In my early childhood, I was often surprised when I saw my father making a small amount of money with difficulty. Being a child, I was1to understand him. When I was older, my father started doing a part-time job at home. He used to bring some2 back and work till late night.
I can't 3 he played with me when I was 3 or 4 years old. He taught me how to read when I was 4the age of 5. He took care of me all night when I was sick. Whenever I felt down, he would 5 me up. He also 6 my lessons and often helped me get ready for examinations. Later he sent me to New Delhi for the best education. 7 I needed money, he never refused. He 8 managed money for my studies.
Two years ago, I got a job at a hospital in New Delhi. When I got my 9salary(薪水) which was about ten times more than my pocket money. I 10 it all on myself. I bought a lot of things which I had dreamed of owning for many years.
When I returned home one fine morning. I heard my father 11 with one neighbor. He was telling him my success in the job very 12. He also told him that I had a 13salary than him at the end of his work. A dream, his son should become better than himself came true.
I was unable to move on my feet. Past 23 years flashed into my mind in a moment. I knew my father loved me very much. I could understand the 14my father made in the past. His goal is making his child more successful than 15.
If people around you have had a fever recently, it may not be COVID-19. According to China Daily, many places in China have entered into the peak period for seasonal flu. Influenza A (甲流) is sweeping across the country.
In the past three years, people did things to prevent COVID-19 from spreading, which also prevented the spreading of flu. Thus, people's immunity (免疫力) to the flu went down. Besides, the flu and COVID-19 are different viruses, so getting COVID-19 does not protect you from getting the flu, said Wu Zunyou from the Chinese Center for Disease Control and Prevention.
| Symptoms (症状) of influenza A: Cough Fever above 38℃ Headache Sore throat |
| How to recover? Most people don't need to take medicine. The symptoms can go away after 3 to 7 days. But if the fever doesn't go down after three days, go to see a doctor. |
| How is the virus spread? Through coughs or sneezes (喷嚏). The viruses go into the air. If someone nearby breathes them in, they could get sick. |
| How to prevent it? If you catch the flu, go back to school 48 hours after the symptoms go away. Take vaccines (疫苗) Wear masks Wash hands often Open windows often |

Qomolangma is the world's highest mountain. You may have learned from your textbooks that its height is 8,844 meters. But not all sides are in agreement on this. Different researchers have given different results. In addition, the height of the mountain can change over time.
That's why a 30-member Chinese survey team set out to reach the peak of Qomolangma to remeasure(重新测量) its height on May 6, 2020. They were equipped (配备) with the latest technology, including a global navigation satellite system receiver and a radar (雷达).
It is not an easy task. The average air temperature on the mountain is -29℃ -- four degrees lower than that in Antarctica -- and strong winds blow all the time. In such bad conditions, surveying drones (无人机) cannot work at the peak of the mountain. That's why it's still necessary to send human experts to the peak to get reliable (可靠的) results.
But does a difference of a few meters really matter when it comes to a high mountain?
In fact, measuring the height of Qomolangma is about more than just getting one exact number. Mount Qomolangma is at the point where the Eurasian plate (板块) meets the Indian plate. It formed 38 million years ago as the two plates hit each other. Changes in the peak's height can show whether the two plates are heading toward or away from each other. This can help us understand the movement of Earth's crust (地壳).
The survey team will also get firsthand information about environmental conditions at the top of the mountain. This will help us understand how climate change has affected the Tibet-Qinghai Plateau.
Living and dealing with kids can be a hard job these days, but living and dealing with parents can be even harder.
If I have learned anything in my 16 years, it is that communication is very important, both when you disagree and when you get along. With any relationship, you need to let other person know how you are feeling. If you are not able to communicate, you will drift apart. When you are mad at your parents, or anyone else, not talking to them doesn't solve anything.
Communication begins with the care of another. It means that you can't just come home from school, go up to your room and ignore everyone. Even if you just say "Hi", and see how their day was for five minutes, it is better than nothing. To keep a good relationship, you must keep communication strong. Let people know how you feel, even if it's just by writing a note.
When dealing with parents, you always have to make them feel good about how they are doing as a parent. If you are trying to make them see something as you see it, tell them that you'll listen to what they have to say, but ask them politely to listen to you. Shouting or walking away only makes the situation worse.
Here is an example: One night, Sophie went to a street party with her friends. She knew she had to be home by midnight after the fireworks, but she didn't feel she could just ask to go home. That would be rude. After all, they had been nice enough to take her along with her. Needless to say, she was late getting home. Her parents were mad at first, but when Sophie explained why she was late, they weren't as mad and let the incident go. Communication is the key factor here. If Sophie's parents had not been willing to listen, Sophie would have been in a lot of trouble.
Communication isn't a one-way deal: it goes both ways. Just remember: if you get into a situation like Sophie's, telling the other person how you feel-- listening is the key factor to communication.
Do you sleep well? If your answer is no, the following might help you.
A certain bedtime and rising time can help you build up your body clocks. Set a bedtime which is good and natural for you. Don't change your bedtime and rising time on weekends.
Your body usually lets you sleep only the number of hours it needs. You should decide how many hours you must sleep in order not to experience daytime sleepiness.
A twenty-minute warm shower at a temperature of about 45-50℃is not only a great relaxation at a day's end, but also raises your body temperature by several degrees. The coming drop in the temperature of your body will naturally make you feel sleepy.
Exciting activities get your thoughts running. At the same time, if you make tomorrow's plan or read an exciting story before turning off the light, it won't give you enough time to relax before you try to sleep.
It's a bad habit for you to use your bedroom as a place to eat, watch TV, read, talk on the phone, or discuss important matters with your family members. Break that habit to get better sleep.

Everyone in our school knows Jimmy, the Bike Boy. He is a lovely and warm-hearted guy. He often collects bikes that people don't use them any more to fix up and then gives them to people who need them.
Last week he was down because he spent all his money old bikes. We really wanted to cheer up Jimmy. On Monday we told a radio interviewer that Jimmy had used up money to buy old bikes. We also put up to ask for old bikes and called up all our friends and told them the problem. We even gave out ads at a local supermarket. Then we also told the teachers at school about his problem and they set up a call-in center for parents.
, the ways that we came up with worked out . He now has sixteen bikes to fix up and to give them away to the children who don't have bikes.
There was an old man. He lived in a beautiful house in the country. As he got (old), he had to sell his house and move to the old people's home. That's because he had trouble (take) care of himself.
Many people wanted to buy the beautiful house. The price of the house (rise) day by day. the old man didn't sell it to any one of them. He grew flowers in the garden and drank tea on the balcony as (usually).
One day, while the old man (drink) tea in the sun, a simply dressed young man came over. "Sir, I really love your house. It's my dream home. I want to buy it, but I have only a little money. Would you please sell it to me?"
"But someone else wants to pay money," answered the old man.
"I know, sir. But if you sell it to me, you can still live in the house. you like, you can read newspapers and drink tea with me. I will look you and make you happy."
At this time, the old man smiled and said, "OK, young man, now you can have it."
Sometimes, success just needs a loving touch.
