Although I’m not in my childhood, I still prefer reading fairy tales. They often make me think of some special experiences and feelings. This summer I’ve reviewed this kind of tales, The Little Prince. It was published in 1940. It’s the world-famous fairy tale by the French author Antoine.

“I”, the narrator(讲述者) of the story, is a pilot. His plane has something wrong and lands in the Sahara. The little prince lives on a small planet, and he grows a flower called ROSE there. One day they have a quarrel(争吵), so the little prince runs away. On his all-alone journey, he meets different kinds of people. From these people he gets a conclusion(结论) that grown-ups are strange. And with the help of the man he meets, he descends in the Sahara.

This book moved me a lot. It is not only a fairy tale for children and teenagers, but also for grown-ups.

This summer, Liu Hongcan, a 30-year-old Chongqing woman, had to say goodbye to her daughter again. She sent her little girl to Guizhou province to stay with her daughter’s grandparents for the summer vacation ______________ in Chongqing.
A list of “hottest cities” in China came out last month. Chongqing is No.1 on the list. Fuzhou and Hangzhou take the second and third place.
The list is based on a “heat index”(热指数).It uses temperature and humidity date(湿度数据)1981 to 2011.The scientists tried to learn how hot the weather was over a period of time, and find out how people feel.
