Papa’s jaw dropped when Mama told him that Sister had cheated on her final exams—not to succeed but to fail. “It’s unbelievable!” he said. “Sister has always been so proud of her good grades!”
“Yes, she has,” said Mama. “But it’s not unbelievable. It just shows how badly she wanted off the swimming team.”
“She never said anything about that to me.” said Papa.
“Of course she didn’t,” said Mama. “She was afraid you’d blow your top. You already had her getting a swimming scholarship to college and winning gold medals at the Olympics. Can you imagine how much pressure she must have felt?”
“Oh, my gosh!” Papa said, “I’ve been so stupid! I just thought she’d want to be a champion swimmer because she’s so good at it.”
“It’s like anything else, dear,” said Mama, “No matter how good at it you are, if it stops being fun, you won’t want to do it anymore.”
“She must be really mad at me,” he mumbled (嘟哝). “Maybe I should say sorry to her.”
Sister’s footsteps could be heard on the stairs. She came into the kitchen and looked hopefully up at her parents.
“Honey,” said Mama with a smile, “Your papa and I have decided that there’s no reason for you to be on the swimming team if you don’t want to.”
Sister’s face lit up like a Christmas tree. She ran to Papa and jumped into his arms, giving him a big hug. “I’m going to play cards with Lizzy!” she said. “See you later!”

23、 For displaced people, arriving in Greece marks an important milestone in their journey to a better life. In camps run by the Greek government, they receive critical aid including housing, food, and medical treatment. And now, thanks to Love Welcomes, they are receiving a more secure future.
When British Abi Hewitt visited a refugee (难民)camp near Athens, the experience deeply impacted her. Hewitt, who had previously managed a life skills program for at-risk women called Thistle Farms, reached out to her former boss, Becca Stevens on the Love Welcomes site. Stevens expressed interest in the idea of a creative social enterprise to help these displaced women. Another colleague from Thistle Farms, Frannie Kieschnick, quickly joined the team. The three co-founded Love Welcomes in 2017 with the women of the camp.
The initiative(首创)teaches female residents of the camp how to weave. They learn to transform recycled material into beautiful one-of-a-kind handicrafts, including welcome mats, sofa cushions and key chains. The skills the women learn in the program are just as important as the funds they earn from the sale of their handicrafts.
“When we sell products, the profit from that goes back to the women,” Hewitt explained. "We are now employing 42 women by the end of this week. It makes a great difference to every single woman, to their family and to everyone living in this camp. I am very proud of that. "
A program participant named Laure shared her story on the video, “I can say in the beginning when I entered Greece, I was like, what can I do with my life?" Laure struggled to stay optimistic, explaining, "But when I heard about Love Welcomes and started looming, all of these thoughts suddenly melted," she said. Learning the skill helped Laure maintain a positive attitude. As the initiative has grown in popularity, it has attracted attention from well-known artists.

24、Why do people travel? There are many reasons one can think of when asked questions like this.
To travel far enough to meet yourself
Sometimes you find yourself in the middle of nowhere. 【1】 You find out your abilities. When you are offered a different lifestyle, you can find out what you are made of. The farther you go from your home, the nearer you come to your true self.
【2】
If you look back at all the amazing memories of your life, you will realize that most of them were out of your comfort zone. Travelling is dangerous, full of life threatening possibilities and will not always be comfortable, but at the same time, it gives irreplaceable memories.
To slow down and relax
A wise man once said that never get so busy making a living that you forget to make a life. Money is worth nothing if you cannot spend it on a little adventure. While we are deeply involved in making money, we forget that time is going through our fingers. 【3】 The feeling of being away from your workplace is pure happiness. The feeling of not having to worry about the never ending piles of files is pure joy. 【4】
To celebrate life
Life is short and the world is wide. One day you might wake up and realize that you don’t have time to do everything that you have always wanted to do, anymore. Once in a while, make time to appreciate the fact that you are alive, young, free and healthy. 【5】
A.To become a storyteller.
B.Travelling lets you discover yourself.
C.To break through your comfort zone.
D.So, go travelling to celebrate life itself.
E.You can relate to the world and connect to others.
F.And the feeling of being away from your boss for a few days is pure pleasure.
G.Escape life for a little while because experience is far more valuable than money.
