    If you love reading books, you must know about the book The Little Prince. It's a famous novel written by a French writer. As one of the best-selling books in history, it has been sold as many as 200 million copies in 253 languages and dialects(方言).Now, around seventy years after the birth of the book, an American director has found a way to make it into a 3D animated film(动画片).

    The book tells the story of a pilot, called The Aviator, who crashes(撞击)into the desert and meets a young prince there. However, in the film, the story starts years after the crash when The Aviator is much older. He has got a new neighbour called The Little Girl, whose mother wants her to get ready to enter the grow-up world. Slowly The Aviator shares his story with The Little Girl by writing it down and sending her a page at a time. The pages are complete with the pictures in the book, speaking about his time in the desert and taking The Little Girl to an amazing world where anything is possible.

    China is the first country in the world to see the film in two versions-in Chinese and English. The film shows The Little Girl's life and tells The Little Prince's story at the same time in a beautiful way.

    Huang Lei, who dubbed the film together with his daughter, says the film is like a childhood dream which is lost by most adults in this stressed-out society.

    "The most touching part is that every one of us was a good-natured kid like the Little Prince, and it's a pity that this good characteristic(品质)goes away as time flies," he says.

Holidays are very popular with students. They expect to relax and do something they like. However,what do holidays really mean to them?Usually,teachers will give them some homework and parents will ask them to read books,do extra exercises or take a lot of lessons. A junior high school did a survey among their students. It shows that a lot of students end up busier during the holiday. That is not only because they have many things to do,but also because they don't plan their time well. Instead of relaxing and enjoying their break,they often stay up late to finish their homework. And they find it the most painful experience. 

The following charts show some of their findings. Chart I shows different bedtimes of students during holidays. Many junior high school students go to bed late during holidays. They may forget that enough sleep is important for their health and better performance in learning. Chart II shows that more than 80% of the students read during their holidays,and 60% take extra lessons. Reading and learning remain an important part of holiday life,while doing housework and sports are not. 

During holidays,teachers should give homework which students are able to do and interested in. On one hand,teachers need to make sure students practise the key skills and knowledge when they are out of school. While on the other hand,it's important to make sure that students have enough time for something they like or want to explore. 

Parents should help their children make good plans for their holidays. Give reasonable advice and encourage them to read widely and take part in different activities. Finding a balance between having fun and improving themselves is the key to enjoying a good holiday.

There were many famous inventors and scientists in history. You must have heard about a lot of them and known them well. But you may not know Nikola Tesla. 

Nikola Tesla and his inventions were well- known to people in the area of science and electricity, but not quite known to the general public today. Nikola Tesla was a Serbian- born inventor, who later moved to the US. He was most well- known for his inventions in the area of electricity and electrical engineering. He was considered one of the greatest electrical engineers in history. 

Why was Nikola Tesla not well- known while others in his time became so famous to the public? Some said Nikola Tesla failed to make the right business decisions. Others said it was because of his "mad scientist" qualities (特质) — the same qualities that helped him come up with some of his best ideas. His qualities led him to many strange ideas. Towards his last years, he came up with many ideas that seemed unacceptable to the public at that time. He worked very hard on them, which made people think he was mad. 

Many of Tesla's inventions and patents (专利) didn't end up being used in the exact way he had planned for them. Some of those include his high- frequency lighting ideas, wireless power and the free energy receiver. 

If you are interested in green energy and reducing your electricity bill, check out products that are developed from Tesla's work. They help create green energy at home, without depending on the electricity companies and without paying for it. They help people save money through producing electricity at home, based on Nikola Tesla's inventions. 

Tesla had too many inventions. However, he never really made a lot of money out of them. He had a bigger dream: to provide free energy for all. 

Nikola Tesla is not alone. There are many other inventors who invented many useful things but are not known to the public.
