It’s Really a Miracle (奇跡)

Mr. Brown works in New York and he brought his family to China last summer. They visited many places of interest and had a good time here. Before they left for New York, the Browns climbed the Great Wall. It was the greatest project over two thousand years ago. They took a lot of photos there and then they had a picnic under a big tree. Suddenly it began to rain and they hurried to the car. And when they returned to the hotel, they couldn’t find the bag in which their expensive camera was. They were all sorry for it. They could buy another camera but had no time to go to the Great Wall again. They could not miss the plane!

That evening they didn’t have supper. Mr. Brown hoped to make them happy, so he said, “Well, let me tell you a story. An old man lived in a sixty-floor building. One day he fell down from it when he was cleaning the window. But he didn’t hurt himself.”

“It was a miracle!” called out his children, “Why?”

“Because he lived on the first floor!”

They all began to laugh while two policemen with a bag came in. They said a Chinese boy found it under a big tree and he asked them to find out who lost it.

“It’s really a miracle!” the Browns said happily.

“USA? Britain? Which country is better to study in?”

We often hear such discussions. As important, Without, thousands, hot, nearer, why, much, away, Nothing, year

China opens its door, studying abroad has become a dream for many Chinese students. They would like to know the world well. It’s true that studying abroad can help students develop themselves. Their foreign language skills will be improved and it may be easier to find jobs.

But there are problems that should be considered. Language is the first. Students must spend a lot of time learning another language and getting used to a different culture. Students must also learn to live without parents’ care and deal with all kinds of things they haven’t had to do before, like looking after themselves. There are reports about Chinese students abroad running into an ocean of difficulties and giving up finally. When they have to take care of themselves, it is hard for students to study well. Finally, studying abroad brings a heavy burden（負(fù)擔(dān)）to the family. For most Chinese parents, the cost of studying abroad is very high. But is it worth it? We know that there are many famous people who have achieved success through their hard work in China. Liu Xiang is a good example. Once an American teacher invited him there, but he refused. He kept training hard with his Chinese teacher. He surprised the world when he won a gold medal at the Athens Olympic Games. So when you wonder which country is better to study in, think again.

At present only a few students do some reading after class. Here are several reasons.

Yesterday,I overheard our 9-year-old son,Aaron,talking to his friend,Zach.

“Oh，God！”Zach began，looking in Aaron’s closet “Where are all your toys？”

“Oh，we are doing something called Simplicity plan，so I basically got rid of 80% of my stuff（物品）. ”

“What？ Did your mom and dad make you do this？”

“No， Idecided to do it because I wanted to.When I give away a lot of my things，I make room for family activities. I did it because I wanted to live differently and have less stuff in my life.”

“But still,why would you choose to get rid of most of your toys？”

“Part of the reason is that my parents were doing it with their stuff .And my mom talked to me about it and explained how they felt happier afterwards. And I thought maybe I really had spent a lot of my time in my room playing with toys instead of spending time with my parents and sister.”

“Seriously？”

“I feel proud because I am a person who has just what I need and not more. And I’m starting

new activities like writing how I feel,reading more,and spending more time doing housework around the house.”

“OK.Let me get this. You have fewer toys，more housework,and you feel happier？”

“Well, it’s not that the housework is fun ,But I do it with my parents. We talk and connect while we are doing it, so that is the fun.And we’ve been doing more activities together, like reading aloud at night.
