Ma Shwe was as near to the far bank as she could get, holding her whole body against the rushing water and keeping the calf pressed against her huge body. Every now and then the rushing water would sweep the calf away.There was a sudden rise in the water and the calf was washed clean over the mothers body and was gone. Ma Shwe turned quickly to reach it and pressed the calf with her head and trunk象鼻against the rocky bank. Then with a huge effort, she picked it up in her trunk and tried until she was able to place it on a narrow shelf of rock.Just at this moment she fell back into the river. If she were carried down, it would be certain death. I knew as well as she did, that there was one spot where she could get up the bank, but it was on the other side from where she had put her calf.While I was wondering what I could do next I heard the sound of a mothers love.

While often the case-we see beautifully written and illustrated books all the time-but how often do they come from a 10-year-old?

One of the girls, Kiki Shaver, was sad to live in a small home with her aunt and uncle. She had no friend and didnt know how to make them. When four girls invites her into the circle of their friendship, its no wonder that Kiki is hesitant and uneasy. The story continues as the four girls invite and accept a “ not so likeable girl into their circle to win a fashion show. The girls feel a strong bond of friendship after the show. Kiki then understands that taking a step towards friendship is better than being alone. All the girls learn that by having the courage to include others, you can “ sew a friendship.Today, it seems that almost every news headline begins with a childs suicide-or murder-because of being bullied(欺侮)，not having friends or family to discuss issues with and feelings of low self respect.

The break combined both the National Day holiday and the Mid-Autumn Festival, traditionally a time for family reunions.On Sept 30 when Rangrang left Beijing for home in neighboring Hebei province, 24 expressways witnessed traffic jam in 16 provinces. This was the first time China had to deal with such heavy traffic on its expressways. To ease the traffic jams, authorities stopped collecting electric tickets at toll gates(收费站) from October 4, which was proved quite effective, but the traffic accidents still killed a total of 794 fresh lives during the eight days.Some people blamed country's new policy that made most expressways toll free for passenger cars under seven seats during the 8-day holiday. The toll free policy will exempt(免除) the public of around 20 billion yuan ($3.15 billion) during the "Golden Week", said Peng Zhizhong, professor in Logistics Management, Shandong University.Along with Rangrang, thousands of passengers told of their "unfortunate" stories online. “Xiaoaieluosi said in his Sina Microblog account that the toll free policy lit up the public desire for tourism. He also said that the toll exemption was generally beneficial, but limited vacation choices caused traffic pressures.Chinese people enjoy week-long vacations mainly on traditional holidays, including the Spring Festival and National Day holiday. Heavy traffic resulted from a lack of a vacation-with-pay system(带薪休假制度), said Wang Degang, professor in Tourism Management with Shandong University. "They have no choice," said Wang.The government should decentralize(分散) concentrated holidays to meet the desire for tourism, said Lou Jiajun, professor in tourism with East China Normal University.
