Learn about life in the palace
Have you ever visited the Forbidden City? This year is its 600th birthday. It is the world’s largest palace and
has over 17 million visitors every year. But if we traveled back to the past, we probably wouldn’t be allowed
inside.In the past, all buildings in Beijing were low except for the Forbidden City. From outside, ordinary people
could only imagine what it looked like inside.
The Forbidden City takes up 720,000 square meters in the heart of Beijing. It was built from 1406 to 1420 by

were born, lived, fought and died there. It saw the highs and lows of the Ming and Qing dynasties, as well as the
end of feudal autocratic monarchy in China.
The cultural relics and documents in the palace show how the royal families lived. They are still used today
for historical research, as well as inspiration for literature and entertainment.
In 1987, the Forbidden City was recognized as a UNESCO World Heritage site. For world leaders who visit
China, it has become a must-see. In 2017, when US President Donald Trump paid a state visit to China, President

I have experienced many acts of kindness in my life. But the one that stands out the most was the one that
happened at the blacksmith (铁匠) shop in Sturbridge, Massachusetts.
I visited the village that day with my autistic (患自闭症的) son. He had no idea what danger meant and
needed me to watch his every move to stop him from running away or heading into a crowded street. He also
loved making friends and thinking that everyone was his friend.
Although he looked much older than he really was, he acted much younger, which made it even harder for
other people to accept him. People’s look of pity (怜悯) broke my heart. I had started to be scared of taking him
out to crowded places. That day, at the village, I had walked around taking my son’s hand, ready to keep him from
being hurt by anyone. For some reason, my son wanted to visit the blacksmith building. With great worry, I took
him there. As soon as we walked into the shop, he pulled (抽出) his hand out of mine, ran over to the blacksmith,
put his arms around the man’s legs, and asked if he would be his friend.
My heart stopped at that moment. I expected that he, like almost everyone else that we had met, would ask
him to go away. However, the blacksmith looked him in the eye, and then reached out his hand for my son to
shake. He said that he would be glad to be the friend of such a fine young man.
The blacksmith spent the next hour letting my son “help” him. I was surprised at the way that man was
always patient (有耐心的), answering my son’s questions and also keeping him safe although he was always
moving. The blacksmith not only gave my son a dream-come-true experience, but gifted my son with things more
meaningful: Kindness. Acceptance. I will always be grateful to that blacksmith.

On a bright March afternoon, some travelers moved through the snow along Bearskin Lake. There were three
dads and four teens. The teens, 14 to 16 years old, chatted and laughed. They each were pulling a sled(雪橇)
which was full of winter camping gear(用具). Their dads—Bob Feyen, Jesse Schomberg and Kevin Skwira-
Brown—also pulled gear.
Even when they were young, the children did their share. “The rules, from the beginning, were that everyone
has to pull a sled.” Kevin Skwira-Brown said. “We want them to grow up strong.” In the early years, the children
pulled small sleds with just sleeping bags. Now, they pull full-size sleds.
For 10 years now, these dads and sons/daughters have been making this journey each winter. “Bob, Kevin
and I had done this one winter with our children.” Schomberg said. “The kids thought it was great fun, so we
made it a tradition(传统).”
On this 32-degree March afternoon, the group was going to Daniels Lake. They would camp there for three
days. They all stayed in Schomberg’s tent.Hannah Feyen told a story about a trip when she was young. “We were walking across a stream one time, and
I lost a boot in it. I shouted to dad for help. He just shouted back ‘You can do it!’ and I did.” laughed Hannah.
Bob Feyen said they were taking their children to this trip every March. They would keep on the tradition
until the teens moved away for college.
35.How many times has the winter trip been held?
36.Why did the dads want to have the trip with their children?
37.If you have a task, would you like to complete it by yourself or with others’ help? Why?
