He had to return home.

The following day the man went to the same shop. But to his 6, he couldn't find the shoes he liked in the shop. The shopkeeper told him the shoes he had chosen the other day were 7. Looking at the old man's sadness, the shopkeeper asked him why he didn't get his favorite 8 the other day if he had liked them so much. He told the shopkeeper what had happened and said he couldn't 9 measurement without the stick.

Knowledge often come in handy but we should not get into the trap of overthinking. Sometimes, the 10 can be solved with simple reasoning skills and common sense.

A young student once asked his Master, "Master, you always tell us  (be) kind and compassionate (怀有悲悯之心的). But what is compassion?" Hearing this, he  (lead) the student to the window and directed his attention to the beggar sitting on the corner of the street. They noticed that an old lady had walked by and given him a coin. Then a businessman  fine clothes passed by and gave him five coins. After a while, a mother and a child passed the street. The young child walked towards the beggar and handed him a flower he  (carry).

"Who do you believe was  (kind) person with compassion for the beggar?" "The businessman." The Master smiled and said, "You see, an elderly lady passing by  (trouble) by the beggar's poverty, she had to give him a gold coin. The businessman saw a small gathering of people talking about him, so he handed the beggar five coins and left  (quick). When a child carrying some  (flower) walked by the beggar, the child smiled and handed him a flower. He had  pride nor pity or want to boost his social image. He acted with love and he was  one who responded compassionately. A compassionate person knows that all beings are the same."

"Poor little Snowhopper!" said Heidi. She drew the little goat softly to her. "Don't be sad anymore. See, I am coming up with you every day now. If there is anything the matter, you can come to me."

Snowhopper put her head on Heidi's shoulder and stopped bleating.

Suddenly, Peter jumped up and ran after the goats. Heidi knew there was something wrong, so she followed him. She saw him running to a dangerous cliff. Peter had seen Thistlefinch go nearer and nearer to the dangerous place. Peter arrived just in time to stop the goat from falling down the cliff. However, Peter fell down and was only able to catch the goat by one leg. Thistlefinch bleated angrily. Peter wasn't able to get up, so he called for help loudly. Heidi quickly picked some grass and held it under the animal's nose. She said, "Come, come, Thistlefinch. You might fall down there and break your leg. That would hurt you."

The goat followed her and ate the grass. When Peter stood up and the goat was safe, he began to beat it. The goat moved back. Heidi cried loudly, "Peter, do not beat him!"

"Well. he deserves it," said Peter angrily, ready to beat him again. But Heidi stopped him and shouted, "You mustn't hurt him! Let him go!"

When he saw Heidi's eyes, he stopped. "I'll let him go, if you give me a piece of your cheese again tomorrow," he said.

"You can have it all tomorrow and every day. I don't need it," Heidi said to him. "I will also give you a big piece of bread, if you don't beat any of the goats again."

"I don't care," said Peter, and in that way he gave his promise not to beat the goats.

Shawn Moore, a musician from the United States, has given a lot of his time and effort to his various jobs in Beijing for years. He is an admissions officer for his Alma Mater Bard College, the music director for the Yale Club in Beijing, and a solo (独奏) artist whose first solo album is going to come out.

"What kept me here (in Beijing) for eight years is the unusual people you can meet here," said Moore. He has worked together with many famous artists including Chinese composer and conductor Tan Dun and Chinese dancer Yang Liping. "It's a very international city in that way," he said.

Moore has worked closely with David Qu, a pianist and composer, for many years. They co-work on music, combining classical pieces like Mozart and Beethoven and modern jazz pieces on stage. "I think it's something really special," he said, something that the audience will hear for the first and maybe only time.

The American musician said he loves Chinese folk music, which is a great source of inspiration for him, and is preparing another album connecting Chinese musical elements with Western ones.

Having received his master's degree from Yale, Moore arranged a concert for the Yale Club in Beijing in September, which he considers one of the most memorable concerts he has ever done in China.

Growing food in small spaces can be fun, you just need a little sunshine and some imagination.

When planning a vegetable garden, being able to quickly try out different planting styles can save a huge amount of time and help you grow healthier plants which produce more food even in a small balcony (阳台).

Plant Supports.

You can make better use of every square inch to grow upright crops. Pole beans can produce twice as many beans as bush ones.  Tomatoes need some type of support to keep them above the wet ground. The most successful support allows more leaves to reach the sun and it must be strong enough to hold its plants.  

How Plants Climb

 For example, tomatoes like to throw themselves over their support. They always let their branches develop roots (根) in places that touch the ground. Peas and cucumber-family crops will twist around their support. When they hold together, they grow strongly upward.

Recycled Containers

Use your imagination to select containers for plants—just make holes in the bottom for drying liquid. Make your own pots with them because they are great for deep-rooting plants like beans.

Emotions such as fear and anxiety can make the heart beat faster. Now a study in mice has found that the opposite is also true—increasing the heart rate (心率) can raise anxiety levels.

To test the fact directly, Deisseroth with his team turned to a method that uses light to control cell(细胞) activity. The team trained the animals to react quickly to light and expect a shock if they pressed a handle for a water reward. Using the system, the team raised the animals' heart rates from their normal 660 beats per minute to 900. When their hearts started racing, mice became less willing to press the handle or to explore open areas, showing that they were more anxious. But for animals in other situations, the increased heart rate had no effect, suggesting that the brain and the heart worked together to produce anxiety.

When the researchers measured the animals' brain activity, they found that brain became more active when the heart rate increased if the animal was acting anxiously. It means that brain is in charge of joining signals from the heart with danger from the environment before they pass on the information to higher thinking areas.

It was a sunny day, Jack bought a new car and was happily trying it. The car was good and there wasn't much traffic on the roads. Suddenly, a1shop caught his attention. He stopped his car and took a closer look at the flowers there. When he saw the 2"Mother's Day" card, he realized it was Mother's Day.

Jack thought about his loving mother who lived two hundred miles away. So he chose a nice bouquet (花束)of pink roses, signed the card and asked the shopkeeper to 3it express to his mother. Just before he got into his car, he noticed a girl standing outside the shop. She was 4the money in her hand. She seemed a little upset. Jack asked, "Can I help you?" She replied in a(an) 5voice," I want to buy some roses for my mother, but I don't have enough money. "

Jack asked her to go to the shop with him and bought a big bouquet of red roses for her. She thanked him. While leaving the shop, Jack offered her a ride. She was 6and her eyes were shining with happiness.

On the way, she told him that her mother was dead. So when they arrived, she ran to her  mother's grave（墓地）and 7the flowers there.

Jack was silent for a minute. Then he made a U-turn immediately and drove back to the same flower shop to take the flowers. He decided to8 his mother.

Three hours later, he rang the door bell of the familiar house, the door opened, there stood an old lady, Jack's mother. He9his mother the bouquet and said, "I love you, Ma." She kissed him and asked, "Why did you drive down all the way? You could have10sent the bouquet to me." He understood this was a Mother's Love: mothers think only about their children's comforts.

What do you usually do in your spare time? Chatting online is now a national pastime(消遣) in China, especially among the post-90s and post-00s generation. To some people, however, online chats can seem like a kind of polite conversation. Yet hidden rules do exist(存在), as long as you take the time to look for them.

When sending a friend request, include your real name and any other identifying(身份辨别) information. Remember, everybody's time is valuable. If there's something you want, cut right to the chase. Never send an "Are you there?" without any follow-up messages. The quicker that you get to the point, the more likely the other person is to reply.

Please send texts, not voice messages. It might be easier for you to speak than type, but what about the person on the other end? They may be unable to listen to a 59-second message right now. Also, never send information by voice message—it is hard to note down. Emojis(表情符号) and GIFs can save the day when you find yourself in an embarrassing conversation, or words fail you.

You can always judge a person's mood by their text messages. If the person you're talking to says "Good night" or "I'm going to take a shower", that's probably not what they're actually going to do. It is just an excuse to stop talking to you. If someone waits for longer than three seconds before saying "Yes", they probably really mean "No". If you receive these emojis from friends who are older, read them literally (照字面地) (such as a smile or a wave). For the post-90s and post-00s generation, however, they could be speechlessness(无语).
