After wandering （闲逛）around in the city for a long time， Tom finally found himself standing in front of the palace． He looked through its golden gate， hoping to take a look at a real prince（王子）．
There were some guards（卫兵） standing at both sides of the gate． Tom， dressed badly， was moving nervously past them when he suddenly caught sight of a well﹣dressed boy who was followed by several servants． He was no doubt the prince！
Tom was excited． He wanted to get close to the prince and have a good look at him． However， a guard saw him and stopped him rudely（粗鲁地）．
The young prince， whose name was Edward， was angry with the guard for his rudeness． He asked the guard to open the gate and took Tom to his room in the palace．
The two boys became good friends． They even exchanged their clothes after Tom told Edward that he had dreamt about dressing like a prince， As they stood side by side in front of a great mirror， they were surprised to find that they looked almost like twins!
The two boys were in each other's clothes when Edward suddenly noticed a bruise（淤伤） on Tom's hand． He soon realized that it was caused by the guard who had stopped Tom rudely． In a moment， the young prince ran out of the room． He decided to punish the guard．

When I first arrived on this island， I had nothing． But I've found the ship and made a small boat． I've brought back many things I can use﹣food and drink， tools， knives and guns． Although I have lost everything， I have not lost my life． So I will not give up and I will wait for another ship． I have already cut down trees and built a house． I go out with my gun almost every day to kill animals and birds for food． I'm even learning to grow fruit and vegetables．
A few weeks ago， I found the marks of another man's feet on the sand． Who else is on my island？ Not long after that， I saw some cannibals trying to kill two men from a broken ship． One of them died but the other ran towards my house． I helped him kill the cannibals． This man now lives with me and helps me． I named him Friday because that day was the day I met him． He is smart and I have already taught him some English．

Don't Worry! Be Happy!
If I were a bird．I'd fly up high，
Above the clouds，up in the sky．
I'd float and sing and soar and play，
Without any worries to ruin my day．
If I were a dolphin，I'd splash in the sea，
And dive and flip﹣great fun for me!
I'd play with friends under the sea so blue．
There'd be no chores or homework to do．
If I were a bear，I'd sleep all day，
And then wake up at night to play．
I'd fish and run and jump and climb，
With no one around to ruin my good time．
If I were a dog，daring the day I'd rest．
So when Master came home，I'd be at my best﹣
Ready to run or play balls or catch，
Ready to jump，roll over or fetch．
But I'm not a dog or a bird or a bear，
I'm not dolphin who can swim everywhere．
I'm just a kid who wants to have fun，
But I know I can't till my work's all

Tape﹣Measure Murder is a short story by Agatha Christie．In the story，Miss Politt，the dressmaker，finds that Mrs．Spenlow is dead in her house in a small village called St Mary Mead．Everybody，including the police，thinks that Mr．Spenlow is the murderer （凶手） because he is so calm and quiet after discovering his wife's death．But after the police talk to Miss Marple，she finds out the real murderer．
The best part of the story is when Miss Marple explains how she solves the mystery （疑案） by noticing a tiny pin （别针） on a policeman's uniform．Her explanation is very clear and clever．Miss Marple is my favorite character in the story．I think she is very special because she is just an old lady but she is even smarter than the policemen．I never thought that an old lady could be the main character of a detective story!

Traditional Chinese culture is catching the world's eyes． The good traditional Chinese culture is our great treasure． President Xi Jinping says we should have a high of culture confidence． There are so many great works in the course of Chinese history such as Di Zi Gui，Lun Yu，Meng Zi and so on． Xi Jinping and other leaders often borrow some wonderful sentences from them． Dao De Jing is also one of them．

Dao means "the Way"． It doesn't tell us how to choose the right way， but it really shows that one should act through naturalness and non﹣action．
Naturalness refers to a natural state of being， an attitude of following the way of nature．Lao Zi thought that everything in the world has its own way of being and developing．Birds fly in the sky；Tigers live in the forest； Fish swim in the water； Flowers bloom and flowers fall． He gave advice to the people who have strong feelings to control the world． He said they should give up the desires （欲望）．
Non﹣action （无为） does not mean that one should do nothing but passively wait for something to be achieved． What he meant is that human should follow the way of nature and try not to break the rule of nature．
De means"Virtue（德行）"． Lao zi thought the great virtue is like water．And he thinks nothing in the world is weaker than water， yet nothing is stronger than water when it comes． It can nearly destroy everything strong． In ancient China， there is also a saying， water can hold the boat， it can also make the boat tum upside down． Water is a typical （典型的） example of the weak beating the strong．
Of course， there are many other wonderful things we can learn from the book． Today， Dao de Jing still plays a role in the development of Chinese thoughts． It is becoming more and more popular with people around the world．

We should choose the right way to success． |
| C． |
We should do nothing but passively wait for something to be achieved． |
