Barbara Finch, from England, started a friendship with Elizabeth Martin from New Zealand when the two were just 14 years old. And they have been penfriends for the past seventy years.

    "Seventy years is a long time and such a lot has happened," says Barbara. "I've lost my husband and my son, and she's lost her husband and her daughter. With things like that, her friendship means a lot to me."

    The two started writing letters to each other in November 1947. At that time, Barbara was a pupil. In her school, there was an exchange teacher from New Zealand. She helped her students to find penfriends from her country. Among the many penfriends, Barbara and Elizabeth were the only pair to form a long-term friendship.

    Now both 84, the pair continue to send weekly emails to tell each other about their daily lives. Barbara, who's a proud great-grandmother, has kept every single letter and card Elizabeth sent her over the years.

    "We email each other now rather than write letters, partly because it's quicker but mostly because there's no cost," Barbara says.

    The pair not only write to each other, but they also meet face to face. They have visited each other 15 times—Barbara flying to New Zealand 10 times and Elizabeth flying to England 5 times.

    "Her family has become a second family to me. She says I am the sister she never had," Barbara says.

    In January, 2017, a Chinese "diplomat(外交官)" came back to China from the United States. Many US people were at the airport and said goodbye to her. Who is the diplomat? She is a 3-year-old panda called Bao Bao.

    Bao Bao was born at the National Zoo in Washington D. C., the US in 2013. Her parents are Tian Tian and Mei Xiang. China sent them to the US in 2000."We have watched Bao Bao grow up during the past three years," said Dennis Kelly, the zoo director. "We're going to miss her so much."

    Why does Bao Bao have to come back to China? It's because all the pandas born in foreign countries must come back to China before they turn 4. This is an agreement between China and other countries.

    Bao Bao spent about 16 hours on the plane home. A zookeeper and a doctor stayed with her along the way. The zoo also put bamboo, apples, biscuits, potatoes and water on the plane. Now, Bao Bao is happy at her new home in Chengdu, Sichuan Province.

    For a 6-year-old kid, what he or she wants most may be delicious food and enough playtime. Sometimes we think children only have some simple wishes. ______ , a 6-year-old girl in the kindergarten(幼儿园) surprised her teacher.

    An Internet user Katt has a little sister called Peyton. Last week, Katt shared her sister's teacher's note(便条) online.Mrs. Petree shared Peyton's act of kindness(善良). It really touched many people's hearts. Here is the thing. Peyton did very well in class and the reward(奖赏)she chose was to sit with a friend at lunch. The teacher thought for sure who Peyton would choose. But Peyton picked a little boy who never got picked for anything. What a surprise! Mrs. Petree said kids learned to be kind when they saw Peyton's kindness. After that, other kids started to play with the boy. The boy is very different now and he's more and more outgoing

    After reading the note, Katt thought her little sister was great and that she would make the world better one day.
