Laura has an aunt who works in London. She loves Laura so much that she invites Laura to London every summer.
Last year Laura was happy to go to London and saw some famous places in London, including the British museum, National Gallery (画廊) and other great buildings. How beautiful! She fell in love with them, but one thing made her unhappy. It’s her first time to go to a big square, but when she passed the square alone, a thief stole her wallet in her pocket. She had to walk to his aunt’s house angrily.
This year Laura’s aunt invited her to London again, one day, when she passed the same square with her aunt, she was more careful not to be stolen. She saw a man go close to her and put his hand in her pocket with a smile. Then he took out his hand quickly and left. She became very angry and shouted, “Stop it, or I will call the police!” To her surprise, she found her aunt and all the other people there laughing with the word “Congratulations!” In fact, the man was not a thief. Instead, he put ten pounds in her pocket. It was an interesting game. The organizers wanted to correct the bad impression (印象) of the square, so they hired (雇佣) some “thieves” to do that game.

When disaster (灾难) happens, you might find yourself without water, gas and electricity. You might even need to leave your home right away. So you are supposed to plan for the bad situations before the disaster comes. Here are some suggestions.
First, have a family meeting. Plan a way to get your family members together if they can’t find each other after the disaster. Choose two places for everyone to go to if it isn’t safe to return home. The first should be near your house. You can go there in an emergency (紧急情况) like a fire. The second meeting place should be outside your neighborhood.
Next, choose a person outside your area who can help your family get in touch with each other. After a disaster, it is often easier to communicate over a long-distance call than a local one. The person can pass messages between your family members.
Then, get a family disaster kit ready. It should include things your family needs. It can help you survive (生存) at least for three days like bread, water, medicine and things like that. Put them in a bag so you can carry it if you leave in a hurry. When doing it, remember that different people have different needs. Include special things necessary for elderly of young members of your family.
Finally, practice your emergency plan, and update (更新) it as necessary.
You may not be able to stop disasters, but with a little planting you can be helped.

“I am a selfish child.
I hope the sunshine lies only upon me, so I can feel its warmth.

This poem was written by a middle school student in a lonely mountainous town in Yunnan Province during her first poetry class. The girl missed her mother, who died when she was 5.
Kang Yu, the teacher who taught the girl how to write the poem, graduated from Renmin University of China in Beijing in 2015. Soon after her graduation, Kang moved to a town in Yunnan, and worked as a teacher at a middle school.
Kang said, “Compared with students in the city, perhaps students in the countryside need a way to express their feelings and be heard more.” Supported by the headmaster and other teachers, the school held eight poetry classes for students every year.
As the classes grew in popularity, Kang became the school’s favorite teacher. After she finished her teaching at the school in June 2017, she returned to Beijing and planned to study abroad.
However, on Teachers’ Day in 2017, Kang received a big box full of poems and letters written by students at her old school. She felt she was needed and decided to abandon her plan of studying abroad. Instead she set up Enlighten our Future, a charity that teaches students in the countryside how to write poems.
“Now, I go to several places every week. I sleep less than six hours a night and the job provides no vacations and little money, but the happiness and satisfaction I feel is rewarding enough.” Kang said.
