Where is Love? How can we find Love? Once a little boy wanted to meet Love. He knew it was a long trip to where Love lived, so he got his things ready with some pizzas and drinks and started off. When he passed three streets, he saw an old woman sitting in the park and watching some birds. She looked very hungry. The boy gave her a pizza. She took it and smiled at him. The smile was so beautiful that he wanted to see it again, so he gave her a Coke. Once again she smiled. The boy was very happy.

They sat there all afternoon, eating and smiling, but they said nothing. When it grew dark, the boy decided to leave. But before he had gone more than a few steps, he turned around, ran back to the old woman and gave her a hug. The woman gave him her biggest smile ever.

When the boy opened the door of his house, his mother was surprised by the look of joy(快乐) on his face and asked what had made him so happy. “I had lunch with Love. She has got the most beautiful smile in the world.”

At the same time, the old woman’s son was also surprised at his mother’s pleasure and asked why. “I ate a pizza in the park with Love,” she said, “and he is much younger than I expected.”

If the world is full of love, we can enjoy a better life.

Holmes was talking about the Baskerville case with me.

The picture showed us that Stapleton was indeed a Baskerville. He was the s1.of Roger Baskerville, who was Sir Charles’ younger brother. Roger was a criminal who ran from prison. Everyone thought he had died unmarried, but that was not true. He m2. and had one son, a3. called Roger, whom we knew as Stapleton. Stapleton discovered that he would inherit(继承)the Baskerville lands i4. Sir Charles and Sir Henry both died. When he met Sir Charles, he heard the story of the hound---huge dog. He also learned that Sir Charles believed these super natural stories, and that he had a w5.heart.

Stapleton bought a huge hound and used the phosphorus( 磷 )to make it shine l6. the hound in the story.

Then Stapleton made Laura Lyons write a letter to b7. Sir Charles to the moor gate on that sad night. The hound, which was s8. with phosphorus, ran after Sir Charles. Sir Charles was so afraid that his heart s9., and he died, but the criminal did not touch the dead body.

The hound had run on the grass, so it left no footprints. Neither he nor the hound had touched Sir Charles so there was no sign of murder. The only two people who might suspect him---his wife and Mrs Lyons could not be certain about what he had done. Anyway, n10. of them would tell the police about him.

Margeaux Wolberg was sitting with the other 12-year-olds in her class when one of the girls turned to her and asked, "Is your mom dead?"

She never came to school like the other mothers to volunteer in the library or help the teachers. It was always Margeaux's dad who did that.

Margeaux reached for her computer, typed a few words into Google and showed her classmate a list of information with her mother's name and job titles, from CEO at Salesforce.com to her present role as vice-president of technology business operations at PayPal. "See, my mom's not dead," she said. "My mom's famous."

Kirsten Wolberg, 45, tells this story with pride. She is not trapped by an uneasy feeling these days when she has to miss a school play. Instead she is glad that her two daughters are growing up with such a strong role model: a woman in a high-powered job in Silicon Valley.

Long before neither of her kids was born, Wolberg and her future husband Michael had a talk about how they would divide household and childcare duties. "I said, 'Listen, one of the things that's really important to me is to have a parent at home full time, '" she remembers. "'And it can't be me.'"

Michael Wolberg, 43, worked for years for a medicine company. But when Margeaux was born, he offered to give up his job and became a stay-at-home dad. And he has never felt sorry for himself. Spending 12 hours a day alone with a child suits his personality better than an office, he says, and much better than it would ever suit his wife.

"She's spent many, many years trying to get to the place where she is and even further," he says, "and this lifestyle of cleaning the floor and changing diapers(尿片)and all kinds of other things are not for her."
