The other day, I heard from a girl. She said that her friend just got a dog. Her friend talked about the dog all the time. It made the girl feel bad because she didn't have one.
Here's what I wrote back to her:
Dear Judy, There are people who have nicer homes than us, have better jobs, or, in your case, own a cute dog you don't have. It's quite natural(自然的)to want things that we can't have, but instead, we should appreciate (珍惜)what we already have, or feel happy for people who have the thing we want. In fact, owning a dog means a lot of hard work. Dogs need care, attention, exercise and love. There's also a lot of cleaning you'd need to do for it. Dog hair and dirty paw prints (爪印)would be everywhere in your home. It's great to spend time with dogs though, so why not ask your friend if you can join her when she takes her dog out for a walk? You'd get to spend some fun time with your friend and get some exercise by walking. And who knows--one day, you might own your own dog, too. Dale |
The lord had two daughters. One, Harriet, was always sick. She never left the house. The other, Anne, loved riding. She liked to ride me, and I liked carrying her. She was kind and gentle. One day, she wanted to ride one of the new horses. Her name was Lizzie.
"Don't ride Lizzie," Anne's friend said. "You are not strong enough for her. "
Anne didn't listen.
"Don't worry about me," she said. "I can ride any horse. You ride Black Beauty."
She rode away on Lizzie. Her friend followed her on me.
Anne's friend went into a shop. Anne waited outside. She was sitting on Lizzie.
Suddenly, a boy walked toward us. He was leading some horses. They were young and wild. One of them ran into Lizzie. She was afraid. She began to run. Anne could not stop her.
"Help! Help!" she shouted.
Anne's friend ran out of the shop. He jumped on my back.
"Come on, Beauty," he said. "We must stop her."
I ran after Lizzie as fast as I could.
Soon we were getting nearer to Lizzie and Anne. Then Lizzie tried to jump over a gate. She fell. Anne fell, too.
A man was working nearby.
"Get the doctor!" Anne's friend shouted to him. "Take my horse!"
The man jumped onto my back. I ran back to town as fast as I could.
The man told the doctor about the accident (事故). The doctor rode off to help Anne.
He brought her back to the house in a coach. She was alive, but her eyes were closed. She did not speak.
She was sick for many weeks, and then she got better.
You must always ride Beauty," her father told her. "You must never ride another horse. You can always trust(信任)Beauty."
I was very proud.
①Anne rode a new horse Lizzie.
②Black Beauty ran to get a doctor to save Anne.
③Lizzie fell and Anne was hurt.
④ Anne got better after weeks.
As the days get hotter, we can stay inside and turn on the air conditioning(空调)to stay comfortable. But do you know that in ancient(古代的)China, people used a different kind of "air conditioning?
Starting from the Qin Dynasty, rich families began to store ice during winter. As summer began, they used ice to cool their homes. People would put a container(容器)with many ice cubes inside of it in their rooms. Servants(仆人)would fan the containers to make cool air.
But common people couldn't store ice. So they spent hot days near wells(井). Some people would keep their food in empty wells. The wells would keep the food cool and fresh, just like a fridge.
Chinese people also made their own summer drinks, such as well water and drinks made from herbs(草药). It is said that Kublai Khan(忽必烈)-emperor of the Yuan Dynasty-liked drinking milk with ice and sweet candy. Some people believe that it was the world's first ice cream.
It is really amazing that there are still many other ways to make them cool. You can find out some on the Internet.

Have you heard of bubble tea? It's from Taiwan. It's like a drink and a snack in one cup. Shops that sell it are opening all over.
Bubble tea starts with milk tea. Then, treats are added. They usually rest at the bottom(底部). They're sweet. People call them "bubbles". Many times, there are also bubbles on top of the drink. You will see the bubbles when you shake the drink.
Bubble tea was first made in Taiwan in the 1980s. It soon became popular. And it spread across Asia. In the 1990s, bubble tea shops started opening in the US. Now, they're everywhere.
Some bubble tea shops sell over a hundred flavors (味道)! Would you like mango? How about chocolate pudding? And don't forget the toppings. How about red beans or something else?
Bubble tea shops can be great places to have fun. In some places, kids go there to play with friends.
