Maybe you have one neighbor who just looks out of the window, looking angry at everyone and everything that crosses the path. And though you think you know what is going on in his head, sometimes you could be wrong.
I have such a neighbor. First you see this bad-tempered old man looking out of his window, taking in everything that is happening on his block. To be exact, he looks angry over just everything, so most neighbors think he is rude. But his heart is gold. When he saw one woman neighbor shouting angrily at her son after he broke her coffee maker, this ill-tempered old man went and bought her a new one. But he didn't want the mother to know so. Instead, he made it look like he was just throwing it away. And that one secret good deed was just the tip of the iceberg （冰山）. When he saw another neighbor with a crying baby because of the heat, he got a fan, took it to the neighbor's room and made it look like it had been sitting there all the time. He thought he was being strange and no one would know all
the kindness he had shared. But a little girl next door knew this ill-tempered neighbor's secrets. She carefully drew a picture of the old man dressed as Father Christmas and put it on the wall.
So when Christmas came, this little girl had a surprise for the block's secret Father Christmas. This valuable poster is such an important reminder （提不）that the holiday season is about giving out of love, even if no one else knows. How sweet it is!

Giving is one of the main ways of understanding the value of money—but it often gets ignored. When we pay close attention to what we want for Christmas or birthdays and spending lots of money on our loved ones, why not take the time to teach your sons or daughters a little bit about giving back? Here are 4 activities which can help your children know what is the real meaning of “giving".
Donating （捐赠）Online
Because your children have seen all the fun and games from the charity organization Children in Need fundraising, it's the perfect time to show them how easy it is to donate money to charity online and how rewarding this can be. If they have a go Henry card, they can even do this themselves directly using their own money earned from playing the games that develop intelligence （智力）.
Time： Saturday every week
Giving Things to Charity
Giving their extra things to charity can help kids see how much value their things have. Explaining the money from selling their things and helping others can make them feel how lucky they are.
Time： Sunday every week
Volunteering within the Community （社区）
Whether it's clearing rubbish from a park or visiting the elderly, volunteering is certainly the most direct way for your children to understand what we mean when we say “giving". This really helps understand the value of giving some of their time.
Time： Monday every summer vacation
Getting Them to Actively Raise Money for Something
Help them discover something they really care about and get their mind set on how they could raise some money for people in need. Making cakes and selling them at school, selling some of their own things or even washing the neighbors' cars are great ways in which children can make a difference to something they care about.
Time： Tuesday every winter vacation

Last weekend, I, along with some friend, went to climb Mount Tai. Because it was summer, we choose to climb it at night. At the foot of the mountain, we each bought a walk stick. There were many people along the way and we could see the route even without a flashlight. At first, we were exciting and talked to each other. When we had covered half of journey, we felt very tired and sleepless. But seeing the sky becoming brighter and brighter, we told us that we should carry on and hurry up; otherwise we wouldn’t be able to appreciate at the sunrise. We were very tired that we got to the top of the mountain, and the beautiful sunrise made it all worthwhile.
