Smile at each other, smile at your wife, smile at your husband, smile at your children, smile at each other-it doesn't matter who it is-and that will help you to grow up in greater love for each other. Mother TeresaMany Americans are familiar with The Little Prince, a wonderful book by Antoine de Saint-Exupery. This is a whimsical and fabulous book and works as a children's story as well as a thought-provoking adult fable. Far fewer are aware of Saint-Exupery's other writings, novels and short stories.Saint-Exupery was a fighter pilot who fought against the Nazis and was killed in action. Before World War Ⅱ, he fought in the Spanish Civil War against the fascists. He wrote a fascinating story based on that experience entitled The Smile( Le Sourire. )It is this story which I'd like to share with you now. It isn't clear whether or not he meant this to be autobiographical or fiction. I choose to believe it is the former.He said that he was captured by the enemy and thrown into a jail cell. He was sure that from the contemptuous looks and rough treatment he received from his jailers he would be executed the next day. From here, I'll tell the story as I remember it in my own words. 相似文献

It can take the uninitiated a minute to realize that "Gangnam Style" is satire.When the absurdly infectious single by Korean pop star PSY appeared in July,the video had all the hallmarks of earnest K-pop:highly engineered dance routines,over-the-top styling,and the Technicolor production values honed by Seoul’s hit-making industry,which my colleague John Seabrook describes in the magazine this week in his piece,"Factory Girls." But the most important thing that "Gangnam Style" has is a sense of humor about itself.Its satire made it a viral phenomenon with three hundred million views on YouTube,surpassing 相似文献
