Winnie the Pooh is about 100 years old. It is my favourite, and I’m sure it’s also yours. Do you know how it came to our life?
Winnipeg is a place in Canada. Many years ago, Harry, a soldier (士兵) , went to Europe from here. When he stopped at a train station, he saw a man selling a little black bear. Harry bought it and named it Winnipeg. The name became Winnie in short later.
Harry went to a lot of places. When he got to London, he left Winnie in the London Zoo. He thought they could look after Winnie.
Near the zoo, there was a boy named Robin. He loved to visit the London Zoo with his dad. Winnie was his favourite animal. Robin’s father was a writer. He wrote the bear in one of his poems for the first time. Later he wrote stories about Winnie and Robin. Slowly, the father wrote more characters (人物) like Piglet, Rabbit, Roo and Tigger and so on in his stories.

【推荐2】A small boy was trying to move a heavy wooden box out of his yard. The box was much bigger than the boy. He tried his best to move it, but the box would not move at all. After resting for a short time, the boy tried to move it again. He pushed it with every muscle (肌肉) in his body, but he couldn’t even move the box a little. He was very tired and upset.
The boy’s father was coming home from work around this time. He stopped to watch his son’s fruitless efforts (努力). The father didn’t help him, but instead asked, “Son, have you tried your best and are you doing everything you can?”
“Yes, I am!” the boy cried.

【推荐3】Have you ever met a person that has had a life-changing impact (影响) on you? Well, I have. That person is Miss Huang.
I first met Miss Huang in the year 2016. At that time I was in my first year of middle school. I remember how she walked into our classroom with an English book in her hand. She looked very kind and smart. At that moment I thought to myself, “Maybe this person is going to have a great impact on my life!”

We talked about possible solutions (解决办法) to the problems. She also told me what her school life was like at my age. After I walked out of the office, I felt like I was walking on air.

【推荐1】On January 27, in order to win the new pneumonia Resistance War (抗新型肺炎战) , the Ministry of Education issued (公布) a notice on putting off the start time of school in spring 2020. It was said that school should not start before February 17. The exact start time of school will depend on situations and further notices.
However, many parents are very worried that putting off the start of school may affect children's studies. If they have such a long winter vacation, children will not learn any knowledge, read books or study at all. They may forget what they have learned before. Staying at home for a long time will make them keep eating, sleeping and playing, which seriously affect their physical and mental health.
In short, the close of school influences learning and develops bad habits, so how should we avoid these problems? Local education departments have also issued a notice, that is, to organize online teaching and create a network platform (平台) , where necessary courses will be shown every day, and online teaching will be given by excellent teachers of the subject, and students can learn at home through computer or mobile network.
It should be said that such a method is very good. It can not only keep students indoors and not worry about the infection (感染) of the disease, but also make them study at home, improve their learning ability, and truly achieve "no suspension of classes". Both the platform itself and the recorded lesson resources are more useful, and are welcomed by parents and teachers.
Of course, except for learning at home, it is also necessary to teach children about health knowledge, especially how to keep away from touching virus and other knowledge popularization; at the same time, it is also necessary for children to do some physical exercises or some games, which is good for physical health at home.
1. Parents worried about putting off the start time of school because________.A.children may be infected by virus |
B.they don't like the idea of online learning |
C.children's study may be affected |
D.parents have no time to look after children |
A.plan | B.stop | C.growth | D.change |
A.Students would rather go to school. |
B.The date of going to school is decided. |
C.Online teaching will help students study. |
D.Parents believe children can teach themselves. |
A.A Special Way to Learn at Home |

C.A Way to Keep Mentally Healthy |
D.A Method to Make Parents Worried |
【推荐2】You’ve probably never seen a movie quite like this one. Loving Vincent is the world’s first hand-painted animated movie. It is made fully with paintings. Every scene was created using oil paint on canvas(画布). Twelve frames(画面) were painted just to show one second of the movie. It took more than 100 artists seven years to complete it.
The movie has gotten good reviews since it came out on the Chinese mainland on Dec. 8. Its box office has reached over $20 million(132.43 million yuan) worldwide, according to Variety.
The film tells the story of the final months of famous Dutch artist Vincent van Gogh (1853-1890). The story is told through his paintings and the characters in them. It shows his death as being part of a murder mystery, as Hollywood Reporter said.
A young man named Armand Roulin serves as both detective and storyteller. A year after the death of Vincent van Gogh, Armand is instructed by his father, Postman Joseph Roulin, to personally send a letter to Vincent’s brother, Theo. Armand travelled across Europe to the town where Vincent spent his final months. When he finds that Theo has died of a disease shortly after his brother, he visits several important people in Van Gogh’s life to find out the truth behind his death. But each person tells a different story.
There are many examples of the artist’s work in the movie. It shows over 120 of his paintings, such as The Night Café, Wheat field With Crows, and The Starry Night. It’s no wonder Empire Magazine called it “ one of the most beautiful films ”.
The real-life letters that Van Gogh wrote to his brother are shown as well. The movie lets you see the real Vincent van Gogh in a different way.

【推荐2】I was born in Damyang, a beautiful place known for its bamboo forests in Korea. I spent much time in the forests painting pictures of the bamboo. Painting is one of my talents. I lived there until last year when my family moved to New York. My mother, a scientist, was asked to come work here.
“There are no bamboo forests,”I said , “there is nothing to paint in New York.” “Don’t worry, my dear daughter. You will find many things to see and paint there,” said my mother . “I will miss home,” I said. “Then you can paint pictures of your favorite places. They will make you feel at home,” she said. So when we moved, I brought my forest paintings with me.
New York was not easy at first. I missed home a lot. Yet when I looked at my paintings of bamboo, I felt much better. I soon found friends at school too. They also like painting, and we now paint in a group after school.
Last month, we had a new neighbor, Varvara, an old lady who moved from Russia, to be closer to her daughter. She was sad to leave her home. My mother and I often visited her. She told us her homesickness and everything about her hometown Vyborg. I could picture her home in my head.
Varvara missed her home so much that she became ill. I worried about her and I wanted to do something for her. I had ever been in her situation before . At least , I had my forest paintings of home. However, she didn’t even have that . Unless...
A few days later, I met Varvara on the stairs. She looked better but still sad. I gave her my gift: a painting of Vyborg. I had painted it from her memories.
