In China, since ancient times, people have put plants into pillows for their health. Medicinal pillows get medical treatment closely with people's life and keep the people working in process. Back in the Tang Dynasty (A.D. 618-907), the famous Chinese doctor Sun Simiao made medicinal pillows to treat aches in the neck and head, getting good results. The medicine that should be put into the pillow should be carefully chosen according to one's illness.Pillows filled with the skins of beans, seeds, dried flowers and wheat are good for the eyesight and keeping the mind clear, since their smell helps one go to sleep.

She said all the students at school had to learn paper cutting. But she had a deep love for it. So her teacher spent more time teaching her after class.

Words may hurt one and they can't be taken back. Here are four sentences you shouldn't say to kids."I don't care!"You may not care about what your kids think and often say "I don't care!" You should never say that."Say you're sorry!"Forcing(强迫) your kid to apologize to another kid does not teach anything. They don't understand why they have to apologize. Try this: Apologize to the child for your kid, and then encourage him or her to do so."Don't you get it?"You've taught your kid how to catch a baseball for times. When your kid fails, you might ask, "Don't you get it?" That may let your kid lose interest in doing anything on their own. Try this: Have a small rest and teach the lesson when you're ready to teach again."I'm going to leave without you!"Your kid refuses to leave the shop, so you might shout at him or her, "I'm going to leave without you!" It doesn't work because children know it's false. Try this: Walk away without telling your kid anything. The kid may feel frightened and believe what you say.67.

One year he sent them each, in turn, to go and look at a pear tree. The tree was very far away. The first son went in the winter, the second in the spring, the third in the summer, and the last in the autumn.When they had all gone and come back, he called them together to describe what they had seen. The first son said that the tree was ugly. The second son said, no, it was full of green buds(芽). The third sondisagreed. He said it had many beautiful blossoms(花) and smelled so sweet. The last son disagreed with all of them. He said it was full of fruit.The man then explained that they were all right, because they had each seen only one season in the tree's life. He told them that they could not judge a tree, or a person, by only one season. People can only measure(衡量) who they are-and the pleasure, joy, and love that come from that life-at the end, when all the seasons are up.If you give up when it's winter, you will miss the hope of your spring, the beauty of your summer, and harvest of your autumn.
