    Disney has made many cartoon movies. The princesses in the movies are often girls' favorite characters. From Snow White to Moana, every princess leaves a deep impression on people. However, have you noticed that Disney princesses are changing?

    In the early Disney cartoon movies, princesses like Snow White, Cinderella and Aurora from Sleeping Beauty are usually good—looking and kind—hearted. But they have to depend on others to get out of trouble and find happiness. They end up living happily with their princes.

    Now, people still love those princesses, but more and more girls know they have to fight for their own happiness. Disney has noticed the change. So the princesses in its newer movies don't just have good looks.

    Merida from Brave is a good example. She was born as a princess and she likes going on adventures. She spends her days practising archery(射箭术), riding her horse and experiencing the world around her. She loves her family, but she wants to take control of her own life.

    Some time ago, Disney even put up their“10 new rules for being a modern princess". The rules include: Care for others; Live healthily; don't judge(判断) a book by its cover; Be honest; Be a friend you can trust; Believe in yourself; Right wrongs; Try your best; Be loyal(忠诚)and Never give up.

    None of the rules are about the looks of a princess. Anyway, one's inner beauty is more important. Don't you think so?

    Fu Lei's Family Letters is a book of letters written by Chinese translator and writer Fu Lei to his elder son Fu Cong. Between 1954 and 1966, Fu Cong spent a lot of time away from home to train as a piano player. As a result, writing letters became Fu Lei's usual way of communicating with his elder son. Fu Min, Fu Lei's younger son edited(编辑) the letters and the book was published in 1981.

The purpose of education of a person, as shown in Fu Lei's Family Letters, is to make that person useful to society. In his letter on 26 January 1955. Fu Lei praised his son Fu Cong after winning a piano competition. Fu Lei wrote, "We are happy because you make your country proud. We are even happier because you bring joy to people through music! I am so excited when I think about your future. You will progress endlessly and serve more people, encourage them and heal them.

    In his family letters, Fu Lei also advised his son to read famous Chinese texts. When reading these books, he told Fu Cong to fully understand their meanings and connect ideas with feelings, for that would help him become a better person. To Fu Lei, learning to be a good person comes before any academic(学术的) training. On 27 December 1954, Fu Lei wrote, "Everyone should be a good person before becoming an expert in any area Otherwise that person will not achieve much, no matter how knowledgeable he or she is."

    Fu Lei's Family Letters has great influence on people in China. The book has been sold more than one million copies in China and has been translated into Japanese and Korean. It helps many young students understand how they should live their lives.

    David was bankrupt(破产). He was trying to figure out how to make some money. "Maybe my insurance policy(保险单) can save me," he thought. So he made a plan.

    On a Saturday evening, as it got dark outside, he put on a pair of dirty boots and walked through his house. He left many dirty footprints. He went back the way he came while wearing socks. He cut the boots into pieces and flushed (冲走) them down the toilet.

    At 11 p.m., he took a pistol (手枪) from his bedside table and went down his hallway without shoes. He fired three shots down the hallway. Then he walked to the other end of the hallway and fired two shots in the opposite direction.

    His neighbors soon called the police. Three police officers came to David's house just minutes later.

    "I can't really tell you much. I was woken by a noise on the ground floor of my home. I took my pistol and went downstairs. Halfway down the stairs, I saw a shadow of a man. I shouted 'Stop or I'll shoot.'"

    "He shot at me three times and I shot back twice. The shadow disappeared into the kitchen. More than 15,000 pounds in cash have been stolen from my safe(保险柜)," David said.

    After collecting the footprints and bullies (子弹) in the wall, the officers left. The next day, the police called, "Please get dressed, David. We have to bring you to the police station and ask you about the lies you told us yesterday."

    Do you know how the police knew David was lying?
