To go to college, Daniela came to the United States. At the beginning she was satisfied with the little bit she had. “When I arrived in Arizona I thought that if I had to go back, at least I knew something about the United States,” she said. But after the first day in the United States, she missed her parents a lot. “I really needed support from them,” she said. “I wanted someone who was there when I needed support.”

Now, to be here in the United States she feels how much she has grown without her parents. She thinks that now she is a stronger person. “I have learned to value what I have and this has helped me to mature,” Daniela said.

At the same time she has to be far from her parents now and she repents(悔过) many things and she values her parents even more. Her father was trying to give her a better future even though it was not enough for her family to live. “I can tell now how much my father worked for me,” she said.

Now Daniela’s goal is to graduate from high school and be able to get a college degree. She knows that the way is long and the struggles she has gone through are just the beginning. But she also believes that the difficult life she has now will help provide a better future.

There were 12 bronze（青铜）animal heads at the European style（风格）in Old Summer Palace （Yuanmingyuan）-Rat，Ox，Tiger, Rabbit，Dragon，Snake，Horse，Sheep，Monkey, Rooster, Dog，and Pig．They were made into fountain（喷泉）and would take turns spouting water every two hours to tell time．

    But the heads were looted（抢） by French and British soldiers in 1860 during the Second Opium War（鸦片战争）．

Two people sit down to play Go（围棋）．One of the players is an old man．He is now 89 years old．He has spent all of his life playing this game．The other person is a young woman．She has been playing Go for only three years．Before this，the woman was an expert at playing computer games．Now she plays Go the same way she played computer games-by becoming a machine herself．

They will play many games，until they know who the winner is．The woman shows no feelings but thinking about all the possible ways of placing her next stone．The old man，on the other hand，looks at the movements of her hands and of her face．This has always helped him to win．He wins the first three games．She wins the next game，and the man is surprised．He has never lost to a woman．The old man worries about the way the young woman is playing the game．He can't read her face; he does not understand her way of playing．

"The way I think about the game" says the woman，"is that it is steps for getting what I want．" Again，the old man is surprised．For him，the game is a way of life itself，and not a model of life．

"There is no more beauty any longer．Everything is science and rules．Everything is about winning．Nothing is about playing" he says．They cannot agree with each other; hut it is not necessary．
