Forgetful Nick

After school on Friday, when Nick got home, he saw Grandpa's car! Nick smiled and walked quickly up the front sidewalk.

He reached the door and said hello to Grandpa. Then Mom called from the kitchen. "Put away your schoolbag first."

Nick's smile vanished(消失). "Oh, no," he said, "I forgot to bring my schoolbag home."

Mom was angry. "Nick, you forgot your schoolbag again! You need to be more careful!"

Grandpa turned to Nick and winked(眨眼), "I'm afraid you inherited(遗传) your forgetfulness from me, Nick. Your grandma used to call me 'Forgetful Jones'."

Grandpa's words made Nick feel a little better. But he still felt mad at himself.

After dinner, Grandpa suggested going for a walk. As they walked around the corner, Grandpa said, "I'll tell you a little secret, Nick. We're the same. We like to do things, make things and have fun! That's why we sometimes forget things."

"But Grandpa, how did you stop forgetting? How can I stop forgetting?" Nick asked.

"Well," said Grandpa, "I know a few tricks(窍门). I use them to help me remember important things. For example, it's important to turn off my car lights when I park the car. So every time I get in the car, I put my notebook in my lap(大腿)."

"I saw it!" said Nick. "I always wondered why you did that!"

"Now you know my secret," said Grandpa, "It's a simple little trick, but it works. Why don't we put our heads together and come up with a schoolbag-remembering trick?"

Zhang Heng was a famous scientist in the history of China. His invention Hou Feng Seismometer was a great success and it helped us understand the world better.

(AD 78-139)

It was invented.

Zhang Heng was born in Nanyang in the eastern Han Dynasty. At that time, there were many earthquakes every year. People thought they were from ghosts. Zhang Heng, however, didn't believe it. He tried to find ways to study earthquakes for many years and in 132 he invented the first seismometer in the world.

It was used.

But at first, people didn't believe it and all laughed at him. In February, 138, Zhang heng's seismometer told there was an earthquake in the west of Luoyang. After four days, three earthquakes really happened in Luoyang area. It was believed to be useful from then on. However, it was lost 1700 years ago.

It was reproduced(再生产).

Scientists have been trying to reproduce one like that. In 2012, the latest reproduced seismometer was successfully listed in Shanghai museum. It was reported to have been a little helpful during the earthquakes in Tangshan, Yunnan and Sichuan. It is hoped to be improved better soon and be able to predict coming earthquakes one day.

One windy spring day, I noticed young people having fun using the wind to fly their kites. Colorful creations of different shapes and sizes filled the skies like beautiful birds flying and dancing. As the strong winds blew against the kites, a string (线) kept them in control.

Instead of blowing away with the wind, they rose against it to achieve great heights. They shook and pulled, but the restraining (控制的) string and the cumbersome (笨重的) tail kept them in control, facing upward and against the wind. As the kites struggled against the string, they seemed to say, "Let me go! Let me go! I want to be free!" They rose beautifully even when they fought the restriction of the string. Finally, one of the kites succeeded in breaking loose (松散的). "Free at last," it seemed to say. "Free to fly with the wind."

Yet freedom (自由) simply put it in the control of an unkind wind. It fell down to the ground and landed in a mass of weeds and string against a dead bush. "Free at last", free to lie powerlessly in the dirt, to be blown helplessly along the ground, and to stop lifelessly against the first obstacle (障碍物).

How much like kites we sometimes are. The Heaven gives us adversity (逆境) and rules, rules to follow from which we can grow and get strength. Some of us break away from the rules so hard that we never reach the heights we might get to. We keep part of the rules and never rise high enough to get our tails off the ground.

Let us each rise to the great heights, knowing that some of the rules that we may be angry about are in fact the strong force that helps us achieve.
