Lanterns have been part of Chinese culture for centuries and play an important part in many celebrations. In ancient times, there were mainly three kinds of lanterns：
Palace lantern（宫灯）

Gauze lantern（纱灯）
Less expensive bamboo and gauze were used to cover the lantern. Red gauze was used when making them. 2. So red lanterns are always hung on important festivals such as Lantern Festival, Spring Festival and National Day in parks or along main streets. In some famous Chinatowns abroad, you can see red lanterns all the year round. 3.
Shadow-picture lantern（走马灯）
It was usually used for amusement. 4. There were two layers(层) of covers and pictures were drawn on the inside layer. When the candle was lit, the heat caused a paper wheel inside the lantern to turn around, so that moving pictures appeared on the outside cover.

A little boy was playing in his sandbox on a Saturday morning. While he was building roads and houses in the soft sand, he discovered a large stone in the middle of the sandbox.
The little boy pushed and pulled, but every time he thought he had made some progress, the tone tipped(倾斜) and then fell back into the sandbox. The little boy tried his best, but his only reward(奖赏) was to have the stone fall back.
Finally the boy cried. All that time the boy's father watched him from his living room window. At the moment tears fell, his father came to the boy and the sandbox. Gently but surely he said, "Son, why didn't you use all the strength that you had?" The boy said sadly, "But I did, daddy, I did! I used all the strength that I had!" "No, son, you didn't ask me." With that, the father reached down, picked up the stone and removed it into sandbox.
Do you have stones in your life that need to be removed? Are you discovering that you are too weak to lift them? There is ONE who is always ready to give us the strength we need. Isn't it funny how we try so hard to do things on our own?

If you want to become a better reader, what should you know about the speed of reading? Some people read very quickly, while others read very slowly. But which one is better? The quick reader may be a good reader when he reads a storybook for fun. But he may not be able to slow down to read instructions carefully. He may read so quickly that he does not take time to understand fully the ideas and information which are important to remember. The slow reader may be a good reader. But he may spend altogether too much time reading a simple story which is meant to be enjoyed but is not important enough to be remembered. So you see, neither the reader who reads everything quickly nor the one who reads everything slowly is really a good reader. Here are four important things to remember about the speed of reading：
Knowing why you are reading will often help you to know whether to read quickly or slowly.
Some things should be read slowly throughout(彻底地). Examples are instructions for making or doing something, math problems, science and storybooks which are full of important information. You must read such things slowly to remember each important step and understand each important idea.
Some things should be read quickly throughout. Examples are simple stories for enjoyment, letters from friends, and bits of news from hometown papers.

In real life, most people seem confident. But when they can't have things they want, they are upset and lose themselves. Do you want to learn how to be yourself? Here are some suggestions.
Be kind to yourself
Appreciate what you have done. Everyone has different talents which can help to make the world become a better one. Remember you don't need to satisfy everyone. No matter what others think of you, just be yourself.
Make good friends
Always make friends with people who are willing to make you feel better about yourself. Good friends neither talk about how great they are nor praise you a lot. They enjoy being with you, not because you are like them, but because you are yourself.
Think about your family.
The values of your family are to give you what really need. Maybe you can't get help when you have small problems. But you can learn how to depend on yourself. When you meet big problems, your family will always be with you.
Hold on to your dream
Holding on to your dream can make you braver and stronger. On the way of achieving your dream, you'll know who you are and what you want. Even though you can't achieve it, you'll find you are better and you can still live a normal life.
In a word, you are the only one. Accept yourself and be yourself. Being unsuccessful doesn't mean you're not good enough. You just need a long way to go.
