Once upon a time, a young man came across a spring(泉水) of clear water while crossing the desert. The water was very sweet, and he filled his leather container(皮革容器) so that he could bring some to his teacher. After a four-day journey, he presented the water to his teacher.
The old man took a deep drink, smiled and thanked his
student very much for the sweet water. The young man returned to his village with a happy heart. After a while, the teacher let astudent taste the water. He spat (吐) it out, saying it was terrible. It was clear that the water had become no longer fresh sweet because of the old leather container. The student questioned his teacher, “Master, the water tasted strange. Why did you still like it?” The teacher replied, “You
tasted the water while I tasted the gift. The water was the container for an act of love and kindness and nothing could be
.”
After reading the story, we can understand that when we receive a chocolate as a gift from a child, we get more than the chocolate. What we should do properly is to express
naturally to him or her because we love the idea within the gift.
Gratitude (感谢) doesn’t always come naturally. , most children and many grown-ups like only the thing given rather than the
shown in it. We should remind ourselves and teach our children about the beauty of feelings and
of gratitude. After all, gifts from the heart are really gifts of the heart.

Firstly, it is important to report new events. TV stations can report news much faster than newspapers. Yet, newspapers giveabout the same story. They may also look at the story in another way, or they may print totally different stories to those on TV.
Secondly, a news story has to be interesting and . People don’t want to read stories about everyday life. As a result, many stories are about some kind of danger and seem to be “bad’ news. For example, newspapers
tell stories about planes landing safely,
, they tell stories about plane crashes. In addition, many people are interested in news in foreign countries while others prefer to read stories about people, places and events in their own country. So the stories on the front page in Chinese newspapers are usually very different from the ones in British, French and American newspapers.
Hundreds of years ago, news was carried from place to place by people on foot or by horse. It took days, weeks and sometimes months for people to receive news. Now it is to send words and pictures around the world in seconds. Billions of people learn about news stories
by watching TV or reading newspapers.
Newspapers have been an important part of everyday life the 18th century. Many countries have
different newspapers. How do newspaper editors decide which news stories to print? Why do they print some stories and not others? What makes a good newspaper story?
