For her global audience, what is even more interesting is Li’s deep knowledge of food, nature and Chinese culture. “I can see how good Chinese people are at cooking! I never thought of preserving (保存) meat like that!” one foreign fan wrote on YouTube.

25、Love, joy, and the warm feeling of pulling together to get through tough times don’t cost a thing. But gifts do cost money. So, what’s a poor family to do?

When Christmas season rolled around, I told my mother that the only thing I wanted was a pogo stick. However, my mother told me they were too expensive and that we simply couldn’t afford one.

On a Saturday afternoon a couple of weeks before Christmas, my mom and dad told me we needed to go to Sears to pay our credit card bill. While my mother and I were paying the bill, my dad said, “I’ll be right back — I need to see something in the tool department.” A little later, my dad came back with a long box. I remember wondering at that moment if there was a pogo stick in that box.

When we got home, my dad put the box in the garage. While my parents were busy with their chores, I quietly walked out to the garage and found the box. I hoped a pogo stick would be inside — but when I opened it, there was just an old broom. And so it looked like Christmas morning would be disappointing.

But after all the wrapping paper was cleaned up, my dad said he needed to tend to something in the garage. When he came back in, he was carrying a beautiful pogo stick. I couldn’t believe it!

My parents probably got quite a laugh from the trick they played on me.

Although we didn’t have much money, my parents gave me the most important gift of all: lots of love. My dad worked hard to support our family and my mother knew how to stretch a dollar. That was over 60 years ago and I still think about those wonderful Christmas memories every year during the holiday season. My parents were the best and I will never forget all the joy they brought into my life.

26、   The sudden death of Sir Charles Baskerville made everybody sad as he was a nice and respected man and had made many friends in Dartmoor during the two years he was at Baskerville Hall.

Mr Barrymore, the butler(男管家), said that Sir Charles had been sad and stressed these days.  He told Barrymore that he was planning to return to London the next day. Then, he went for his usual evening walk. He did not return, and at midnight, Barrymore went to look for him. He followed Sir Charles’s footprints along the path until he found his master’s body lying near the end of it.

A man called Murphy was on the moor at the time and said that he heard shouting, but he was drunk at the time and no one would believe what he said.

The report said that Sir Charles had a weak heart and died of a heart attack. And this made it clear that the stories of a huge hound should not be believed.

“Do you know anything more than what is in the newspapers?” said Holmes when Dr. Mortimer had finished.

“Yes indeed. Sir Charles would never go out onto the moor at night because he was in fear of being attacked. He asked me several times whether I had heard the hound howling at night, but I never had. I was there within an hour when he died. I went over to see his body. He lay face down on the ground with his arms out and his fingers dug into the ground. At the inquest, Barrymore said that he saw nothing else, but I did. I saw footprints, Mr Holmes.”

“Footprints?” said Holmes, leaning forward. “A man’s or a woman’s?”

Mortimer looked at us for a moment before replying. “Mr.Holmes, they were the footprints of a huge hound!”

【1】What can we know about Charles Baskerville?

A.He had been in a good mood for a few days.

B.He was going back to London the next day.

C.He usually took a walk with Barrymore at night.

D.He could not get along with others and had few friends.

28、   Life as Chopsticks

Right now, more and more people are digging into their food with two sticks which 【1】(call) chopsticks. Even people eating with 【2】(knife) and forks begin to love them. What’s so special about them? Because they have deep【3】(influent) on many people’s ways of life.

Simplicity. There’s hardly anything 【4】(simple) than chopsticks. With new technology developing every day, there’s still something that has just one use---simply to eat. The chopsticks don’t cost much. In real life, we don’t need to keep 【5】(improve) things all the time.

Aim. When using chopsticks, you cannot pick up everything in one go. Know what you want and just do it. Sometimes, a little bit of focus makes the difference【6】 failure and success.

Practice. Using chopsticks doesn’t come 【7】(nature). You have to learn to use them and practice it. Most would agree that there’s no better way 【8】 to practice. In real life, you may have many things you want to do, but it will just be 【9】 dream if you don’t try doing it.

Slowing down. A healthy way to eat is to eat with chopsticks. It slows you down and it【10】(allow) your stomach to tell your brain you are full before you overeat. In our life, we sometimes need to slow down to have time to think, to realize that we’re actually full and don’t have to rush full speed through life.

Think of life as a game in which you are playing with five balls in the air. You name them work, family, health, friends and spirit and you keep all of them in the air. You will soon understand that   is a rubber ball. If you drop it, it will bounce（弹跳）back.

But the other four balls, family, health, friends and spirit, are made of   .If you drop one of these, they will be broken. They will    be the same. You must understand that and try to have balance in your life. How?

Don't look down on your by comparing yourself with others. It is because we are different and each of us is special.

Don't let other people set   for you. Only you know what is best for yourself.

Don't run through life so fast that you forget not only   you've been, but also where you are going.

Don't be afraid to learn. Knowledge is a treasure you can always carry easily.

Don't use time or words   .You can't get them back. Yesterday is history,
