Diana Gopear was expecting a nice dinner and maybe some flowers for her 46th birthday, but what she got was a much bigger surprise.
“My heart was beating fast. I was shaking. I was so nervous,” Diana Gopear, Emily’s step-mother, said.Emily gave her step-mother the surprise of a life time. “It was just amazing. I could hardly read it. ” Diana said. She read some of the letter aloud. “Without you, I wouldn’t be the woman I am today.”
“I wrapped it really nice so it wouldn’t be broken. It was five pages about how amazing she is and each page had a picture of her, and then at the end said ‘will you accept me?’ And then the paper behind it was the one where she had to sign it,” Emily said.
Diana Gopear has known Emily since she was a little baby. “I never liked the word step for step-parent because some people aren’t step-parents. Some people are worth being a step-parent but in our situation it was just the way it was, ” she said. And while the birthday gift probably won’t ever be the best, but it is the most valuable for her.
“Blood doesn’t make you family, so she’s my mom because she’s been there for me, so she is worth being my mom in-law.” Emily said.

Should Shanghai bid for(申办) the Summer Olympics in 2028? Here are some people’s opinions.
Some people said, “The games will improve Shanghai’s global influence and the city is powerful and must try to become a platform(平台) for major international dialogues. Shanghai has succeeded in holding the World Expo in 2010 and the city can also hold a successful Summer Olympics.”
Others, however, are not sure whether it’s a good idea. They think the Olympics would be too expensive and the money could be better spent on other things.
The 2008 Beijing Olympics brought much prestige(声望) to the city and to China, but its cost, over $40 million, was high and the Olympic site(场地) in the center of the city is now largely unused. Could Shanghai learn from Beijing’s experience and do it better?
My answer is yes. As one American said, “A great city has to do great things.” Shanghai is a great city and is not afraid of facing challenges. Holding the 2028 Summer Olympics would prove that.

More Americans prefer to get food at their local food markets. According to a new study of the University of Iowa (UI), it’s not just because these people believe the food is fresher and tastes better, but because they think they are following a kind of social duty — sharing a healthy lifestyle, helping save environment and so on.
These so-called “locavores (土食者)” are shopping at farmers markets and joining food coops (食品合作社), because they enjoy knowing who grows the food. They are also driven to eat locally grown produce and meat because their promise to do so makes them feel a part of something greater than themselves.
Vasi, an associate professor at the UI, said the local food market is a “moralized (道德化的) market”, and that is a market in which people combine economic activities with their values. Among the findings, the UI researchers discovered local food markets were more likely to develop in areas where local people had a strong promise to social duty, health and the environment. “It’s about valuing the relationship with the farmers and people who produce the food and believing that how they produce the food agrees with your personal values.” Vasi said.
Vasi shared the results of the study at the American Sociology Association annual meeting in Chicago on Aug. 22, 2015. Researchers also did 40 interviews with consumers and producers in different local food markets in Iowa and New York.
1.Where do people like to get food better in America?
________________________________
2.Why do the locavores join food coops?

3.How do people feel when eating locally grown produce and meat?
