    Self-discipline (自律) is very important for students in Grade Nine now. We have had online study1March 2^nd this year. Teachers taught his class through different apps on the internet and we stayed at home to learn knowledge by 2. Because of this, self-discipline should be a habit for us. Self-disciplined students use different methods to study alone, which brings them more success. Here are the four methods almost all self-disciplined students use.

    They are regular (有规律的). Almost all self-disciplined students study regularly, because they know" What you give is what you get.

    These years, big changes to city life in China have attracted the world. Among them, four stand out. They are famous as "China's four great modern inventions".

Online shopping

    China has many big online shopping platforms, such as Taobao, T-mall and JD.com.

    They have made online shopping a lifestyle choice for many people in China. Taobao even started "online shopping festival", the Double Eleven. It's reported that Taobao and T-mall may have more than 800 million goods. Their company Alibaba has developed into the world's largest ecommerce(电子商务) company.

Bike sharing

    Bike sharing is not a new idea. But China has given it a whole new meaning. It encourages people to ride the public-sharing bike over short distances, aiming to solve the  "last mile" problem in big cities. We use mobile apps or cards to unlock bikes. We can leave the shared bikes at any bike station. This makes bike sharing much easier.

Cashless payment(无现金支付)

    In China, now you don't need cash or bankcards to buy things. You could just pay with your mobile phone. You can scan(扫描) a store's QR code(二维码) to pay. Even a fruit seller on the roadside has a QR code for WeChat Pay or Alipay.

    High-speed trains

    On September 21, China's new high-speed train Fuxing made its first run from Beijing to Shanghai. It ran at a speed of 350 km/h. This makes it the fastest train in the world.

    China has the world's longest high-speed railway network. It's more than 22,000 kilometers leading the game in these areas. And they are greatly changing people's lives.

    As a man was passing some elephants, he suddenly stopped, wondered the fact that these huge animals were being held by only a small rope tied to their front legs. No chains, no cages. It was sure that the elephants could, at anytime, break away from their ropes but for some reason, they didn't.

    He saw a trainer nearby and asked why these animals just stood there and made no thought to get away. "Well," the trainer said, "when they are very young and much smaller, we use the same size rope to tie them and, at that age, it's enough to hold them. As they grow up, they are conditioned to believe the rope can still hold them, so they never try to run free."

    The man was amazed. These animals could at any time escape from their ropes but because they believed they couldn't, they were stuck right where they were.

    Like the elephants, how many of us go through life hanging into a belief that we can't do something, simply because we failed at it once before? Failure is part of learning and we should never give up the pains in life.

    Ladies and gentlemen, I returned to this year in a time machine. In the year 2500, we are able to travel through time to any year in the history of the earth. This year is your last chance to change your lifestyle to save the earth.

    Beginning in the middle of the 20^th century, a few people were worried about polluting the earth's water and air, but most people did not change their way of life. Instead, they continued to pour dangerous chemicals and other waste into lakes and seas, to drive more  and more cars and trucks, and to cut down trees.

    By the year 2200, the earth's water was completely polluted. People could no longer drink water, and they had to use other types of liquids.

    So, by the year 2300, there were so many people that food became scarce. There was no water to grow food and all of the fish in the lakes and seas died because of the pollution. Terrible wars broke out between the rich and the poor. Scientists were working very hard to find another planet in space where humans could live.

    By the year 2400, the air was too polluted for humans to breathe. So we had to leave the earth. Where did we go? Nowhere. The scientists did not find another safe planet, so now we must travel around the universe in our spaceships. We are still looking for a place to call our home.

    So, it is up to change history. There is still hope. You must change your lifestyle now, before it is too late.

    The tradition of birthday parties started in Europe a long time ago. People were afraid that evil spirits(邪恶的神灵) were attracted to people on their birthdays.

     Giving gifts brought even more good cheer to kee away from the evil spirits. This is how birthday parties began.

    The following are some countries' birthday traditions:

    Canada—Putting the butter on the nose. In Atlantic Canada, the birthday child's nose is put something for good luck.

    China— The birthday child pays respect to his/her parents and receives a gift of money. Friends and relatives are invited to lunch and noodles are served to wish the birthday child a long life.

    England—Fortune telling cakes. Certain objects are mixed into the birthday cake as it is being prepared.

    Japan—New clothes. The birthday child wears new clothes to mark the special ceremony.

    New Zealand—After the birthday cake is lit, the happy birthday song is sung loudly and the birthday person receives a clap(掌声) for each year they have been alive and then one for good luck.

    The United States— Cake, candles and song.

 Mary: Hi, Jack. Do you play King of Glory(《王者荣耀》)?

Jack: Yes, I do. Every boy in my class is playing it and we often about it together. Then good players are respected.

Mary: Oh. My brother also spends most of his spare time on King of Glory.

 Jack: Do you know it has had 50 million daily users? All of its characters are named after figures from China's .

Mary: Mmm, Li Bai, as we know, was a famous poet. But in the game, his job is to kill the others. I dislike this. It rewrote China's history.

Jack: Me, too. Also, my favorite hero is Jing Ke. The real Jing Ke was a man. In the game, however, he has been turned a woman.

Mary: And my parents are worried about this game. They ask my brother to play it after over 16 years of age.

Jack: They are right. But said that more than 30 percent of the players are in middle school.

Mary: Well. We should discuss this problem in the class meeting next week. Perhaps we aren't old to tell the differences between fact and fiction.

    Union(团结)is strength whenever you're faced with difficulties or in a terrible situation.

     Teamwork an important part in getting you out of trouble. There was a time when I was so that I overlooked my classmates, to work together with them. Therefore, there was no doubt that I was left alone, with and failure.

     Fortunately, my parents encouraged me and told me the value of teamwork. From then on, I learned to help and turn to my friends for help whenever I had difficulty finishing a task on my own. Surely teamwork made a great . Now I am my friends.

    My experience has me that only if we remember the great importance of teamwork can we go beyond ourselves. As the saying goes, "United we stand; divided we fall."

    Once there was a king and his daughter. The king asked his daughter how much she loved him. She said that she loved him as much as she loved salt. Her answer made the king very happy. Salt is simple thing, but it is very important. So the king thought his daughter cared a lot about him.

    Salt has many uses. Bodies need salt. If we don't have enough, our bodies can't work properly. We put salt on icy roads to make them safe. We also use salt to produce other products, like paper and glass. But for many years, salt's most important job was to protect food. Like other living things, most bacteria(细菌) need water to live. Salt takes in plenty of water, so most bacteria can't live in a salty environment. Therefore, salt protects food and many other things. For much of humans history, this ability has made salt valuable. Every ancient culture from Egypt to China depended on salt. Even today, the hard working usefulpeople are described as "the salt of the earth".

For centuries, salt was also hard to get because its usefulness made it very expensive. Saltcould even be used like money, in fact, the word salary(薪水) comes from the word salt.

    Today, salt is used more widely and it still plays an important role in our life.

    As the saying goes, "A hero is known in the time of misfortune(不幸)."Zhong Nanshan is a hero like this. He is a doctor in Guangdong, who saved many people's lives in 2003.

    In 2003, SARS broke out in Guangdong. Later, it sprea across China and other parts of the world. Patients coughed a lot and got fevers. Hundreds of patients even died from thedisease. Even many doctors and nurses got SARS when they treated patients. So everyone was afraid of it. But Zhong was brave enough to fight the disease. Zhong spent days and nights to find the cause of the disease. And many patients used his way of treating, theybegan to get better. Zhong finally won people's trust.

    In early 2020, a disease called Novel coronavirus pneumonia(新型冠状病毒肺炎) hit Wuhan. It spread quickly and around tens of thousands of Chinese people got it. Zhong, 84, led his team to Wuhan to fight the illness. Zhong's team took many measures to cure the patients. He advised people to wear masks, wash hands often, stay at home and not to go to crowded places.

    Zhong likes sports very much. When he was 67, he could still play basketball. Now, Zhong still treats patients in the hospital and teaches young doctors. "I am just a doctor." Zhong says. But we think he is a hero and a fighter.
