Mom was cooking in the kitchen. She could hear the girls arguing in the living room. It was the third time this week that the sisters had been arguing over nothing. A few minutes later, Maria rushed into her bedroom angrily and closed the door heavily.
"Come to the kitchen, young lady," Mom firmly (坚定地) said to Maria in her best mother tone (语气) of voice.
Maria walked into the kitchen and shouted,"I can't stand living with Felicia another minute.I don't ever want to talk to her again!"

While Felicia was on her way, Mom put two chairs opposite each other but very close together.
"Maria, you sit here and Felicia you sit there." The girls sat face to face, with their knees almost touching."Now you look each other in the eye for five minutes," Mom ordered.

Why are dogs our best friends.Maybe because they can understand our words much better than we thought,according to a study in Hungary.It found that dogs understand not only what we say,but also how we say it.
"The results were very exciting and very surprising."Said the researcher Attila Andies,from Eotvos Lorand University in Budapest.
For the study,the researchers first trained 13 dogs for months.The dogs had to sit quietly inside machine,so that the researchers could check their activity.
Then the researcher put headphones on dogs and played people's voice to them.There were four different voice.Some were positive words,such as"well down",or neutral(不带感情色彩的) words like"however".The words were also in different tones(音调).Some were positive and some were neutral.
Brain scans(扫描)showed that the dogs could recognize(辨认)words.as well as the tone of words,much like people do.The positive words with a positive tone brought the stronger activity in their brain's reward centers(反应中枢).
"It shows that for dogs,a nice phrase can word very well as a prize,but it words best if both words and tones match."Said Andies.
They also found that dogs deal with meaningful words with the left side of the brain and tones with the right.Human brains work in the same way.
It gave us a new understanding of language,said Andies.That is,not only do humans understand the meaning in words,other species(物种) do too.

In September,2020,I had the chance to come to China for the first time and visited Yunnan Province.

Marianne Carus,who started Cricket(蟋蟀)magazine in 1973 and served as Editor﹣in﹣Chief(总主编)until 2012,died on March 3 at the age of 92 this year.
Marianne believed that "only the best of the best is good enough for the young. "In Cricket,children would find wonderful stories with beautiful art,and be encouraged by ideas in the humanities and sciences.Marianne looked for stories from around the world to awaken admiration for different peoples and cultures.Most important,Cricket would never talk down to children.
Marianne knew that children were filled with fun,and she wanted Cricket to be,too - "humor from the heart that makes you laugh out loud. "And so she named her literary magazines after a funny group of bugs(虫子),such as Lady bung and Spider.
Over the years,Cricket has been read by millions of children and given many writers and artists their start.Marianne kept a special box of "love letters" to the magazine.She treasured these letters from Cricket readers,including long﹣ago readers.They told her that their interest in reading had begun with Cricket.
▲She considered other names,such as Troubadour or Taliesin,the singers and storytellers of old who traveled from one place to another to share their songs and stories.Then,one night,she was reading Isaac Bashevi Singer's memoir(回忆录)A Day of Pleasure,about his childhood in Warsaw.In it he wrote:There was a stove in Shosha's apartment behind which there lived a cricket.It chirped the nights through all winter long I imagined the cricket was telling a story that would never end. "That's exactly what Marianne wanted her children's magazine to do-to tell stories that would never end!So the name Cricket became her best choice.
Thank you for everything,Marianne.May the stories,and the laughter,never end!

Everybody enjoys acts of kindness.But can you explain why?Some people think kindness is something out of love and care,while others believe it is just a tool that we use to become more popular.But research shows that being kind can activate (激活)an area of the brain called Striatum.Research also shows that kindness improves people's mood (情绪).But why and how does it happen?Here are a number of different ways.
Being kind can make someone smile.If you see yourself smile in a situation,people around may be smiling,too.This is specially true for your close friends and family .A kind act makes someone who is sad feel better. Itcan also make ourselves fee good.So why not set off that chain(链条)of good feelings to people around?
Secondly,being kind starts or develops a social connection with others.Kind acts like buying someone a present make friendships stronger.Research has shown that spending money on others may help you get a stronger feeling of happiness than spending it on yourself.Similarly,charities(慈善)also open up new circles of people to connect with someone on the other side of the world.
In another recent research,even children in their first year of secondary school know how being kind makes them feel happy.If one person is kind,he or she makes others in the group kind.It also lifts everyone's spirits.Imagine that you make cakes for the office and it makes others do it each month.Then you're getting cakes a lot more days than providing them.
The story doesn't end here.Being kind may improve your mood,but research has also shown that if you're in a good mood,you can act much more kindly.This makes it a wonderful two﹣way relationship,doesn't it?

So it's no wonder that a group of French cooks want the baguette to become a form of intangible cultural heritage (非物质文化遗产) listed by UNESCO.French culture leaders have given a suggestion to the country's president.
UNESCO's intangible heritage list aims to protect culture from the influence of the world.Cooks in France believe that if the baguette is on the list,it will be better protected.The list already includes Belgian beer and Neapolitan pizza.
The baguette has been protected by law since 1993.The law says the bread must be made with only the following things:water,wheat flour,yeast and salt.The flour should be fermented (发酵) for 15 to 20 hours at a certain temperature.This strict rule makes the food special and delicious.
Six million baguettes are sold every day in France.However,as supermarkets continue to take over,tens of thousands of shops have closed since the 1950s. "The first thing we ask of a child is to go buy a baguette," Anract said. "We think it important to protect these habits."

There were three big fish in the lake.One of them,Demo,was wise;another one,Jimmy,was half﹣wise;Martin,the third one,was stupid.
Some fishermen came to the bank of the lake with their nets.The three fish saw them.
Demo decided at once to leave,to make the long and difficult trip to the ocean.He thought,"I won't discuss with these two about this.They love this place so much that they call it home and will stay on.How silly they are!They still haven't realized we are in great danger now.Their ignorance will cost them their lives."
Seeing the wise fish had left,Jimmy thought,"My guide has gone and now I've lost my chance to escape."He felt sorry for it and then thought,"What can I do to save myself from these men and their nets?Perhaps I should pretend (假装)to be already dead,giving myself totally to the water."So he did that.He went up and down with the water,helpless,within arm's reach of the fishermen.
"Look at this!The best and biggest fish is dead."One of the men lifted him by the tail,and threw him up on the ground.He rolled (滚动)over and over and moved secretly toward the water,and then,back in.
The third fish was aimlessly jumping about,trying to escape with his speed and cleverness.The net,of course,finally closed around him,and as he lay in the hot frying﹣pan bed,he thought,"If I get out of this,I'll never live again in the limits of the lake.Next time,the ocean!I'll make it my home."
