    Once upon a time, there lived a teacher in a small town. He often taught his students in special ways. Once he sent four of his students to go to a small farm to see apple trees in different seasons. The first student went in winter, the second in spring, the third in summer, and the last in autumn.

    After the four students came back, the teacher called them together. They described their feelings to the teacher. The first student said that there were no leaves on the trees. It made him very disappointed(失望的). The second student said his eyes were full of light green. It made him feel hopeful. The third one disagreed. "What are you talking about? How pretty the trees were! The sweet smell(气味) of the beautiful flowers is everywhere." The last one shook his head. He only saw a lot of apples on the beautiful trees.

    The teacher smiled and told his students none of them were wrong. They each just saw one season. He continued, "The trees are not the same in different seasons. You can't judge(评价) a tree by only one season."

    Everything has different sides in our life. Don't hurry to make a conclusion(结论) before seeing the whole of it.

    How do you turn your interests into a business (生意)? Mohammed Ali, 15, a teen gamer from Dewsbury in West Yorkshire, UK, is a good example.

    At the age of 12, he learned how to code (编程) by using YouTube and even made his own video game. Users have to pay 5.99 pounds (56 yuan) per month to play the game. He has already made 30,000 pounds. He also makes websites and is working on a finance app (理财应用软件), which will be open to the public in August.

    Ali has saved lots of money for his future university costs and even bought two sofas for his family's living room.

    "When I first started making money, I thought I'd just spend it all. Then I thought, why should I spend it all? I save most of it in the bank, because I want to do more in the future," he told the Daily Mail.

    He became interested in computers when his parents bought him one at the age of 6. He often played video games on his computer. But after playing so many games, he decided to make his own.

    Then, Ali learned how to code using YouTube videos and by reading books on the subject. In 2012，he made his own game called Project 2006 after working on it for seven months. It was a role-playing game and more than 3, 000 people are members. After his game became popular, he started a website-making business.

    In the future, he wants to go to university and study computer science. "I'm looking forward to studying computer science, not business because I've got a lot of experience in business already," he told the Daily Star.

Online classes in space got lots of attention among Chinese students. The "classroom" in space station is about 400 kilometres away from the earth. The space classes make the young proud of our country. As a special "teacher", Wang Yaping is regarded as （看作）"the most beautiful astronaut（宇航员）. 

Wang Yaping was born in a small village in Shandong in 1980. She studied hard all those years. She was good at all subjects, especially sports. Luckily, in 1997, she was accepted by Changchun Flight Academy. 

Wang's space dream started in 2003, when China sent its first astronaut Yang Liwei into space. She told herself, "China now has a male astronaut. When will there be a female one?" At that time, Wang was a pilot in the Chinese army. After having safe flights （飞行）for 1, 600 hours during nine years in the training centre, Wang was a strong candidate （候选人）to become an astronaut in 2010. In 2013, Wang realized her space dream. She was sent to space by Shenzhou— 10. She joined the team of Shenzhou— 13 in 2021 and flew into the space for the second time. 

However, it is difficult to be an astronaut. She has to experience a lot of pain that most people can't stand and keep training all the time. Wang Yaping told Xinhua, "The space environment won't change because you are a woman. " She pushed herself hard, getting the same training as men, including the pull— ups and barbells（杠铃）. That finally made her dream come true. 

"You are on the way to success as long as you stick to your dreams, " Wang Yaping said. She set a good example to the young. Millions of students are encouraged and inspired（受鼓舞）by the most beautiful astronaut. 

These are Mike's friends at school.
