Once there was a famine (饥荒) in the town. A rich and kind baker(面包师) sent some bread to twenty of the poorest children. He said to them, “In this basket there is some bread for you. Each of you can have one loaf(一条面包) every day until the hard days end.

The impatient children couldn’t wait to gather around the basket. They shouted and fought for the bread because each wished to have the largest loaf. At last they went away without even thanking the good gentleman. But Shirley, a poorly-dressed little girl, did not join them. Instead, she remained standing modestly in the distance. When the other children had left, she took the smallest left in the basket, kissed the gentleman’s hand and went home.

The next day the children were as rude as before. Poor shy Shirley still took the smallest loaf . When she got home, her mother cut the bread open. Many new shining pieces of silver fell out of it. Her mother was very surprised and said, “Take the money back to the good gentleman at once, for it must have got into the loaf by accident. Be quick, Shirley! Be quick!”

But when the little girl gave the rich man her mother’s message, he said, “No, no, my child. It was no mistake. I put silver pieces into the smallest loaf to reward you because you are a kind and honest girl. Go home and the money is yours now.”

Do you want to have a nice trip in your spare time? Maybe Yunnan is a good choice for you. There you can enjoy different places of interest.

Being trapped in an elevator(电梯)can be one of the worst experiences of one’s life. Some people who have such experiences may be afraid to use elevator again. In fact, there are some useful tips to follow when people are in trouble with the elevator.

First, take deep breaths and keep calm. Too much fear will add to your panic(恐慌) and make you too nervous to think clearly. Tell yourself to be patient and believe that nothing is impossible.

Secondly, use the emergency(急救) call inside the elevator or your mobile phone to let people outside know your are struck in the elevator. There is an emergency call on the wall of each elevator. You may use your mobile phone to give light and find it. The phone number can be found around it.

Thirdly, putting op messages on Wechat(微信) is also a good idea to allow more people to find you are in need of help. If help hasn’t come, knock the door to get attention from other people in the building.

Fourthly, move less and try to relax. Even if the workers have known your situation, it may take them a long time to repair the elevator and bring you back to safety. Instead of keeping moving all the time, you are advised to keep still and relax yourself as much as possible, or you will make yourself tired out. Make sure that you are fine when the door is open.

Although many people read online, books have not gone out of fashion. In Beijing, Guangzhou and Shanghai, lucky passengers may find books somewhere on the underground.

The Fair, an online publishing company, has put 10,000 books on the underground, planes and taxis to make people more interested in reading. This project is called “Mobook”.

“Mobook” gets its idea from “Books on the Underground”, a community project in London. The purpose of “Books on the Underground” is to encourage people to read more. Zhang Wei, the CEO of the Fair also wanted to do something in China. He sent an e-mail to Ms Cordelia Oxley, the leader of “Books on the Underground”, describing his plan and explaining the rules of “Mobook”. The leader replied to him in just two hours, saying that she thought the idea was great and she would offer help if needed.

But “Mobook” project is a little different from that in London. It has its own online system. People who want to donate books must give their information online. QR code stickers (二维码标签) are then sent to their addresses. The book owners should stick them on the books before donating books and reader can know where the books are from with the help of QR codes.

“Mobook” is a hot topic. Now thousands of bookworms have already taken part in the project. Zhang Wei said, “I am happy to see more and more people share their views (观点) about the books online and enjoy the happiness that reading brings to them.”

The problem with the environment is becoming more and more serious. You may think it is the government’s job to take action and it is difficult for the individual (个人) to protect the environment. In fact, there are several easy thing that can be done to make a difference.

You can start your action by learning to recycle. Although this appears really simple, there are many people who still throw glass bottles and metal cans (金属罐) into their common rubbish bins. Do you notice that our government has put many special rubbish bins in public places? They all have glass and metal recycling signs. If you spend a few seconds washing the cans and bottles and put them into the rubbish bin, you will be on the path to protect the environment.

One more big waste product is newspapers. Most people will take their newspapers and throw them into rubbish bins when they finish reading them. In fact, there are many other things you can do with an old newspaper. For example, newspapers are something useful for cleaning windows. You can clean windows with newspapers rather than paper towels and window cleaners for a perfect shine.

What else you can do is walking a bit more. Many people usually get into their cars and drive one block to get cola at the local shop. If you walk to the shop, you can not only spend less time, because you needn’t try to find a parking place, but you will save money on oil. If you wish to save even more on oil, take the chance to share the same car with others.
