As the saying goes, “Give a man a fish, and you feed him for a day. Teach a man to fish,and you feed him for a lifetime.”This is the way the charity organization Heifer International (国际小母牛慈善组织)wants to end world hunger.
It began in the 1930s when an American farmer, Dan West, went to Spain to help people in need. He tried to feed the people with milk. But it seemed that there would never be enough milk. It made him think that what they needed was“not a cup, but a cow”.
Dan West returned to America. He worked together with some friends to find ways to end hunger. He believed giving animals and providing training would stop world hunger. With his help, Heifer International was set up.
On Heifer International’s website, you will see a list of animals like cows, chickens, pigs and even fish and bees. You can offer help by buying some animals for one certain family. Those animals will have babies. With more and more animals, these families will be able to support themselves. Once these families get better lives, they will pass on the act of kindness to others. More importantly, you are buying the resources(资源) for programs run by Heifer International to help more families.
The programs also help small-sized farms. As a rule, each farmer must give his animal’s first female(雄性) baby to another in need. Heifer International also provides training on animals health and feeding. And these farmers all agree to teach others what they have learned as another rule.
However, there is still a long way to go. The milk may run out. But if families have their own cows, they can get plenty of milk to feed themselves. The organization wants the farmers to go on
working together, helping each other and learning from each other. Maybe hunger can really be stopped.

A well-known saying goes like this, “mind at peace give you coolness”. As the temperature rises day by day, it’s time to create some coolness besides keeping calm.
Chinese people have some traditional ways to reduce the summer heat without air-conditioners (空调). Such ways include healthy food and tools that also help people experience the beauty of summer. Here are some choices which will bring you a surprisingly cool experience.
The first one is plum juice(酸梅汤). It is a traditional healthy drink in summer in Beijing. It can reduce summer heat in the human body. People can have the juice all year round, yet summer is the best time.
The second is a bamboo mat. It is a lovely must-have that can cool your summer with a naturally nice smell. There are many sizes for beds and chairs and so on. It’s really comfortable to lie on a bamboo mat and drink some plum juice while watching TV in summer.
The last one is Chinese fans. Available in many shapes and materials, Chinese fans are special for the water-ink paintings they carry. Fans made of silk were often used by women, especially young unmarried ladies in ancient China. They used fans to hide their mouths or aces when they wanted to avoid showing shyness. If you want to lead a low-carbon(低碳) style of living, a fan is necessary in summer.

Shopping for clothes is not the same experience for a man as it is for a woman. A man goes shopping because he needs something. All men simply walk into a shop and ask for what they want If the shop has it, the salesman quickly finds it, and the business of trying it on continues at once. All being well, the deal can be and often is completed in less than five minutes.
For a man, small problems may begin when the shop does not have what he wants. Then, the salesman tries to sell the customer something else. "I know this jacket is not the style(款式)you want, sir, but would you like to try it for size? It happens to be the color you mentioned." Few men have patience with this treatment, and the usual reply is, "This is the right color and maybe the right size, but I should be wasting my time and yours by trying it on."
However, a woman does so in the opposite way. Her shopping is not often based on(以... 为基础) need, and she is only "having a look around". She is always open to persuasion, really she believes in what the saleswoman tells her. She will try on any number of things. Most women have an excellent sense of value when they buy clothes. They are always on the lookout for the unexpected sale. Faced with a roomful of dresses, a woman may easily spend an hour going from one room to another, often going back over again, before choosing the dresses she wants to try on. It is always tiring, but obviously(明显的) enjoyable. Most dress shops provide chairs for the waiting husbands.

As an old Chinese saying goes, Spring Festival comes right after the Laba Festival, so get ready for a bowl of porridge while looking forward to the long-awaited family get-together.
Today, people across China are celebrating the Laba Festival. It is a traditional Chinese festival. It’s on the eighth day of the 12th lunar month. What does this festival mean to Chinese people?
