    My parents turned my whole world upside down when they told me they were getting a divorce (离婚). I couldn't 1 our family was going to break up.

    It changed my life completely. My mother and I moved 2 a small apartment (公寓) across town, 3 my father and brother, Bill, remained in our house.

    And very soon I had my soon-to-be stepfather (继父), Dan. Although I wasn't very nice to him, he 4 gave up on me.

    As time went on, I realized that we had some things in 5, especially when it came to movies and TV shows. We began to spend a lot of time together 6 out. It gave us a chance to talk 7 get to know each other.

    8 still, Dan was always around when I needed help on school or friends. Once I grew to warm to Dan, the 9 of us began spending a lot of time together. We often went out to eat and took short trips. Eventually (最后), I discovered I had the 10 family that I had never had before.

    My father found happiness, 11 – he remarried and had 12 child, my half-sister, Michelle. 13 13, I learned an important truth – 14 is not always for the worse. Sometimes, it is just something 15 we need the most. We should learn to accept it bravely.

    I'm a girl, Rosie. Racing on the 1,500-meter track (跑道), I'm so tired. I want to stop but a voice is repeating in my head, "No one knows what the result will be. Everything is still possible." Today, I have to fight with myself.

    Nine years ago, when I was a 6-year-old girl, my mother took me on a trip. We went to the foot of a high mountain which she told me that we would climb. I had never done this before and the thought of it made me very happy.

    At the beginning, I was so excited, and climbed fast. But half an hour later, when I was thirsty and tired, I just stopped and sat on the ground, completely silent. My mom came and sat next to me.

She said, "Get up and go on!"

    Crying, I almost shouted, "Never! It's too tiring and I am thirsty. I want to go back home now."

    Patiently she explained, "Listen, my dear. If you try your best, anything is possible. If you don't try, your dream will never come true. You will never know how beautiful the sights look unless you reach the top of the mountain."

    Hearing her words, I stopped crying and started to climb again. Finally I did reach the top of the mountain and enjoyed the fantastic view.

    Today I'm on the racing track. I'm going to keep running because I know it's always valuable. And in the end I made it — I got through the finish line.

    Although it was really difficult and I did not win, I did finish it. "Never stop fighting until you arrive at your destined (命定的) place."

    The British government has started a ￡ 10 million Mandarin Excellence (普通话优秀) Program. The program will have helped over 5,000 British students to be fluent (流利的) in Mandarin Chinese by 2020.

    The program is led by local schools and supported (支持) by University College London. So far, 14 schools have taken part in the program. Hundreds of secondary school students in England have taken lessons in Mandarin Chinese. Over the next three years, they will spend eight hours studying Mandarin Chinese every week.

    Ned Miller is an officer of the British government. He said a high level of fluency in Mandarin Chinese would become more and more important. "Language skills are important for jobs and life. Mandarin Chinese is spoken by the largest number of people in the world. It is also one of the languages that matters the most to our country's future. If the United Kingdom wants to remain competitive in the world, we do need far more of our young people leaving school with a good command of Mandarin Chinese," Miller added. "We hope that our young people could be given the chance to study the language. We want them to be fluent in both spoken and written Mandarin. The Mandarin Excellence Program will help us do this. It will not only open the students' eyes, but also give them a great advantage when they enter the world of work."

    British kids, in fact, are not alone. In America, about 200,000 students are studying Mandarin Chinese. It is believed that 800,000 more will join them over the next couple of years.

    Notre Dame (巴黎圣母院)

    A terrible tragedy (悲剧) hit France on April 15. A fire broke out in the Notre Dame cathedral (教堂), destroying (毁坏) its spire (尖顶) and a large part of its roof (屋顶). Built between 1163 and 1250, Notre Dame is one of the finest examples of French Gothic architecture (哥特式建筑). It is also home to many priceless works of art. It was reported that French President Emmanuel Macron promised to rebuild the cathedral.
    The first black hole photo

    History was made on April 10 when researchers unveiled (公布) the first-ever photo of a black hole. The image shows a black hole with a bright ring around it. The black hole lies in a faraway galaxy named Messier 87. Scientists say that the image proves (证明) that black holes are real. It also supports Einstein's theory (理论) of general relativity (广义相对论).

    5G

    At the top of your phone display (显示), you'll usually see a little symbol that says 3G or 4G. The "G" stands for the "generation (代)" of your mobile network. Now, the age of 5G is arriving. On March 30, Shanghai vice-mayor (副市长) Wu Qing made the first 5G video call on a Huawei Mate X smartphone, CGTN reported. Shanghai has also become the first city in China to start testing 5G networks.

    About 100 times faster than 4G networks, 5G will let its users download and upload data faster than ever before. It can also be used to power other technology, such as self-driving cars and the Internet of things. China is set to become the world's largest 5G market, with 460 million users by 2025.

    Do you like reading? ⑴Now the Internet provides people with a lot of reading choices. But if you read them in the smallest library in the world, you will feel quite different. Here is the introduction of it.

    The Little Free Library has first appeared on the streets of New York City. ⑵It is so small that only one person can come in at a time. It was set up in a neighborhood in Manhattan. There are only 40 books in the library. In fact, it is not a house but a plastic building. Two designers designed it. The library was made of recycled materials (材料). It looks like an umbrella so that all the books in it can be protected from bad weather. There are also some holes outside the building, which allow readers to look at the books before they go into the library.

⑶Since the library was set up, many people have paid a visit to it. When the idea of Little Free Library came into being, it soon started spreading all over the United States. Later some areas of Europe, Africa and Asia also followed the example. The purpose of this library is to help people take a break from their pace (步伐) of life.

    It was another wonderful Autumn here. I took my dog outside this morning. The air was cooler and drier than it had been for months. Our dog, Fluffy was carrying around a freshly fallen leaf in his mouth. I breathed (呼吸) and smiled. This was my favorite time of the year. I closed my eyes for a moment and a thousand memories began to appear in my mind.

    I was a four-year-old kid carrying an armful of (一抱) colorful leaves into the house to my mom. I was a young boy riding my bike down a hill with the wind whistling (呼呼地刮) past my face. I was taking a walk with my wife in the wondering why some leaves turned a rich red, while turned a light yellow. I around a local lake with my children wondering why the prettiest season seemed to be in a year. I was sitting on my back porch (走廊) drinking tea, thanking God another great Autumn afternoon, and wondering in Heaven it was Autumn all of the time.

    As I bathed my mind in these memories, I remembered Emerson had once said, "Beauty is God's handwriting." I wondered too if God had a special pen just for Autumn.

    We are all traveling through sweet seasons in this world. May we always take the time to add our own love, joy, and beauty to them.

    Yang Yu, 14, of Jilin, hasn't adapted (适应) himself to the changes in his classroom since the first day of this term: teachers now hold classes with a computer and screen. "Instead of writing on the blackboard as before, they click the mouse and show us the Power Point (PPT) slides (幻灯片) on the screen. Sometimes, there is not even one word on the blackboard after a whole class," Yang said. "I'm not quite used to the multimedia (多媒体) class."

    More and more middle schools in China now use multimedia in class. Teachers put their courses on a computer and show their lessons with a PPT. To make the lessons more interesting, they play animations (动画) and movies.

    Hu Wei, an English teacher in Sichuan, thinks multimedia class seems to be more interesting than traditional classes. His students practice their oral English by following music and animations on a computer. "It helps them speak English bravely and actively," Hu says. "Besides, it's also a helpful tool for teachers because showing PPTs saves us more time than writing notes on the blackboard."

    However, multimedia class makes things more difficult for students like Liu Yifang, a 15-year-old Beijinger. She can't take all her notes as before. "There are no words on the blackboard, but many on the screen," Liu says. "Besides, my teacher speaks so fast that I can't catch up."

    Liu thinks it is not the best way to learn. "For me, I like the old way. I agree that the multimedia is helpful, but so is the blackboard," Liu says. "If teachers can use both tools properly in class, I think that will be really good for everyone."

    The summer holiday is coming. What a perfect chance to plan a trip! How about backpacking (背包旅行)? Maybe you're too young to do it. But it doesn't matter. Follow me and you'll learn about an interesting way to travel.

    Have you ever noticed foreigners with big bags on their backs? They wear jeans and T-shirts, and have guidebooks or maps in their hands. They look curious (好奇的) about everything they see. They enjoy themselves without a tour group. That's right! They are backpackers.

    Backpacking is a popular way for Westerners to travel outside of their country. It's cheap so that people can travel more and see more places. Most backpackers are young people because backpacking needs a strong body, courage and freedom.

    Backpackers usually do some homework before setting out. They search for information about their destination (目的地) country: food, fun places to visit, hostels (青年旅舍) and things to buy. They are sure they know how to change planes or where to get the train.

    Backpacking is a freer way to travel. You can change your destination whenever you want. It also allows travelers to explore and see more. And you can decide how long to stay there. If you go with a tour group, there may be a lot of rules and you may not be free to do things as you like.

Dear daughter,

    You are a wonderful person and your mother and I love you. It will not be long before you leave school to make your way in the world. Can I give you some friendly advice? Here are some things that you should never do.

    Never get upset with your look.

    We think you look great. Eat well, take exercise and be healthy. Some girls worry too much about not getting the perfect shape. You look fine.

    Never put yourself at serious risk.

     And sometimes you have to avoid things that look like they might be fun, like smoking.

    You are great and able to achieve great things, so believe in yourself. When things go badly, never stop believing. Some girls get upset, doubt themselves and lose confidence. Then many problems can follow.

    Never give less than your best.

We are very proud of what you have achieved. You should be proud, too.     

    Never forget that your parents love you.

    Whatever happens in life, your family will still be your family. We are here for you and we will try to help.

Love,

Dad
