When people travel abroad(国外), they sometimes stay in the homes of the local people. This is a homestay.

    I am living with an old English couple, in the west of London. They have a clean four-bedroom house. This is a new house. It has two bathrooms and a garden with many beautiful flowers. I have a bedroom of my own.

    There are some shopping centres and a restaurant next to the house, and the house is close to an underground station. It takes about 30 minutes to take an underground to the centre of London.

    I think a homestay may be a good choice for you if it is your first time to visit abroad. The local people are friendly and ready to help. If you want to celebrate the holidays with them, you will get to know more about their culture and customs.

    In 2011, when British photographer David J. Slater was visiting a park in Indonesia, his camera was taken away by a group of black monkeys. The result was hundreds of monkey selfies(自拍照). The best ones show a monkey smiling toothily for the camera. {#blank#}1{#/blank#}

    Nobody knew they would create a copyright (版权) battle three years later.

    Last month, a website put the monkey selfies online under a collection d free photos without Slater's permission (允许). {#blank#}2{#/blank#}

    However, the website refused to do so. They said that according to US copyright law, whoever pushes the button on the camera owns the copyright to the photo. {#blank#}3{#/blank#}

    They said, "US copyright law says that works that come from a non-human source can't ask for copyright. That means monkeys don't own copyright. "

    {#blank#}4{#/blank#} He said he bought the cameras; he spent a lot of money traveling to Indonesia, and it was his carelessness that allowed the monkeys to take his cameras away.  All these have made him own the pictures, no matter who pushed the button. In a sense, the monkeys helped him take the photos, Slater said.

    {#blank#}5{#/blank#} Who do you think will win this interesting battle?

A. It was the monkeys but not Slater that pushed the button.

B. As of now, there has been no result in the Monkey Selfie case.

C. Slater then sold the photos and they became popular on the Internet.

D. Slater asked the website to take them down since he owns the copyright.

E. Slater argues that the pictures belong to him as they were taken from his camera.

    What can you do when someone hurts you? Most people may be angry or even fight with the one who hurts him or her. But it's not a good idea. The best way is to forgive him or her. Although it is not easy for us to forgive people who hurt us, it is possible. "Forgiveness makes people hopeful. And it is good for our health," says Fredric, Ph. D. the writer of the book called Forgive for God.

    But how can we forgive others?

    First, think of something beautiful and try to get yourself happy.

Second, don't wait for others to say sorry to you. If some people hurt you, they won't say sorry to you. They may just want to hurt you or they just don't see things the same way.

    Third, try to see things in others' shoes. You can write a letter to yourself from the offender's (冒犯者)point. That can make you understand others better and make yourself happier.

    At last, don't forget to forgive yourself. For some people, forgiving themselves is the biggest challenge(挑战). And it also makes you more confident.
