I have never forgotten the firm belief I had in the arrival through the chimney (煙囪) of the little Santa Claus (圣誕老人), the kind, white-bearded old man who at midnight left in my tiny shoe a present I found the next morning.
Midnight! It’s the perfect hour children don’t know. What great efforts I made not to go to sleep before the little old man appeared!
I had both a great desire and great fear of seeing him, but could never stay awake until then, and the next day my first look was for my shoe. He never failed to carefully wrap (包裝) every present for me. I would run barefoot to get my treasure. It never was a very expensive present, for we were not rich. It was a cookie, an orange, or very simply a fine red apple. But it felt so precious that I barely dared to eat it. What a great role imagination plays in a child’s life!
I do not at all agree with the idea that the lies about Santa Claus should be stopped. Doubts and truth come all too soon on their own. I very well remember the first year, when I was five or six, I doubted that it was not Santa Claus who put the cookie in my shoe. Since then, it has never tasted as good as the first few years of my life.
I noted that my son believed in him longer; boys are more na?ve (天真的) than little girls. Like me, he made great efforts to stay awake until midnight. Like me, he loved the cookie baked in Heaven’s kitchens. And like me, the first year of his doubts was the last year of the visit of the good old man.

Love Tunnel sees lots of love and trash
Bearing a resemblance to the forest－surrounded “Love Tunnel” in Ukraine, the two?kilometer tunnel in Jiangning district Nanjing saw a recent rise in popularity as more than 2,000 tourists paid a visit every day this summer.The high number of visitors caused traffic safety concerns and increased the workload of sanitation workers.The Nanjing government had intended to cut the trees by the end of 2014.After the Nanjing government was forced to draft plans to cut the trees due to public pressure, visitors poured into a railway section that runs through thick forest for sightseeing and to take photos this weekend, leaving the railway with overwhelming piles of trash.
However, in response to the government's plan, complaints and outcries were made by the citizens that the love tunnel should be reserved.They claim that walking along the leafy green tunnel is like entering a fairy tale, and a possible decision to tear down the trees could bring the story to a pitiful end.

How to Say No to Your Boss
Saying “no” to a request can be a difficult thing, especially when the person making the request is your boss.1.The following steps are helpful.
Give yourself some time to think about the request before saying “no”.
If the request arrives via email, don’t reply right away.
2.If your boss asks you in person or on the telephone, request some time to give it thought and tell her you will get back to her by a specific time. Consider the request carefully to determine whether you have to say “no”.
Prepare your answer before telling your boss “no”.
Anticipate questions she might ask in response to your answer, and decide how you want to answer them. Rehearse your conversation with your boss out loud to help build your confidence before the real conversation.
Choose the right time and place to speak with your boss.
Have the conversation in private if your work situation allows you to get a moment alone with your boss. Keep in mind your boss’s workday pressures and work style. If she is a morning person and gets grumpy(脾氣暴躁的)in the afternoon, be sure to speak with her before lunch.
3.
If your boss is asking you to take on more responsibility, that shows that she has faith in your ability to do the job. Acknowledge that it means a lot to you before telling her that you feel you cannot do it.
Tell your boss why you have to say “no” to the request.
4.Your boss will be grateful that you answered honestly, rather than trying to take on a project you cannot handle.
Offer an alternative solution.
For example, if your boss asks you to serve on a committee, suggest someone else in the company that you think may be interested and capable of serving.5.
A. Pay your boss a compliment while denying her request.
B. Even if you try your best to do everything the boss lets you do, there are times when you can’t do and have to say “no”.
C. Put yourself in your boss’s shoes and consider how the company will be affected if you refuse the request.
D. Maybe you could offer to share the workload with someone else.
E. Most employers respect honesty in their employees.
F. Try a compromise.
G. Set the request aside and think about it for a while.
