    That warm day was the only day of the week without rain. I opened the door, took a seat and began to enjoy the wonderful sunshine. Suddenly, I noticed that the house near mine had been sold. An elderly lady was in front of the door, with some beautiful flowers beside her. I walked to her. She looked to be in her early eighties and had the prettiest white hair.
    “ Hi! My name is Karmen,” I said smiling brightly at the old lady. She smiled back and said,” Hello, Karmen. I'm Kitty.” Her voice was very strong for someone at her age. Later, I learned that she was alone and had no family or relatives to help her. From that day on, I often visited her and helped her with her housework and sometimes she gave me some delicious food. A year passed, and I considered her to be one of my best friends.
    One day, I walked over for my morning visit and knocked on the door, but there was no answer. I knocked again, and she didn't still turn up. So I let myself in, using the key she had given me. I checked her living room and then her kitchen. I finally went into her bedroom, and she was lying peacefully on her bed. Beside her there were two notes. One was her will(遗嘱)， which said all that she had would be given to me. The other was a thank-you note. I went to her bedside and cried sadly.
    Though several years has gone by, I still miss her deeply. Whenever I look at the beautiful flowers in front of her house, I remembered the wonderful friendship we had.

   James is a good student and he has lots of friends，but he also has a problem．Some older boys are bullying(欺负)him at school．James is very unhappy and he doesn't know what to do about it．Here are some suggestions to him and other teenagers in this situation．
   Don't feel worried．It's not your fault(过错)! Being bullied can make you feel very lonely and angry，but you are not alone．Don't feel that you have to hide the problem．You should find a person you can trust，and tell them．It might be your teacher，your parents，or even your friend's parents．After you tell someone，you will get some support and feel some relief(解脱)．
   Speaking to an adult might make you nervous，but here are other things you can do．Some people express their feelings more easily on paper．Write a letter to someone or keep a diary．Include all the details(细节)about what the bullies do, as well as when and where the bullying happens．You can use it as proof to show what is going on．And it is a wonderful idea to
   show your letter or diary to a teacher or another responsible adult．Then the bullies will feel very afraid if their names appear in a letter!
Also，don't show you are sad and don't try and fight with the bullies. You could get in trouble yourself. Ignore them and just walk away. The bullies will soon stop.

A man is going to open a shop selling hats. He wanted a good sign to put over his shop. He wrote:

JOHN BROWN HATTER
Makes and Sells Hats
for Ready Money

The first friend gave him the advice that the word “hatter” wasn't needed. So John crossed out the word “HATTER” . Then he came to another friend for advice. This friend said that it was not polite to say “for ready money”. So he crossed out “for ready money”. The sign now said:

JOHN BROWN
Makes and Sells Hats

One day a friend was passing his shop. He saw this sign and said that when a man bought a hat, he didn't care who made it. So John crossed out that word, too.
But when another friend saw “ John Brown Sells Hats”, he said , “ Of course you sell hats. No one thinks you give them away for free.” So, at last the sign read:

JOHN BROWN

Mum went to Peter's bed and said, “I want to borrow Tim's radio for you?” Peter touched the letter in his pocket (口袋) and said, “Thanks, Mum!” “Today I want to send you a special gift on the radio. It'll surprise you. I will come back soon,” she said and quickly left in the heavy snow.
Peter took out the letter. He got it this afternoon. Mum didn't know about it. Mum wrote in the letter: The 26^th of this month is my son Peter's birthday. Could you bless（祝福）him? He has been ill for one month. The radio station wrote in the top: I'm sorry that we have cancelled（取消） this program.
Mum came back with a radio. There was lots of snow on her clothes. And the program began quickly. Next, Peter got very surprised. “At first, we planned to cancel this program, but lots of people like it very much. Now, let's bless the following（下列的） people together. Kate, Martin, Linda┅” The list was very long. Mum was too tired and she fell asleep. Peter didn't hear his name to the end. But he was quite moved. He woke up Mum, “Mum, I heard my name just now. Thank you for your gift, Mum!” Mum smiled with tears. Peter also smiled with tears. He believed it was his best gift.

    There was once a young mouse that lived in a hole in a wall. One day, the young mouse woke up from his sleep and looked out of the hole. As he looked out, a fantastic smell came to his nose. “Cheese!” the mouse said happily to himself. “I'll go and get it now and have it for breakfast.”
    But then he remembered his parents' words. His parents were very clever mice and often said to their son, “Always wait before you go for a piece of cheese.”
    So the young mouse waited quietly. Then he heard a quiet “Miaow” and he knew the cat was there. He stayed in the hole and said to himself, “I'm glad I listened to my parents and learned to wait.”
    The next day, he looked out again. He put his nose out of the hole, and the beautiful smell of cheese came to his nose again. He could see the cheese. It was only a few centimetres away. But he sat still and waited quietly. This time he did not hear any cat's noise. Instead he heard a very quiet “Woof, woof.”
    “It's a dog!” he thought. “If the dog is there, the cat won't be there. I expect the dog has chased the cat away, so I'm safe.” The mouse ran out of the hole and started eating the cheese. He did not see the cat, which caught him and ate him.
    When the cat finished her meal, she said to herself, “I'm glad I listened to my parents and learned a second language.”

Primary school students in Changsha, Hunan Province, have started to learn the Changsha dialect (方言) in a course for them to choose which was newly offered this term.

More than 20 third-grade students from a local primary school have signed up for the course. Many language professors at some major universities in Hunan are teaching it.

Besides the skills of listening, speaking, reading and writing, students will also get knowledge about the idioms, nursery rhymes (童谣) , figures of speech and culture behind the dialect, according to Luo Xinru, Chinese language professor at Hunan Normal University and one of the teachers of the course.

As our country has spent a lot of energy promoting standard Mandarin (标准普通话) , lots of young children have not learned how to speak local dialects, she said. That's why the country has started to protect different language resources in recent years, she added.

The Ministry of Education carried out the National Language Resource Protection Project in 2015 to do some surveys and better protect its language resources. Our country has set up the largest language resource center in the world, according to the ministry.

Luo said promoting Mandarin and using dialects are not contradictory and children have the ability to speak them at the same time.

"Dialect protection is very important and different dialects which carry different cultures and values should not and will not disappear," she said. "We do not expect all children taking the course to learn perfect Changsha dialect, but they should understand the importance of different dialects and perhaps be willing to dive into the research and protection of them as they grow older."
