Thang-ga(唐卡)is a special kind of painting. It was found only in Tibet, China. It started from the Tang dynasty(唐朝).Thang-ga paintings show Tibetan people's lives. In recent years, Thang-ga paintings have caught the public's attention. At the same time, the Chinese government has also tried hard to protect the art.
The colors of Thang-ga paintings look wonderful and special. Because of the special environment of Tibet and the excellent skills of artists, the paints(颜料)used in Thang-ga paintings are different from other paints. They were made from minerals like gold and silver, as well as some plants. The paints were made by hand and the beautiful colors could last(持续)for hundreds of years.
However, with the development of technology, people now use cheaper and easily-made chemicals to make Thang-ga paints. The traditional paints used in Thang-ga paintings took a lot of work and they were made in many secret ways. Later people stopped making the paints and forgot about them. So the skills needed to make them were almost lost. The traditional Thang-ga paintings are difficult to find now.

If you love reading books, you must know about the book The Little Prince. It's a famous novel written by a French writer. As one of the best-selling books in history, it has been sold as many as 200 million copies in 253 languages and dialects(方言). Now, around seventy years after the birth of the book, an American director has found a way to make it into a 3D animated film（动画片）.
The book tells the story of a pilot, called The Aviator, who crashes(撞击)into the desert and meets a young prince there. However, in the film, the story starts years after the crash when The Aviator is much older. He has got a new neighbor called The Little Girl, whose mother wants her to get ready to enter the grown-up world. Slowly The Aviator shares his story with The Little Girl by writing it down and sending her a page at a time. The pages are complete with the pictures in the book, speaking about his time in the desert and taking The Little Girl to an amazing world where anything is possible.
China is the first country in the world to see the film in two versions一in Chinese and English. The film shows The Little Girl's life and tells The Little Prince's story at the same time in a beautiful way.
Huang Lei, who voices the film together with his 9-year-old daughter, says the film is like a childhood dream which is lost by most adults in this stressed-out society.
“The most touching part is that every one of us was a good-natured kid like the Little Prince, and it's a pity that this good characteristic (品质)goes away as tithe flies,” he says.

（2016云南昆明）C
Alice spends her summer vacations walking back into history. Alice is 15 and she is a guide who shows visitors around the Fort(城堡)Delaware Museum in New York. “This year, I spun wool(妨毛线)on a spinning wheel. Last year, I was a candle maker. My first year, I cared for the garden and looked after the animals. All the jobs I've had at the fort have been really fun.”
Fort Delaware is a living-history museum that shows how life was in frontier(边远地区)America in the mid-1700s. “Reading about history can't compare to experiencing it for yourself,” says Alice.
The experience begins as soon as visitors enter the fort. The smell of wood smoke fills the air. Women in petticoats (long skirts) and men in knee breeches (knee-length shorts) are busy with their chores. The guides show visitors how the settlers(移民)would have carried out everyday work. “Kids are surprised when I tell them that one of their jobs would have been to make candles,”says another guide, 16-year-old Jane. “They don't realize that kids back then had to work hard.”She also shows visitors how to play with toys and games.
They are playing historical parts, so the guides can't wear shorts or T-shirts when the weather is hot. But the clothes of the past can easily change modern kids into people from the 18th century. “The clothing felt strange at first, but it does make it easier to get into characters,” says Jane.
Working at the fort has helped Jane to appreciate her life even more. Alice agrees, “The fort has taught me how hard life was and how much work there was every day. We are so lucky with everything we have now. Life wasn't always this easy.”

Friends are important in our life, because no one wants to be lonely. However, some people have difficulty in making friends and they often feel lonely. 62 According to a new study from Chicago University, the reason is that this kind of people have brains(脑)different from common people. And they often feel unsafe when facing strangers.
Does that mean they have no way to become happy again? 63
Scientists of this study have thought up ways to help these people deal with their loneliness. They provided four steps for getting out of loneliness.
64 “It's not enough for people just to get in touch with others online. That's because most people don't show their true selves there,” said Dr. Cacioppo, one of this study's scientists. Another step is to get an action plan. As “actions speak louder than words”, people need to be active to communicate with others. They also need to meet people with the same interests. Also, they should try to expect the best from each activity. 65 Who knows what good things are waiting for us?

One possible version
Do small things well
As far as we know, everyone wants to make a big difference to our family, our school or our country, so they hope to do such big things that can be paid attention to, because they think these big things are worth doing. As a result, no one would like to do small things, such as picking up the litter, cleaning the blackboard at school, cooking for the whole family, and so on.
In fact, I think such small things are even more important than those big things. It’s our duty to do the certain things, which make up the whole world.
As the saying goes,“One can't make a by success without being self reliant.”It’s always true and useful to everyone.
Boys and girls, do you want to success? Just start doing small things well. If you can do such things well step by step, you will achieve it!
