There once was a boy who had a bad temper (脾气). He would often get 1 with other people, even over small things.
His father wanted to teach him a 2 . He told his son that he young boy had to drive a nail (钉子) into a fence (篱笆) in their back yard every time he got angry. Over the next few weeks, the boy learned to control his anger. He knew that it was 3 to hold his temper than to drive nails into the fence.
4 , there came a day when the boy didn't get angry even once. His father took him into the back yard and asked him to 5 out every nail from the fence. After the boy finished, his father said. "As you can see, the fence is now full of holes. It will never be the 6 as before. When you 7 your temper and get angry at others, it leaves a 8 in them, just like the nails in the fence."
The boy learned how 9 angry words can be. 10 they leave your mouth, you can't take them back. The boy decided that he would be kinder to others from now on.
The mascots of the 9th Asian Winter Games in 2025 are "Binbin" and "Nini". The name "Binbin" is taken from the word "Harbin", and the name "Nini" comes from the sound of "Nin". So the two names mean: "You are welcome to Harbin". In the traditional Chinese culture, the tiger is a symbol of good luck and has many good characters, of them, "being strong" and "being brave" are the same as the Olympic spirit.
The emblem (会徽) of the 9th Asian Winter Games in 2025 was created by the team of Tsinghua University. It has the shape of skaters, the flower of Harbin city and the sign of the Olympic of Asia. There are some Chinese cultures in it. There is a Chinese character "九" in the emblem, which means the 9th Asian Winter Games. The creation is also from the Chinese character "合", which means being friendly and getting on well with each other. It shows the Chinese people's hope for getting together, learning from each other and having a good communication with Asian friends.
The slogan (口号) of the 9th Asian Winter Games — "Dream of Winter, Love among Asia" means to make Asian countries join together with ice and snow, create new growth of ice and snow economy (经济), and develop cultural communication between Asian countries. The Asian Winter Games can bring great development for Asian countries.
You must have read or heard of the sad love story between Jia Baoyu and Lin Daiyu. ① But can you imagine the two singing operas in English instead of speaking Chinese?
Jia and Lin are two characters from the Chinese novel A Dream of Red Mansions (《红楼梦》), written by Cao Xueqin (1715—1763). Now the book has been made into an English-language opera. After being performed in San Francisco, the US, the performance came to Beijing, Changsha and Wuhan. ②
Many of the opera's creators (创作者) have backgrounds in both Chinese and American cultures. Their understanding of both cultures helped them change a Chinese classic into a foreign-language opera.
③ It has hundreds of characters. But opera writer David Henry Hwang cut down the number of characters to just seven. Hwang, a Chinese-American, paid more attention to the love story between Jia and Lin and tried to write a tragedy (悲剧) that everyone would understand.
The art director(导演) Timmy Yip, from Hong Kong, tried to help foreign people understand the characters by using costumes and stage decorations. ④ He compared (将……比作) Lin to water and gave her a light green costume. When Lin showed up on stage, there was usually water around her on the stage.
The creators thought the work of introducing a Chinese classic to Western people was worth doing. Hwang told China Daily he was happy to "have made a contribution (贡献) to the land where my parents were born".
"Your victory is not yours alone, but the example of all the girls who don't want to face pots and pans all their lives." —From the movie Dangal.
The movie Dangal is popular in China. Everybody likes this movie and many Chinese people are fans of Admir Khan. In this film, he was a wonderful father, Mahavira Singh Pere,
Mahavira was once the champion of the Indian national wrestling (摔跤) forced to give up wrestling because of life pressure (压力). He hoped that his son could help him realize his dreams and win gold medals in top-level competitions. Bad news was that his wife (妻子) gave birth to four girls. When he thought his dream was broken, luckily he found the amazing talents of his daughters. Then he began to train two of his daughters.
The two girls changed the skirts and cut off the long hair. Every day two girls woke up at 5:00 a.m., and it was pretty early for such two young girls. What's more, they did plenty of exercises, such as running, jumping, skipping, doing wrestling skills and so on. In India, especially in a small village, training girls like this means fighting against the whole world. But Mahavira didn't mind what people thought, he just went ahead.
In the end, both of the two girls became world-class wrestlers.
①changed the skirts ②cut off their long hair
③woke up very early ④followed what people said
⑤did plenty of exercises ⑥fought with all the people in the village
Everyone gets angry. Many things may make you angry. Maybe your teacher gave you too much homework. Or maybe a friend borrowed your favorite video game and then broke it. You may get angry when something doesn't go your way. Maybe you get mad at yourself when your team loses an important game. Or maybe you become a road rager (路怒族) when a driver accidentally cuts in front of you. That makes you angry!
You need to know what to do with your anger. Here are some things you can do when you feel angry:
Count to 10.
Get or give a hug.
Talk to a friend you can trust.
Draw a picture of your anger.
Sing along with the music player.
Take some exercise, such as taking a bike ride, going skating and playing basketball.
Never getting angry is impossible. But when you're angry, you can do something and it can make things better. Don't let anger be the boss of you. Take charge of it!
