Changbai Mountain is in Jilin Province. It’s said to be the most beautiful mountain in the northeast of China. Its name, Changbai, means “ever white” in Chinese, and its whiteness is because of the pumice stones(浮石). You can get there by train or by bus.

Here are some tips for you if you want to visit it:

1. From November to April, heavy snow covers(覆盖) the area. August is the best time to visit it.

2. Be sure to start from your hotel early in the morning, so that you have enough time to see everything and return. Visitors can’t live on the mountain. 　　 

3. Bring food and water with you.

Hey! Mother's Day is coming. Have you planned something good for your mom? If not, try one of these tips.

　　What's Her Favorite?

　　Most teens don't know what their mom's favorite is. You do? Then, what are you waiting for? Buy her something she likes and wrap it carefully. The best time to give her that is while she is sleeping at night. Put it on the drawer next to her so that when she wakes up she'll be surprised to see it.

　　Treat a Queen

　　Your house is a palace with a king and queen (it doesn't matter if you're rich or poor). Our mother is the real queen in our life and in our family though her duties make her look like she is not. Give the lady a day off and you can do the housework.

　　Because of stress and the problems that she is facing right now, she doesn't look good any more. Perhaps you could take some of your savings to treat her in a salon or the department store. Then, choose nice clothes that would make her look beautiful!

　　Have Some of Your Time

Our mothers have special memories in mind. It is the time that they gave birth to their healthy baby. How about you? What's your best moment with her? Have you ever had a good time with your mother not talking about your problems and arguments? Have you ever told her how much you thank her for the life she gave to you, the time she cared for you? Maybe you can tell her how happy you are when she was there looking after you during your painful days in your life.

Tell the magic words

Life is short. We don't know what will happen tomorrow. Those three words can make her heart jump for joy, you know? Just tell her “I love you!” and it would make her smile so sweetly. Just try! We don't want to miss a thing, right?

The aim(目的) of students who came to school is to study. But to study requires(需要) a right way，or you waste either the time or the money. The following are the ways of studying.

　　The best time for reading is morning，because in the morning，the air is fresh and the mind is clear. For that reason，we can get good results(结果).

　　In studying we must have patience(耐心). If we have not known a text well，we must read it again. We should not read the next one till we have learned the first one.

　　When we are studying，we must put our hearts into the book，or we can get nothing from the book while we are reading.

　　We must always ask "whys". If it is not well understood，write it down and ask our teachers or our parents，or friends. In any possible way，we must know it completely and what we've learned can be used well and made better.

Though there are many ways for studying，yet the above mentioned(提到的) will be quite enough if we can keep them in heart and do so.

　Sometimes I really doubt whether there is love between my parents. Every day they are very busy trying to earn money in order to pay the high tuition for my brother and me. They don’t act in the romantic ways that I read in books or I see on TV. In their opinion, “I love you” is too luxurious for them to say. Sending flowers to each other on Valentine’s Day is even more out of the question. Finally my father has a bad temper. When he’s very tired from the hard work, it is easy for him to lose his temper.　
　　One day, my mother was sewing a quilt. I silently sat down beside her and looked at her.　
　　“Mom, I have a question to ask you,” I said after a while.　
　　“What?” she replied, still doing her work.　
　　“Is there love between you and Dad?” I asked her in a very low voice.　
　　My mother stopped her work and raised her head with surprise in her eyes. She didn’t answer immediately. Then she bowed her head and continued to sew the quilt.　
　　I was very worried because I thought I had hurt her. I was in a great embarrassment and I didn't know what I should do. But at last I heard my mother say the following words:　
　　“Susan,” she said thoughtfully, “Look at this thread. Sometimes it appears, but most of it disappears in the quilt. The thread really makes the quilt strong and durable. If life is a quilt, then love should be a thread. It can hardly be seen anywhere or anytime, but it’s really there.”
　　I listened carefully but I couldn’t understand her until the next spring. At that time, my father suddenly got sick seriously. My mother had to stay with him in the hospital for a month. When they returned from the hospital, they both looked very pale. It seemed both of them had had a serious illness.
　　After they were back, every day in the morning and dusk, my mother helped my father walk slowly on the country road. My father had never been so gentle. It seemed they were the most harmonious couple. Along the country road, there were many beautiful flowers, green grass and trees. The sun gently glistened through the leaves. All of these made up the most beautiful picture in the world.
　　Once I thought love meant flowers, gifts and sweet kisses. But from this experience, I understand that love is just a thread in the quilt of our life, making life strong and warm.
