But it is not as fun as she thought.Lin Man-Chiu, an author from Taiwan, wrote the book. British translator Helen Wang translated it into English. The book tells a touching story about Liur and her father.Liur loses her mother at a young age. Her grandfather sends her father to study medicine in the US. Five years later, he comes back with a doll named Carola, as he had promised he would.

My 11-year-old daughter was going to help her older brother make a little cushion（垫子）. I left and in a few hours returned to find a mess in the kitchen and front room while both children were sitting in front of the television. Having had a long day, I was very short with my greeting to them. But then I noticed the material they had used for the cushion. I had bought it to make a blanket. Not stopping to listen to them, I shouted at the children and explained how angry I was at what they had done.My daughter listened to me sheepishly, not trying to say anything to herself at all, but the pain could be seen written across her face. She went to her room quietly and spent some time alone before she came out to say good night and once again apologized for the mistake she had made. A few hours later, as I was preparing to go to bed, there on my bed lay a beautiful little cushion, with the words “I LOVE MUM”. Next to it was a note apologizing again.To this day, I still get tears in my eyes when I think of how I reacted and still feel the pain of my actions. It was I who then sheepishly went to her and apologized for my actions.

There were catwalk shows and traditional music concerts held by people wearing traditional Chinese clothing, or huafu. Huafu fans from across the country got together there to take pictures and post them online for a huafu photo competition, which will last for a month. People were doing these to celebrate a new national holiday the first China Huafu Day. It wants to encourage young Chinese to be proud of traditional clothing, as well as classic Chinese culture.The government chose the third day of the third month of the Chinese lunar calendar(农历) as China Huafu Day. This day is said to be the birthday of the. Yellow Emperor. This year, the China Huafu Day fell on April 18.Huafu includes the traditional clothing of all ethnic (民族的) groups in China. Among them, hanfu, the traditional clothing of the Han ethnic group, has the most fans in recent years. Hanfu is the traditional clothing of the Han people who lived in China before the Qing Dynasty. It has been around for about 3,000 years and changed greatly across different dynasties. It is hard to count the number of people who wear hanfu today. But hanfu clubs may be found almost in every university and city. Many young people wear hanfu to look like characters from comics and games. This really brings us back to the ancient fashion.China is becoming a leading power in the world, and the Chinese feel more confident about its traditional culture, Chen Chuyu, leader of a Beijing-based hanfu institution (学院), told Peoples Daily Online. Wearing traditional clothing might be an interesting way of showing how they feel about this.（1）People celebrate China Huafu Day mainly to _.

No room! they cried out when they saw Alice coming. Theres plenty of room! said Alice angrily, and she sat down in a large armchair at one end of the table. Have some wine, the March Hare said in an encouraging tone. Alice looked all round the table, but there was nothing on it but tea. I dont see any wine, she said. There isnt any, said the March Hare. Then it was impolite of you not to offer it, said Alice angrily. It wasnt very civil of you to take your seat without invitation, said the March Hare. I didnt know it was your table, said Alice; its laid for a great many more than three.Your hair wants cutting, said the Hatter. He had been watching Alice for some time. You should learn not to give your personal ideas, Alice said seriously; its very rude.The Hatter opened his eyes very wide on hearing this; but all he said was, Why is a raven(乌鸦) like a writing-desk?Come, we shall have some fun now! said Alice. Im glad theyve begun asking riddles(谜语). I believe I can guess that, she said loudly. Do you mean that you think you can find out the answer to it? said the March Hare. Exactly so, said Alice.
