17、ar-old man was sitting on the sofa in his house along with his 45-year-old highly educated son. Suddenly a crow（乌鸦）perched on the tree near their window. The father asked his son, “What is this? ” The son replied, “It is a crow.” After a few minutes, the father asked his son the 2nd time, “What is t

18、his?” The son said, “Father, I have just now told you Its a crow.” After a little while, the old father again asked his son the 3rd time, “What is this? ” “Its a crow, a crow, a crow.” said the son loudly. A little after, the father again asked his son the 4th time, “What is this?” This time the son

19、 shouted at his father, “Why do you keep asking me the same question again and again? IT IS A CROW. Are you not able to understand this?” A little later the father went to his room and came back with an old diary, which he had kept since his son was born. On opening a page, he asked his son to read

20、that page. When the son read it, the following words were written in the diary: “Today my little son aged three was sitting with me on the sofa when a crow was sitting on the window. My son asked me 23 times what it was, and I replied to him all 23 times that it was a crow. I hugged him lovingly eac

DFathers love.CIn recent years, China has witnessed the growth of luxury (奢侈品) brands. In this market, Chinese consumers are now the largest spenders. Its clear that a new generati

24、on of young, materialistic people is increasingly relying on luxury brands to improve its self-image(自我形象)。 I am a fashionist too, at least in spiritI love to look at clothes and shoes. But I dont understand why people spend lots of money on designer labels. When a young woman buys a handbag that co

25、sts two months of her salary, thats a scary thing. Whats interesting is that scientists have found that having luxury things doesnt lead to happiness. Study after study has shown that although we want material things, when we get them we dont suddenly become“happy”people. In fact, a series of studie

26、s by Leaf Van Boven at the University of Colorado, US, has shown that individuals who spend money on travel and similar experiences get more pleasure than those who invest it in material tings. Thats because experiences are more easily integrated into a persons identity. If I travel to Yunnan, that

27、adventure affects how I think in the future. My memories become a part of me. Moreover, as Van Boen has observed, young people who pursue happiness through“things”are liked less by their peers (同龄人). People prefer those who pursue happiness through experiences. Its natural to want to express yoursel

28、f through your appearance. So, my advice is: create a look that isnt tied to a designer label. Convey your own message, Take some lessons from the late Apple cofounder Steve Jobs. He was always in Levis jeans and a black turtleneck. Mark Zuckerberg, founder of Facebook, routinely appears in hoodies

29、and sneakers. These people, successful people, have style. You dont have to break the bank to send a message about who you are. Take a trip. Go out into the world.
