A few years ago, I had a wonderful Christmas experience that finally changed how I celebrate the festival. Now I've decided to 1 it with all of you. Before that Christmas, I was running around like a crazy person to get 2 ready. One day I took my three little kids to Walmart to buy the last things for them the next day. I was 3 and kept thinking to myself, "What is the true 4 of Christmas?"

  When I finished 5 and was walking towards the exit, I noticed an old man sitting on the bench with an envelope in his hand. He handed something to a(n) 6, well-dressed man and said, "Merry Christmas!" It was a $20 bill. The young man got a(n) 7 and asked, "Are you serious?" "Yes, Merry Christmas," he replied. So the young man got the money and left 8. "What's he doing?" I was more puzzled 9 I saw him giving more bills to some other shoppers. Just then, he 10 and walked over to me. Then he pulled a $50 bill 11 his envelop and handed it to me, saying "Merry Christmas!"

  My face turned red and said, "Sir, I don't need 12 dollars." "Well, then," he smiled and said, "Find someone who does, Merry Christmas." And he left smiling. What a 13 man he was and how many people he helped out that day! All of a sudden, for the 14 time I felt the real Christmas spirit. And I decided I'd spread his spirit and find someone who 15 that $50. From then on, I was used to teaching my kids about love and kindness and letting them feel the spirit the Christmas season can bring. Merry Christmas, everyone!

Here are some questions and answers on Yangzhou, an old and cultural city in Jangsu Province from a website.

Questions & Answers

Q

Asked by Robert from USA| Feb. 25, 2019 11:21

We'd like to visit the city of Yangzhou from Shanghai. Is there any high speed train?

A

Answered by Black from UK| Feb. 26, 2019 20:29

Sorry but no high speed train. You can take an intercity bus from Shanghai General Bus Station to the city. It takes about 4h and CNY 93.

Q

Asked by Mr. Cheverton from Australia| Jul.17, 2018 20:27

I have holidays in late December and will be in Hong Kong, and want to visit Yangzhou. Are river cruises still operating?

A

Answered by Ms. Chen from China| Jul. 18, 2018 04:24

I don't think it is a good idea to visit the city in winter, which is famous for natural scenery. The best time should be spring and summer. And, the weather may be somewhat cold during December which isn't good for cruise.

Q

Asked by Eric Yeo from Singapore| May 15, 2018 02:53

Can I know where I can eat the nicest Yangzhou Fried Rice along Dongguan Street Area?

A

Answered by Jennie from China| May 16, 2018 04:48

There are many restaurants along the street serving the fried rice and they are all OK. If having to name one, I'd say Shiweitian. Actually, you just choose one with more guests and it won't be wrong.

Q

Asked by Roy from USA| Mar. 12, 2018 12:27

Is it possible to live in Yangzhou and commute daily by bus to work in Yizheng?

A

Answered by Tina from China| Mar. 12, 2018 21:56

Yeah, it's possible. The distance between is only around 30km. At the West Bus Station, many buses are scheduled for Yizheng every day from 06:20 to 18:55. Besides, intercity bus No.77 runs between the West Bus Station and Yizheng Bus Station from 05:50 to 18:30. You can choose the way you like.

Before you read this story, let's take a look at a sentence in Chinese, "研表究明,汉字序顺并不定一影阅响读。" Did you notice that some of the characters in this sentence are in the wrong order? You might not realize it, but your brain can read and understand most sentences, even when the words are in the wrong order.

This may have something to do with psychology, according to Chen Qingrong from Nanjing Normal University.

When we're first learning how to read, we read word by word. But after we become more experienced, we read in full phrases and even sentences. People can read five to six words at one time, Chen told the Yangtse Evening Post. Also, as experienced readers, we take the things we're familiar with for granted. We don't pay much attention to small details, such as word order.

Therefore, when we read the sentence at the beginning of this article, the content was familiar to us. So we read it the way we think it should be in our memory, with all the words in the right order. This is like when we see a person with long hair, we assume (认为) the person is a girl without taking a closer look according to Chen.

This can be also seen in many other languages, such as English. Read the following sentence, "This is bcuseae the huamn mnid deos not raed ervey lteter by istlef, but the word as a wlohe."

It is believed that humans remember the meanings of words mostly by their shape and layout, rather than the order of the letters, Matt Davis of Cambridge University told the Independent.

However, we cannot read scrambled (乱序的) sentences as quickly and efficiently as we read the normal text, according to Daily Telegraph.

"BANG!" the door caused a reverberation (回声). It was just standing there, with Father standing on one side, and I on the other side.

We were both in great anger. "Jack! Never set foot in this house again!" shouted Father. With tears in my eyes, I rushed out of the flat and ran along the street.

The street lights were shining, causing my feeling of sadness. I walked about, knowing nowhere to go.

A young father who held a child in his arm walked past me. I felt as if I saw my childhood from another space: happy and carefree (与忧无虑).

But now…I don't know whether it is because I have grown up or because Dad is getting old. We are just like two persons coming from two different worlds. It feels like there is an iron door between us that can never be opened. I walked in the streets. My heart was frozen on this hot summer night. I walked on. There were fewer and fewer people on the streets. When I finally reached the apartment block in which I lived, I saw that light was still on.

I thought to myself, "Is father waiting for me or is he still angry with me?"

In fact, it was nothing. Perhaps, Dad was throwing away some of his old stamps. Perhaps he thought they were useless. I never had the courage to tell him that I liked collecting stamps.

All the lights were off except Father's.

Dad was always like this. Maybe he didn't know how to express himself. After shouting at me, he never showed any moments of regret. However,after an argument he has the habit of tucking me in while I am sleeping.He has been a leader for so long that telling everyone else what to do has become his second nature.

The light was still on. "Am I wrong?" With the key in hand, I was as nervous as I had ever been. At last, I decided to open the door. As soon as I opened the door, tears ran down my cheeks. I suddenly realized that iron door that I have imagined between us did not exist at all. Love-it is second to none.
