Here is a poster about a volunteer activity in a mountain village.

Green and Rich Life

Teach children all the subjects at the village school from Monday to Thursday. Plant trees from Friday to Sunday. Usually, we plant about fifty trees on the hill at a time and water them in time. Sometimes, we go to clean the river along the village, because some tourists throw some rubbish into it.

You must be at least high school students and strong enough. Then you can have lessons and plant trees or carry water. You must take your bicycles. Most of time, you need to ride. Between some villages, there are only narrow roads.

We’ll provide volunteer clothes for you. When you volunteer there, you can be offered free meals each day.

More and more people in the United States are becoming couch (长沙发) potatoes. This doesn’t mean that they are turning into a kind of food that can be cooked and eaten. It means a person likes to sit or lie on the sofa watching television or watching short videos on their mobile phones. When most people are on their couches watching something, they are also often eating snacks like potato chips. This is the reason why these people are called couch potatoes.

Being a couch potato can have other health risks besides overweight. Because more and more people are sitting in front of a television screen, a computer screen or a smart phone screen, and they do not exercise at all. This is one reason why the heart disease is a leading cause of death in the country. Another problem caused by this is the weakness in muscles (肌肉). There is an effect on people’s mental (心理) health, too. Sitting inside in front of a screen usually means a person is spending less time with friends and loved ones. This can also lead to other problems such as loneliness.

Being a couch potato is not just for adults. More and more kids are being interested in television and the Internet. This is why more and more children have health problems about weight and height. This is why the White House has programs like Let’s Move, encouraging kids to take more part in physical activities.

Wilson is an English teacher from England. He has lived and worked in Baoding for over ten years. Over the years, he fell in love with the city and lived here. The 53-year-old man came here in 2012 and has taught spoken English for years. He helps improve many children’s speaking skills a lot. For Wilson, becoming a member of a Chinese family is a wonderful experience.

Zhu Yixiao, is a native of Baoding. She met Wilson in Beijing in 2012 through work. During the next three years, Zhu often took Wilson to travel around Baoding and taste the Baoding’s specials. Later they got married and started a family in Baoding. They now have two children.

After his children studying at school, as an English teacher, he pays special attention to the city’s education. He’s happy to see the government has made great efforts on education these years. Not only the high-standard infrastructure (基建) but also the high-quality teaching methods have shown the determinations and investment (投入) of the government.

Today Wilson loves the city more and more, “Just as the Chinese poet Su Shi said, ‘Where the heart is at peace, there is my home.’”

It’s really common to make careless mistakes, especially for students. How to stop? You can try the following advice.

Think back to the mistake in time to make sure what caused the mistake first. Mistakes can’t happen without any reason. It you know why the mistake was made, you can correct the problem so that it’s less likely to happen again. As everyone knows, it’s truly essential to learn from mistakes. Only then can we go further.

Get everything you need ready before you start on something. You’ll make fewer mistakes if you get everything ready. Take a few minutes to collect your tools or materials ahead of time. When you start, you’ll be able to focus completely on the task rather than stop to look around for something you need. If you have to look for things after you’ve already started the task, it can take you much longer to get back into the task. Too many breaks can lead to an even greater risk of making mistakes.

Give yourself enough time so that you don’t have to rush. If you leave something to the last minute, you’ll be under pressure to get it done. The stress must easily lead to mistakes.

When does a clear blue sky not look blue? If someone viewed through the eyes of birds, he may see a blue and purple world. Similarly, a rainbow, a leaf, and many other things look different to a bee, because the insect has the ability to. see kinds of light that humans don’t have. Now thanks to a new camera system, people can experience these special color worlds.

Humans have three types of cells (细胞) in their eyes. Their job is to catch the light and send it to the brain to form pictures. Humans are usually able to catch green, red, and blue light, which is known as “visible (可视的) light.” The light combines (组合) into millions of different colors.

To humans, the sky seems blue because we can’t see all the UV light (紫外线) in it. But some animals can see UV light, including many birds, bees and some kinds of fishes. They would look up and see a purple sky. A butterfly that appears yellow to us would be purple and pink to a bird.

To find what other animals can see, a research team developed a device (设备). Inside the device are a standard camera and a special camera that can catch UV light. Then a software can produce videos that show what animals see through them. The researchers hope the tool will provide a new perspective (视角) on the lives. The videos could be helpful for inventions as well. For example, they may be able to help researchers develop windows that are safe for birds.

There was an old lock shop on an old city street. People usually came here to buy locks and keys and sometimes to get the similar keys for their locks.

There was a heavy hammer (锤) in the shop which was used to break useless locks. It often wondered, “What is the secret of these small keys? They can open even such strong locks very soon. But I don’t know how many times I have to hit to open the same lock.”

One day, after the shop was closed, the hammer asked the small key, “How are you able to open even hard locks so easily? Though I’m so strong, I can’t do this.”

The key said, “You use force to open the lock. By doing so, the lock doesn’t open but breaks. I don’t hurt it, but I enter its heart and it will open at once.”

Something similar happens in our life. If we want to win someone’s heart, __________.
