To 12-year-old Joe Whale, mistakes are not problems. They are good 1 to have fun making art. And making art is what Joe has been doing since he was a kid. He was very 2 in drawing and spent a lot of time practicing his painting skills. "I would draw and 3 art pieces at every chance," he said. He made his specialty（特长） , black-and-white doodles（涂鸦） , at the age of six.
At school, Joe would finish his work 4 and then he could doodle. He 5 drew many funny pictures everywhere, on his math workbook, on his table and on the paper. 6 his doodles gave people a bright feeling, his teachers were not always 7 to find his doodles in unexpected places!
However, Joe's parents supported him and signed him up for after-school art classes. His art teacher 8 him a big wall to doodle on. It was really the 9 gift for Joe. Besides, he also posted his 10 on social media, and at last he became known as "The Doodle Boy". Soon Joe had his first real show. At the age of nine, he doodled on an 8-foot-by-8-foot 11 of a restaurant in his hometown. Joe used his favorite drawing: a black brush. He drew while he was 12 on his knees and standing on a chair. It took him twelve hours to fill the wall.
Joe doesn't always make plans for his art ahead. He just draws 13 what he meets or what he thinks in his daily life. If he meets 14 , he just looks around. "For example, when I'm hungry, I draw food", he said. Joe also gives a useful 15 to other creative kids: Find what you truly love and don't let anything stop you.

Altay （阿勒泰）, a place in the Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region （新疆维吾尔自治区）, has become a famous place for tourists because of a successful TV show named To the Wonder(《我的阿勒泰》). The show showed the area's amazing natural beauty, with mountains covered in snow, lakes that are very clear, and old villages that are still in good condition. Altay is also a favorite place for skiing during the cold season.
People who study tourism say that Altay has always been famous for its beautiful nature, but it was not a popular place to visit before because it took a long time to travel there and the cost of staying in hotels was high. However, the popular TV show has made more people, especially young people, interested in visiting Altay.
Even though it can be difficult to travel to Altay, experts think that the area could become a great place for tourists. Altay has different interesting things to see in summer and winter, so it can attract visitors all year. The government of Altay are advised to keep making their area better for tourists by improving their tourism and cultural attractions, as well as making the places for tourists to stay and visit better.
It is not the first time that a TV show has made a place more popular for tourists. In the last few years, other places, like Dali in Yunnan Province, have also become popular tourist destinations （目的地） because of interesting TV dramas. By making tour products that include both natural beauty and cultural activities, Altay can make visiting even better and bring more people to see their special area.

He was an old man who fished alone in a boat and he had gone eighty-four days now without taking a fish. In the first forty days a boy had been with him. But after forty days without a fish, the boy's parents had told him that the old man was now salao, which is the worst form of unlucky, and the boy had gone at their orders in another boat which caught three good fish the first week.
It made the boy sad to see the old man come in each day with his boat empty and he always went down to help him carry fishing tools.
The old man was thin with deep wrinkles（皱纹） in the back of his neck. His hands had the deep scars（伤疤） from dealing with heavy fish. But none of these scars were fresh.
Everything about him was old except his eyes and they were the same color as the sea and were cheerful and full of confidence.
"Santiago", the boy said to him as they climbed from the bank where the boat was pulled up. "I could go with you again. We've made some money."
"No," the old man said. "You' re with a lucky boat. Stay with them."
"But remember how you went eighty-seven days without a fish and then we caught big ones every day for three weeks."
"I remember," the old man said. "I know you did not leave me willingly."
"It was papa who made me leave. I am a boy and I must do what he told me to."
"I know. I quite understand that."
"He hasn't much faith （信念）."
"No," the old man said. "But we have. Haven't we?"
"Yes," the boy said. "Can I offer you a beer on the Terrace and then we'll take the fishing tools home?"
"Why not?" the old man said. "Between fishermen."
They sat on the Terrace. Many fishermen made fun of the old man and he was not angry. Some other older fishermen looked at him and were sad. But they didn't show it and they spoke politely about the sea, the weather and of what they had seen.
