My name is Robinson Crusoe, and I was born in the city of York in 1632. My father was a successful businessman. I had two elder brothers. One of them worked in the army(军队) and was killed during the war against Spain. The other was missing one day, and we never knew what had happened to him. My father gave me a good education and wanted me to be a lawyer(律师). 

However, I wanted to be a sailor(海员) and go to sea. My father was very angry with me. He didn't understand why I wanted to leave his house, where I would have an easy and comfortable life.

"Two kinds of people go to sea, " he said. "They are the very poor people and the very rich people. The poor are foolish, having no other ways to live. The rich own ships and can make money with them. You are neither too poor nor too rich, so you should stay at home with your mother and me. Your elder brother didn't listen to me, and now he is dead. If you do not listen to me, you will have a difficult life!"

I tried to do what he wanted me to do, but I couldn't. I spoke to my mother.

"Please ask Dad if he will let me have one voyage(航行) by sea, " I asked her. "When I return, I will live the life he wants me to live. "

Mum was angry. "Your father will not let you go. I don't want you to go to sea either. It's dangerous. "

I argued(争吵) with my parents for another year. Then, I went to Hull with a friend who was going to London by ship. He invited me to go with him, and I agreed. I didn't even tell my parents before leaving. I just went. That was how all my bad luck began.

Boasting a long history, China is home to many famous paintings, which are now in the hearts of more than a billion people.

Nymph (仙女) of the Luo RiverGu Kaizhi

The legend has it that Cao Zhi fell in love with the governor's daughter. However, she married his brother and the prince became upset. Later, he wrote an emotional poem about the love between the goddess and common people. In the 4th century, Gu Kaizhi, a Chinese artist, was moved by the story and illustrated the poem.

Court Ladies Adorning (装饰) Their Hair with FlowersZhou Fang

During the Tang Dynasty, the genre (体裁) of "beautiful women painting" enjoyed popularity. Coming from a noble background, Zhou Fang created artworks in this genre. In his painting, the ladies stand as if they are fashion models, but one of them is entertaining herself by teasing a cute dog.

Along the River During the Qingming FestivalZhang Zeduan

Zhang Zeduan depicted (描述) the landscape in his work. However, instead of concentrating on the vastness of nature, he captured the daily life of the people of Bianjing, present-day Kaifeng. His work shows much about life in the Northern Song Dynasty.

A Thousand Li of Rivers and MountainsWang Ximeng

Not only did officials and scholars enjoy listening to music, but they also found pleasure in depicting nature. One such painter was Wang Ximeng. He was a prodigy. Wang Ximeng painted A Thousand Li of Rivers and Mountains when he was only seventeen years old. He died several years later, but he left one of the largest and most beautiful paintings in Chinese history.

For tens of years, a phone booth (电话亭) stood in the Mojave Desert, about 75 miles southwest of Las Vegas, America. People called it the Mojave Phone Booth. It seemed unusual for a phone booth to stand in the desert (沙漠). The phone booth was said for local miners (矿工) and their families around 1950. 

Later one day, Godfrey Daniels, a man from Arizona, America, heard about the phone booth. He had the phone number and decided to call it just to see if anyone would answer. Nobody answered at first. He called the number whenever he was free. After several tries, someone actually answered the phone. Godfrey spoke with a woman. She was a miner working there. 

Godfrey put the phone's number on the Internet, and many people began calling it. Godfrey even travelled to visit the phone booth. And he was not the only person to do that. Many people went to the Mojave Desert just to see the phone booth. They often camped out, waiting to answer the special phone. Calls came in from many different states and even different countries. Answering the phone and talking to strangers became an enjoyable activity for them. They shared their own stories and even made friends with each other. 

In 2000, the phone booth was removed ( 被拆除) because visitors were causing too much stress (压力) on the environment. Although the phone booth is no longer in the desert, many people still remember it and talk about it.
