Didyou ever set up a lemonade stand (柠檬水小摊) when you were a kid？ Manyof us did and if we were very lucky, we could make enough money to buy icecream from the Good Humour Truck.

Last Saturday, Jack Yielding, a five-year-old boy from Oakville, Ontario, got $41,233from two lemonade stands and a car charity (慈善) wash. Jack gave the money to Toronto's Hospital for Sick Children, where Jack who has epilepsy (羊癫疯）, is a patient there.

    Thiswas Jack's second year to host the Lemonade Stand for sick kids, andthe whole town came to show their love. More than 1,000peoplecame to the lemonade stands on Saturday.

    "Jackis working hard to turn his lemons into lemonade to help his friends atToronto's Hospital for Sick Children," Jack'smother, JodiYielding, toldus.

    It was a sunny morning. A poor(贫穷的) young man with1 right hand came to Mrs. Brown's door. He asked her for some2.

Mrs. Brown3, "You see, young man. There are some bricks(砖头) behind my house. If you help me4 them to the front, I'll pay you twenty dollars."

    "Can't you see that I lost my right hand?5 can I do it?" The old lady smiled, put one of her hands behind her body6 then picked up one brick with7. Seeing this, the young man didn't say a word and started to work right away.

    After he did the work, the young man8 with the money from Mrs. Brown and he looked a little different.

    Two years later, the young man came again with some gifts. "Thank you for9 that day. I know you didn't need me to do the work. You just wanted to make me feel better. I learnt that I could make money by working hard, too. And now I have a pancake store and a beautiful wife."

    Think10 and you will make your life better.

"Military-style" travel has become the latest fashion among Chinese college students, who spend as little money as possible to travel to as many places as they can during the weekend, hardly taking a break or even sleeping.

To save money, they usually catch a normal-speed train on a Friday night, arrive at the destination city on Saturday morning, travel around in the city, sleep at a 24-hour restaurant for a few hours on Saturday, then repeat the same busy schedule on Sunday before returning to their university in time for classes on Monday morning. These young travelersare less concerned with in-depth(深入详尽的) experiences and more focused on checking off popular tourist destinations on their schedule. 

Hu Die, a student at Inne r Mongolia University of Technology, is one such traveler. She put together a 10-day holiday during the recent May Day holiday period and traveled to six cities. 

On April 26, she took a high-speed train to Beijing and then from Beijing to Tai'an, Shandon g Province, to climb Mount Tai. To save money, she spent 4 hours climbing up to the mountaintop rather than using a cable car. After watching the sunrise from it on April 27, she visited Dai Temple at the foot of the mountain. She then went to Jinan in the afternoon, visited Daming Lake and Quancheng Square in the evening, and on the morning of April 28 went to Baotu Spring and Heihu Spring. She traveled to Zibo to enjoy the famous barbecue in the city, went to Yantai and Weihai before May 4, when she arrived in Luoyang, Henan Province. There, she visited the Longmen Grottoes and then returned to her school on May 5.

Most people can hardly imagine how she traveled extensively in only 10days. "We do not think we are doing something ‘crazy' or ‘amazing'. We are young and energetic enough to experience such a tight travel schedule, "she said. "Moreover, when you travel with your friends, you are happy and you do not feel tired. "

Videos of them taking such trips have been posted on social media platforms, such as TikTok, Red, with much praise for their energetic spirit and high ability to achieve their plans. Others, however, question whether such a busy schedule is healthy. 

A Good Idea

There was asign on the bridge. It says, "Danger! Low(低的)  bridge." But the driver of the van did not see it. When he drove the van through the bridge , there came a terrible noise(声音), and the van suddenly stopped just under the bridge.

The driver tried to drive the van back, but he couldn't move it. The men passing by tried to help him move the van out of the bridge. They pushed(推)and pushed ,but they could not move the van back.

The driver telephoned a garage(修理厂) and, a few minutes later, a truck gothere from the garage. The man from the truck tied(拴) the van to the truck. Then he tried to use the truck to pull(拉) the van out. The truck pulled, and the men pushed, but the van did not move at all.

The men got very tired and stopped pushing. Other people were angry because they could not move their cars. No one knew what to do. Then a little girl had an idea. She pulled the truck driver's armand wanted to say something to him. The truck driver did not notice(注意)her, but the girl pulled his arm again. This time the truck driver listened, and the little girl said something in his ear.

There was a smile on the truck driver's face. He nodded(点头) when he was listening to the girl's words. He went to the van and pressed(按压) the mouths on the van's tyres(轮胎),The air came out and the van began to come down. Then the van's driver drove the van out easily.
