其实早在1月5日，上海公共卫生临床中心和复旦大学公共卫生学院就有多名科研人员联合署名向NCBI（美国国家生物技术信息中心）提交了武汉海鲜市场肺炎病毒分离株的完整基因组：https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/nuccore/MN908947。可以认为医学界的反应还是比较及时的。

孩子调考没考好，好的公立没戏了。她在妈妈的数落下哭了。这次感觉她是真的哭得很伤心。真希望她能用这次惨痛的教训深刻领悟自我管理、自主学习、抓紧时间的重要性。如果真能发生本质改变，也算是塞翁失马。人生的路还长，孩子，从今天开始改变，你会变得真正的优秀，而不是父母逼迫出来的短暂的“优秀 ” ！加油！

知道这首歌的人一定是电脑发烧友，而且已过不惑之年了吧。它是当年Windows 95发行CD里附赠的一首MV。Edie Brickell慵懒悠扬的歌声，总会把人拉回到那个充满阳光、新奇、和不知疲倦的90年代。

Good Times – Edie Brickell

You don’t even have to try
It comes easy for you 
The way you move is so appealing
It could make me cry
Go out driving with my friends
In Bobby’s big old beat up car
I’m with a lot of people then
I wonder where you are

Good times, bad times, give me some of that
Good times, bad times, give me some of that
Good times, bad times, give me some of that

I don’t want to say goodbye
Don’t want to walk you to the door
I spend a little time with you
I want a little more

Good times, bad times, give me some of that
Good times, bad times, give me some of that
Good times, bad times, give me some of that

我们在寒冬中彼此依傍
我们在风暴中共同抵抗
2018是一段如履薄冰的旅程
我们在迷雾中从未迷失方向

经过挫折才会坚强
经过风雨才会感谢阳光
这个冬天意外的冷
坚持过后必是春的芬芳

——献给坚韧不屈的合迅人，新年快乐

Hi Paula,

How are you doing? I’m back again.

I know you may have some doubts that I may not come this year as your dad ever mentioned. But I tried my best to arrange this trip tonight. However, it’s sadly this has to be my last visit to you because you grow up. You will be 11 next Feb, right? You are no longer a little girl anymore. There’s a rule in Santa Claus Village that Santa Claus will never deliver gifts to children older than 10! I must follow the rule. But don’t worry. From next year, your mum and dad will send you gifts on behalf of me on the same Christmas Eve. As to me, I will still be very busy to send gifts to the little boys and girls younger than 10. You know there’re millions of babies born in this world every year.

I quickly went through your achievements this year before I rode on my sled. The many number ones surprised me again! I’m so proud of you! And I did see you made big progress on taking care of yourself, making plans by yourself and doing things per the plans. Keep going and you will do better! Now I want to share you my secret of “success” as my best gift to you other than any other physical gifts. It’s quite simple: 1, setup the goal, 2, make plan, 3, act on the plan, 4, take feedback and repeat 2-4 until you achieve the goal. Isn’t it simple? The key to make this work is persistence. I believe you can!

Well, I have to say goodbye. I hope you can visit my village some day when you can travel alone far away. I’ll be right there waiting for you.

Merry Christmas and happy New Year!

Yours, Santa Claus

十岁生日会上，回顾着孩子们稚嫩可爱的成长照片，看着孩子们认真地写下成长心愿，听着孩子们稚气未脱的成长誓言，不由得心潮澎湃，感慨万千。回首十年前的那天，小小婴儿呱呱坠地，努力睁开眼睛渴望认识这个世界，这一切仿佛就在昨天。十年弹指一挥间，孩子已渐渐长大，从襁褓到爬行，从爬行到行走，从行走到奔跑；从牙牙学语到初背唐诗，从初背唐诗到阅读名著；从一切靠爸爸妈妈，到自己的事自己做，孩子渐渐成长为一个聪明、活泼、有思想、有见解的小小少年。这场盛大的生日会，就像一艘平稳的游轮，载着孩子、家长和老师们，畅游在爱与被爱的海洋；就像时光隧道中的一道闪电，照亮你成长岁月中的点点滴滴；就像飞往春天的雁群停下来喝口水、歇歇脚，再展翅高飞，迎接明天的暴雨或骄阳！孩子啊，未来在你脚下，爸爸妈妈和老师，会引领着你、陪伴着你，直到你长大、独立、自强！加油，孩子，你是你自己的希望！

Ok，这是妈妈写了一半甩给我的作业，说班主任马上要。好吧，我接力。最后一个比喻愣是下楼走了两圈才憋出来滴….

Today could be the very critical moment in the history of China. Where will you go China?

Hey Dear Paula,

How are you? I’m back. It’s been a while since I came over to see you in January this year. Of course, you were in a good dream that night so I left you a letter. I believe you’ve completely read through it with some little help from your daddy. I told you that my nine deer had a long vacation after the crazy Christmas Eve last year. They are energetic again tonight! So am I. Aha!

I’m pretty sure you are deserved to get some gifts tonight because of all the excellent jobs you have done. You didn’t surprise me that you won the first prizes of Piano and Language Performance again this year. But you surprised me that your Language Performance got into the top 10 of the city! What a fabulous achievement! Do you know how much I like to hear you playing the piano? I like Sakura most. It always reminds me the beautiful sakura trees and flowers in Japan. Oh yes, your English and math are getting better and better. I know you like Pop English. That’s great! Keep going! It’s true that math is always like a tough monster. But I saw your progress. You beat most of the homework immediately right after you came home from the class. That’s really a good habit and don’t drop it. Now you can recite many beautiful poems. You read many good books. You learned basic badminton skills. You even started to learn singing. What a busy year! Shouldn’t you be proud of yourself? Shouldn’t you trust yourself? Shouldn’t you thank your mummy for her accompanying? Tell you a secret, your mummy and daddy actually think you are excellent even though they are always critical to you. That’s simply because they want you more excellent. Trust me, all the parents do.

But (there’s always a but after all the good things) you failed the ABRSM music theory exam. And your Chinese composition is far away from excellence. Think about why you failed. Is it because you didn’t spend much time on it and lacked of practice? We all know time is flying quickly. Only the faster runner can catch it up. I encourage you do things faster so you can earn more time. The key of doing things faster is concentration. Frankly you made some progress on this but still not enough. I hope you can put this on the top of all my good wishes to you in the next year. Do you agree? Great! Now my 2^nd wish is to expect you can manage your stuffs on your own. You will be 10 soon. You are no longer a little girl anymore. You cannot always depend on your parents. I believe you have the capability to manage your stuffs on you own. Remember, TIME is the most valuable thing among all your stuffs.

Well, I do have other 10 more wishes to you but I have to go and visit other kids. Check out what you wrote down on the back of the door of your room. They are all your wishes, also mine. Now enjoy your new gift. Keep in mind you are an excellent girl and you can do things faster and better. I’ll be very happy to come over again on the next Christmas Eve, probably with another gift!

Merry Christmas and happy New Year!

Dear Paula,

Guess who I am? Aha, I bet you won’t know until you read this letter slowly and carefully. I visited you in the past 8 years on Christmas Eve. Sorry, it should be 7 years because I didn’t come on the very last Christmas Eve, because…I guess you know the reason, right? Of course, you were always in good dreams when I visited you.

I remember I have told your father in his dream one night that you may also get a gift IF you are doing well. Well, now I’m glad to see that you have done something awesome in the past year. You won the first prizes of Piano and Language Performance in the middle of the year. You won the five-star prize of calculation match of XueErSi. You passed the fifth degree of Piano ABRSM – terrific! You got 9.2 scores in final exam of Language Performance. You even got 100+20 scores in final exam of maths. Look! So many achievements you got in the past year. You should be proud of yourself! Your mother and father should be proud of you too!

I would suggest your father send the Lego in his luggage to you instead of sending it to his colleague because of what you have done (he can buy another one to his colleague, right?). I’m so sorry that my deer are taking a long vacation after the hard working in last Christmas Eve so I really can’t visit and send you the gift by myself. I hope you accept my apology.

I promise I will send you a new gift in the next Christmas Eve personally if you continue doing well. That means you should not only continue what you are doing well, but also improve some areas. For example, focusing when doing things, never mad at anyone, always polite, brave to raise the hand and answer the question in the class, reading more meaningful books, having the sense of time, being able to manage your personal matters, knowing what the most important things are, and, trying to help your mother and father. Wow, sounds so many things to improve! Don’t worry, I will see any progress you make, your mother and father will see too. A big achievement always comes from small improvements.

Come on Paula! Trust yourself! I believe you will be doing well. YOU ARE EXCELLENT!

Your Sincerely
Santa Claus
