An artist painted many pictures of great beauty. But he found that he had not yet painted a "real" picture.
He began his trip to lookthe most beautiful thing in the world. On the way, he met an aged priest(神父)whohim where he was going. "I don't know," said the artist "I want to paint the most beautiful thing in the world. Perhaps you can direct me to it." "How,"replied the priest. "In any church, you will find it — ‘Faith'(信任，信仰) is the most beautiful thing in the world."
The artist traveled on. Later, a(n)mother told him the most beautiful thing is "Love". "Love"the world go round. Without love there is no beauty.
Still the artist continued his search. He asked a soldier thequestion and his answer was "Peace". He said, "War is ugly andyou find peace, you will find beauty, faith and love."
How can I paint all ofFaith, Love and Peace? He thought and thought. He was surprised that without thinking where he was going, he had got to his familiar place. On theof his wife and children, he saw Love and Faith. "We are thinking of you all the time. We prayed (祈祷)you would return to us safely," said his wife. The artist sat on his favorite old chair and hiswas at peace.
The artist painted the most beautiful thing in the world and called it "Home".
We spoke to three students from around the world about different national holidays. There are different customs for each festival.
Tan Xiaodong,15, Hong Kong, China
"It'll soon be the Chinese New Year. Before it, we'll clean the house and decorate it for good luck. Every shop is going to close for a few days and we'll go out a lot to celebrate on the streets. We might go and see the lion and dragon dances in the city center. I love this festival."
Wendy, 16, Sydney, Australia
"Australia Day is on 26th January and it's an important holiday here. We always have a Monday off, so we celebrate for three days. My parents and I go to the countryside for a picnic and friends always come over. Many people go to beach parties or street parties and there's lots of music and dancing. What fun!"
Amy, 14, New York, the US
"The first Thanksgiving was celebrated hundreds of years ago when Europeans who came to America thanked God for his help. It's still a very important day for family members to be together. This year we're going to visit my grandparents and we'll eat a delicious meal of turkey. Thanksgiving is on the 4th Thursday in November every year."
As we know, there are differences between western culture and Chinese culture. We can see differences when we pay attention to the way words are used. Let's look at the words about animals and plants. Most expressions in Chinese about dogs, for example, a homeless dog, a mad dog and a dog catching a mouse, have negative meanings. But in western countries, dogs are thought to be honest and good friends of humans. In English, people use the dog to describe positive actions. For example, you are a lucky dog means you are a lucky person. And every dog has its day means each person has good luck sometimes. To describe a person's serious illness, they say sick as a dog. The word dog-tired means very tired. However, Chinese love cats very much. But in western culture, cat is often used to describe a woman who is cruel.
The rose is regarded as a symbol of love in both China and some western countries. People think the rose means love, peace, courage and friendship. And the rose is the national flower of England, America and many other countries.
The words about plants and animals are used in positive or negative ways in different cultures. We can learn about many differences in cultures by comparing how some words are used.
There was a boy and his family was very rich. One day his father took him on a trip to a place. He wanted to show his son how poor people were there. They spent several days on a farm. There were many poor families living on the farm.
On their way home, the father asked the son, "How was the trip?" "It was great, Dad," the son answered. "Did you notice how poor people were there?" asked his father. "Oh, yes," said the son. "So, tell me," said his father. The son said, "Well, we have one dog and they have four. We have a pool in our garden, while they have a river that has no end. We have expensive lanterns, but they have stars above their heads at night. We have only a small piece of land to live on, while they have the endless fields. We buy our food, but they grow theirs. We have high walls around our houses to protect us, but they don't need walls, because their friends will protect them.
The father had nothing to say. Then the boy added, "Thank you, Dad, for letting me see how poor we are."
Great white sharks in the Pacific Ocean. Wildebeest (角马)in Africa. Arctic terns(北极燕鸥) in the Atlantic. At first, these animals seem quite different. One swims, one walks, and the other flies. But they all have one thing in common, They all migrate(迁徙).
Some migrating animals move to a place with a better temperature. Some go to find food or water. The groups travel as one, but during the trip, they face many different challenges.
One challenge is distance. Some migrating animals take very long trips. For example, one great white shark swam from Australia to South Africa and back. In nine months, it swam about 20, 000 kilometers!
Another challenge is finding enough food and water during the journey. For example, each Mali elephant needs over 200 liters of water each day. To get this, they need to go from one waterhole to another.
Besides, migrating animals have to keep away from other animals that want to eat them. The zebra (斑马) has to avoid lions. Traveling as a group helps keep them safe. When one zebra is in trouble, the other members make a circle around it.
By working as a group, migrating animals travel to live better lives.

The Silk Road is known all over the world.It went along the north of China, India, and Persia and ended up in Eastern Europe near today's Turkey and the Mediterranean Sea.
It was called the Silk Road because one of the major products traded was silk cloth from China. Chinese silk was soft and of high quality. So people throughout Asia and Europe loved it very much.Even the Romans called China the "land of silk".
Besides silk, the Chinese also sold tea, salt, sugar, porcelain(瓷器)and spices(香料). Most of the goods were expensive. This was because it was a long trip and trades didn't have a lot of room for goods. They bought goods like cotton, ivory, wool, gold and silver.
Traders traveled in large caravans (商队). They would have many guards with them.Most of the road was through dry land, so camels were popular animals for transport.
Although there was some trade between China and the rest of the world for some time, the silk trade developed quickly during the Han Dynasty which ruled from 206 B. C. to 220 A.D.During this time, Chinese traders traveled safely. Also, traders had a higher social position.
It not only helped develop trade between different countries, but also helped make ideas, cultures and inventions spread across the world.

The aim of students who come to school is to study. But t0 study requires a right way, or you waste either the time or the money. The following are the ways of studying.
The best time for reading is morning, because in the morning, the air is fresh and the mind is clear. For that reason, we can get good result.
In studying we must have patience. If we have not known a text well, we must read it again. We should not read the next one until we have learned the first one.
When we are studying, we must put our hearts into the book, or we can get nothing from the book while we are reading.
We must always ask "whys". If it is not well understood, write it down and ask our teachers or our parents, or friends. In any possible way, we must know it completely and what we've learned can be used well and made better.
Though there are many ways for studying, yet the above mentioned will be quite enough if we can keep them in heart and do so.
