At 8, 844, 43 meters high, Mount Qomolangma is the tallest mountain on Earth. While it is famous for its beautiful views, parts of the mountain are facing a problem: rubbish. Every year, thousands of visitors throw away tons of rubbish, such as bottles and plastic bags.

According to the UN, over 140 tons of rubbish has been left on the mountain. To reduce rubbish, China is limiting（限制）the number of people who are allowed to climb up the north side of the mountain. Only 300 people will be allowed to climb it, and only during spring.

Local people cleaned the mountain last year, removing rubbish at a height of 5, 200 meters. They collected about 8.4 metric tons（公吨）of rubbish.

This year, the local government plans to spend 4 million yuan on a new clean-up activity. The local government is also setting up stations to sort（分类）, recycle and break down rubbish collected from the mountain. A group of artists will also try to turn the rubbish into art works. They will show these works of art to remind people not to leave rubbish when climbing the mountain.

Every year, more than 26, 000 children arrive in Britain. We ask some new arrivals what they like best about their new lives and what’s different from home.

An old man walked slowly into a restaurant with his cane （拐杖）. His old jacket and shoes made him unusual that day.

A young waitress named Mary watched him move towards a table by the window. She ran over to him, and said with a smile, “Here, sir. Let me give you a hand.” Without saying a word, he gave her a smile. She pulled the chair away from the table and helped him sit down. Then she put his cane against the table so that he could reach it. In a soft, clear voice, he said, “Thank you, Miss.”

“You’re welcome, sir,” she replied, “I will be back in a moment, and if you need anything, just wave at me!”

After he had finished a good meal, Mary brought him the change. She handed him his cane, and walked with him to the front door. Holding the door open for him, she said, “Come back and see us, sir!” The old man turned around and smiled.

When Mary went to clean his table, she was shocked. Under the plate, she found a business card, a 100-dollar bill and a note. The note said, “Dear Mary, I respect you very much, and you respect yourself, too. It shows the way you treat others. You have found the secret of happiness.”

In fact, the old man was the owner of the restaurant. That was the first time that she, or any of his waitresses, had seen him.

There’s a lot of good news about Chinese volleyball player Zhu Ting.

She was named as the Most Valuable Volleyball Player of the China Volleyball Association for the 2019-2020 season. At the same time, readers can find her story in a children’s book When I Grow Up-Sports Heroes. A British publishing house (出版社) published the book. It’s about how children become sports superstars.

Zhu Ting now plays for the Tianjin Bohai Bank Women’s Volleyball Club. Last season, she helped Tianjin win its 12th top league title (联赛冠军). She is also the captain (队长) of China’s women’s national volleyball team. When she first joined the national team, the 1.98 meter-tall girl found it difficult to move quickly because she was so tall. But head coach Lang Ping trained her to jump high and spike the ball (扣球). Since then, the fighting spirit of the national team has inspired (激励) her. After hard practice, she became a great player.

She used to play volleyball in Turkey and she improved her English there. When she arrived there, she couldn’t speak English well and needed help. But she kept practicing English after her training. After three months, she could easily talk with her teammates in English.

What makes Zhu Ting successful? Working hard and never giving up are the key to success.
