When we are reading, we often see one or two graphics (图表) in a text. Have you ever thought about these questions: Why are they there? What information do they give? Do they help with our reading and understanding?   

Graphics are things like pictures, maps, charts and tables. They give information to readers. Very often, we can see different kinds of graphics in books, magazines and newspapers. Writers use graphics to get the readers’ attention and give them some particular (特别的) information. Graphics help to understand the given information in a text. And graphics put the information in a particular order so that it’s easy to understand when we take a quick look.

It is not always true that a picture is worth a thousand words. But many things are easier to show than to tell and they may also be easier to understand. Graphics are just the right things that give a great deal of (大量的) information but it doesn’t take much time to read and understand.

The right way to read and understand a graphic is to look at the picture and the words together. In a graphic, only a few words are used to explain what the picture shows you. Sometimes, numbers and percentages are also given to go with the words to explain things.

Now look at the graphic below. It is how a researcher used a graphic to show the number of hours spent sleeping by British teenagers each day. Can you understand it?

Meiyu, born in 1991, is from Turkey. She is the youngest child of her family. After high school, many people learned English or Japanese, but Meiyu decided to learn Chinese in university. She had learned Chinese for four years in Ankara University in Turkey, and got her name Meiyu there.

Meiyu fell in love with Chinese after going to university. She became more interested after she knew more about Chinese history. In the beginning many people did not understand her decision. But they all said Meiyu had made a right choice when she graduated from university in 2013. Since then, more Chinese have been visiting Turkey. The trade between the two countries also requires Chinese-speaking people. “Speaking Chinese means more job opportunities and you can find jobs more easily.” said Meiyu.

Now Meiyu has been in Wuhan, China for about two years. Besides going on studying Chinese, she shows great interest in Chinese kung fu as well, so she spends her free time on kung fu training with her coaches. Not only can kung fu help improve her health, but she is also fascinated by the history and culture behind it. Meiyu said, “The more I know about China, the luckier I feel to have been here. But the truth is that fun and pain go together in the process of learning.”

Meiyu will graduate in June this year. Her friends want her to stay in China, but her parents hope she can come back home. Meiyu thinks it is difficult to decide. “Even if I go back to Turkey, I will choose Chinese language education as my job,” said Meiyu.

When I was in the seventh grade, I was shy and quiet, so I was easily bullied (被欺负). I used to get very sad about it.

In an art lesson, just while the teacher was out, a big boy took away my pencil case, threw it across the classroom and sat back down. Later on, he took my schoolbag and pulled it towards him. I pulled back the schoolbag from his hand and for the first time, I pushed him away and hit him on the back. In the rest of lesson, I was nervous. I did nothing but imagined what would happen next.

Then the teacher came to me, “Peter, are you OK?” “Yes,” I answered.

“No, you are not. Come to my office after class,” he said.

There we had a long talk. He made me smile and I became confident again. He taught me some life lessons, and said, “Get up, and don’t be a bully (欺凌弱小的人) yourself, but remember you are stronger inside, and if the bullies see this, they will stop.”

I remember these words. From then on, every time I walked to school, I put my head high on the way, and the bullying soon stopped.

I was a schoolgirl in Grade 7 when Danny came to my school and became one of my classmates. He was handsome with blond hair. so many girls in my class liked him very much. Every day, his parents picked him up in an old car. We all realized he was from a poor family. I had a poor family as well, but I just hid it from everyone. I was afraid the kids in my class would leave me if they knew the truth.
One day, Our teacher, Mr. Sims, announced that we would have a field trip. We decided to go to an amusement park. My classmates were excited. I sat back and looked at them, knowing that my parents did not have the money to send me. To my surprise, Danny stood up and said simply, “I won’t go with you, My dad hurt his back and lost his job. I am not asking my parents for money.”
“Danny, I’m very proud of you for understanding the situation that your parents are in.”Mr. Smis replied. “But the trip is at the end of the month, we have plenty of time to raise money for it.” While walking home from school that day, I noticed three boys talking with Danny. I was a little worried that they were giving him a hard time. But as I got closer, I found they were only discussing how to raise money for the trip.
By standing up and admitting（承认）he was poor, Danny changed my life. I no longer felt I had to lie about my family’s situation. As for Danny, I will remember his courage and honesty forever.
