Do you use emojis (表情符号) on WeChat Emojis are so interesting that people from all over the world can understand them. But in fact, emojis have different 1 in daily life, which is what I have recently learned.
Take the 2 emoji—the smile as an example. At first, I thought it was just a normal and friendly smile. But later, I 3 it could mean something different. It can mean that someone is looking down on you or laughing at you. Although the emoji is smiling, the eyes are looking downwards 4 looking face to face, which makes it look like a fake (假的) smile.
What about the smiling face with a waving hand It 5 looks friendly enough. But at first I thought it just meant good-bye. Actually, it has another meaning. Many Chinese people use this emoji to 6 their idea that they don’t want to talk to you any more, and the waving hand means “never talk to me again”.
Besides, the meanings of some emojis are also 7 . One of my favorite emojis is the “Laugh-cry” emoji. At first, it meant “rolling on the floor laughing (捧腹大笑)”. But over the years, the meaning is different. It is often used to describe 8 that are so bad that you can’t help but laugh to cheer yourself up.

An American boy said he didn’t want an 11th birthday party because he had no friends. But now he is getting something exciting—to be a professional hockey (曲棍球) player.
Colin and his family visited players and coaches of the Kalamazoo Wings at a restaurant this week. Colin said, “I knew we were going to the restaurant, but I was not expecting the rest.”
The team provided the boy with a one-day contract (合同). It will allow him to join the Wings for their game on Sunday.

Dear Kate,
There are a number of reasons for your depression and the most important thing you can do now is to see a doctor. If you cannot do that through your family, go to the school doctor and ask for help.
Before you go, make a list of your symptoms (症状). If you understand the reasons for your feelings and behavior, you can begin to find out good solutions. And you should not do that again.
Your friend is worried about you, and that friend can help you make a full list of symptoms and questions for the doctor. I’m sure you can find an adult. The adult should care about your problem. I hope my suggestions will help you a lot.

四、任务型阅读
A while ago I sent out a couple of hundred letters for information on subjects that interest me. One of the questions I asked was “When you think of love, what color comes to your mind ”
One person said “money”. I didn’t know what color that was, maybe green, but I wasn’t sure, so, I didn’t give it a color. Two people said love didn’t have any color. Two other people said love was the color of the rainbow. That’s a nice thought. Now only 3 people chose red as the color they thought of as love. This surprised me, since that is the color used most on Valentines’ Day (情人节). I guess passion doesn’t necessarily mean love. There was a tie of 4 each for white and yellow. I can understand wanting a pure love (white) or a wise and happy love (yellow). Pink is the choice of 5 people who I think need beauty in their lives. Six people said either lavender, lilac (紫丁香) or violet was the color of love. I think all of them want some magic and mystery in their love lives. Green was the color chosen by 7 people as the color they thought of as love. These people must want a balanced love and maybe some money too.
The most surprising answer was that 14 people picked blue. I think these people may know about love. Love should be sincere and true. Maybe if you have “the blues”, it is because you don’t have love. Most blues music is about lost love. Maybe blue is the color of love. I just can’t see sending a blue heart to my lover next Valentines’ Day.
This little survey is not scientific, but it is very interesting. Did you know not all people dream in color Well, I hope everyone makes sure to daydream in the most wonderful and wild colors possible.
