Have you argued with a friend or done anything you regretted? 1 it's hard to put things right, especially when your feelings are hurt. Knowing 2 to apologize (道歉) can help you become friends again and understand why you argue, 3 you'll separate from each other forever.
Why do you argue?
You argue for all kinds of reasons. Your friend's idea is 4 yours about something or your sister always drives you crazy. When you are 5, you may say or do something to hurt others. Arguing with others is quite normal but it's important to 6 it and learn from it
What does an apology mean?
Everybody makes mistakes in his life. Apologizing is a good 7 of admitting (承认) your mistakes. In fact, it's very difficult to say sorry to others. Most of the people think saying sorry means regretting what they've 8 done. But as long as you decide to correct your mistakes, you should 9. It's believed that a good apology needs to show that you're truly sorry, you want to be responsible for what you do and get forgiveness (原谅).
What if (万一) it's not your mistake?
Sometimes the mistakes have 10 to do with you, but another person may force you to say sorry. Be sure to try talking about why you argue at first. If 11 of you still can agree with each other, what should you do? Keep 12 and ask a parent or a teacher for help.
Does apologizing always work?
As far as I know, an apology itself 13 be enough, so try to ask someone else how he felt while you were arguing. Explain your side too, and make 14 clear that you'll try to avoid making the same mistake again. An apology isn't a magic stick. It may 15 people time to understand and forgive.

Tai-chi, which comes from China, is popular with many people. It is a form of physical exercise that trains our mind and body in balance and control. It's slow and calm.

Abing's Erquan Yingyue is a piece which all the great erhu masters play and praise. It has become one of our nation's treasures. Its sad beauty makes people recall their own painful experiences.

June 5 is World Environment Day. Nowadays more and more people are trying different kinds of ways to face environmental problems around the world. What are people doing to protect our home — the earth?
Most people are changing their shopping habits On the one hand, secondhand clothes may be a smart choice. People are willing to buy the secondhand ones to wear in special situations because they only wear them once or twice. On the other hand, there are some companies for renting (租) clothes and renting clothes is cheaper than buying them. So people are able to save money and protect the environment.
Several large companies have begun developing paper bottles to take the place of glass and plastic ones because there are lots of customers worrying about the environment. They think paper bottles have many advantages. The most important is that paper bottles are easy to recycle and weigh less than glass or plastic ones as well.
A zero-waste life is that people hardly create any rubbish. A zero-waste theme store provides a number of everyday, practical and pleasant zero-waste products. The store helps people start on a one-stop, zero-waste life journey. A zero-waste life follows the 6R principle (原则) - Refuse, Reduce, Reuse, Repair, Recycle and Rot.
All in all, the earth is our home and it's our duty to protect it.

Have you ever seen pop-ups (弹出窗口) when you go online?
These days it's common for you to get a pop-up which lets you (put) the App in "teen mode (模式)" every time you begin to use Apps like QQ or Tiktok? A lot of Apps, especially video Apps, have added this feature (功能) to protect teenagers. It's said that it will bring teenagers (good) experiences than before and make sure they're using the Apps in a healthier way. For example, Apps like Tiktok have the feature to prevent teenagers from watching videos for long and with the feature, they might only be allowed (watch) for 40 minutes. The videos that teenagers can watch are made sure to be safe and even educational. There are no advertisements and teenagers cannot pay any m for the videos. In QQ's teen mode, teenagers can only talk to people on their contact lists. (they) chat records show pinyin, which is useful for primary school students.
However, the teen mode does not work for all Apps, a to a recent report by the National Consumer Council. There aren't any (different) between the teen mode and the normal mode in some Apps. And in some video Apps, the teen mode won't start users watch videos for 40 minutes. But users can get past it b clicking (点击) " I know " and continue watching.
Though you can learn a lot from short videos, it's n to control the time.
Once there were four beggars (乞丐). One day, they met at an old temple at night. They were very upset because none of them had much to eat.
"I only got this piece of meat today." the first said. "I almost got nothing," the second said, "I just picked up a potato outside the vegetable store during the day." The third said that all he had was a small bottle of salt. The fourth beggar had not done much better," I only got some old beans, but they aren't very mice! "
As they sat around the fire, the beggar with only a bottle of salt had a great idea" Let's put all our things together and boil them. In this way, we can make a tasty dish and share it." They all agreed. However, the first beggar thought," I don't want to share. I'll just pretend to throw my meat into the pot. They'll never know and I'll eat my meat alone later." So he pretended to put the meat into the pot. And at the same time the other beggars had similar ideas to him. At that time, the temple was too dark for the beggars to see what the others were doing.
Finally, one of them suggested that the dish should be ready and, in turn, each of them helped himself to it. They drank the hot water in silence, learning that selfishness (自私) doesn't taste all that good.
The nature is full of mysteries. When autumn arrives in the United States and Canada, you can see one of nature's, greatest scenes - the yearly migration (迁徙) of the monarch butterflies (帝王蝶).
