Thousands of years ago, Shennong, who had an ox(牛) head and a human body, lived in South China. Seeing that local people were suffering from disease(患有疾病), he built ladders(梯子) and houses on a high mountain to keep hundreds of medical plants. 1.

The legend(传说) has made Shennongjia in Hubei an inviting place for tourists. 2. You can see beautiful scenes of the four seasons from different altitudes(海拔). “When the bottom of the mountain is summer, the top is spring and while the foot of the hill is autumn, the top is covered with ice,” local people say of the special weather of Shennongjia.

Shennongjia is also home to 5,000 kinds of animals and plants. 3. For example, the golden monkey, the clouded leopard(云豹) and the Asian black bear live there.

One mystery about Shennongjia is its “Bigfoot” legend. Some people once said that they saw very big footprints(脚印) or large man-like animals. 4. Some say they are just bears.

5. On July 17, 2016, Shennongjia Forestry District was added(增加) to the United Nations World Heritage list as a natural site(遗址). China now has 50 world heritage sites, second only to Italy in the world.

A thief who dropped a winning lottery ticket(彩票) at the scene of his crime has been given a lesson in honesty. The man who was robbed picked up the ticket, then won the £25,000 prize,managed to look for him, and handed over the cash.

The robbery happened when maths professor Vinicio Sabbatucci, 58, was changing a tyre (轮胎) on an Italian motorway. Another motorist, who stopped to “help”, stole a suitcase from his car and drove off. The professor found the dropped ticket and put it in his pocket before driving home to Ascoli in eastern Italy.

The next day, he saw the lottery results on TV and, taking out the ticket, realized it was a winner. He claimed(认领) the 60 million lire(里拉) prize. Then he began a battle with his conscience. Finally, he decided he could not keep the money although he had been robbed. He advertised in newspapers and on radio, saying: “I’m trying to find the man who robbed me. I have 60 million for him ― a lottery winner. Please meet me. Anonymity guaranteed.(匿名担保)”

Professor Sabbatucci received hundreds of calls from people hoping to trick him into handing them the cash. But there was one voice he recognized, and he arranged to meet the man in a park. The robber, a 35-year-old unemployed father of two, gave back the suitcase and burst into tears. He could not believe what was happening. “Why didn't you keep the money?” he asked. The professor replied: “I couldn't because it's not mine.” Then he walked off, refusing the thief's offer of a reward.

Thanksgiving Day was near. A first grade teacher gave her class a tun task——to draw a picture of something for which they were thankful.

Most of the students didn’t come from rich families, but many would still celebrate the holiday with turkey and other traditional goodies of season. These, the teacher thought, would be the subjects of most of the students’ art. And they were, for the most part.

But one student named Douglas drew a different kind of picture. Douglas was a different kind of boy. He was often sad. While other children would play with each other during break time, he would stand closely by his teacher’s side. There was pain behind his sad eyes. But what was it? One could only guess.

Yes, his picture was different. He drew a hand. Nothing else. Just an empty hand.

Other children started to guess whose hand it could be. One child guessed it was the hand of a farmer, because farmers raise turkeys. Another suggested a police officer, because police keep people safe. And so the discussion went on.

Finally the teacher walked over to Douglas’ desk, bent down and asked him whose hand it was. The little boy looked away and said, “It’s yours, teacher.”

She recalled the times when she had taken his hand and walked with him here and there. How often had she said “Take my hand, Douglas, we’ll go outside” or “Let me show you how to hold your pencil.”

Douglas was most thankful for his teacher’s hand.

Earthquakes usually come without warning. What should you do if this happens to you? An earthquake is dangerous, but there are still things you can do to protect yourself.

Stay calm as the earth begins to shake. Your chances of survival in an earthquake go up if you can keep calm. Staying calm is not easy, but it can save your life.

If you are inside when the earthquake starts, get under a table or a bed. You need to have something strong around you to protect you from falling objects. Do not stand near walls and windows and stay out of the kitchen. The kitchen is dangerous because of many glass objects.

If you are outside, get to an open area as fast as you can. Stay away from buildings and trees. If you are in a car, pull over to a place where there are no trees or tall buildings and stay in the car. If you are close to the sea, try to get as far away from the water as possible. Earthquakes can cause huge waves(浪) that can really harm the people nearby.

When the earthquake is over, there is still plenty of danger. For example, gas fire often comes with an earthquake. If you see a fire, quickly move outdoors to an open area.

Always remember to hope for the best but prepare for the worst.
