①Getting recognition（认可）from National Geographic, a famous US magazine, is the dream for many  photographers. A Chinese teenage photographer has made this dream come true.

②With his work Weed（野草）on the Wall, Gong Zijie, a 14-year-old boy from Changsha, Hunan, won the 2014 International Photography Competition for Kids in China. It was hosted by National Geographic Kids. Gong got the first place for the subject Wild Vacation. His photo shows the shadow of a weed on the Forbidden City's red walls. In photographer Li Shaobai's words, “The picture is silent but powerful.”

③Gong learned photography from his father, a professional photographer working for Hunan TV. Since the age of 4, he has been following his father to take pictures of nature and society.

④Gong is a patient photographer. When he finds something amazing, he can spend hours waiting for the perfect time to catch the moment. In his first work, Gong took the beautiful view of the sunset near his hometown. It looked simple, but Gong worked for four days to take the best photo.

⑤Now, the young photographer cares more about social （社会的）problems. In Gong's pictures of Liuyang River, hundreds of dead fish show us the deadly results of pollution. He has made up his mind to document polluted rivers at least once every year to make people pay more attention to environmental protection.

⑥ “Now photography is not only a hobby, but also a duty（责任）for me.” said Gong.

    On this day, people show love for their teachers. Students usually give their teachers Carnations（康乃馨）or some other gifts.

    Americans love to drive on their holidays. Usually, the family gets into a car or recreational vehicle(RV，旅行房车) and drives for a summertime trip across the country.

    RVs are like our houses. There are kitchens, bathrooms and bedrooms in RVs. They are big, but can be very small when you share a bed with your little brother or try to play a game.

    But RV travel is a great time with the family. You can see the country in your own "home". You can spend every night in a different place. And, you don't have to pay for hotels or restaurants, only gas(汽油). Best of all, you are free to go everywhere you want at any time.
