How to keep safe in chatting online
Remember that online friends are really strangers (陌生人). People online, no matter how long you have been talking to them or how friendly they are, may not be who they say they are.
Meeting someone you have only been in touch (接触) with online can be dangerous. If you feel that you have to meet, you must tell your parents and take them with you—at least on the first visit—and meet in a public place in the daytime.
Stay calm in chat. Keep your personal information secret when chatting online (name, address, telephone number, mobile number, email address, pictures), even if people ask for this. Giving out personal information can make you dangerous.
Use a nickname (昵称), not your real name, and a nickname that is not going to bring the wrong kind of meaning.
Tell your parents if someone or something makes you feel uncomfortable or worried.
Learn how to keep a copy of the conversation (对话) in chat—this may be useful if you want to report something.
The way to live a healthy lifestyle is making small changes-taking more walk, eating more fruit, having an extra (额外的) glass of water-these are just a few ways you can start living healthily without big changes.
Turn off the TV. Once a week turn off the TV and do something a little more physical (身体的) with your family. Play games, take a walk...almost anything will be more active than sitting on the sofa.
Do some housework. Working in the garden, cleaning leaves, sweeping the floor…these kinds of activities may not be hard exercise, but they can keep you moving while getting your house in order.
Eating well. Eating a healthy diet (日常饮食) is another part of the healthy lifestyle. If you're looking for smaller changes, you can use these suggestions for simple ways to change how you eat.
Eat more fruit. Add it to your bread, your salad or even your dinners.
Drink more water. Water is the best drink, which we all know. But most of people, especially children enjoy all kinds of drinks such as Cola, Sprite. Having an extra glass of water can make us healthier.
Janie shook her bank. It was not heavy. She shook it again. It made very little sound.
She sighed (叹气). How could she buy dad a gift? Father's Day was almost here. She went to talk to mom.
"Mom," said Janie, I need money. "What do you need money for?" asked Mom. "I need to get dad a gift for Father's Day." "I will not give you the money," said Mom. "I will help you to make it." "What do I have to do?" asked Janie. "You can help me," said Mom. "You can help with housework. I will make a list of jobs. Each one will be worth a price. When you do a job well, I will give you the money according to the price." "OK. That's a good idea." said Janie.
Mom quickly made a housework list: sweeping the floor, $2; making the table, $0.5 ; washing socks, $1; making the bed, $1; washing the dishes, $2; taking out the litter, $1; cutting the grass in the garden, $3; tidying the room, $3.
After that, Janie helped with the housework happily every day, "What a pleasant surprise father will have when he gets the gift!" Janie often imagines (想象).
It's known as "the City of Ice" for a good reason. The famous International Ice and Snow Festival opened on Thursday in Harbin, capital of China's most northern (北方的) Province of Heilongjiang. When most of northern China closes its doors to the cold winter wind, Harbin always comes to life. CCTV reporter (记着) Nie Jia is in Harbin, enjoying the charm (魅力)of this winter land.
Nie Jia said, "Welcome to Harbin, the city of ice in north China. The temperature now is -16℃, but it's the best time of the year for Harbin because it is the suitable weather to build a world of ice and snow. For me, I really can't wait to see what the festival has to offer (提供). So follow me."
A Harbin resident (居民) said, "I feel very excited. Because ice and snow are important parts of our culture. They make our city more beautiful and through the festival people can feel the enthusiasm (热情) of the local (当地) people."
A tourist (游客) said, "My friend is from Guangxi. And I'm from Hebei province. We have been looking forward to the ice and snow festival for a long time and we really enjoyed the blue sky and white snow here."
Which is the tallest mountain on the earth? The answer must come fast—MT Everest, at a height of 29,000 feet.
But that is only on land. For, if you were to measure (测量) from the bottom (底部) of the ocean. The tallest mountain in the world will probably be Mauna Kea in Hawaii. It is more than 15,748 feet under the sea and another 13.779 feet above it.
As US scientist Cindy Lee Dover points out that the seafloor is the largest and least known place on the earth. We know more about Mars (火星) and Venus (金星) and the back side of the moon than we know about the seafloor.
Some people have travelled to the deep water of the ocean to try to find all kinds of unknown animals and plants living in the deep water. Even scientists know very little about them. Many of them perhaps do not even have names. Some of the names given by scientists to newly discovered (被发现) animals are really funny. Among them are the spaghetti worms (意大利面蠕虫), named as such it is found in a tangle (缠结), it is often difficult to make out where one ends and another begins! Just like spaghetti.

Some western (西方的) festivals like Christmas, April Fool's Day and Valentine's Day are becoming more and more popular in China. Some people say that we should keep away from them and just leave them there. Other people believe that we need to be open-minded (无偏见的) to the foreign (外国的) festivals and learn some western culture from them.
As I see, foreign festivals, such as Christmas, on the one hand, can bring happiness and joy to all of us; on the other hand, can offer (提供) a chance to the business. It is quite a good way for Chinese to know more about other countries. Some Chinese people also celebrate (庆祝) foreign festivals to enjoy something new and interesting to relax them in the modern city life.
While we have a lot of festivals such as Spring Festival, Lantern Festival, Dragon Boat Festival and so on, we should celebrate and protect them so that we can enjoy and learn traditional (传统的) culture from them. As we all know, the government (政府) also cares more about the traditional festivals. People in China will have a day off when a traditional festival comes.
The world is getting smaller and smaller. We should pay more attention to (更关注) the traditional festivals to protect our culture. At the same time we can also celebrate the western festivals in order for cross-cultural (跨文化的) communication (交流).

Homework is a big part of going to school. , you can do a few things to make homework less work.
First, be sure you understand the task (任务). Write it in your notebook, and don't be afraid to ask questions about it. It's much easier to take a minute to ask the teacher during or after class to struggle (费力) to remember later that night! If you want, you can also ask how long you should spend in finishing the homework so you can plan your time.
, try to do some homework at school. Many schools have study halls that are built to allow (允许) students to study. It's tempting (诱人的) to hang out (闲逛) with friends during study time. But the more work you can finish in school, the you'll have to do that night.
Third, if you don't finish your homework during school, about how much you have left, and then plan your time. Most high school students have between 1 and 3 of homework a night. If it's a heavy homework day and it seems that you've got homework in every subject, you'll need to spend more time the homework.
