    Jay, an American, wanted to write a book about famous churches (教堂)around the world. Firstly, Jay bought a plane ticket and took a trip to Columbus, Ohio, USA, thinking that he would start by working his way across the USA from East to West. 
    On his first day he was inside a church taking photos when he noticed a golden telephone on the wall with a sign that read "$10,000 per call".
Jay was intrigued so he asked a priest (牧师) what the telephone was used for.
    The priest told him that it was a direct (直接的) line to heaven(天堂) and that for $10,000 you could talk to God. Jay thanked the priest and went along his way.
    Next stop was in Des Moines, and there at a very large church, he saw the same looking golden telephone with the same sign under it. A nearby nun(修女)told him that it was a direct line to heaven and that for $10,000 he could talk to God.
    Jay decided to travel to Australia to see if they had a similar phone. He arrived at Western Australia, and again, in the church he entered, there was the same looking golden telephone, but this time the sign under it read "40 cents per call."
    Somewhat surprised, Jay asked the priest about the sign. 'Father Brian, I travelled all over the world and I saw this same golden telephone in many churches. I know it is a direct line to Heaven, but in all of them price was $10,000 per call. Why is it so cheap here?'
Father(神父)Brian smiled and answered, 'My son, you're in Australia now - this is Heaven, so it's only a local call.'

    Microsoft founder Bill Gates has talked about how to be a good parent, saying that 13 is a right age for a child's first cellphone. The father of three said on the show that his children Jennifer and Rory were not allowed having phones until their thirteenth birthday and his younger daughter Phoebe is still waiting for one.

    "We've made a rule in our family that it's 13 when you get a phone." He also said as a result his children often return home from school complaining(抱怨), "All the other kids have it. I'm the only one without it. It's so embarrassing."

    Asked if he keeps passwords(密码)to his son's and daughters' email and Facebook accounts(账号), Mr Gates said that he doesn't for Jennifer, who he said was" old enough".

    Besides their wealth, Mr and Mrs Gates, who live in Lake Medina, have said they want to raise their children as normally as possible. It is said that their kids have to do housework after school and aren't given much pocket money.

    And in 2010Mr Gates said that he wanted to give most of his $ 61 billion away rather than hand it down." That wouldn't be good for my kids or society, "he said.

    Mr Gates left Microsoft in 2008 to put his heart into charity. During the interview with host Matt Lauser, he said that helping others made him feel happy as creating software.

    "What you really feel is what you've achieved. If a piece of software gets out there and lots of people love it-it lets them get their work done in better ways-that's exciting, "he explained.

How can you remember a song for a long time? Why does your teacher use songs to teach you English? There is a scientific reason for this. 

Researchers (研究者) are studying the relationship between music and remembering a foreign language. "Singing could be a new way of learning, especially for a foreign language. The brain likes to remember things in a catchy (悦耳易记的) and relaxing way. For example, children can remember difficult words quickly when they are in a song," said Dr. Karen Ludke. If children find it difficult to learn foreign languages, this new way may help. On his blog (博客), Dr. Ludke wrote "A listen—and—repeat singing way can help to learn foreign languages and open the door for future research in this area."

Many language teachers know the importance of music and they often use it in teaching and learning. Hua Zhuying, a teacher at a Chinese language school in Washington DC, likes using songs in teaching Chinese. She said, "I use music all the time to teach children Chinese. For little kids usually we use English songs but teach them the Chinese lyrics. Not only does it work, but it is fun for children. Sometimes I think if I learned English that way when I was young, maybe I could speak English much better."

Our brain likes music in learning languages, especially for remembering. If you are still having problems in learning a language, why not try singing it out?

Years ago, I used to smoke after lunch or dinner. When I visited my brother,I would smoke1 and make sure that my niece(侄女) wouldn't see me2 I knew that she always did everything I did. I didn't want her to think smoking was right. However, when I went to the study room to smoke, she would3 me and watch me smoke from behind the door. 

Most of my family didn't know I was a 4 . A few months later, when we were at a family party, my niece looked at me and said, "I love you, aunt. I just want you to know that smoking will make you5 and die quickly. And you keep6 in the study room, thinking I wouldn't see you. So7 you know it is wrong since you are hiding it. ''

I didn't say a word. My face turned red. "What?" they shouted. Everyone was 8 when they heard that. Her mother looked at her and said, "No, your aunt doesn't smoke. You must have made a9 " . The girl answered, " Why are you trying to make me lie? That's worse than smoking. " 10 fell into silence. Soon after that , I gave up smoking and I hoped my niece wouldn't remember. I didn't want to leave a bad impression(印象) on her. 

I should say "Thank you" to my niece. When one of our family members offers an advice out of love and support (支持)is usually good idea to pay attention.

A set of photos of a boy carrying his tennis rackets in a bamboo basket has gone popular.

 The boy, Wang Fa, 14, is a member of the Va ethnic group(佤族) from Yunnan. After winning the under-14 gold medal at the ASICS Tennis Junior Tour in Guangzhou, a fan from Yunnan gave him the bamboo basket as a gift and the photos were taken.

"We always carry bamboo baskets when we work in the field. This is a usual farming tool of the Va ethnic group. I carried my rackets in this basket to remember my hometown," Wang said after the match.

 Before tennis, Wang was just a common boy from a village. But in 2016, a local club chose him as one of the first 10 local children to learn to play tennis. "I was worried at the beginning because the outside world was so different from my home," he said, adding that tennis has helped him make more friends and get a better education.

 Over the past six years, Wang, along with other players at the Yunnan Wild Elephants Tennis Club, has trained hard to improve his skills and physical strength. The children would get up at 6:30 am and practice for more than six hours a day. Every day, they needed to swing(挥动)a racket more than 7,000 times and run 9 kilometers.

"If it were not for tennis, I would still be helping out my family with farm work back home," Wang said.

 Wang's parents didn't want him to learn tennis at first because they didn't have enough money. But the tennis club offered to teach him for free. For Wang, winning theASICS Tennis Junior Tour was the beginning of a hopeful future. "I believe I will be the top on the professional stage," he said.
