In an ancient country there were two great carpenters（木匠）, Andy and John.

One day, their king wanted to know who was better so he had a match for them two. During the three days, the one who carved（雕刻）the more lovely mouse would be the National First Carpenter.

The two carpenters worked hard day and night. Three days later, they showed the king their carved mice. The king asked all his soldiers to decide the result.

Andy’s mouse was so wonderful that it was just like a real one while John’s was ugly without its shape and look. So the king and his soldiers all agreed Andy was the winner.

But John disagreed. He shouted, “That’s unfair. It should be decided by cats.”

The King thought it was right. Then he asked his soldiers to take several cats there to decide which mouse looked more like a real one. Everyone became surprised because the cats all jumped on John’s mouse while Andy’s mouse was left alone.

Before the fact, the king had to say John was the final winner. Later, the king asked John, “How did you make the cats believe what you carved was a mouse?” John said, “In fact, it’s simple. I carved a mouse only with the fishbone（鱼骨）! What the cats care about is not its shape, but its taste!”

Li Fang, when she was a teenager, dreamed of going to the United States. 1. “I had a picture of the daddy sitting in the living room, the mommy doing some cooking and their kids playing games on the floor.”

Li Fang decided to go to college in California. When she arrived, however, it was not the dream world she had imagined. “People were too busy and sometimes seemed unhappy,” She said, “2.”

One of her most difficult classes was P.E. When the class played volleyball, the other students were good at it, but she wasn’t. One afternoon, the P.E. teacher had Li Fang hit the ball to her teammates so that they could knock it over the net. It was not a big deal for most people, but it made Li Fang scared, 3.

A young man on her team seemed to understand what she was going through. He walked up to her and said, “4.”

Li Fang said, “You will never understand how those words made me feel. Four words: You can do that. I felt like crying with happiness.”

Six years has passed. Li Fang is back in China, working as a salesclerk. “I have never forgotten the words. 5.” She said. “From this experience, I have learned a lesson: Whenever you say something to a person, cruel or kind, you have no idea how long the words will stay with them.” Now she still hears those four simple words: You can do that.

Many Chinese people like hot pot and Li Yang is one of them.

Three days ago, Li Yang arrived in England. There he had three days of hamburgers, sandwiches, and potatoes. Yesterday he was very excited when he heard that there was going to be a meal of hot pot to welcome the new students.

He went into the room and sat next to an American girl. To his surprise, he saw potatoes and bread in front of him. Where was the hot pot?

When she saw Li Yang was very surprised, the American girl told him that hotpot is NOT hot pot. China has hot pot in two words but English hotpot is written in one word.

Hotpot is made from meat, potatoes and onions. People put it in the oven(烤箱) all day in a heavy pot and on a low heat. It is easy to cook.

Hotpot tastes nice, but Li Yang still misses hot pot, two words!
