    Unlike other people, my Olympic heroes are not Olympic champions or the important people on the Olympic Committee (委员会). They are just the ordinary ones who do the everyday things. They work without the recognition (公认) the famous people get.They are the Olympic volunteers.

    These people aren't the great stars of sport. They just want to do their part for the Olympics by smiling and helping the Games go smoothly.The stars of the Games are like brightly colored sailboats on the sea, racing through the waves. How lovely to watch them! But the volunteers are the wind, which nobody sees. Without the wind the sailboats would not be able to move and no one would want to watch them. The volunteers breathe (发出) the wind of life into the athletes.

    The volunteers may never win medals, but they always do their best to encourage the athletes, whether the athletes win or lose.Some might think what the volunteers do is boring, hardly worth mentioning (提及). But in my eyes, they are as important as the champions and the stars. They are just as much heroes, despite (尽管) not appearing in newspapers or on TV.

I truly admire them and I will always cheer for them. They are my Olympic heroes.

    An official media outlet has, for the first time, published a cartoon of President Xi Jinping, with graphic details of his engagements over the past months. Cartoons can make politicians seem more friendly, says Tao Duanfang in an article for The Beijing News.

    Cartoons can leave a deep impression about a character in the minds of readers. Presidential campaign teams in countries like the US, Canada and Japan have a tradition of crafting products in the shape of politicians' caricatures.

    Tao points out that caricatures of politicians have become part of pop culture in many countries, with their purposes ranging from publicity to commercial use. Cartoons and caricatures can be used to criticize or ridicule political leaders, too. Besides, they can also help politicians introduce their political views.

    Tao says that cartoons and caricatures can bring politicians closer to the people and demonstrate the spirit of an inclusive and lively political climate, which is conducive (有利于) to social progress.

    THE human face doesn't lie. We show sadness and happiness through our expressions. But exactly how many emotions can our face make?Scientists used to believe we had six basic facial expressions that tell others how we feel: sad, happy, surprised, fearful, angry and disgusted (恶心的).
    But a new study shows that our faces can do more than we think. Scientists from Ohio State University found out that humans can actually make 21 different facial expressions after studying how people move their facial muscles.
    The scientists took pictures of 230 volunteers making faces in response to different cues (提示). These cues included phrases like “you just got some great unexpected news”, which produced a “happily surprised” reaction from volunteers. Other cues included “you smell a bad odor (气味)”, which caused “disgusted” faces.
    In total, around 5,000 pictures were taken of the volunteers. The scientists then studied similarities of these pictures using a computer expression database. This helped them to define a facial expression. “That tells us that these 21 emotions are expressed in the same way by nearly everyone,” said DrAleix Martinez to The Daily Telegraph. For example, to express surprise, 92 percent of volunteers widened (睁大) their eyes and opened their mouth. And 99 percent raised their cheeks (脸颊) and smiled to show being happy.
    We are not always aware of our facial expressions, which can hold clues to how we really feel. So these results may have a big impact (影响) on medical treatment. If doctors were able to recognize more complex (复杂的) emotions, it would help doctors treat patients suffering from certain diseases.

    The corridor (走廊) windows at the Hangzhou Entel Foreign Language School look a bit different from other schools. They are all decorated (装饰) with beautiful paper cutting art. But they are not just for decoration. They are also to stop birds from flying into windows.
    Chen Zitong, 14, a Junior 3 student at the school came up with the idea. In early January, she wrote a letter to the headmaster and suggested this. She often saw birds fly into the clean windows and get hurt. After some online research, she found this solution. “Some people decorated windows with stickers (贴纸) or posters. Then I thought of replacing (代替) them with our traditional paper cutting art,” Chen said.
    To Chen's surprise, the headmaster took her advice. The school organized a paper cutting art competition. Students' works that got awards were pasted on the corridor windows.
    In fact, there have been paper cutting art classes since 2011. “We have classes once a week for a month to teach paper cutting,” said Fan Ming, an art teacher. The teaching building even has a display (展示) wall to show students' works.
    Through the class, Shi Jiawei, 14, fell in love with the art of paper cutting. “It's very fun. I can design my own patterns (图案) and present interesting things through it,” she said. She created many works like bears and magpies (喜鹊).
    Paper cutting also helps students become more patient. Wang Yiyou, 12, was once an active boy. But now, he can carefully design a delicate (精致的) paper cutting work with scissors (剪刀) and gravers (刻刀). “I am so proud that I can make it look perfect,” he said.
