【推荐3】Xian Xinghai is a very famous musician in China. He has written many great pieces of music. In his short life, he wrote nearly 300 songs and an opera.

Xian was born in Panyu, Guangzhou in 1905. Because his father died before he was born, Xian had to move from place to place with his mother. He began learning to play the violin when he was 20 years old. At first, his violin was so cheap and in a poor quality that he could not play it well. His friends laughed at him. However, Xian did not stop practicing and soon showed his talent. In 1931, he became the first Chinese student who studied in a special music school in Paris. Before he left, Xian became the school’s best student and won several prizes for his talent.

In 1935, he got back to China and helped fight against the Japanese army. Later, he came to Yan’an to teach music at a college. Although there were no pianos in Yan’an at that time, Xian still wrote some of his most important music there, including The Yellow River Chorus, his most famous work.

In May 1940, Xian Xinghai went to the Soviet Union (苏联) to write music for movies. Life there was so hard that he got very sick. Later he died of a lung illness on October 30, 1945, aged only 40.

Xian Xinghai is such a great man and his music will live on in people’s hearts forever.

【推荐1】Every year there are many people going home on long -distance buses during the Spring Festival and the Tomb-sweeping Day. There are more walkers on their way home or to work on the roads. So there are more and more traffic accidents on the roads. Thanks to the efforts of the traffic police, it is said the number of traffic accidents across China in 2019 was 25.2 percent fewer than that in 2018 during the three-day Tomb-sweeping Day.

Tomb-sweeping Day, is also known as Qingming Festival. It is an important occasion for Chinese to honor their ancestors（祖先）. Most people go home in memory of their ancestors on that day. About 9.78 million Chinese visited cemeteries to honor their ancestors or relatives during the holiday. So transportation safety is a big problem.

On the other hand, it is said Chinese have made 112 million trips during the holiday, up 10.9 percent from last year's holiday. For the traffic accidents, some people lost their lives. This year, traffic accidents caused 10 deaths during the three-day Tomb-sweeping Day.

The fewer traffic accidents are all from the efforts of the police and our government. With the development of society and the government's efforts, I believe everything will change better.

【推荐2】Americans were shocked to discover that the national bird was in danger of disappearing from the skies forever. Studies in 1970 showed only about 1,000, or fewer, bald eagles(秃鹰) in the country.

The major cause of the problem was people. The spread of civilization(文明) destroyed many of the eagles' feeding and nesting areas. And the eagles were being affected by D-D-T and other insect poisons. The poisons were in the animals the eagles ate. They reduced the eagles' ability(能力) to use calcium(钙). This made the outside of the eagles' eggs very thin. Often, the eggs broke before baby birds were developed.

In 1972, the U. S. government banned(禁止) D-D-T. People also became interested in protecting places where eagles live. And stronger efforts were made to carry out laws protecting the birds. Scientists began a program that placed baby bald eagles which were born under human care, into nests of wild bald eagles. Often, the wild birds accepted the babies.

These efforts appear to have been successful in saving the American bald eagles. Today the number of the bald eagles has increased to more than 11, 000.

Bubble tea is from Taiwan, China. It’s like a drink and a snack in one cup. Now, it’s winning fans around the world.

To enjoy bubble tea, you will likely need an extra-wide straw（吸管）. Why? To drink and get a fun surprise! A bubble tea is made with tea, or course. It also has flavorings, creamer, and often ice. ________ There are balls of black tapioca pearls（木薯珍珠）at the bottom of the cup. They’re sweet. Some people think these balls are the “bubbles” that give the drink its name. Others say it’s called bubble tea because of the bubbles on top of the drink. They form when the drink is shaken.

Bubble tea was invented in Taiwan in the 1980s, People loved it. From Taiwan, it spread to other places in Asia. In the 1990s, bubble tea shops started opening in the United States. Now, the shops are on the rise all over the U.S. They’re found in lots of other countries, too.

Thinking of trying a bubble tea? Get ready to face a lot of hard-but-tasty decisions. Some shops offer over a hundred flavors（口味）.Would you like mango or chocolate pudding? Or maybe you're up for cookie dough?

And don't forget about the toppings（配料）! You could go for the black tapioca, of course. But there are plenty of other choices, too. How about fruit or red beans?

You might need a break after making all those decisions. But guess what? A bubble tea shop can be a great place to relax. Young people in some places go to these shops to hang out with friends, play games, or study. So in more ways than one, bubble tea can be a sweet part of life.

【推荐3】Populations of white-tailed deer（白尾鹿）are growing rapidly in many parts of the United States. As populations grow, food becomes a problem. Many deer die of hunger. Others grow up small and unhealthy. In search of food, hungry deer move closer to where humans live. They eat farm crops, vegetables and even trees. Besides, increased numbers of deer near roads can cause traffic accidents.

People admire the grace and fast speed of deer. Most people don't want these animals to be hungry and ill. Should people take action to control the growing deer populations?

*Should People Take Direct Action?

Many people think that hunting（打猎）is the best way to control the animal populations. Wildlife managers will see if there's enough food in an area and decide its carrying capacity（容量）. Then hunters with licenses are sent to help control the number of deer. Hunting is usually not allowed in cities or suburbs, however.

Some people have the idea to catch the deer and move them to other places. But this method is expensive and requires finding another place that can accept the deer without breaking the balance of ecosystem（生态系统）.

Scientists are also working to develop chemicals（化学药品）to control the birth rate（率）in deer populations. But this plan works for only one year at a time.

*Should People Take Indirect Action?

Some suggest bringing in natural enemies of deer, such as wolves, lions and bears, to areas with too many deer. But these animals could also hurt dogs, cats, and even humans. Other communities have built tall fences（篱笆）around areas to keep out the deer. However, this is impossible for farmers.

*Should People Do Nothing?

Some people are against any kind of action. They support leaving the deer alone. Animal populations in an area naturally go up and down over time. Doing nothing means that some deer will die of hunger or illness. But finally, the population will reach a size within the carrying capacity of the environment. So, let nature go its own way.
