later, he said7to me that Tony, our seven-year-old son, had fallen off his bike and8his leg. He must be sent to hospital at once.

    At that moment, Paris suddenly lost its charm(魅力).

    "I don't want to be here！I shouldn't be here！I should be home9my kids!"

    We hurried back to our hotel and then to the airport...

    Finally, we got home. We rushed into our children's bedroom. Seeing our two children, I suddenly realized the truth: there is no10sight(风景)in the world than your children's faces that greet you at home.

Jim: Sweet dumplings? I know people eat them on the Lantern festival.

Lin Jie: How great you are!

Jim：Well，on the day people will watch lantern shows at night and guess the riddles on the lanterns. The festival is on the 15th of the first lunar(农历)month. It is handed down from Tang Dynasty(唐朝)，

Lin Jie: So glad to hear that I am proud of you. Now it's time to cook the delicious food.

    My 14-year old son, John, and I saw the coat at the same time in a second-hand clothing store. It stood out among big and old coats. It was so beautiful and had a unbelievable price, $28.I looked at my son and we both said nothing, but John's eyes shone. Dark, woolen coats were popular with teenage boys, but new ones could cost several hundreds dollars. This coat was even better. John tried it on and turned from side to side, eyeing himself in the mirror. It fit him so well John wore the coat to school the next day. After he came home, I asked, "Did the kids like your coat？"

    "They love it, "he said with a big grin.

    Over the next few weeks, John changed. He was polite, less argumentative(争辩的), more thoughtful, and much happier." Good dinner, Mom, "he would say every evening. Without a word of complaining, he would carry in wood for the stove. One day when I suggested that he might start on his homework before dinner, John, who always put things off, said, "You're right. I guess I will." When I mentioned this change to one of his teachers, she joked that the coat must have changed him.

    John and I both know we should never judge a person by his clothes. But it is true that when wearing beautiful and suitable clothes, we may try to be better in thought, speech and behavior to match what is on the inside to what is on the outside.

    Nowadays, phone calls and messages help us communicate with others more often. It means that we seldom write letters now. But a TV show. Letters alive, is bringing back this old habit.

    Letters Alive invites famous actors and actresses but there are no funny jokes or different competitions. Instead, only one person walks up to a microphone and reads a letter. The letters were written by people from different times in history. For example, in one episode(集), they read a letter written by the famous writer Xiao Hong to her younger brother in 1941.

    The letter shows that Xiao Hong missed her brother so much and had great hopes for his future.

    "Every letter opens another world for us," said Guan Zhangwen, the director of the TV show. "It seems that we can experience the real lives and feelings of the writers". Since its first episode on December 5, 2016, Letters Alive has been widely praised. Many audiences(观众)say that it has provided a breath of fresh air to today's TV shows.

    Besides Letters Alive, some other cultural TV shows have also attracted(吸引)Chinese audiences. They include the Chinese Poetry Conference, a traditional Chinese poetry competition and Readers, a program that invites people to read poems and articles they like or wrote. It suggests that cultural values and true feelings are becoming our interest.

    Wonderful Friends, a 3-month-long reality weekly show on Hunan TV, came to an end. But different people have different ideas about it.

    The show invited six stars to work with other four zookeepers in Chimelong Safari Park(长隆野生动物园).The show is a programming success for Hunan TV. But animal welfare advocates(动物保护主义者们)say that is exactly a misleading(误导)to the public about the needs of animals. They think that the TV company created" stressful and harmful situations" for those animals just in need of amusement.

    But the fact is, people are more interested in TV shows with stars than in documentaries. Animal protection expert Deng Xuejian said". The program is a good way to get people closer to animals. "Animals Asia Foundation and CEO Jill Robinson was also glad to see that more and more Chinese citizens showing concern for animals." When I first began working in the country from 1985, there was one welfare group for animals in Beijing. And now there are over 100."

    Robin said on the website of Animals Asia." Today, we work with them to give a voice to wild and companion animals.

    They should not be 'medicine' or food' any longer."

    Most kids in Britain have pet bears. This animal is both furry(毛茸的)and friendly. But it cannot move or make any noise. That's because it is a teddy bear. Most teddies are in the shape of a small bear. They are usually brown and stuffed(填充)with cotton. Kids love them very much.

    Paddington bear is one of the most famous teddy bears in the world. Yet there are many types. Do you know Winnie the Pooh？He's another popular bear!

    Cute, soft teddy bears were born in the 20th century. However, they don't have just one place of birth. Both American and German toymakers made the teddy bear at the same time!

    Teddy bears have long been a popular kids' toy. They are in songs, stories and films. There are even teddy bear museums around the world. And it's not even just kids who hold teddy bears. It's a popular present for lovers, usually on Valentine's Day.

    In the UK it is popular for a newborn baby to get a teddy bear as their first gift. The day I was born, my grandmother handed me a teddy bear. She made it herself. That makes him the same age as me! I took him everywhere I went, holding his arm at nighttime and falling asleep with him. And I still have that bear with me today. It is the best gift I have ever gotten.

    What time is it？There are many ways you can find out the time. You may have a watch on your wrist(手腕).You can look at a clock on the wall. You can listen to the radio, watch TV or ring a number on the telephone to get the time. But do you know the history of how people tell the time？

    It has not always been easy to know the time. A long time ago people looked at the sun to tell the time. They could tell the time of the day by looking at the sun in the sky: morning, noon and afternoon.

    Around the year 1400, people began to use the hourglass(沙漏).It was made of glass with some sand in it. It was wide at both ends, but narrow in the middle. The sand ran from one end to the other in one hour. At the end of every hour, people turned the glass over and began again. Hundreds of years later, a machine called clock was invented.

    After that people made small clocks, so that they could carry them in their pockets. Then during World War I, men started wearing their watches on their wrists. It was easier to tell the time. Now almost everyone wears a wrist watch.
