A lot of teenagers are good at art at school, but how would you feel if people called you “the new Picasso(毕加索)” or if presidents and other famous people collected your paintings?

Alexandra Nechita was ten when her paintings became famous all over the world. She visited Britain, France, Italy, Japan, Australia, New Zealand and her family's native place (祖籍) Romania where 5,000 fans came to see her at the airport. Alexandra said, “When it all started, I was moved. It was very exciting and I loved the traveling, but I got very tired. And I missed home.”

   “It's 8:15 on a Sunday morning,” said the officer, Tidwell, “and this sort of thing seems an unlikely adventure(冒险) at such a time. Would you mind explaining?”

   “I think you've just left this house in a manner rather than the usual one. That may be quite all right, but I'd like to make sure.” Tidwell took out his notebook and a pen. “Name, address and occupation and then, please tell me your story.”
   “Charlie Crane, lorry(卡车) driver, from Nottingham, 51 Brecon Street. My story?”
   “Yes, What were you doing like a fly on that wall, Mr. Crane?”
   “Well, I had a breakdown yesterday and had to stay the night here. The landlady's name is Mrs. Fern. She gave me breakfast at seven, and I was out of here in the right way and down at the lorry park by half past seven. It was only when I felt around for a cigarette that I realized I'd left $80 under the pillow(枕头) here. It's a habit I've got into. I even do it almost every day.”
   “I see. Why didn't you miss it when you meant to pay Mrs.? What's her name?”
   “I paid her last night. You've got to pay when you take the room, see? So I came rushing back, but it's Sunday, and she'd gone back to bed. I rang the bell and banged on the front door for ten minutes before I came round here. Up I went this pipe(管子) and the money was still there. You know the rest, and I hope you believe it because….”
   “Mr. Crane, whatever are you doing here? I thought you'd gone an hour ago.”It was Mrs. Fern.

Tan Xiaodong,15, Hong Kong, China

"It'll soon be the Chinese New Year. Before it, we'll clean the house and decorate it for good luck. Every shop is going to close for a few days and we'll go out a lot to celebrate on the streets. We might go and see the lion and dragon dances in the city center. I love this festival."

Wendy, 16, Sydney, Australia

"Australia Day is on 26th January and it's an important holiday here. We always have a Monday off, so we celebrate for three days.

Amy, 14, New York, the US

"The first Thanksgiving was celebrated hundreds of years ago when Europeans who came to America thanked God for his help. It's still a very important day for family members to be together.
