Blue Lightning
Sally loved cars more than anything else． This spring she thought of building a go﹣kart to enter for the Go﹣Go Race． So she asked her dad for help．
"Well，" he said． "How about this： you do some research first and then come back to me with a design．"
A week later， Sally brought her notes and drawings to Dad． She named her go﹣kart "Blue Lightning"． Dad looked over her work， thinking． "Well， that's interesting，" he said． "Have a try． Just build Blue Lightning as you've designed．"
Over three weekends of hard work， Sally turned her design into a real， working go﹣kart and painted it light blue． Dad asked her to take it for a test drive． Sally agreed．
After she did that， Sally drove back to Dad． "Well，" she said． "Now I know why you wanted me to have a test drive．"
"Oh， do you？" he said． "Please share．"
"When I drove fast， there was a lot of pushback，" she said． "I think it's because of the lightning bolt （闪电） shape．"
"Very good!" Dad said．
"So， why didn't you tell me about that problem in the first place？" Sally asked．
Dad laughed． "Where's the fun in that？ If you give a man a fish， he'll eat for a day． But if you teach a man to fish， he'll eat for a lifetime．"
Sally said， "I see． Anyway， designing is half the fun !"
Dad smiled． "Good． Sometimes， learning happens during the process． We learn how to do something right by doing it a few times first and making mistakes along the way．"
That encouraged Sally and she worked even harder． When she showed Dad her new go﹣kart， he nodded with pride．
Finally came the race． Sally wasn't worried about whether she would win﹣in her mind， she had already won， by building something better than ever before．

"Oh，boys，don't throw stones at the poor bird，" said an old grey﹣headed man.
"Sir，" said a little one，"she makes such a loud noise that we can't bear her."
"I am afraid the stone will rebound （反弹） and hurt you as long as you live!"

"Well，I will tell you a true story.
"Fifty years ago，I liked throwing stones because I had no other boy to play with and I became very skillful.One day I went to work for an old couple who were very friendly to everybody，even to the birds.And the birds seemed to love the old couple，too.For seven years a bird had come and built her nest （鸟巢） in the same place.She and her mate had just returned on the day I went to work and the old couple welcomed them happily.During the day，I thought I would try my skill upon her.Suddenly the bird flew to a tree near me.I found a nice stone，and I threw it with my best skill.It hit the bird on the head and she dropped dead！
"I was sorry the moment I saw her fall off the tree.But it was too late.All day long her mate flew about，and chirped （发啁啾声） so sadly that he made my heart ache..I said nothing to the old couple but one of their grandchildren told them about it.Though the old couple never said a word to me，I knew that they were very sad.I could never look them in the eye and tell them how sorry I was.They have been dead for many，many years，and so has the poor bird.But don't you see how that stone rebounded，and hit me？For fifty years I have still remembered it though I have never spoken of it before.But if what I have told you will stop you，I will be happy."

Both of my two sons were born in Toronto， but they moved with us to Ottawa when they were quite young．They went to school there， gew up there．Later， one of my sons went to Canada's east coast near a city called Hallfax and the other moved to the west coast to Vancouver．My wife and I were left in the middle．
As we nealy retired（退休） ， we stared to think where we shoud spend our final years．For several reasons we decided to live on a small town on Vancouver Island， where was close to one of my sons．However， the son moved to Hollywood soon after he had got another job there．I helped him move．
We still lived a happy life in our little west coast town， but we have paid a price．We have not been there for some important events such as the births of our grandchildren．We have missed watching them grow up； we have missed backyard barbecues（烧烤） and basketball weekends with them． Our home ， while very comfortable ， was also very quiet ．
Every fall we travel to see the children．We usually fly， first to California to see our son Scott and spend a week or more with him trying to catch up on everything we've missed．Then， usually in November， we make the even longer trip east across Canada to see Travis and our grandchidren，who were about their twenties．
Fortunately， both our sons are doing well and grandchidren are growing up straight and tall．We love all of them and they love us．We're very happy but there are times I think about the things we didn't see； the tears or the smile on the granddaughter's face， their school graduations， my son's joy at successes in business．
Life has been good for our family but we have all paid a price．

A Beautiful Moment
When I was in high school．I worked part﹣time helping Dad sell fruits and vegetables at a market． One day，as I was preparing the fruits，a little boy came by with his mom and sister． He was about eight years old，and the girl，five or six． They were looking the fruits in front of me． I heard the kids say to their mom in French，"They're good!" I knew it was French，because I can speak and understand it．
Then I noticed how the mom was picking the fruits．At first I thought she was really looking at the fruits because she was facing them． But then I noticed how much she had to feel and smell each one as she picked them out． And she often asked her son if it looked okay， but looked way above where his face was． Putting what I saw together，I was sure she was blind．
Both of the kids continued to help their mom pick out the fruits．The son made sure the fruits were not obviously bad， and the daughter handed them to her mom． The woman then felt each one and smiled， and the daughter would put them into their basket．The kids were smiling while helping their mom pick the fruits out．
Their smile and gentle manner moved me in a way that never happened before．It was so beautiful to see such young kids so willingly help． Most kids that age would be picking out candies or toys in a store for themselves， instead of helping their mom pick out fruits as the two kids did．

Dmitry Doronin，a doctoral student from Russia，is keen （热衷的）to share his experience in rural villages in Zhejiang with his 1.4 million followers online.
Since Dmitry started to live in the countryside last August，the 32 ﹣year﹣old has created hundreds of video clips that record the relaxing lifestyle in Hengzhang village，Lishui city."The rice is grown in the fields together with fish，which helps to increase local agricultural （农业的）products，" said Dmitry，while introducing products from Hengzhang village on the popular Chinese short﹣videos platform Douyin，Besides filming videos，Dmitry also enjoys working with farmers in the fields，doing activities such as planting vegetables and feeding chickens.
Living in a village provides him with uniqueexperiences，he says，quite different from busy life in big cities，such as Shanghai，where he studies.And he has been a pleasant surprise to the villagers as well.Villager Bao Mingyue，76，says，"To our surprise，the young Russian not only knows how to cook Chinese food but is interested in working in the fields."
Because of the outbreak of COVID﹣19，the sales of local agricultural products had dropped rapidly，so Dmitry volunteered to help sell the products in his videos.In a few months，10，000 kilograms of oranges，4，000 kilograms of dried sweet potatoes and 300 kilograms of honey had been sold.
"Thanks to his videos，it seems that more tourists have come to visit our village，"says 72﹣year﹣ old Pan Xianyu，who is very pleased to see the great changes in her hometown，Dmitry loves his country life，"In the countryside，you can immerse （沉浸）yourself in the traditional way of life and understand this country better，" he says.
