Tom was good-looking, but he got angry easily. He often shouted at his family. He liked laughing at others' looks. And he never used 1 words like "please", "thank you" or "sorry".

One day, Tom was playing outside. An old woman 2 to ask him the way to the park. Tom shouted at her, "Go and ask someone else! Don't you see I'm3 ? "Feeling unhappy, the old woman decided to teach Tom a lesson. She said, "From now on, scars(疤痕)will appear on your4 whenever you say bad words. "Tom laughed, "It's no use saying scary words. I'm not a little baby. "

That evening, Tom shouted at his mother because he didn't like the food for dinner. 5 , a scar appeared beside his nose. Then he ordered his brother to pass him a fork. Another scar appeared next to his mouth. "What's wrong with your face, Tom? " his sister asked6 . 

Thinking of the7  woman, Tom lost control(失控)and said many bad words. Then he rushed to his room and looked at himself in the mirror. His face was full of scars. He felt sad and started 8 . He knew his mistakes. 

Then his parents came to his room. "Could you please leave me alone for some time? " said Tom. 9 he said the word "please", one of his scars disappeared. That made Tom10 . He started being polite to others the next day. Slowly, all his scars disappeared. 

Peter is eight years old. He doesn't like getting up early in the morning. He is often late for school. Peter's mother is not happy about this. One day, his mother gave him a clock and asked him to get up at 7 o'clock in the morning. After that, Peter can get up earlier. But one morning, the clock didn't work and Peter didn't get up at 7:00. His mother entered his bedroom to see him. Peter was in bed and his eyes were open. 

"Why don't you get up? "His mother was unhappy.

"Because I didn't hear the clock, so I'm waiting for it". Peter answered. 

There are many classic cultures in China. All of them have a very long history. Here we introduce some of them. 

Once upon a time, there was a girl called Jenny. She liked playing football with the boys in her class. And she never liked to do what other girls did. 

Jenny was welcome among the boys in her class because she played football better than many of them. However, Jenny's girl friends began to stay away from her. Jenny felt sad and she didn't understand why. One morning, on her way to school, Jenny saw her friend Linda and decided to talk to her. 

"Linda, why don't you want me to be your friend any more? "asked Jenny. "You play football with boys. It makes you look like a boy, " said Linda.

Jenny was a little angry. She said, "I play football with the boys because I like the sport. But I also like to play with you and that shouldn't be a problem. "

Days passed. One morning, Jenny was playing football with two boys when Linda came to her. "Jenny, I have been thinking about what you said these days. You're right. I should respect your hobby. I'm sorry, Linda said.

Jenny's friend learned to respect her hobby and understood that there is no sport just for girls or boys. You can do the sport as long as you like it. 

Japan started putting nuclear-contaminated water(核污染水)into the ocean on August 24. History will never forget this day. 

A tsunami(海啸)hit the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power plant(福岛第一核电站)in Japan in 2011. It broke the nuclear reactors(核反应堆), so the reactors became very hot. Since then, workers have been using a lot of water to keep them cool. The water touches the reactors, so it has a lot of radioactive materials(放射性物质)

Nuclear wastewater(核废水)is different. It's the waste from a normal power plant. The rules on whether or not the wastewater can be put into the ocean are clear. So processed(处理过的)nuclear wastewater is often seen as safe. But nuclear-contaminated water is not. 

Japan tries to mix the idea of the two kinds of water. The country says that the contaminated water goes through a special purifying process(过滤程序), and that it doesn't hurt people's health. However, the water has more than 60 kinds of radioactive materials. Many of them are still umprocessed. 

"The materials will in the end hurt people's health, Japan let loose(释放，放任)them. "Wang You, a Chinese ocean scientist, told CCTV News. 

China started to stop buying seafood from Japan on August 24. Restaurants must not buy or use such seafood. As of August 28, both Russia and Thailand said that they were testing the seafood from Japan. 

Do you know Qin Xiaoya? She is a virtual figure(虚拟人物)who plays a young role in Qingiang Opera. The figuremany people's attention since she finished her first show in an art festival. 

In June 2023, the Ninth China Qinqiang Opera Arts Festival was in Xian, Shanxi. Qin Xiaoya first perfomed Qinqiang Opera with rock'n'toll. That lots of young people and they all praised(称赞)"How creative it is! "

"To make lively, we designed(设计)her and actions according to real opera performers with 3D technology, "said Zhang Xi, one of the in the design team of Qin Xiaoya. However, it is never easy to such a figure. The role Qin Xiaoya plays has many expressions, and the figure has to show them exactly. "So it comes to the figure's painting design, model making and so on, excellents kills are required, "Zhang said.

As we see, the design of Qin Xiaoya is successful. But Zhang and his team are still working hard to make the virtual figure  than before. They hope to make her a  for Qinqiang Opera art, and she is expected to talk with people online about the art some day.
