Fu Lei’s Family Letters is a book of letters written by Chinese translator (翻译家) and writer Fu Lei to his elder son Fu Cong, who is a well-known pianist. Between 1954 and 1966. Fu Cong spent a lot of time away from home training as a piano player. As a result, writing letters became Fu Lei’s usual way of communicating with his elder son. Fu Min, Fu Lei’s younger son edited (编辑) the letters and the book came out in 1981.

The book shows Fu Lei’s family tradition and value. To Fu Lei, the purpose of education of a person, is to make that person useful to the society. Fu Lei praised (赞扬) his son Fu Cong after winning a piano competition. Fu Lei wrote, “We are happy because you make your country proud. I am so excited when I think about your future. You will make great progress and serve more people, encourage them and heal (治愈) them.”

In the family letters, Fu Cong was also advised to read famous Chinese texts. When reading these books, Fu Cong was told to connect ideas and feelings together, because that would help him become a better person. To Fu Lei, learning to be a good person comes before any academic (学术的) training.

Fu Lei’s Family Letters has great influence on people in China. The book has been sold more than one million copies in China and has been translated into Japanese and Korean. It helps many young students understand how they should live their lives.

Safety problems greatly affect many parts of the world. In China, safety education is becoming more and more important now. The day of safety education for primary and middle school students falls on Monday in the last week of March each year. It helps students learn more about what they should do to keep themselves safe. What are the accidents at school? Let’s take a look.

A stampede always happens in crowded places. When students around you begin to push, just stand there and try to hold onto something. If you fall down in the crowd, move to one side and protect your head with your hands around.

When earthquakes happen, you can get under a desk quickly and hold on. It’ll protect you from falling things. If you are outdoors, find a place away from buildings, trees, and power lines.

When there’s a fire, leave the classroom quickly. It’s better to put something wet over your mouth and nose. In this way, you won’t breathe in smoke. Many people die in a fire, not because of the fire but smoke. It makes them cough and they can’t breathe. That’s very dangerous! So when you want to get out, you should make yourself close to the floor. Then you can breathe some fresh air. Remember, the most important thing is to stay calm in a fire.

Stampedes, earthquakes and fires are the main accidents at school. If you can remember safety knowledge and survival (生存) skills, you will live a safe and happy life.

Around the world, people are more and more worried about the environment. Many people now prefer products and companies (公司) that care about the earth and cause less pollution. This need for green products has led large companies to change their business.

Before, customers used cheap plastic (塑料) bags, and then threw them away. But now most supermarkets and stores usually provide reusable shopping bags for them. This causes less waste.

They also offer more local products, because less energy is needed for carrying them from one place to another.

To help lower air pollution, big car factories are looking for other ways to control the amount of oil. Cars that use much less oil are very popular. Many companies are also developing fully electric cars. They produce no air pollution at all. Both kinds of cars have another advantage: They are cheaper to run and people don't need to worry about oil prices.

The airline companies face an even greater green challenge. Airplanes use much more oil than cars. So many airlines are now developing planes that can run on some other kinds of oil. They create less pollution and cost less. The companies are also developing a new kind of planes, and some of them use only solar panels (太阳能板) to fly!

Green businesses used to be popular with only a small group of people. But now, more and more companies have to show they care about the environment. Many products are marked “green” in order to look nice. However, people still have to be careful when choosing green products. It’s important to make sure the products are as environmentally friendly as the businessmen say.

Balloons are a symbol of celebration. People love to release (放) colorful balloons for special events (事件), such as f    56     and ceremonies. Colorful balloons may look pretty, b    57     they can bring about some serious problems.

After balloons are released, they can end up hundreds of kilometers away f    58     where they were released, causing great harm to the environment and wildlife. They can fly a    59     everywhere, including waterways, oceans, mountains and farmlands.

Well, in our daily life, there are two types of balloons. Most of the balloons we use are latex (乳 胶) balloons. In fact, i    60     will take them six months to four years to decompose (分解) and they can cause pollution before they do. The other one is Mylar (聚酯薄膜) balloons. They are a k    61     of plastic balloons which can not be decomposed and can stay in the environment forever. Similar to plastic bags, the Mylar balloons break into smaller pieces in the sun.

All of these materials can add to the amount of plastic w    62     in our environment. At the same time, it can result the death of animals. Sea animals, such as whales, sea birds often mistake balloon pieces for food, and if eaten, those pieces can make them h    63     to breathe and then cause them to die. Even worse, some birds are collecting balloon pieces, thinking that they are food, and even f    64     them to their babies

So, don’t release balloons any more in order to r    65     the pollution and protect animals. Small step we take can make the world better, healthier and cleaner.
