Shadow puppetry, or pi ying xi, is an ancient form of storytelling and entertainment (娱乐) in China. It has been an important part of Chinese culture.
Shadow puppetry dates back to the Han Dynasty, more than 2,000 years ago. When Emperor Wu’s favorite wife died of illness, the emperor became very sad. One of his ministers came up with an idea to cheer the emperor up. That night, he cut a puppet (木偶) in the shape of the emperor’s wife and put on a performance. It was so wonderful that the emperor felt that he saw the spirit of his love. Shadow puppet shows became very popular during the Song Dynasty. People celebrated festivals and holidays by putting on shadow puppet shows.
It’s said that the puppets were first cut out of paper, but later made of colored leather (皮革). One mouth tells stories of thousands of years, and a pair of hands brings millions of puppets to life. This is how a puppet artist works. However, being a puppet artist is never easy. In order to make the puppets look like real ones, puppet artists must spend long hours watching and studying how people and animals move. They usually practice many times before a show. In a show, performers hold puppets behind a white cloth and make the puppets move naturally. They use both hands while performing and have to change their hands from time to time.

A primary school headmaster in China has become the latest Internet celebrity(名人)for showing some cool moves during a morning exercise with his students.
Every morning, 40-year-old headmaster Zhang Pengfei at the Xi Guan Primary School in Linyi County, Shanxi Province(省)would lead about 700 students on the playground in ghost dance. The brave headmaster thought the fun and energetic exercise would better encourage students to get active instead of being interested in their mobile phones.
Students do the school’s new 30-minute dance instead of the common morning exercises, which is a short exercise that has been a requirement at every primary, middle and high school in China since 1951. “I thought we needed a change because the students have been losing interest in doing the common morning exercises,” Zhang told Southern News, “I thought the dance would be great for kids.” In October, he introduced the magical dance to all of his students and shortly after, even teachers were joining in. All of them like the magic dance.
The video quickly went popular on Chinese social media, with a Weibo topic page titled “Headmaster Leads Students in Ghost Dance”getting 250 million views. “This is the coolest headmaster ever! I wish he would teach me,” millions of users think the ghost dance is not only full of energy, but also it can give people the happy feelings. Since the new dance is so amazing, why not consider joining them

An air conditioner(空调) makes us cool in summer and warm in winter. Such a machine must be hard to make, right Students from Northwood Middle School decided to make some by themselves.
After a week-long lesson on heating and cooling, about 230 students at Northwood were given a challenge: to build their own air conditioner in just a few hours. With limited materials like copper tubes(铜管) and small pumps(泵), students teamed up, made a plan and began building. To support the students, teachers also gave their own lessons on heating and cooling. The history of air-conditioning was taught in social studies; the heat index(指数) was taught in math; language art taught students how to write reports about their production. For science teacher Marcy, the production showed how far her students’ creativity could go.
“I think the whole goal was for them to design with their own ideas,” Buchanan said. To her, most students did a better job than she expected.
After a few hours of work, all kinds of cooling machines came out one after another.
“This is awesome,” Makkiaka, a student, said. “It feels great to work together to solve our problems and create some new things that can actually make a difference.”

My name is Susie Thompson, and I’m fifteen. I’ve been at River School, London since I was eleven. If I pass my exams next year, I’ll stay here until I’m eighteen.
River School is a secondary school, about twenty minutes from my home by bike. Before I came here, I went to the primary school near my home. I started primary school when I was five and stayed there for six years.
We go to school every weekday from 8:45 am to 3:15 pm. Before class, our teacher checks which pupils are present or absent. Then everyone goes to the main hall. There, our head teacher tells us news about the school. At 9:05 am the bell rings, and lessons start. Each lesson lasts (持续) for an hour. We have a break from 11:05 am until 11:15 am, then another lesson, and then lunch for an hour. In the afternoon, we have two more lessons before school finishes.
This year I have ten subjects: math, English, physics, chemistry, French, history, geography, music, IT and PE. Some people learn German instead of French. It’s lucky we don’t have exams in every subject.
We have a large sports ground for football and tennis, where we can play both during and after school hours. After-school activities such as sports clubs and language societies are popular too. During the school year there are usually visits to museums and to camps for activities such as climbing and walking in the country. Last year a group of us even went to Japan. There are parties and a sports day, and school plays are really popular. Once a term, there is a parents’ meeting, so our parents and teachers can talk about our progress.
What do I like best about school English, chemistry, music, sports clubs, school plays … and above all, my friends!

Lucy, a nine-year-old little girl, grew up in a small village near a forest. She liked feeding birds bread and knew a lot about them.
One summer morning, she was listening to birds’ joyful singing when she heard a sharp whistle （哨声） not far away. It wasn’t a friendly bird’s whistle but a whistle of a person.
“Hello, little girl,” a young man greeted cheerfully. Lucy looked up into a face of a tall young man carrying a gun. Then the young man explained that he was a scientist, who collected birds.
“Do you put them in a cage ” Lucy asked. “No,” he answered slowly, “I shoot them and keep them with special chemicals （药剂）. I have over 100 different kinds of birds from all over the United States at home.” Lucy felt surprised to hear that. “I have been looking for a heron （苍鹭） not far from here. It’s a tall, white, strange bird with long thin legs. It often lives at the top of a tall tree. Have you seen it I will give ＄10 to the person who shows me where the white bird is.” said the man.
Lucy’s heart began to beat fast. She knew that strange white bird! She had seen it on the other side of the forest. She remembered how the white bird came flying through the golden air every morning.

There are many stories about bats (蝙蝠). People in Europe once feared bats. They feared them maybe because they looked scary. Or maybe it was because they only came out at night. But people in Persia and China weren’t afraid of bats. To them, bats meant good luck, long life and happiness.
People used to think that bats were birds. Today we know that bats are mammals (哺乳动物). They are the only mammals that fly. Like all mammals, bats are warm-blooded. They feed their babies milk. Bats live all over the world, except where it is very cold. Most bats live near the equator (赤道).
There are over 900 kinds of bats. Both the largest and the smallest bats live in Asia. The largest bat is the flying fox. It weighs about two pounds. The smallest bat weighs less than 2g. Most bats are just big enough to fit into your hand.
Most bats eat insects. In fact, they eat millions of insects a year. This makes them very helpful to humans. Some bats eat fish, birds, frogs and small mammals. Some eat fruit and drink nectar (花蜜). These bats often carry their food to their homes. Along the way they drop seeds. This helps spread plants to new areas.
The vampire bat (吸血蝠) is perhaps the most famous bat, but it doesn’t attack (攻击) people. It drinks the blood of some animals. This bat is found only in Mexico and Central and South America.

Do you often play Kuaishou In recent years, with the development of technology, many popular apps (应用程序) have been produced. These days, an app has caught great attention. It is Kuaishou, a video sharing app. Kuaishou first appeared in 2012. Now it is many people’s favorite app, especially the young.
With Kuaishou, users can record videos, edit (编辑) them and share them online. It is very easy and interesting. We can share our videos with our friends with just a tap on the mobile phone screen. What’s more, it’s a great way to spend our free time by looking through those funny videos.
However, every coin has two sides. The app also has bad things. On the one hand, some people spend long hours on the app, which is harmful to their health. On the other hand, users can also find some bad things on the app. Such things are unhealthy and unsuitable.
In my opinion, Kuaishou should check the videos before they are uploaded (上传)in order to keep a healthy environment for its users. As teenagers, we should not use it too often.

Arctic fox(北极狐) is a kind of small fox that lives in the Arctic. It grows about 50 cm long, not including its tail, 30 cm tall and weighs from 3 to 7 kilos.
The Arctic foxes are white or blue in color. The white ones are white in winter, but gray-brown in summer. The blue ones are blue-gray all year round. The Arctic foxes have long, thick hair that is called fur. And the long fur covers their whole bodies, including both their cat eyes and rabbit feet, to keep them warm in the low temperature in the Arctic.
The Arctic foxes feed mainly on birds, birds’ eggs and other small animals. Teamwork is the way they look for food, and they don’t like to do that alone.
Baby Arctic foxes are very lovely. They don’t open their eyes until a week after their birth. For the first half of the year, their parents offer them food. They begin to look for food on their own when they are about six months old. The next year they can live alone.
Today the number of the Arctic foxes is becoming smaller and smaller, because people kill them for their fur to make beautiful coats for money. Something must be done to protect the Arctic foxes.

We live in Bedford, a town near London. My father is a hard-working pilot, so he doesn’t have much time to look after us. When I was a kid, my mum liked to make breakfast food for dinner every now and then. And I remember one night in particular, when she had made breakfast food after a long, hard day at a hospital.
On that evening so long ago, my mum placed a plate of eggs, sausage and terribly burnt biscuits in front of my dad. I remember waiting to see if anyone notices. Yet all my dad did was reach for a biscuit, smile at my mum and ask my brother and me how we had been doing at school. I don’t remember what I told him that night, but I do remember watching him put butter and jelly on that biscuit and eat every bite!
When I got up from the table that evening, I remember hearing my mum apologize to my dad for burning the biscuits. And I will never forget what he said, “Honey, I love burnt biscuits.”
Later that night, I went to kiss my dad good night and I asked him if he really liked his biscuits burnt. He wrapped me in his arms and said, “Your mum is really tired after a hard day’s work. Besides, a little burnt biscuit could never hurt anyone. We have been married for 17 years. She always cooks for me. Don’t put the key to your happiness in someone else’s pockt but into your own.”
