宁静，思远，志在千里

A woman arrived at
the Gates of Heaven. While she was waiting for Saint Peter to greet her, she
peeked through the Gates. She saw a beautiful banquet table. Sitting all around
were her parents and all the other people she had loved and who had died before
her. They saw her and began calling greetings to her.

一个女人来到了通往天堂的门口，当她正在等候圣彼德约见它的时候，她向门里偷看了一眼。她看见一个漂亮餐桌，

四周围坐着在她之前去世的她的父母和所有她爱的其他人。他们看见了她并开始向她打招呼！

"Hello - How
are you! We’ve been waiting for you! Good to see you.

“你好，你现在怎么样啊！我们都在等着你呢，很高兴看到你。”

When Saint Peter
came by, the woman said to him "This is such a wonderful place! How do I
get in?"

这时圣彼德走了过来，女人对他说：“这里多么和谐啊，我如何才能进去呢”

"You have to
spell a word," Saint Peter told her.

“你必须拼对一个单词”，圣彼德告诉她。

"Which
word?" the woman asked. "Love"

“哪一个”女人问。“爱”The woman
correctly spelled "Love" and Saint Peter welcomed her into Heaven.
About a year later, Saint Peter came to the woman and asked her to watch the
Gates of Heaven for him that day. While the woman was guarding the Gates of
Heaven, her husband arrived.

当她正确的把"Love"拼写出来以后，圣彼德祝贺她进入了天堂。大约一年以后的一天，圣彼德让她替自己看管一下天堂的大门。当她正守卫着天堂的门的时候，她的丈夫来了。 

"I’m
surprised to see you," the woman said. "How have you been?"

“看到你我很吃惊”女人说。“你现在过的怎么样？”

"Oh, I’ve
been doing pretty well since you died," her husband told her. "I
married the beautiful young nurse who took care of you while you were ill. And
then I won the lottery. I sold the little house you and I lived in and bought a
big mansion. And my wife and I traveled all around the world. We were on
vacation and I went water skiing today. I fell and hit my head, and here I am.
How do I get in?"

"哦，自从你死后，我过得很好"丈夫告诉她，“我娶了在你生病时照顾你的护士，之后我还中了彩票，我把你我居住的小房子给卖了，买了一坐豪宅。我和我的妻子环游世界。我们正在度假并且今天我去滑水橇。我摔倒了，摔到了头部，所以我来到这了 ，我怎么才能进去？"

"You have to
spell a word," the woman told him.

"你必须拼对一个单词"女人告诉她。

"Which
word?" her husband asked. "Czechoslovakia."

“哪一个？”丈夫问 ，“捷克斯洛伐克”

这个星期六开始，宝宝幼儿园开始兴趣班活动了。我们给simon选了珠心算和E2英语。都在周六上午，对宝宝来说可能有点累，不过正好训练他的坐功，以后就能很快适应小学生活了。        
早上8:00，我和宝宝一起去幼儿园。原先说好8:15开始上课，不过第一天就有好多小朋友迟到，8:30才开始上课。我
观摩了陆老师的珠心算课。因为是第一节课，老师的教学目标是让小朋友认识算盘，知道如何摆放算盘、如何握盘、如何清盘、如何拨珠和退珠等。教室里有23个
小朋友，老师要让每个小朋友都过关，的确有点累。有的小朋友的注意力不能长时间的集中，喜欢开小差，比如拨弄小算盘之类。还有的小朋友不能完全理解老师的
授课，需要个别辅导。看来这门课需要家长多用心，否则光靠小孩的努力是很难学好的了。
     
9:45分珠心算结束，休息15分钟。10:00—-11:30学英语。这节课老师主要介绍了问候语：Good morning/
afternoon/ evening, 告别语：Good bye, good night。复习字母Aa/ Bb/ Cc 和歌曲good morning。为了不影响个别小朋友的情绪，这堂课我站在教室外面观察。周老师的确很有经验，把教学和游戏有机的结合起来，使得课堂气氛相当轻松活泼，小朋友们玩得也很开心。其中游戏有：听节奏自我介绍，找朋友互相问候，击鼓传花（钢琴停止，卡片在谁手上，谁就要说good morning/ afternoon），表演动作等。发现我们simon上课非常认真，两眼一直盯着老师，但显得不够活泼，上课也不怎么积极发言（虽然知道答案也不肯举手）。课后，周老师奖给每位小朋友一粒小糖和一朵小红花。小朋友们都特别开心。

CHINESE CHEONGSAM (QIPAO)
content by Mr. Du Feibao

The cheongsam is a female dress with distinctive Chinese features and enjoys a growing popularity in the international world of high fashion. The name "cheongsam," meaning simply "long dress," entered the English vocabulary from the dialect of China’s Guangdong Province (Cantonese). In other parts of the country including Beijing, however, it is known as "qipao", which has a history behind it. When the early Manchu rulers came to China proper, they organized certain people, mainly Manchus, into "banners" (qi) and called them "banner people" (qiren), which then became loosely the name of all Manchus. The Manchu women wore normally a one-piece dress which, likewise, came to be called "qipao" or "banner dress." Although the 1911 Revolution toppled the rule of the Qing (Manchu) Dynasty, the female dress survived the political change and, with later improvements, has become the traditional dress for Chinese women. Easy to slip on and comfortable to wear, the cheongsam fits well the female Chinese figure. Its neck is high, collar closed, and its sleeves may be either short, medium or full length, depending on season and taste. The dress is buttoned on the right side, with a loose chest, a fitting waist, and slits up from the sides, all of which combine to set off the beauty of the female shape. The cheongsam is not too complicated to make. Nor does it call for too much material, for there are no accessories like belts, scarves, sashes or frills to go with it. Another beauty of the cheongsam is that, made of different materials and to varying lengths, they can be worn either on casual or formal occasions. In either case, it creates an impression of simple and quiet charm, elegance and neatness. No wonder it is so much liked by women not only of China but of foreign countries as well.

Chinese Dresses (Cheongsam or Qipao)

mini length dress, knee length dress, ankle length dress, children’s dress

In the international world of high fashion, Chinese dresses enjoy a
growing popularity. Chinese dresses are known as the "cheongsam" or
"qipao." Cheongsam is derived from the Cantonese (and Hong Kong) dialect which translates to "long
dress." Qipao is a Mandarin pronunciation which translates to "banner
gown."

The name for Chinese dresses were derived from the late 1800s to early
1900s. When the early Manchu rulers went to China proper, they organized
certain people, mainly Manchus, into "banners" (qi) and called them
"banner people" (qiren), which then became term for all Manchus. The
Manchu women wore a one-piece dress which came to be called "qipao"
or "banner dress." Although the 1911 Revolution toppled the rule of
the Qing (Manchu) Dynasty, the female dress survived the political change and,
with later improvements, has become the traditional dress for Chinese women.

Originally, the cheongsam was a loose fitting, ankle length dress with long sleeves, a
high mandarin collar, and side slits. With the changing times, hemlines rose
and fell, and fabrics reflected the trends at the time. However, with these
changes certain features still remain: Easy to slip on and comfortable to wear,
the cheongsam fits the female Chinese figure elegantly. The dresses neck is
high, the collar is closed, and its sleeves may be either short, medium, or
full length, depending on season and taste. The dress is buttoned on the right
side, with a loose chest, a fitting waist, and slits up from the sides, all of
which combine to enhance the beauty of the female shape. Some modern
adaptations include zippers and snaps taking the place of frogs, and closures
varying from the asymmetrical front flap to the easy zip back.

Today, cheongsams are worn at diverse events as evening wear by the bride
in traditional Chinese weddings, in the entertainment and hospitality
industries, and even raves. The cheongsam and qipao is a classic dress that
continues to inspire new designs from top designers around the world. Made of
different materials and to varying lengths (mini length dress, knee length dress, and ankle length dress), these dresses can be
worn either on casual or formal occasions. At any occasion, it creates an
impression of simple and quiet charm, elegance and neatness. No wonder it is so
much liked by women not only of China
but of foreign countries as well.

Blessed Mother Teresa of Calcutta (August 27, 1910 – September 5, 1997) was an Albanian Catholic nun who founded the Missionaries of Charity. Her work among the poor of Kolkata (Calcutta) made her one of the world’s most famous people, and it is widely expected she will quickly be canonized.
    Teresa was awarded the Templeton Prize in 1973, the Nobel Peace Prize in 1979, and India’s highest civilian award, the Bharat Ratna in 1980. She was made an Honorary Citizen of the United States in 1996 (one of only six). She was beatified by Pope John Paul II in October 2003, hence she may be properly called Blessed Teres by Catholics. She was the first and only person to be featured on an Indian postage stamp while still alive.
    Teresa was also known for her books about Christian spirituality and prayer, some of which were written together with her close friend Frère Roger. While for some, Teresa was the embodiment of a "living saint," others such as Christopher Hitchens,
who believed her to be "a fanatic, a fundamentalist, and a fraud," have
raised questions about her public statements, working practices,
political connections, and funding.
