You may find that all mountains look blue from far away! Why is that
Sunshine is a mix of red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo, and violet. Each color has a different length of wave (波长). Blue has one of the shortest ones.
Earth’s atmosphere (大气层) is full of tiny air molecules (分子). When light hits them, it gets scattered (散射) around. According to the website HowStuffWorks, light with shorter wavelength bounces like a ping-pong ball until it reaches our eyes. Blue light, which is about half the wavelength of red light, is scattered almost 10 times as strongly as red light. So blue is the main color of the atmosphere.
More distance from a mountain means more atmosphere. Finally, the mountain disappears into the sky as we only see blue light. The same thing happens with tall buildings, too.

More than an event, the Olympic Winter Games Beijing 2022 is also for exchanging goodwill and friendship. The design details of rich elements such as the medals and mascots（吉祥物）serve this purpose successfully. Let’s take a look at these Chinese elements（元素）through the designs and the ingenious（设计独特的）ideas behind them.
Medals
The front side of the Winter Olympic medals was designed with the idea of the Chinese jade concentric circle pendants（同心圆吊坠）in the ancient times, with five rings representing “the unity of heaven and earth and the unity of people’s hearts”. The opposite side of the medals was designed from a piece of Chinese jade-ware（玉器）called “Bi”, a double jade disc（圆盘）with a round hole in the center. There are 24 dots and arcs on the rings of the back side, similar to an ancient astronomical map, which represents the 24th edition of the Olympic Winter Games.
Mascots
Bing Dwen Dwen, the cute mascot of the Olympic Winter Games Beijing 2022, catches attention with the panda’s full-body shell made out of ice. The idea came from traditional Chinese snack “ice-sugar gourd”(tanghulu), while the shell also looks like a space suit—welcoming new technologies for a possible future without limit.
The mascot for Beijing 2022 Paralympic Games is Shuey Rhon Rhon. It looks like an iconic Chinese red lantern commonly seen on doors and streets during Chinese New Year. It is filled with the meanings of happiness, harvest, wealth and brightness.

Man did not have to think about the protection of his environment in the past. There were not many people on the Earth, and natural resources seemed to be unlimited.
Today, things are different. There are too many people on the Earth. We are using up our natural resources too quickly, and at the same time we are polluting our environment with dangerous chemicals. If we continue like this, human life on the Earth will not survive.
Everyone realizes today that if too many fish are taken from the sea, there will soon be none left. Yet, with modern fishing methods, more and more fish are caught. We know that if people cut down more trees, forests will disappear and nothing will grow on the land.
We realize that if rivers are polluted with waste products from factories, we will die. However, in most countries, waste products are still put into rivers or into the sea, and there are few laws to stop this.
We know, too, that if the population of the world continues to rise at the present rate, in a few years, there will not be enough food.
What can we do to solve these problems
If we eat more vegetables and less meat, we will easily get more food. Land that is used to grow crops can feed five times more people than land where animals are kept.
The world population will not rise so quickly if people use modern methods of birth control.
Finally, if we educate people to think about the problems, our living place will be better and cleaner in the future.
The importance of ___11___ the environment

Educate people so that the ____20____ will be better and cleaner.
“Don’t judge a book by its cover,” the old saying goes. Unluckily, as a teenager, that is often exactly what you do to yourself. So it is important to guard against the causes behind them.
Standards of beauty in the media can have a big influence on what you think of your physical appearance. Teens find they are unable to copy the looks of their favourite stars. They will only end up feeling worse about themselves.
Your friends also influence the way you view your physical appearance. If you have friends who are good-looking or have a great fashion sense, it can feel like you are living in their shadow. For children of digital age, social media makes his problem even worse. Your friends may post a “never ending” series of photos online to show off their beautiful dresses or strong bodies, and you will compare yourself to them more easily.
These external influences are always present, but there are certainly ways to deal with them. First of all, be careful not to follow popular beauty standards blindly.
Another tip is to remind yourself that you are unique(独一无二的). Keep in mind that your family and friends love you just the way you are.
You may often judge yourself by what is on the outside, not on the inside. However, like a book, your contents are much more important than your cover. If you can learn to see the good things about yourself—your individuality, your value to others, your achievements—you will soon begin to love yourself just the way you are.

With increasing economic and cultural exchanges between Russia and China, more Russians have got the chance to come to China. Based on their visits to China, some young Russian people have formed their own ideas and opinions about this country which was once strange to them. Below is what three of them share with us about China.
Alisa Topchiy
Topchiy, 23, studies at St. Petersburg State University, Russia. She has been to China twice. Topchiy is impressed most by Chinese food, especially Chinese dumplings. She said that Russians eat meat dumplings, but in China, dumplings can have countless different kinds of fillings(馅料). Once, one of her Chinese friends took her to try some fish and shrimp(虾) dumplings. “They were delicious and exotic,” she said. By being taken to try different dumplings, she has built many wonderful friendships with many Chinese people.
Podareva Anastasia
Anastasia, 25, is a postgraduate(研究生)at Zhejiang Sci-Tech University. She chose to stay in China after the pandemic broke out. She witnessed(见证) how China took measures to fight the pandemic. “I was deeply impressed and moved by the solidarity(团结) and bravery of the Chinese people in the fight against COVID-19. That, to me, is the strength and the charm of this country,” she said.
Maxim Kovalev
Kovalev now studies at Beijing International Studies University. He is most impressed by the WeChat Pay. “It is just easy and quick and trouble-saving. Now, I can’t imagine life without it,” Kovalev said.

The folk art form, kuaiban, which has a long history, can be performed by a group or a single person. With one or two pairs of bamboo clappers—a kind of traditional Chinese musical instrument in their hands, the performers tell stories in the local dialect(方言). These stories are usually folk tales or about social life.
Recently, Liu Jiming and Wan Yifu made and shared three short videos by using kuaiban which were viewed about 4 million times. As a result, Liu and Wan have gained more than 1million followers on the Internet. They’ve created many new works to raise people’s awareness. Some of their works are about the danger of drunken driving and food safety. They also write stories to show respect to people who make contributions, such as traffic policemen.
According to Liu and Wan, people can understand kuaiban pieces without difficulty. The stories told in kuaiban pieces are close to people’s daily lives. Thus, they consider that it is a fun way to introduce the Chinese folk culture through kuaiban. And what matters to them is that both young people and old people begin to know the charm of the art form, kuaiban, which may not be paid much attention to, compared to other traditional art forms.
Folk art forms, like xiangsheng, pingshu and kuaiban, share something in common. These traditional art forms show the beauty and value of traditional Chinese culture so they should be known by more people and get to more areas. Luckily, through the Internet, new performers who go on sharing kuaiban pieces, like Liu and Wan are playing an active role. Hopefully these Chinese folk art forms will be alive with the times.

The Shanghai Free-Trade Zone published a list of talented people who will qualify for (有资格) a Shanghai hukou. Yang Chaoyue, a young idol, has qualified for it, which has brought a lot of heat online. Here are some opinions from netizens.
Wendy: There is a Chinese saying that goes, “Do not ask where a hero comes from.” Yang has become a well-known person in China. Like many, young people making every effort to buy a house in Shanghai, she also works hard. It is her persistent (坚持不懈的) spirit that makes her a success.
Curry: Yang can be treated as a role model for young people. Going from a village girl to a successful star, she made it through her own efforts. Shanghai government has many channels for all kinds of talented people to be accepted.
Walter: It’s too difficult to win the competition for being a permanent resident (永久居民) of Shanghai. People work hard from primary school to university, but still fail. Yang started to work when she was in middle school, but easily became qualified because she is a popular idol. It’s unfair to others. Yang might give the false information that school isn’t important.
Zoe: Talented people with special skills can make great contributions in lots of different fields. However, Yang left school and started to work at an early age. Although she has worked hard, she doesn’t make much of a difference to society. She might give Chinese teens the idea that knowledge is useless when you’re an online pop star.

We feel angry or guilty about the things we did or did not achieve, about the things we cannot have, and many other things. It seems that everyone carries their own bad emotions (情绪). But guilt can’t help us, anger can’t, either. Over time, they can be heavy weights on our shoulders.
These bad emotions don’t do anything good for us at all. So we might ask ourselves—is it possible to put down this heavy burden and have a break Why do we carry them for so long instead of putting them down Can we live without them
It is quite possible. Start by actually looking at our feelings. Think about our bad emotions, and we will find healthy ways to deal with them. Unhealthy behaviors are not the way to do this. They provide no relief. Instead, there are better ways to handle them. One of the best ways is forgiveness.
Forgiveness is a powerful tool. We should forgive ourselves first. We shouldn’t keep bad emotions to ourselves. We must also forgive others who have made us guilty or angry. This is not always easy. But when we learn to forgive ourselves, it becomes easier to forgive others as well.
There is nothing good about carrying years of emotional burdens. By forgiving ourselves and others, we can abandon our burdens and feel better about ourselves. The moment you do this, you will start to feel a lot lighter. Years of heaviness will be magically lifted! You’ll start to feel like you have more energy and you’ll be much happier with your life.

The following are the posts in an Internet chat room. In this chat room, parents talk about some of the problems they have with their children.
Marisa: Is it ever OK to lie to a child My 10-year-old son plays soccer. He’s not very good at it. but he loves it. Yesterday he played very badly. When he finished the game, he asked, “Did I play well ” I said, “Yes! You are a great soccer player!” Did I do the right thing
Bay212: Yes, you did the right thing. White lies are a necessary part of life. Sometimes you have to tell lies that do no harm. Your purpose was to make him feel good. Now he’ s ready to play soccer again.
Bernie: I don’t think there is ever a good reason to lie to our children. Children learn honesty from the examples they see. As parents, we should be honest in order to teach honesty to our children. Every lie requires five more lies. If you keep hiding truth from them, they will not trust you. They will not respect you. Honesty is the first step to a good parent-child relationship.
Missy: You lied to make your son feel better, but you missed a good chance to teach him a life lesson. People should work hard for what they want. Maybe next time you can say, “No, you didn’t play well today. Great soccer players practise a lot. Let’s go and practise.” The truth will make him strong and a good soccer player.
Parviz: Parents should be honest to their children. but they don’t have to tell the whole truth. Next time when your son asks, “Did I play well ” you can say, “What do you think ” Then your son can tell you what he thinks. That way, everything you say is true, and you won’t hurt him.

Have you ever taken traditional Chinese medicine Do you like its taste
Some people dislike it because of its bitter(苦的) taste, but more and more people are becoming interested in traditional Chinese medicine for the reason that it’s an effective way to cure(治疗) illnesses. For example, if you have a sore throat, you could drink hot water with Gancao.
Chinese people have been using traditional Chinese medicine for centuries. Before the western medicine appeared in China, Chinese doctors went to the mountains to pick herbs(草药). Then they made the herbs into Chinese medicine soup to cure patients. When we talk about Chinese medicine, we always think of Li Shizhen, one of the most famous doctors in ancient China. He used to travel in the countryside with a bag of herbs and cure patients. He spent 27 years writing Compendium of Material Medica(《本草纲目》).
In 2020, COVID-19(新型冠状病毒) hit China and many other countries. Ever since then, traditional Chinese medicine has played an important role in the fight against COVID-19. It’s reported that 91.5% of the COVID-19 patients in China received the traditional Chinese medicine treatment (治疗), and it worked well on more than 90% of these patients. In September, 2020, ZhangBoli was honored as “the People’s Hero” for his contributions(贡献). Zhang shared the advantages of traditional Chinese medicine like Lianhua Qingwen with foreign doctors.
In a word, traditional Chinese medicine is the treasure of China.

Let’s say you are taking a walk along the road and you happen to see one or two waste bottles lying on the grass beside the road. What would you do
You may have different choices. Firstly, you can leave the bottles there as they are. It was not you who threw them away. Why should you do something about it This is quite OK. Secondly, you can pick them up and throw them into a dustbin （垃圾箱）. By doing this, you have walked a step further to help make our home clean. This action is a better choice. Thirdly, you might want to pick them up and give them to an old man or woman who collects waste for a living. If this is your choice, you have walked even further. You’re not only thinking about doing something for the environment, you’re also developing yourself to be a person who would think of others and help them.
As for young kids, they may always have such a question: “When do I grow up ”Yes! When does a child grow up And how can a kid know he or she has grown up These are interesting questions. As for us, fifteen-year-olds, who are finishing middle school, we’re no longer younger children. We should know whether or not we have grown up. When we start to have a sense of offering a helping hand for a cleaner city and greener world, and when we have a loving heart to think more of others than of ourselves and are ready to help them, we can say that we have grown up.
Remember: If we help others, others will help us. If we do our best for nature, nature will offer its best to us in return!

※What is fake（假的）news
A growing number of people use the internet to get and share information and share articles. The use of social media also leads to a rise in information-sharing among users, with fake news or misinformation more often appearing on the internet. The spread of this type of information makes social media almost impossible to confirm whether the news or information is true or not. Fake news is even used by someone or some organizations to mislead people. Fake news may seem true at first and try to attract attention, or make a difference to public opinions. However, the sharing of fake news to shape public opinion is not a recent event. Eye-catching headlines or titles used to spread lies have been around since the appearance of print media. In times of digital information exchange, fake news has become even more difficult to control. Fake news can reach everywhere in a shorter time.
※ How to avoid fake news
Although lots of fake news seems believable at first, it’s also easy to find out. If you follow a few of the methods described below, it may become easy to tell real from fake news.
●Check the sender
Make sure who is a sender before you share a post. Ask yourself the following questions, such as How old is their social media account Which types of content are mainly shared
●Check the photos and videos
Photos or videos can be quickly taken out. Be careful with the advertising signs, road signs, or car numbers, and check whether they go well with the picture’s or the video’s locations.
●Check the writer or the designer

When you and your family go out for dinner, have you noticed how many dishes you usually order and how much food is left over
Following the Anti-Food Waste Law adopted in April 2020, China has stepped up its efforts to waste less food by issuing（颁发） an action plan in December.
The plan, issued by the State Council（国务院）, requires reducing food waste through the whole course, not just at the dinner table. This includes crop production, transportation, processing and consumption. It hopes to set up a monitoring（监管）system to reduce food loss and waste, reported China Daily.
In the food production stage, it is required that better crop species（物种）and seeds be carefully chosen to increase harvests. Agricultural machines should also be improved to reduce farming waste. Regarding food storage issues, the plan encourages old warehouses（仓库）to be renovated（翻新）and put to use.
The plan also requires canteens（餐厅）to offer smaller portions（份）, as well as advise customers on ordering and monitoring food buying. Leftovers should be collected for other possible uses, such as animal feed. Videos showing people eating large quantities of food and other related media content that could cause or encourage food waste will be not allowed to be posted or shared.

People use colour expressions to show their feelings and describe the world. Many colour-related phrases are common in our speech. Let’s see where they came from.
The Blues
The phrase is a short form of “the blue devils”, which also stands for sad feelings. This expression is also used to describe a type of jazz music that became popular in the south of America in the 1940s.
Black Sheep of the Family
The phrase refers to a member of a family or a group who is unacceptable. In the old days, the black sheep were sold at a lower price than the white ones at the market, because their fleece(羊毛) could not be coloured. This made the black sheep an unwelcome member of the group.
A Red-letter Day
A Red-letter Day is a day when something really exciting and memorable(难忘的) happens. It came from the practice of marking special western days, holidays, or other festivals in red on the calendar. Today, some calendars still use red numbers for special holidays, even weekends.
Green with Envy
Writers such as Shakespeare in the 16th century used the colour green to stand for envy, but it was the Greeks who connected it with sickness caused by envy. When a person was full of envy, his or her body produced too much bile(胆汁), giving his or her skin a greenish colour. That is green with envy.

Cats love to cram themselves into boxes or whatever other narrow spaces they can find. But why do they do this Why do cats love boxes so much
“This makes sense because side push comforts animals.” said Gabriella Smith, a professor at the University of Veterinary Medicine. This sense of comfort is especially important in stressful situations, such as when a street cat is brought inside for the first time. Dutch scientists noted that the ability to hide was very important in lowering the stress levels of cats that had just arrived at an animal center. They also found that when the cats were taken from the cover, they would turn over their litter boxes to hide.
Scientists did a study to explore that cats would sit inside a Kanizsa contour （错觉轮廓）, a square that are mapped （映射） on a floor. In other words, cats love boxes so much, they’ll even like sitting in fake, 2 D ones.
So how would this behavior benefit （受益） cats One theory is that it helps them avoid dangerous situations. “As a small animal wanting to survive the competitive nature, cats don’t want to walk into things, to fall off a cliff （悬崖）, when two things with different colors suddenly come at a time, they’d better hide and watch before next move.” Smith said.
Another possible explanation is that cats like boxes because they are born hunters hiding and waiting in the bushes. After all, as any cat owner can prove, house cats love to use boxes, corners to hide themselves before jumping on an unsuspecting toy or human. “My cat does it if we’re playing—she’ll hide behind something so that she can jump from nowhere.” Smith said.
And our kitties aren’t the only cats that love boxes. According to zoo studies, big cats—including pumas, lions and tigers—enjoy sitting in and playing with boxes of all sizes.

Cats are ___81___ about boxes. If there are no boxes in the room, they would rather sit in unreal boxes called Kanizsa contour.
