It was a lovely spring day. We could see dandelions (蒲公英) coming out the grass in bunches (束). I watched my mother bend down by one of the bunches. “I think I’ll remove all these weeds (野草),” she said. “From now on, we’ll have roses in this garden.”
“But I like dandelions,” I said. “All flowers are — even dandelions!”
My mother looked at me seriously. “Yes, every flower gives pleasure in its own way, doesn’t it?” she asked thoughtfully. I nodded(点头). “And the same as ,” she said.
When I that she had guessed my pain, I started to cry and told her the truth. “But you will be a wonderful narrator,” she said, me of how much I loved to read stories aloud.

Is the art of conversation dying? The other day, my wife two teenage children did something we haven't for ages. It didn't require the Internet, a TV screen, batteries or anything else for that matter. But we all it so much we're thinking of doing it again sometime.
We had a conversation. The kind of real, live conversation that was when I was growing up, but which seems all too rare these days. Today we have chat rooms, text messages, e-mails but we seem to be losing the of communicating face-to-face. We all know young people are out on a date(约会)these days, they spend most of that time their mobile phones. And teenagers nowadays seem to communicating with their friends by sending text messages rather than actually to them.
If we carry on like this, in the future, we'll lose the use of our . What do you think? E-mail me, and who knows? Maybe we could even have a real conversation about it!

Have you ever planted a few trees on Tree Planting Day? Each year, millions of people, both , plant a lot of trees. But this may not be the best way to make your home a place.
Last week we visited a park in Hebei. We were to find most of the trees had been burned. The workers told us that the trees soon after they were planted because they weren’t watered well enough. workers burned them and cleaned the place for trees to be planted this year. a card found in one of the dead trees, a student wrote,“I hope this tree will grow up with me to the backbone (栋梁) of our country.” The workers said that the survival(存活) of the trees was really more important than trees were planted.
Some people in Beijing now have a new idea that they can donate (捐赠) some money and let professional (专业人士) plant and the trees.
