A
There is nothing like travel when it comes to gaining perspectives and exposing yourself to
other cultures. Here is a list of books that transport readers to another time and place.
ITALY: Beautiful Ruins by Jess Walter
This book is written by the popular author Jess Walter. It is a love story that begins on the
Italian Coast in the early 60s and eventually appears on the screen in Hollywood. As the settings
shift from Italy to Edinburgh to Los Angeles, you will find yourself longing to go as well.
SEATTLE: Where’d You Go, Bernadette by Maria Semple
Maria Semple’s first novel is not exactly a love story to Seattle, but if you read it, you just
might want to come here to see if people are really as self-involved as the characters in her book.
What really shines through is the strange storytelling and the laugh.
ENGLAND: Wolf Hall by Hilary Mantel
You can’t travel to Thomas Cromwell’s England without a time machine, but reading
Mantel’s prize-winning novel is the next best thing. It will make you long to see the ancient
buildings and green grass of the English countryside, much of which is still there.
NANTUCKER: Here’s to Us Elin Hildebrand
Elin Hilderbrand has built a writing career about her hometown island of Nantucker. Her
latest is Here’s to Us, which, perhaps not surprisingly, is a great beach read that will spice up your
vacation. You won’t be able to put the page down and desire to get there.

We spend hours, days and years of our lives in school. Imagine you could design your dream
school, what would it be like? What would you be doing? We wanted to find out what teenagers
around the world thought. Here is what they said:
Richard from the USA: My dream school would have a big swimming pool and two soccer
fields. It would also have a cinema, a gym and a shopping centre. My school has none of these,
and I think there should be more pleasant things for students to do while they are studying.
Sonia from Italy: I’d like a room where we can relax and play computer games. I’d also like
to have a music room. I think there should be a place for everyone to go and relax after class.
Wu from Beijing: I think it would be great to have another day off every week, besides the
weekend. If that day was a Friday or a Monday, we would have a long weekend every week. What
fun! I also think school should start later, at about 10 o'clock, and finish earlier.
Hannah from Australia: In my dream school, I think the teachers should give us more
freedom and choice about how we study and what we study. I also think it’s not necessary for us to
wear school uniforms every day. I really don’t like wearing it.

Tess was eight years old. Her little brother Andrew was very sick and their parents were
completely out of money. She heard Daddy say to her tearful Mother, "Only a miracle can save
him now."
Tess took her money and made her way six blocks to Rexall's Drug Store.
"And what do you want?" the chemist asked in an annoyed tone of voice. "I'm talking to my
brother from Chicago whom I haven't seen for ages."
"Well, I want to talk to you about my brother," Tess answered back in the same annoyed tone.
"He's really sick. He has something bad growing inside his head and my Daddy says only a
miracle can save him now. So how much does a miracle cost?"
"We don't sell miracles here, little girl. I'm sorry but I can't help you," the chemist said,
softening a little.
"Listen, I can help you." The chemist's brother was a well-dressed man. He asked Tess, "What
kind of miracle does your brother need?"
"I don't know," Tess replied. "Mommy says he needs an operation. But my Daddy can't pay for
it, so I want to use my money."
"How much do you have?" asked the man from Chicago. "One dollar and eleven cents," Tess
answered. "And it's all the money I have, but I can get some more, if I need to."
"Well

what a coincidence (巧合)," smiled the man. "A dollar and eleven cents －the exact
price of a miracle for your little brother. Take me to where you live. Let's see if 1 have the kind of
miracle you need."

a surgeon in neurosurgery (神经外科). The operation
was completed without charge and it wasn't long until Andrew was home again and doing well．

the faith of a little child.
