As he looked down at the beach, he saw a human figuremoving like a dancer. He smiled to himself at the thought that someone woulddance on the beach. So he began to walk faster to catch up. As he got closer, he saw that it was a young man and the young man wasn’t dancing, but instead he wasreaching down to the shore, picking up something and throwing itinto the ocean. As he got closer, he called out, “Good morning! What are youdoing?’’
The young man paused, looked up and replied, “Throwingstarfishes(海星)in theocean.”
“I guess I should have asked, why are you throwing starfishes in the ocean?”
“The sun is up and the tide is going out. And if I don’t throw them in, they’ll die”
“But, young man, don’t you realize thatthere are miles and miles of beach and starfishes all along it. You can’tpossibly make a difference!”
The young man listened politely. Then he bent down, picked another starfish and threw it into the sea, and said, “It made a difference for that one.” There is something very special in each and every one of us. We have all beengifted with the ability to make a difference. And if we can know that gift, we will gain through the strength of our vision the power(力量) to shape the future.

23、It's school time again! You're probably feeling excited and maybe a little sad that summer vacation is over.
Some kids feel nervous or a little scared on the first day of school because of all the new things: new teachers, new friends, and even a new school. Luckily, these “new” worries only stick around for a little while. Let’s find out more about going to a new school.
Most teachers kick off the new school year by introducing themselves and talking about all the things you’ll be doing that year. Some teachers give students chance to tell something about themselves to the rest of the class.
When teachers do the talking on the first day, they often go over the classroom rules and school rules so you will know what’s allowed and what’s not. Please pay close attention.
You might already know a lot of people in your class on the first day, but it's a great day to make a new friend, so try to say hello to kids you know and new ones that you don't. Make the first move and you will be glad about what you did, and so will your new friends!
Seeing friends you haven't seen in a while can make the first day a good one. You can make the day special by wearing clothes that you really like. Maybe you got a great T-shirt on one of your vacations or a pair of sneakers. It can also make you feel good to be prepared and have all the things you need, such as pencils, folders,and whatever else you need. But make sure that you pack them the night before in case you don’t have time in the morning.

24、Hello London Foodies!
I’m kicking off this week’s blog by talking about a fantastic new Turkish restaurant in Soho called Moda. I can’t remember ever eating better dolma or hummus — it was so delicious! The chef insists that fruit and vegetables are brought over every day from Turkey — and from nowhere else. He may be a perfectionist, but it was so delicious that I can’t complain. Moda isn’t cheap, but it’s worth every penny.
And I’ve got great news for you. When I told him that I write a food blog, he said he’d give all my readers a 10% discount! Just mention this blog when you book.
A very different restaurant, where I had lunch last Monday, is Chez Fitz. Situated near Leicester Square, its main selling point is that its food is all locally sourced (within 30 kilometers of the restaurant). My friends and I were completely surprised — we had no idea that so much could be grown so close to central London. But it turns out that there are pockets of green all over the city — you just need to know where to look.
One final point: I couldn’t believe how pricey my weekly shop was this week. Normally its about £40, but this week it was more than £55 for more or less the same amount of food. Any ideas why?
More in a couple of weeks as I’m going away on my holiday tomorrow.
COMMENTS
Ecovore
I am not sure if we should be supporting restaurants like Moda. They are very bad for the environment. What about all the extra carbon emissions from the “food miles” created by bringing over those ingredients from Turkey?
LondonMum
I know what you’re saying, Ecovor, but don’t have a go at restaurants like Moda. If we grow foreign vegetables in the U.K., then we have to use heated greenhouses and that probably uses even more energy.
【1】What is a main selling point of Moda?
A.It offers a good discount.
B.It sits in central London.
C.The ingredients are imported.
D.The chef is a perfectionist.
【2】What’s Ecovore’s attitude toward restaurants like Moda?
A.He is not concerned with them.
B.He supports them.
C.He is not for them.
D.He has hopes for them.
【3】What would LondonMum agree with?
A.Foreign restaurants are worth a try.
B.Eating out worsens the environment.
C.Moda should use vegetables in London.
D.It’s unwise to grow foreign food in the U.K.
