An elderly carpenter (木匠) was ready to retire (退休). He told his boss that he planned to leave the building business and live a more relaxing life with his wife, enjoying his big family. He would miss the pay check each week, but he needed to retire. He believed they could get by (勉强过活) even on a small amount of money.

The boss was sorry to see his good worker leave and asked if he could build just one more house as a personal favor. The carpenter said yes, but soon afterwards he was found to be absent-minded. He used shoddy materials to build the house. How disappointing it was to end his career in this way!

When the carpenter finished all his work, the boss came to inspect (检查) the new house as usual. But after that, he handed the front-door key to the carpenter, saying. “This is your house, my gift to you.”

What a shock! What a shame! If he had known he was building his own house, he would have done it all so differently. Now he had to live in the worst house he had ever built in his life.

Think of yourself as the carpenter. Think about your house. Each day you hammer a nail, place a board, or put up a wall. Build wisely. It is the only life you ever build. Even if you live it for only one more day, that day deserves (值得) to be lived comfortably. Life is a do-it yourself project. Your life today is the result of your attitudes (态度) and choices in the past. Your life tomorrow will be the result of your attitudes and the choices you make today.

When Nina walked into class, she noticed there was a new student. The girl looked a little nervous, but she was busy getting started on her morning work. Nina decided that she would talk to her later.

As Mrs. Anderson taught the math lesson, Nina lost focus. Instead of paying attention to the lesson, Nina was thinking about her first day at this new school just a few months ago. She remembered the fear and the tears. Starting a new school was hard, and Nina wanted to help this new girl, Denise. She couldn’t wait for lunchtime so that she could talk to Denise and maybe make a new friend.

When Mrs. Anderson told the class to line up for lunch, Nina realized she had no idea what her homework task was. She hoped she could talk to Denise. Denise had focused on the lesson, while Nina was not paying attention to the teacher at all.

“Excuse me,” Denise said to Nina. “Do you know where there is an open seat? I’m not sure where I should sit.”

Nina happily directed Denise to the seat next to her. Together, they opened their lunch-boxes. At first, their conversation was short, but after a few minutes the girls had a steady(稳定的) conversation. It was so much fun to meet a new friend.

Whether we admit it or not, many of us have experienced loneliness. Last month, a survey done by US health service company Cigna found that loneliness has become a common situation in the country. It even found that young people aged 18-22 are more likely to feel lonely than the elders. Loneliness often leads to the emotions of sadness and loss, and can even “make us sick”. So, how do we deal with the pain of loneliness?

Throwing ourselves into distractions can be useful. US lifestyle writer Adrienne Breaux wrote about how she turned loneliness into a productive learning process. She used to be a terrible cook, but whenever loneliness hit her, she would buy a lot of ingredients and try out how to make them into delicious dishes. After a few months, she became good at cooking dishes she’d never even made before.

This is a typical example of how loneliness gets us out of our comfort zone and allows us to grow. “When it comes to keeping loneliness at bay (控制住) , one of the best ways is to occupy your time with things that feel enriching, creative and exciting.” Breaux wrote, “It’s hard to feel lonely when you’re trying to master a new skill, practice a hobby or try out a new recipe.”

The attitude we choose toward loneliness is also the key to deal with it. If we see loneliness as an unwanted and annoying thing, we will suffer it. But if we admit that it’s an everyday part of life, we’ll be able to “embrace (拥抱) the beauty of our solo journey”, as best-selling US author Mandy Hale wrote in her book The Single Woman.

Instead of desperately (拼命地) finding someone to talk to or go out with, trying to have fun on our own is more practical. US Internet writer Kayla Albert shared a story of her friend, who uses her time alone to do what she really wants to do. Her friend goes out for dinner, watches movies, and visits art museums — all on her own. She claims that this kind of single lifestyle brings her joyfulness and gracefulness.

So, we can do it too. Indeed, sometimes, the best songs are the ones performed alone.

Have you ever shoveled (铲) snow after a snowstorm? Most people try to remove snow. But in February, in Sapporo, Japan, trucks actually bring snow into the city! People shovel the snow into large piles, and these piles of snow become outdoor cafes, concert stages, and beautiful sculptures (雕像).

Artists from all over the world come to Sapporo’s Snow Festival every year to enter the sculpture competition. But the sculptures aren’t made of stone, metal or wood – they are made of snow and ice! Artists sometimes work 11 to 12 hours a day to make amazing sculptures. Many of the sculptures are huge and very detailed. During the day, the sculptures shine in the winter sun. At night, colorful lights shine on them. Millions of people go to see them every year.

The Snow Festival had not always been so popular. It started in 1950 as something very small. People in Sapporo wanted to go outside and have fun during the long, boring winter, so the city held a one-day fair in a park. People listened to music and danced. They watched movies and dog races. But some high school students had a great idea and built six large interesting snow sculptures. People really liked the sculptures, and the Snow Festival was born.

Five years later, soldiers nearby brought tons of snow into the city. They made the snow into large blocks and used ladders to build huge sculptures. These sculptures were amazing, and the small festival turned into an international event.

More than 60 years have passed. Today, the festival is seven days long. Every year, millions of people wear their warmest coats and go outside to celebrate the snow!
