Nowadays, more and more schools in China make rules making students wear school uniforms to school. Parents and teachers think it will make a better learning environment at school, but some students don't like their school uniforms. So what are school uniforms like in other parts of the world?

In Japan, boys in middle school wear uniforms called "gakuran" which have dark jackets with stand-up collars and pants. Girls, on the other hand, wear uniforms called “sailor fuku", which look like European naval（海军）uniforms.

Most schools in England require students to wear school uniforms. Boys need to wear long gray or black pants, white shirts and school ties. Girls have the same clothes as boys, but they can wear skirts or summer school dresses during the summer term.

In the UK, uniforms were the custom throughout most of the 20th century, but now more and more public schools stop requiring students to wear uniforms. They think uniforms make students lose their personalities（个性）.

For children in many African countries, school uniforms can be a kind of pride, or a huge financial burden（经济负担）. Many children have only one uniform, and that may be all the clothes they have.

In a word, love it or hate it, school uniform is a part of growing up for children around the world so you'd better enjoy your school uniform and your school life.

Little stream（溪水）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 a breeze（微风）can cross the desert, so can a river". It was the voice of the desert. But the little stream answered, "A breeze can fly, but I can't."

That's because you can't give up what you are. Let yourself evaporate蒸发）into the breeze, and it can take you across," said the desert. "Give up what I am now? No! No!” The little stream could not accept this idea. "The breeze can carry vapor（蒸汽）across the desert and let it leave as rain. The rain will form again," said the desert. "And whether you are a river or vapor, your nature never changes." Hearing this, the little stream went into the open arms of the breeze.

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.

Note-taking is a skill that can help you do well in all your schoolwork.     40    . But unluckily, most students don't know how to take notes.

Other teachers may not write anything down, but they may repeat them.

Don't try to write down every word in class, or you might miss some important points. Some students really learn better with the help of these notes.

    42    . If your teacher speaks too fast and you can't follow what he is saying, you can ask him after class.

This is such a heart-warming piece of news in the cold winter. Some days ago, the temperature was only—6℃ in Kaifeng, Henan. Someone ordered 50 cups of warm porridge (粥) through Meituan App and noted “Please give the porridge to those sanitation (环卫) workers who are clearing snow on the road nearby and those delivery (递送) men who are delivering food.” When the porridge shop owner received the order, he was moved by the note and provided 60 cups.

The story didn’t end here. As soon as the food delivery man got the big order, he shared it with his workmates so that they could also get paid. Finally, Meituan returned the money to the porridge buyer, Mr. Zhang and gave him a reward of Y500. Although he had to raise his newly-born baby and pay for his house every month, Mr. Zhang said he would surely continue delivering love.

The kind help also encouraged many other citizens in Kaifeng. This summer, volunteers are sending cool drinks every day.

Similar stories have happened in many other places in China. Outdoor workers in different cities are able to enjoy free and caring help. Lots of “love posts” are providing “coolness” in hot summer and “warmth” in cold winter. Just as a citizen of Kaifeng said, “I feel deeply moved and warm in heart.”

In fact, we get love and give love every day. Love delivery makes our life better and more beautiful.
