Think about the different ways that people use the wind. You can use it to fly a kite or to sail a boat. Wind is one of our cleanest and richest power sources, as well as one of the oldest. Something shows that windmills(风车) began to be used in ancient Iran back in the seventh century BC. They were first introduced to Europe during the 1100s, when armies returned from the Middle East with knowledge of using wind power.
For many centuries, people used windmills to make wheat into flour(面粉) or get water from deep underground. When electricity was discovered in the late 1800s, people living in faraway areas began to use them to produce electricity. This allowed them to have electric lights and radio. However, by the 1940s when electricity was available to people in almost all areas of the United States, windmills were hardly used.
During the 1970s, people started becoming more cared about the pollution that is created when coal and gas are burned to produce electricity. People also realized that the supply of coal and gas would run out one day. Then, wind was rediscovered, though it means higher costs. Today, there is a global movement to supply more and more of our electricity through the use of wind

After the Spring Festival, I found some of my mom’s daily habits have changed.
Her cooking way was different. Vegetables that had been cooked crisply became very tender and soft. Fish that had been fried became soup. Her old shredded (切成细条的) potato turned into diced potato… Feeling strange, dad and I asked Mom the reason for the change. But all she said was, “Just trying a different taste”. Then she was silent.
But it wasn’t just her cooking way. Mom also change other habits. After dinner, instead of watching films on TV as usual, she would put on her newly-bought sports clothes and asked Dad to go out for a walk. After they came back home, mom would lose herself in magazines or newspapers about healthcare. Mom almost never gets sick. Why was she suddenly interested in medicine?
I couldn’t understand her “abnormal” behavior. Then one day I came across her micro blog(博客). “While visiting my parents during the Spring Festival, I suddenly realized that they are in their 70s now,” my mom had written. “They move slowly and it is hard for them to do the housework. I should visit them more often…
“Some cooking should be changed to keep them healthy. They like fish soup, diced potato, tender and soft vegetables…
“I must also keep fit by doing physical exercise. If my parents are too weak to move around, I can be strong enough to take care of them. When I am old, my son can also pay less attention to taking care of me…”
When I read this, I felt very sorry. I used to complain that Mom didn’t understand me and couldn’t give me everything I wanted. I always thought there was a wide gap(沟) between us. But now I completely understand her. How great she is! She always thinks of others before herself. Everything she does is to help the people she loves live better lives. How unselfish her love is!
