When Tim was a little boy, he liked to stay with his grandpa very much. The old man always played games with Tim and told him interesting stories.

Tim had lots of fun with Grandpa. But later, Grandpa got very ill. He knew he wouldn’t live long. Before he died (去世), Grandpa asked Tim to come and do the last thing for him.

Grandpa gave Tim a cherry seed (樱桃种子). He asked him to plant it in the garden and then water it when he felt happy about something in life, such as eating delicious food and listening to favourite songs. Tim loved his grandpa and he would do as he said.

Several years passed. One day after school, Tim was surprised (惊讶的) when his mother gave him a letter from his grandpa. He opened it after going back to his room. It said, did you share your happiness with your plant? I guess you did it for sure. You may also notice something interesting. When you’re a happy boy and water the tree well, many cute birds will come and live on it. You can enjoy wonderful songs every day and have sweet cherries to cat in the future. But when you are not happy and don’t visit it, I want you to know that happiness (快乐) will bring you many good things.

Do you have a special name? What is your best friend’s name? What do you think of it.? Who gives him or her that name?

Most of the time, our parents give us the name. Sometimes, parents can spend several months looking for the best name for their baby. Some ask their friends and family members for a good idea. Others keep the name a secret, because they are afraid that the name may become “too popular”. That is to say, they don’t want their child to be one of too many in their class.

In the past, people would choose a “good old name” just because many other people chose it. But today, it is not the same. People want their children to be called something different. The reason is that when the name becomes common (普通的), people might think the person will be common, too.

We can all think of names which let us think of a beautiful girl, a lovely boy, a soldier, or a hero. We think so because of our parents or our past experiences. If you have a bad experience with someone, you will think that other person with the same name is also bad. It is true that we usually think the same of people with the same name. It is also true for famous people and people from TV shows. You may think that a boy with the same name of a famous singer is also nice and handsome.

All in all, a name sometimes can decide (决定) how people think of us. Sometimes it may decide how we live our life. Our names are in some way very important in our life. But we should know that we shouldn’t judge (评判) others by names.

People who like traveling believe that traveling can help them expand their view. If they can make themselves travel with an open mind and try new things around them, they can see the world from a new view. Traveling helps us learn about different people and different places. People travel for different reasons. But one of the reasons is that a lot of tourists are interested in traditional culture (传统文化).

Tourism (旅游业) can be very good for traditional cultures. This is because when people travel to another country, they often want to learn more about that country’s traditions such as music, food and history. So the local (当地的) people in that country will wear traditional clothing and sell traditional food. They will also have shows for tourists. These shows can be dances, concerts, plays or something else.

Tourism also helps people respect each other. If you understand another culture well, you will probably respect that culture much more. You will probably want to protect (保护) that culture as well.

However, tourism isn’t always good for traditional culture. A lot of people say that tourism makes “not real traditional culture” happen. This means that the local people wear traditional clothing and do traditional dances only for tourists so that they can make money. But that isn’t their real lifestyle. Their real lifestyles are like the tourists’ lifestyles.

Another problem is that tourists may make trouble for the local people. For example, sometimes tourists come to watch local people praying (祷告) in temples (庙宇), tourists take photos and make noises. This often makes the local people angry.

Sometimes tourists may also do something bad to local places of interest. If five hundred people went into an old temple every day, they might do harm to that temple.

Anyway, more and more tourists want to learn about traditional cultures. Most local people want more tourism because tourists bring money and help local business. Tourists have to respect local culture and local places. Local governments try to protect places and lifestyles. If everyone tries his best, then tourism will be great for traditional cultures.

Mobile Homes

What is a mobile home? A mobile home is a new kind of house that can move easily, such as a room that trucks can pull. Often, driving along, you can see some mobile homes high on the hill.

Some stand under trees along a river or a lake. They’re wonderful homes. Sometimes they’re about 40 feet long, with two to five rooms, and you can find many things you need in them. When you park your mobile home and connect water, electricity power and telephones, you can enjoy yourselves in it.

These homes can be moved. However, sometimes their owners stay for years in one place, plant gardens, build walls and so on. Mobile homes are quite expensive. They usually cost 20,000 dollars. Why does a family choose to live in such a home? Well, it’s comfortable, easy to keep warm and there is no need to paint. What’s more, the fast increase (增长) of mobile homes in numbers has something to do with the job uncertainty (不确定性). Nobody knows what will happen tomorrow. If a factory closes down, you will be very worried about the house you can’t sell. However, if you have a mobile home, you can move easily.

The greatest selling attraction (吸引) of these mobile homes is that they can be improved every year. If you are doing well, you may change a new mobile room just as you do with a car. There is a ready market for used ones, so the price of mobile homes is higher than that of cars.

Of course, there are some disadvantages (缺点) of mobile homes. The biggest one is that they will be cheaper and cheaper. If you have used your mobile home for many years, it will be very difficult to sell. Do you want to buy one mobile home?
