An Englishman was showing a foreign visitor around London. "What's that strange building?" asked the visitor. "That's the Tower of London." "I see. How long did it take to build it?" "About 500 years." "In my country we can build it in five months." Shortly after that they came to St. Paul's Cathedral（大教堂）. "Very interesting!" said the visitor. "How long did it take to build it?"

My name is woof. You think that we have a great life，right？Wrong！I am going to tell you why.
First of all，we are bored. Bored. bored. And bored. Do you ever think about what a dog does all day？ Nothing. Nothing at all. Our owners are busy，you know，working，going to school，away from home all day. So what are we supposed to do？Watch the house or apartment？Sure. That is like watching paint dry or grass grow. Boring. That's why we get so excited when our owners come home. We bark and run around and act as if we are very happy. But we only do this because we are bored all day. If we are lucky，our owner take us for a walk.
Then there is the food. We eat the same food，meal after meal，day after day，week after week，month after month. Help！Would you like to eat the same thing all the time？No，you would not. So what makes you think we dogs like it？We don't. We hate it.
Another thing-television. Another thing-television. Dogs hate television. Our owners watch these stupid programs，hour after hour，night after night. Are there any programs for dogs on television？No. Not a single one.
So what can we do？What else can we do but sleep？And so we sleep. We dogs are not lazy，we are bored.

One day, Allan and his friend Henry went swimming in a river. It was very hot. How happy they were in the river! After they got out of the water, they played games in the sun for a while.
　On their way back, Henry saw some flowers. He liked flowers very much and ran into the green field to look at them. Now Allan was walking by himself.
　Then he heard Henry calling out, "A snake（蛇）! Help!..."
　"What's wrong with you?" asked Allan.
　"A snake bit（咬）me in the leg. Come here!"
　Allan ran over and saw a small red wound（伤口）on Henry' s leg.
　"The snake was in the grass. I didn't see it."
　"Sit down quickly"! Allan told Henry.
　Allan put his mouth at the little red wound and began to suck（吸）at it. In this way he saved （挽救）Henry's life. "Oh, Allan, it's very kind of you to help me."
　　"That's all right. We are friends and we must always help each other."

Amy Chua, well-known as the Tiger Mother, has held the attention of parents all across the US. She told Reader's Digest that she's a little strange about how her book struck so many nerves in the US. The reporter of the magazine is sharing the interview with us.
Reader's Digest: Did you want your book to be controversial (有争议的)?
Amy: I don't think it would have been controversial at all if it wasn't for the Wall Street Journal headline that was called, “Why Chinese Mothers are Superior”.
Reader's Digest: What's your view on your parenting?
Amy: My children grew up with one Western parent. My husband doesn't believe in raising his voice with the kids and we don't spank (打小孩). They were really raised in a half Asian family. My book's message is that we should try to find the balance. I believe that when children are little, you should restrict (限制) their choices. I like the traditional Chinese way. Respect authority (尊重权利) and don't just let them watch TV all the time. I don't think kids under the age of ten can make good choices. But once they start to get older, the lesson I learnt with Lulu (Amy's second daughter) is that you have to start listening to them. You have to start giving them more choices and more freedom. I really think it's important to find a balance.
I like the strict Chinese way of discipline (行为准则) and hard work when children are young. But when they're older, you have to send love to your child, you have to listen to your child and really achieve the balance between creativity, choice and freedom on the one hand, which the west is very good at, and on the other hand, hard work and self discipline, which I think traditional Chinese parenting is very good at.

    There was once a young mouse that lived in a hole in a wall. One day, the young mouse woke up from his sleep and looked out of the hole. As he looked out, a fantastic smell came to his nose. “Cheese!” the mouse said happily to himself. “I'll go and get it now and have it for breakfast.”
    But then he remembered his parents' words. His parents were very clever mice and often said to their son, “Always wait before you go for a piece of cheese.”
    So the young mouse waited quietly. Then he heard a quiet “Miaow” and he knew the cat was there. He stayed in the hole and said to himself, “I'm glad I listened to my parents and learned to wait.”
    The next day, he looked out again. He put his nose out of the hole, and the beautiful smell of cheese came to his nose again. He could see the cheese. It was only a few centimetres away. But he sat still and waited quietly. This time he did not hear any cat's noise. Instead he heard a very quiet “Woof, woof.”
    “It's a dog!” he thought. “If the dog is there, the cat won't be there. I expect the dog has chased the cat away, so I'm safe.” The mouse ran out of the hole and started eating the cheese. He did not see the cat, which caught him and ate him.
    When the cat finished her meal, she said to herself, “I'm glad I listened to my parents and learned a second language.”

"Face it，Andy．You sold your heart the day you put on that first pair of Jimmy Choo's．"That line from the movie The Devil Wears Prada is an example showing how a shoemaker has become famous in the fashion world．

Jimmy Choos （Zhou Yangjie）was born in Malaysian and he is a Malaysian Chinese，born in 1961 into a family of shoemakers．He created his first pair of shoes at age 11．His family couldn't pay for his schooling，so he dropped out at a young age．He had to work with his father to support the family．But his dream to be a fashion designer never disappeared，so he did all he could to enter an art college and finally took up a position in the fashion world through his talent and willpower．

Choo graduated from a college in London and had a small workshop there．He hit the international fashion scene when Vogue magazine described his designs in eight pages in 1988．His work was immediately popular and got love and support from Diana，Princess of Wales．

Jimmy Choo shoes are known for their very high heels（鞋跟）and pointed toes．However，he does some flats and lower﹣heeled shoes for other women．Choo co﹣founded Jimmy Choo Ltd．with Tamara Mellon，UK Vogue editor，but left the company in 2001．

Jimmy Choo shops have opened around the world，so his designs are easier to get to those who want a designer shoe，and can afford his prices．Choo also has a website where shoppers can view his ready to wear designs．The brand（牌子）of Jimmy Choo has been comparable to top brands，like Channel，LV，etc．But it's still young and has a bright future．

We can't imagine how hard it is for Choo to stand out in the worldwide fashion! He must have made greater efforts and had more difficulties than others．And so he did．So stop complaining about why good luck isn't always falling on you and devote yourselves to your work now．

Cross- country skier Man Dandan won the women's 1.4 km individual sprint here on Monday, earning China's first gold at the eighth Asian Winter Games in 2017.

"I was in good form today," said the 28 year-old girl after winning the title in the final round with 3 minutes and 48. 29 seconds. "I didn't think much, but just focused on the games. As an old member, I want to set a good example to my younger teammates by doing my best no matter what the result is."

Mikko Olavi Virtanen, the head coach of the Chinese cross-country skiing team, said after the game he was satisfied with Man Dandan's performance. "She is a super talented sprint skier. Her biggest problem before was to maintain the speed for four rounds of the competition. We have been working on that for the past seven months. I have been giving her advice, such as how to save the energy till the final round," he said, adding that Man is a good learner.

He also said that the Chinese cross-country skiing team had a huge potential. "We have quite a young team. We still have five more years to Beijing Winter Olympics. I hope we can continue this good work for a long term," he said.

Yelena Kolomina from Kazakhstan took the sliver and Ju Hyeri from South Korea got the bronze. Australia's Casey Wright finished the third in the final round but did not get a medal as a guest athlete.
