A 12-year-old girl from Virginia, US, never thought that a simple message she put online could bring her big problems. She posted the words,"Killing. Meet me in the library Tuesday”, with three emojis（表情符号）of a gun, a knife and a bomb (炸 弹 )on Instagram, a social media (社 交媒体). She was told that she broke the law because of threatening （威胁）her school.
This problem is not far away from us. Not long ago, Ni Hanxiang, a Chinese student at university in the US, was sent back to China after expressing on social media that he would kill his teachers if he failed to pass his exams.
In China, posting threatening words online is also against the law. In 2013, Wu Hongfei, a singer, got into trouble for saying on weibo that she wanted to blow up a building.
"Threatening happens not only face to face but also through the Internet, social media and the telephone,” said Mr.Cao, a lawyer from Chongqing."Although the law of China protects people's right of free speech, it doesn't include words that threaten others' lives and national safety."
"Some people may not mean to threaten. They may just be trying to say 'I'm strong’,” said Fred Pratt, a lawyer from the US.
The girl's mother said her daughter was a good kid who had never been in trouble before. Ni Hanxiang also said he didn't realize that what he put online was so serious.
"But not knowing the law doesn't mean the law will treat you any differently if you break it,” says David Allen Green, a lawyer from the UK. So, do you think we'd better spend a minute or two thinking about the words or emojis we use on social media before we press "send"?

When Kearney entered a bank and told a bank teller to put money in his plastic bag, his other hand was in his pocket to make it seem like he was carrying a gun and shouted he had a gun. One bank teller started laughing and told him there wasn't any cash(现金) in the bank, and another bank teller made fun of him. They didn't believe that he had a gun in his pocket although he said so. One teller told him that if he wanted to steal money, he should first put some money in the bank. The other told him how to open a bank account and save money into it.

【推荐1】In the UK, most children have their lunches at school, but in some schools, parents can choose what their children eat. The children can have a school dinner—a hot, cooked meal, or they can take a packed (包装的) lunch with them, which usually includes cold food like sandwiches.
Often parents know what their children want, Cathy, mother of three children, told us, “My children have packed lunches because they say they hate school dinners. So I make three packed lunches every morning.”
However, another mother, Susan, made a different choice. She said, “My daughters have always had school dinners. I think they probably get healthier food at school than a few sandwiches I make for them.”
But how healthy are school dinners? Kaz, a father, said, “Fizzy (起泡的) drinks were offered and I think there were a lot of chips.”
Jamie Oliver spent a year working in a school kitchen. He was worried about the unhealthy food which included burgers, pizzas and chips. So he improved the school dinners, and trained the dinner ladies to cook healthy food such as stews (炖煮的菜) and curries in that school. Then he advised the government to improve school food across the country. And it seems that the changes have begun.
Anna, a pupil, told us, “We used to have fast food like chip and coke, but they stopped that this year. There’s a salad restaurant, which is good, so it’s healthier than it was.”

【推荐2】When a teen and a parent argue, it does not mean that something is wrong with their relationship. It just means that they see things in different ways. Parents of teenagers should realize this kind of arguments happens in almost every family.
In the early years of children’s lives, parents are the most important people in their world. Their love and support mean a lot to children. As children get older and have more contact with people other than their parents, their behaviors will be influenced (影响) by other people.
Building up Independence
As teens build up independence, parents need to understand a number of points. They are still the most important influence in their children’s lives while teens are trying to become adults. One of their greatest difficulties is becoming independent while keeping a loving relationship with parents.
Fighting for Control
When children are young, many parents keep control over most parts of their children’s life. These parents choose their children’s clothes, friends, hobbies and so on. As children grow older, they realize they can never grow into adults without having control of their lives. As a result, teens begin to fight for control. In this period, even a simple topic can trigger a disagreement. Topics that cause the greatest stress in a family include family rules, responsibility and so on.
In fact, teens are still worried about losing the most important thing in their lives the love of parents. At the same time, parents may feel hurt about teens’ abilities to care for themselves. It is stressful because everyone cares so greatly about each other.
____
_____
What are some ways parents can begin to break the cycle of disagreement with their teens? First of all, be aware that teenagers must become independent to become adults.
If becoming independent is the task of children, then the task of parents must be to help their children reach independence by allowing them to walk (and fall), talk (and make mistakes) and slowly take control of their lives.
Also, parents should try to keep the communication lines open and be a good example for their teens to follow. Sometimes parents may need to learn new ways to deal with their own problems, instead of allowing the teen's fight for independence to get mixed up with their questions.
1. Why do parents and teens argue with each other?| A．They don’t love each other anymore. |
| B．They don’t see the world in the same way. |
| C．Teenagers want to live a totally independent life. |
| D．Teenagers don’t care about parents’ love and support. |
| A．fill with | B．come along | C．lead to | D．set out |
| A．Becoming Adults |
| B．Solving Disagreements |

During Beijing’s two sessions (两会), many proposals and suggestions were referred to. Here are three problems that might interest you. | |
Smartphone ban (禁止)
| According to the survey made last year, 68.1 percent of Chinese school students have their own smartphones. Lei Yanqin, a deputy of NPC, suggested that smartphones should be banned at schools nationwide. She said that listening to music and playing games in class not only disturb teachers, but also make it difficult for students to listen carefully. She added that students might also show off (炫耀) their phones too much. |
New uniform designs
| Most junior high schools in China require students to wear a uniform. However, only three in ten students are satisfied with their uniforms, as they think they are old-fashioned and of poor quality, China Education Daily reported. The Revolutionary Committee of the Chinese Kuomintang Central Committee suggested that the uniforms could be redesigned. The committee said the new design could include more elements (元素) of traditional Chinese culture. They added that better quality clothing should be used to make the uniforms so that they will be more comfortable to wear. |
Video game rating system
| Over 200 million teenagers across China play online games like King of Glory, Guangming Daily reported. With their computers and ipads, teenagers are able to play most online games produced in China and abroad. However, some violent games might not be suitable for young people. Many NPC deputies suggested that a rating system (分级制度) for online games should be introduced. All games would be sorted into age groups according to their content. Players would have to provide their ID numbers before playing certain games. |

China issued a regulation prohibiting(禁止) minors(未成年人) from getting tattooed(纹身), which took effect on 6 June, 2022.
“Minors will not be allowed to get tattooed even if their parents agree with them,” the Ministry of Civil Affairs said. “As minors are persons with little or no civil capacity, getting tattooed is beyond their understanding,” the ministry said.
According to the Law on the Protection of Minors, the nation and the whole society are responsible for helping minors understand the risks of getting tattooed. “Parents and guardians(监护人) must protect the physical and mental health of the children,” the ministry said.
Here are some of the rules:
●Parents who run their own parlors(店铺) are also forbidden to tattoo their children.
●Enterprises(企业), organizations and individuals(个人) are banned(禁止) from offering tattoo services to minors.
● Signs displaying the rules should be placed in prominent areas at tattoo shops.
●Tattooists should check identification(ID) if it is difficult to determine the age of their customers.
●No advertisements promoting tattoos are allowed to appear in the schools or in publications such as books and magazines.
●Violations(违反) of the ban can be reported to civil affairs, business, health and market inspection departments. Punishments will be carried out accordingly.

The United Nations lists the rights of children. Most countries agree with all of them, but some countries don’t. The following are some of the most important rights of children:
Children have the right to be properly fed, clothed and looked after by their family. If their family cannot do so, the government should take responsibility.
Children have the right to get education, development and medical care, which should be provided by the government.
Children mustn’t be tortured by their parents or others. They have had self-respect(自尊心).
Children have the right to expect the government to protect them from all kinds of hurt and neglect(疏忽).
No child under fifteen should be made to fight as a solider.
Children have the right to be protected from being made to work too hard to make money for other people.
In some countries children don’t have these rights. Many young children are made to work long hours in factories and on farms. In some countries there are so few schools that only rich children can get education. There aren’t enough doctors or nurses to help children when they’re sick, either.
The rights of children are the rights people think children should have. They’re not always the rights children really have.

【推荐3】Separate dining is common in the western culture, while in China’s dining culture, whether dining at home or eating out, a grouped dining system is used in most situations.
However, the COVID-19 pandemic(大流行) has challenged the deep-rooted Chinese dining tradition of sharing dishes together, which makes the government, restaurants and citizens rethink about eating customs.
Standards on dining came out on March 18. Here are the main points.
Individual diners’ food should be served to customers in separate tableware.
Each shared dish should be served with a separate pair of serving chopsticks(公筷).
Each dinner should have two pairs of differently colored chopsticks. One is to get food from shared dishes to place into individual bowls, and the other is for eating from individual bowls.
The above new standards aim to protect the public health in a scientific and practical way. Over 200 companies have followed the guidelines. In order to encourage customers to follow the standards, some restaurants offer parking coupons(优惠券) to those who use serving chopsticks.
According to a survey about separate dining, nearly 89% of 100,000 interviewees believe it’s more hygienic(卫生的) because it reduces the risk of infection via saliva(唾液传染).
For Chinese, it is not easy to change their dining behavior, because they think the grouped dining system is a tradition. When they share the food, they are building up a close relationship among diners. Besides, it is difficult to divide Chinese dishes into separate parts.
Eating separately is a break from tradition, but it is helpful to prevent diseases and improve health. People can still sit at the same table, sharing the same food and the same culture in a new way.
1. What is the purpose of the new standards?| A．To protect the public health. |
| B．To change the dinning traditions in China. |
| C．To completely stop the pandemic. |
| D．To encourage separate dinning at home. |
| A．By offering free meals. |
| B．By putting up posters in the restaurant. |
| C．By giving customers small gifts. |
| D．By reducing customers’ parking fees(费用). |
| A．Dining together is a tradition in China. |
| B．People believe a close relationship can be developed when dinning together. |
| C．Dividing Chinese dishes into separate parts is not easy. |
| D．People care little about the public health. |

【推荐2】Kia ora! Are you a culture lover? If yes, take your bag and visit New Zealand! There you can discover Maori culture!
“Kia ora!” is a way to greet Maori. It doesn’t just mean “hello”—it also means life and health. It can be used to say “thank you” or “cheers” too. When Maori meet important guests, instead of handshakes, they do a hongi —touching their noses two or three times.
Maori are famous for kapa haka, which is a powerful combination (组合) of songs, dances and chanting. It is performed by Maori during special festivals. Pukana is an important facial (脸部的) expression of these dances. For Maori, pukana means opening their eyes and mouths wide. Though the expression may seem scaring, it is not a sign of anger but may express strong and deep-felt feelings.
Besides, Maori have a form of body art, known as tattoos (纹身) . And the facial tattoos have special meanings because Maori believe the head is the most important part of the body. For example, men receive mataora on their faces as a symbol of high positions in society. Moko kauae are received by women on their lips and chins. A moko shows a woman’s position and abilities in her community. It is a tradition passed down over many years from the ancient.
Today, Maori traditions are still celebrated all over New Zealand. In the country, you will always feel the alive Maori culture, which influences the life of the whole nation.
