In order to help teenagers build a strong body, students in Grade 9 have to take part in zhongkao P.E. test every year. To prepare for the test, many junior high school students try their best to train hard.

On April 18, Sun Gao from Hangzhou, Zhejiang finished his P.E. test. After three years of hard training, he got 26.5 points.

“It wasn’t a high score, since many of my classmates got full scores-30 points, but I’m still happy, since I tried my best.” Sun said. “I think the P.E. test is really good for us. By hard training, I am much stronger now.” He added.

Gong Siyu from Chengdu, Sichuan is in Grade 8 now. “I signed up（报名） for an after-school training class. I practice every Saturday evening for two hours, doing pull-ups（引体向上）, an 800-meter run and basketball,” she said. In 2022, when Gong takes the test, the P.E. test will be 60 points in zhongkao.

“I think it’s a good thing.” Gong said. “Health is important, and by preparing for the test, we get more chances to exercise and relax.”

Time passes rapidly with no sound. It has been 100 years since the Communist Party of China（CPC中国共产党） was founded（成立）. There are many stories about the Party and me.

Both my parents are members of the Party. When I was younger, they told me many touching stories about the CPC. The spirits of Jinggangshan and Yan’an moved me so much. From that time, I became interested in the Party.

As I grew up, I learned more. In my eyes, my parents regard their membership in the Party as an important thing. Deeply, they know they should help others. They give away clothes to people in need. The give food to the poor. They help the cleaners sweep the streets. From them, I understand the duty of the Party members.

A few years have passed. I have read lots of books and watched movies that show the spirit of the CPC. What’s more, I have joined in many activities that are about the Party.

Now I am a League member（团员）. I believe I will be a real Party member one day. If I become a member of the Party, I will do what I can to help others. I’m looking forward to that day!

On May 22, 2021, people in China and around the world felt sad because China’s “father of hybrid rice（杂交水稻）” Yuan Longping died.

Yuan worked as a teacher at an agriculture（农业） school in An Jiang, Hunan after graduation. Seeing many people die of hunger from 1959 to 1961, he decided to study hybrid rice.

Yuan spent four years looking for a wild rice strain（品牌） that could be crossed（杂交）. In 1964, he found it!

Yuan put all his life into creating hybrid rice, which ended hunger for millions of people not only in China, but around the world. Hybrid rice is grown in 57 percent of China’s rice fields. It is also grown in over 40 countries, including India, the US and Brazil.

In 2020, Yuan’s team set a new world record in growing hybrid rice.

Yuan was not only a great scientist but also a talented man. He had many hobbies, such as volleyball, swimming and violin.

Though he has left, we will respect and remember him forever.
