Carrie is now living in Beijing. She came to China at the age of 7. When She came, she wasn’t very happy. Then all the teachers and her classmates were very kind to her and helped her. Now she can speak Chinese very well, but five years ago, when she first came, she could only speak it a little. She can perform Chinese kung fu a little now, but she couldn’t do it last year. Yesterday was her birthday. She celebrated it with her classmates at home. Carries friends gave her many presents like flowers and cards, and she bought a big cake and lots of drinks for the party. They danced to music, sang songs and played games. Carrie sang a Chinese song and everyone liked it very much. All of them had a great time last night.

I’m a virus(病毒) for the common cold. It has been a long time since I infected(感染) humans last time. Today I tried to infect(感染) a boy in a primary school all day.

His name is Sam. I waited on his desktop, and when he touched the desk I jumped on his finger. Unluckily, Sam didn’t touch his eyes, mouth or nose. Then, right after class, he washed his hands. Now I’m full of soap and sitting in a sink!

Tuesday, January 22nd

This morning I jumped into the nose of Sam’s best friend, Bill. Unluckily, the mucus(粘液) in his nose caught me. I thought it was over for me, when suddenly Bill sneezed(打喷嚏) while he was talking to Sam.

I knew that would send me right into Sam’s face! However, Sam quickly gave Bill a tissue(纸巾), and Bill sneezed into that instead! Infecting people is harder than I imagined.

I’m feeling very unhappy today. Some scientists caught my friend Harry and put him under a microscope(显微镜). Harry is a flu virus and he’s a dangerous little guy. Besides, Sam ate all his vegetables today. He’s exercising, and he’s getting eight hours of sleep every night. His body is too strong for me!

Thursday, January 24th

I tried to infect Sam again today, but he washed his hands five times and never touched his face! He also gave tissues to every student in his class who was sneezing. It’s impossible to give him a cold! So I have to give up and I’m moving to another school.

Most people want to be happy, but few know how to find happiness. Money and success alone don’t bring lasting happiness. Aristotle, a Greek thinker, said, “Happiness depends upon ourselves.” In other words, we make our own happiness. Here are a few suggestions to help you be happier.

The first secret of happiness is to enjoy the simple things in life. Too often, we spend too much time thinking about the future—for example, getting into college or getting a good job. You should enjoy life’s simple happiness, such as reading a good book, listening to your favorite music, or spending time with close friends. People who have several close friends often live happier and healthier lives.

Another secret of happiness is to be active. Many people go dancing or play sports. People can forget about their problems and only think about the activities.

Finally, many people find happiness in helping others. Studies show that people feel good when they spend their time helping others. If you want to feel happier, do good things for someone. You can help a friend with his or her studies, clean up the city parks or help out around the house by doing the dishes.

In June 2013, Wang Yaping took part in the Shenzhou X mission. 2. 这趟旅行已经花费了15天。 Wang Yaping has become the first Chinese teacher in space. She taught Chinese primary and middle school students on Earth physics problems in the zero-gravity(失重) environment. She has prepared for the lecture for a long time.

Wang, born in January 1980, is from east China’s Shandong Province. She was a pilot in the People’s Liberation Army Air Force(空军) with experience of 1,600 hours of flying.

The world’s first teacher in space was Christa McAuliffe, a 37-year-old middle school teacher from the United States, but the Space Shuttle Challenger(挑战者号) disintegrated(崩裂) after 73 seconds into flight on Jan. 28th, 1986. McAuliffe and other six members were killed. “Wang’s lecture was a pleasant surprise to us,” said Zhang Xiaguang, an astronaut in the three members of shenzhou 10 spacecraft. “She did well in whatever she does. Sometimes we’d like to give her a helping hand, but she just would not take the hand in help,” said Nie Haisheng.

Like many young Chinese people, Wang likes photography, music and basketball. She said, “3. We are all students in facing the universe. We are looking forward to joining our young friends to learn and explore the mystical(神秘的) and beautiful universe.”
