I grew up in New Hampshire, a small town in South Canada, where in my father's words for the seasons were “Spring, Summer, Fairtime and Winter!”At that time, a week-long fair was held in the town every autumn. Thousands of people from other towns came to sell and buy things. It was the busiest time of the year.

    When “Fairtime” came, my grandma became the busiest person of the family. Grandma was a kind old lady. She was good at cooking. All her relatives liked the food she cooked. During “Fair time”, they would come to live in her house and have meals there. Grandma was always happy to look after them.

    Year after year, many people moved to big cities. There was no longer “Fairtime”. Grandma became very old and was gradually going blind. My parents and I moved to live with Grandma. We did our best to make her life comfortable. I was at high school then. What I often did at home was to help Grandma with the daily newspaper's crossword puzzle. However, she didn't look happy. She often sat in her room for hours, without saying a word.

    To attract（吸引） people to move back, the Town Hall decided to reopen the fair. One day, when I came back from school, I saw Grandma wearing her glasses, washing the dishes in the kitchen. With a big smile on her face, she looked much younger. She told me that her two nieces(侄女) would come. “They said the food I cooked was very delicious and they wanted to stay in my house again,” Grandma said happily. “They will stay here for one week and we can have a big party. That must be the busiest week I've had in years!”

    I suddenly realized that Grandma didn't want to be looked after. She wanted to be “useful” and helpful.

One day, little Mike's mother went to the river to do some washing. Before she left, she said to him, "Mike, while I am away, stay near the door and watch it all the time!" She said this because she was afraid of the thieves. 

Mike sat down beside the door. After an hour, one of his uncles came. He asked Mike, "Where is your mother?" "She has gone to the river to do some washing, " Mike answered. "Well, " said his uncle, "Now it is a quarter to two. Three hours later we are going to visit your family. Go and tell your mother. For I'm busy, I have to go now. "

After his uncle had gone away, Mike began to think: "Mother had asked me to watch the door all the time and my uncle told me to go and tell my mother. "What shall I do?" he thought and thought. Finally, he pulled down the door, put it on his back and went to the river with it. 

"Have you had your dinner yet？Now, please listen to me. I'm Gao Gao, and I'll sing Shanghai opera for you. "

With this line, it is just three months after Gao began her online broadcast（直播）. Then the Shanghai opera actress attracted（吸引）, 000 new fans. She is happy about the growing number. But there is some even better news：Many of her fans are young people.

Most Shanghai opera lovers are grey﹣haired. As they continue to age, fewer and fewer of them are able to watch live（现场的） performances in theaters. Gao was concerned about it after her first public performance. "Are many young people born with a natural dislike for Shanghai opera？"Gao once asked herself.

This past summer, Gao started to broadcast Shanghai opera online. Few people took an interest in her shows. For two hours, only about 200 people went into her broadcast. Gao was a little sad, but she didn't give up. She thought hard about how to attract young people.

Gao hit upon a few good ideas. She sang some popular songs in the Shanghai dialect（方言）. She also performed some Shanghai opera classics online. Besides, she always reads the messages from her fans. They helped her to do better. Her hard work finally paid off.

After Gao's success, other Shanghai opera actors also started to bring their shows to the Internet. More and more young people are now enjoying Shanghai opera. 

It was a fine day last Friday.
