What could a poem writer and a movie director share more than you think! Langston Hughes began writing poems in high school and soon became one of America’s greatest writers. Most of his writing is about his experiences as an African American. He wrote poems about people who worked hard through life but still found things to be happy about. He wrote plays and books about justice(正义) for all people, and he wrote kids’ books, too. The Sweet and Sour Animal Book is a book of his animal poems. Pictures and photos were used in the book. “Hold fast to dreams” is a line in a famous Hughes poem. That’s exactly what he did throughout his life. When Steven Spielberg was in middle school, he wanted to make a film. He had an idea for a movie, but no money. He started a tree-planting business and made his film with the money he earned. Spielberg never stopped making films, even after many film schools refused him. Today he is one of the most popular and important filmmakers in the world. His movies are about people who are adventurous(爱冒险的), brave, kind. His characters often fight for what is good. Some of his films are about his Jewish background, such as Schindler’s List.

Once upon a time, a boy was walking through a wood and he thought he could hear a sad cry. Following the sound he came to a big, round, mysterious, grey fountain. The sad sound seemed to be coming from the fountain pool. The boy swept aside the pool’s dirty surface water and saw a group of grey fish swimming in a slow circle through the pond.
Amused by this, the boy tried to catch one of these incredible talking fish. But when he stuck his arm into the water it turned grey right up to the elbow. As this happened, a huge sadness entered into him, and he suddenly understood how sad the fish were feeling.
He quickly pulled his arm out of the water, and ran from that place. But the arm stayed grey, and the boy continued feeling sad. He tried so many times to cheer himself up, but nothing worked. That was, until he realized that if he were to make the Earth happy then that happiness would be, in turn, transmitted back to him, through the earth on his arm.
From then on, he set about looking after countryside. He cared for the plants, and he did what he could to keep the water from being polluted. He encouraged others to do the same. He was so successful that his arm started to recover its normal color. When the grey had disappeared completely, he started feeling happy again, and he decided to go and visit the fountain. When he was still some way from the fountain he could hear the fish singing happily.

The moon is at its brightest on the 15th day of the eighth month of the lunar calendar(阴历). On this day, people celebrate the Mid-Autumn Festival. It has been enjoying great popularity all over China.
In ancient China, that day was a harvest(收获) festival because crops(庄稼) were harvested during that period. It was a time for relaxation and celebration.
Just like Thanksgiving Day in Western countries, families also try to get together for the Mid-Autumn Festival in China. Usually, no matter how far away or how busy they are, people will try to return home for the celebration.
The Mid-Autumn Festival has its own special food just as other traditional Chinese holidays. People eat mooncakes with fillings such as sugar and eggs. The round shape of the mooncake makes it look like the full moon. The full moon and mooncakes stand for the family reunion(团聚).
With the beautiful moon up in the sky, people sit together, enjoy the full moon, eat mooncakes and fruits, share the stories, and express the best wishes for the family members and friends who live afar.
