A TV program has become popular in China. It has made people all over China become interested in writing Chinese characters (汉字).

The increasing use of computers and smart phones has left most young people hardly able to write by hand. Many of them are even unable to remember the 10,000 characters used in daily life without electronic help.

CCTV started the Chinese Character Dictation Competition to improve the population’s handwriting skills. Contestants (参与者) on the show were school pupils, but it was found that 70% of adults in the audience (观众) were unable to remember how to write the words “chan chu”.

Because computers allow people to type characters simply by entering pinyin, they don’t need to remember how to write them. “The keyboard age has had a big influence on the handwriting of Chinese characters.” Guan Zhengwen, who designed and directed the show said. He added that he hoped to encourage people to keep it alive as an art form.

Hao Mingjian, an editor of a magazine, putting his heart into Chinese characters, said, “Learning Chinese characters goes on throughout your life. If you stop using them for a long time, it is very likely that you will forget them.”

Once upon a time, there was a farmer living in the State of Song. He grew crops (庄稼) in a big field very hard every day. There stood a big tree stump (树桩) in the field. One day, he was working in the field when he saw a rabbit run into the stump, break its neck and die accidentally (意外地).

    66     That night he thought: “There is no need for me to work so hard every day. All I have to do is wait by the tree stump and pick up the rabbit that runs into it.” So from then on he stopped farming, and just sat by the tree stump waiting for another rabbit to come and run into it.     67     Crops died and his field became waste gradually (逐渐地). But never did he see another rabbit run into the tree stump.

    68     They thought he took the accident for the inevitable (必然的).

In the story, this farmer wanted to live a better life by hoping for having unexpected good luck, but he was too lazy and foolish.     69     No one can gain anything if he doesn’t work hard.

Nowadays, people use the phrase “waiting for rabbits by a tree stump” to describe those who just wait and dream of reaping (收获) without sowing.     70     We should also keep in mind that it is a waste of time waiting for something that only happens accidentally in our life. Just come down to earth.

Before the discovery of DNA information in the 1980s, fingerprint(指纹) science was the easiest way to solve serious crimes. It’s believed that each one of us has our own fingerprints. But did you know that our fingerprints could show a lot about us?

According to the expert, fingerprints can show lifestyle and environment, eating habits, possible medical problems and even the job of a person.

So how can we work all this out from just a simple fingerprint?

Well, a fingerprint is formed when a finger touches a surface. Most fingerprints can’t be seen to the eye and require a chemical development process in order to make them shown.

Besides, its use could be much wider. For example, it may be helpful in the future to doctors treating their patients. A fingerprint exam may also tell a doctor whether a patient is properly taking medicine. In the treatment of some of the most serious illnesses, taking proper medicine is important.

In the future, finger print science can be used by the police and help doctors keep us in the best possible health.

A little stream (小溪) ran down from a high mountain through many villages and forests. Then it reached a desert. “I went through so many difficulties. I should have no problem crossing the desert,” she thought. As she started, she found herself slowly disappearing into the sand. After many tries, she still failed. “Maybe I can’t reach the ocean,” she said sadly to herself.

At this time, a deep voice said, “If wind can cross the desert, so can a river.” It was the voice of the desert. But the little stream answered, “That’s because the wind can fly, but I can not.”

“That’s because you can’t give up what you are. Let yourself evaporate (蒸发) into the wind and it can take you across me,” said the desert. “Give up what I am now? No! No!” The little stream could not accept this idea. “The wind can carry the vapor (蒸汽) across the desert and let it leave as rain. The rain will form a river again,” said the desert. “And whether you’re a river or the vapor, your nature never changes.” After hearing this, the little stream went into the open arms of the wind. It carried her to the next stage of her life.

The course of our lives is like the experience of the little stream. If you want to go through difficulties in your life to head for success, you should also change the way you are.
