When I was six, Dad brought home a dog one day, who was called ¡°Brownie¡± My brothers and I all loved Brownie and did different things with her. One of us would walk her, another would feed her, then there were baths, playing catch and many other games, Brownie in return, loved each and every one of us. One thing that most touched my heart was that she would go to whoever was sick and just be with them and we always felt better when she was around.

One day, as I was getting her food, she chewed up (Ò§ÆÆ) one of Dad¡¯s shoes, which had to be thrown away in the end. I knew Dad would be mad and I had to let her know what she did was wrong. When I looked at her and said, ¡°Bad girl,¡± she looked down at the ground and then went and hid. I saw a tear in her eyes.

Brownie turned out to be more than just our family pet, she went everywhere with us. People would stop and ask if they could pet her. Of course she¡¯d let anyone pet her. She was just the most lovable dog. There were many times when we¡¯d be out walking and a small child would come over and pull up her hair, she never barked (·Í) or tried to get away.

It¡¯s common for parents to feel emotional when the moment comes for their child to leave home and go to university. Even parents who don¡¯t speak about the event are likely to feel a sense of sadness because it¡¯s the end of an era when you and your family were at the centre of your child's world. As a parent you¡¯ll probably continue to support your child in different ways, but the main job of raising your child is over. It's a huge change for everyone involved.

There are a few things that you can do to make the transition easier. Plan carefully for your child's departure and think about how you can help. Many parents take their child to university for the first time. If you decide to do that, be ready to feel a real wrench when the time comes to say goodbye. Your child will probably be as nervous as you are about the moment when you finally say goodbye ¨C but that might not show!

Be positive and cheerful about the choice your child has made to continue studying, and plan to leave once you¡¯ve unpacked the car and looked around your child¡¯s new living accommodations. If you can, you¡¯ll make things easier on your child and yourself.

The more you¡¯ve invested in being a parent, the more you'll feel a sense of loss, so the sadness you feel now is a sign that you've been a good mom or dad. Remind yourself that parenting is all about raising an independent and confident child who functions well without you. If your child quickly settles and starts enjoying himself, you should congratulate yourself.

It¡¯s also only fair to allow yourself some time to grieve (±¯Í´). Don't expect to pick yourself up and move on straight away. But you may decide to find a hobby or sport to fill your extra time. Perhaps you¡¯ve always wanted to learn a new language, go to yoga classes or take up swimming. You may decide to spend more time with close friends, who are likely to be feeling the absence of your child as well.

Agree on the best approach to staying in touch before your child leaves, and stick to your agreement. Try not to panic if your child doesn¡¯t respond immediately -- remember, they¡¯re starting a new and busy life.

Have you heard about Leap year? Leap year is a year that has 366 days instead of the usual 365. It normally occurs every four years, always on an even-numbered year. The extra day is added to our shortest month. That is the second month of the year, which in non-leap years has 28 days, two fewer than any other month. 1.

We also call Leap year the bissextile year (ÈòÄê). 2. In our calendar system there is a need for a leap year because the solar year (the time it takes the earth to go around the sun once£©is actually slightly more than 365 days long. That extra day¡ªFeb 29 every four years¡ªhelps correct the difference between our calendar and the solar calendar.

It is said that Leap year was first made part of the calendar by the ancient Roman leader Julius Caesar. His astronomers had calculated the length of the solar year to be 365 days and six hours. So Caesar declared that an extra day be added to the calendar.3.

However, Caesar¡¯s adjustment was not completely accurate because his astronomers¡¯ year exceeded the true solar year by eleven minutes and fourteen seconds. By 1582, a difference of ten days had developed between the calendar year and the true solar year. To correct this error, Pope Gregory XIII ruled that every fourth year would continue to be a leap year except for century years that could not be divided evenly by 400. By this system, century years such as 1700, 1800, and 1900 were not leap years, but the year 2000 was a leap year. 4.

People born on Feb 29 celebrate their growing up a little differently from the rest of us.

5. But if they go strictly by the calendar, they have only one-fourth as many birthday celebrations as most people.

A. They acknowledge that they get older each year.

B. When you see Feb 29 on a calendar, you know that year is a leap year.

C. This is its formal, or scientific title.

D. This may seem complicated, but it works.

E. This is done every four years.

F. The leap year was introduced in the Julian calendar in 46 BC.

G. In a leap year, the extra day is added to the second month, giving it 29 instead of the usual 28 days.

Reading can be a social activity. Think of the people who belong to book groups. They choose books to read and then meet to discuss them. Now the website BookCrossing.com turns the page on the traditional idea of a book group.

Members go on the site and register the books they own and would like to share. BookCrossing provides an identification number to stick inside the book. Then the person leaves it in a public place, hoping that the book will have an adventure, traveling far and wide with each new reader who finds it.

Bruce Pederson, the managing director of BookCrossing, says, ¡°The two things that change your life are the people you meet and books you read. BookCrossing combines both.¡±

Members leave books on park benches and buses, in train stations and coffee shops. Whoever finds their book will go to the site and record where they found it.

People who find a book can also leave a journal entry describing what they thought of it. E-mails are then sent to the BookCrossers to keep them updated about where their books have been found. Bruce Peterson says the idea is for people not to be selfish by keeping a book to gather dust on a shelf at home.

BookCrossing is part of a trend among people who want to get back to the ¡°real¡± and not the virtual(ÐéÄâ). The site now has more than one million members in more than one hundred thirty-five countries.
