"Yes!" Isaid. I told him how things can be sent to our doors now and how Jingdong sendseverything.

I have 6 free time, so I oftencome to the bank, Two years ago, when I was badly injured(受伤), the store owner from whom I buy fruit came to see me.

He asked, "Whywould I want to look at my 8 all the time? I liketo know the person that I met is not just the 'seller'. Does Jingdong send notonly things but also friendship and 9 as well?"

Shadow play(皮影戏), a symbol of Chinese culture, is a famous Chinese art of storytelling. Although shadow play doesn't seem popular as it was, more and more young people start to love it again.
People cut leather(皮革) into a person, an animal or other things as shadow puppets. They are painted in red, white or black to show good and bad characters.
Shadow play is over 2,000 years old. Although there was lots of earlier information on shadow play, it wasn't clearly written in books until the Northern Song Dynasty(朝代). In the Tang Dynasty, shadow play became an art in China and was popular with people. People performed it when they had holidays and festivals. In the Yuan Dynasty, some other countries started to perform shadow play.
During the play, the performers stand behind a screen with a light behind them. They control(控制) the puppets with their hands and they put the puppets close to the screen so that people can see them clearly. They tell the story by singing. In fact, it's not easy to perform shadow play. Sometimes, one puppet needs two or more performers to control so that the show can be wonderful.
Dear Li Wen, I am so surprised and happy to get your e-mail. It's great to hear you are happy, healthy and studying hard. I can see your English is very good now, so I am sure you do not need to study all the time. Of course, you must still prepare for your exam on Wednesday. You always talk about visiting the UK. I am living here again now, so you can visit me this summer. You can stay with my family here in London. I will not have to work because it will be the summer vacation and the school will be closed. So I can bring you to the best places in London. Please accept my invitation. It would be great to see you. You might need to bring some warm clothes, though. Summer in London isn't as hot as that in Beijing. Susan |
Dear Susan, I'm glad to get your e-mail. Yes, I have been practicing my English a lot and very happy to hear you say that it is better now! I would love to visit you in the UK this summer! I do not mind the colder weather — it is very hot in Beijing now! I want to hang out with you, see the city, and speak English every day! I might be able to come for two weeks in July. Is that a good time for you? Li Wen |
Dear Helpers, I'm a middle school student from No. 4 High School. I'm sad these days because I have problems with my friend. Can you help me? My friend, sometimes, asks me for all of the answers to our homework. I refused her, so she got angry. What should I do? Berk |
|
Dear Berk, I had a friend like yours in primary school. We had a fight and ended our friendship. So, if you still want to be friends with her, try to talk with her and be friendly. Tell her that getting answers from other people would only do harm to herself. People learn new things by thinking and solving problems on their own. Nobody else can do that for her. You can help her with her study. You can go over the lessons together, for example. Maybe she won't get angry and will do homework by herself. Annie Green |
Dear Berk, You're right. It's not good to give the answers to your friend. How does your friend usually do in her exams? If she gets bad grades, you could try telling her that she will do better if she does her homework by herself and learns from the mistakes. You could also try to help her with her homework if you have time. But don't just give her the answers. Try to help her work through the problems so she can know what to do. Maybe she just needs a hand. Mike |

Friends are a part ofour lives. In my life, I have a best friend who alot to me. Although we sometimes have different ideas and even fight, we are still the best friends. My life would be less colorful her.
We met each other four years ago. She said hello to me with a sweet smile. I that she was a kind girl. And she was. When I felt sad, she always stood by meand made me feel better.
the winter holiday, we went to the amusement park Happy Valley together. We had fun on the roller coaster(过山车). We held each other's hands and when we were riding the roller coaster. It was so exciting the ride made me feel a little sick(恶心). She bought a bottle of water for me. This experience made our friendship much .
Many parents think kids can't be friends forever. But I don't believe this. My favorite is, "A true friend reaches for your handand touches your heart." Maybe we won't always spend all of our time together. But I will enjoy the time I spend with her and the between us.
During the winter holidays, some of you might spend a lot of time playing video games online. However, you won't be able to do this anymore.
Many parents feel very happy about the new rules. They expect the rules will stop their kids spending too much time on video games. Starting from September 1st, minors(未成年人) have only an hour of playing time between 8 p. m. and 9 p. m. on Fridays, weekends and public holidays. The online game companies(公司) must also make sure that minors use their real names when they play games.
In 2019, it made rules to ask minors to play online games for less than 1.5 hours on weekdays and 3 hours on weekends and holidays.
Some people agree with them, while others are surprised at how strict the rules are. "Children have little control(控制) over themselves, so they need guidance and monitoring(监管)," one user wrote on Sina Weibo. "What if kids use their parents' names and information?" asked another Weibo user. Maybe parents and schools should work together to make sure the rules are followed.
A. There are also some other worries. B. Teachers agree with the rules, too. C. The new rules are quickly under discussion. D. Minors cannot get service at any other time. E. These days, China made new rules that cut online gaming time for under-18s. F. However, this isn't the first time that China has rules about gaming time for minors. |
Almost every Chinese can recite(背诵) the two lines of the famous poem(诗), "Every grain(谷粒)on the plate comes from hard work ". This means we should save the food we have. Saving is also important in Chinese culture. But sadly many of us don't understand the real meaning of these words: Don't waste(浪费) food.
A CCTV program reported that the food Chinese people waste every year is enough to feed 200 million(百万) people for a year. Do we have too much food? The UN World Food Program showed there were about 725 million hungry people around the world in 2021 and about six million children die of hunger every year. If we waste less food, we will have more money to help more hungry children.
Chinese people are famous for being friendly and generous(慷慨). Many even feel that they will lose face if their friends eat all the food on the table. So it's common for the host family to prepare more dishes than all the guests can eat. Luckily, more and more people know the importance of saving food. As students, what should we do?
⒈ Don't order too much in a restaurant. Only order as much as you want to eat. If you cannot eat all the food you order, take the rest of it home.
⒉ Don't leave any food in your bowls when having meals.
⒊ Keep an eye on what food you have at home.
If we don't save food, more hungry people will die. Don't wait anymore! It's the right time for us to get started. Let's save food together right now!
