A new guidebook showcasing Hainan, China's southernmost province, to
English-speaking readers was launched on Sept. 9 at The Commercial Press head office in Beijing.
Produced by the award-winning international team of writers and editors behind The World of Chinese, this book Hainan: Jade Cliffs to Ocean Paradise dives deep into the natural, cultural and humanistic sides of an island lately associated with retirees and real estate.
\chief editor of The World of Chinese, at the book's launch event. \book tells you why you should visit.\said, \
From Hainan's famous beach resorts to its backcountry interior, the book's writers went across the province in search of little-told tales — trekking(跋涉) up its primeval(原始的) hills and through its rainforests, sipping tea and coffee with locals,
visiting the homes of fishermen and ethnic minorities and discovering the passions of marine archaeologists, conservationists and surfers.
These personal experiences and first-hand conversations are reflected in each of the book's chapters on Hainan's ecology, history, culture, leisure, food, sports and economy. These topics are then brought to life by original photographs, hand-drawn maps, interviews with native authors and scholars and profiles on colorful individuals and communities.
\of the things I was not expecting to find was a quaint little fishing village. Inevitably, modem elements permeate the beauty of ancient elegance. The village has been quietly half-occupied by a growing modem surfing community,\of the writers, told the audience about visiting the village of Houhai in Sanya. \what it has meant for people's lives, and how surfing is just starting to develop in China,\

Twenty years ago, I became involved in pet therapy (疗法) work with our Angel. As she matured and went through professional training, we realized that she would be good at this new job.
Angel is ten now and works every week. She visits two hospitals, providing day care for the elderly, and our library's PAWS for Reading program. At the library, six to ten dogs lie on the floor, and the kids pick a book to read to a dog. After they finish, they get a card with the dog's picture and history. Angel also helps out at a special-needs camp. She is so popular that everywhere we go people recognize her, especially the kids she has worked with.
We have seen some very special things through our pet therapy work. I brought Angel to our local hospital to visit a woman who was completely unable to move the right side of her body from a stroke (中风). One day, my husband, Jack, got Angel up into a chair next to the woman's bed, asking her if she wanted to give Angel a treat. She nodded. Angel gently took the treat. Then the woman raised her right hand and started petting Angel. Her friend couldn't believe her eyes.
After that, every time we saw the woman, she lifted her left hand. We'd tell her she had to use her right hand, and she would. Next, you'll fall in love with this woman's story of rearing her own Angel later in her family and why she calls it the best decision she ever made. 4. Who is Angel? A. A pet trainer.
B. A hospital carer.
D. A biography.
