According to a story, when the first ancient pioneers set out from northern and central China, hoping to live in southern China, they met many difficulties. In the mountains and forests of southern China, they found dangerous animals, snakes and countless insects. A wise and respected old man came up with the idea of a building, hanging on wooden columns (柱子). Then people built these tall buildings, and soon they were safe from the danger of living things below.
These are the first diaojiaolou, dating back more than 10 years. They are widely spread in some southern provinces, but their appearances are different in different places. Although the old stories behind diaojiaolou may not seem true, we can clearly see one of its main benefits: protecting themselves from wild animals.
Most diaojiaolou are square wooden structures (结构) supported by wooden columns. They are usually 8 meters or 12 meters tall. The upper floors are supported by thick wooden columns, which are further strengthened (加强) by stone blocks at the bottom. Even if one column is broken or one stone block is removed, the building will still stand.

Wei Wei, the winner of the second prize of a competition, produced a long painting describing some customs about each term.
“When creating this painting, I realized that 24 solar terms affected people’s lives. For example, in many places, people have the custom of celebrating the beginning of winter. When winter comes, agricultural（农业的）activities end and people wear new clothes to greet each other.

Once you find a dream, what do you do with it Do you ever try to make your dream real
Andrew Matthews, an Australian writer, tells us that making your dreams real is life’s biggest challenge. You may think you’re not very good at some school subjects, or that it’s impossible for you to become a writer. Those kinds of ideas stop you from realizing your dream.
In fact, everyone can realize his dream. The first thing you must do is to remember what your dream is. Don’t let it leave your heart. Keep telling yourself what you want every day and then your dream will come true faster. You should know that a big dream is, in fact, made up of many small dreams.
You must also never give up your dream. There will be difficulties on the road to your dreams. But the biggest difficulty comes from yourself. You need to decide what is the most important. Studying instead of watching TV will help you to get better exam results, while saving five yuan instead of buying an ice cream means you can buy a new book.

When winter comes, agricultural（农业的）activities end and people wear new clothes to greet each other.

On February 9th, 2013, Sarah Darling was walking along the street when she met a homeless man named Billy Ray Harris. She reached into her change purse, emptied out all the coins she had and gave them to the homeless man. Neither of them realized that this small generous act would change their lives.
Sarah didn’t realize that she had given Billy not only all her change but also her diamond ring that she had put in her change purse earlier until the following morning. She and her husband, Bill Krejci, rushed to see if they could find Billy. The homeless man was not only in the same place, he also immediately returned the ring. The grateful couple paid him back for his honesty by emptying out their pockets of all the money they had.
Bill Krejci, a web designer, felt that he needed to do something more for this amazingly honest man. So on February 18, he set up a special page to raise money for him. In just four days, Billy received over $85,000 and there seems to be no end yet.
That is not enough. Billy is living with a person who is generous instead of living in the streets. And that’s not all-thanks to the news report, he got together again with his older brother. Edwin Harris who he had been unable to find for 27 years.
