On Oct. 25 this year, the Healthy China Action (2019-2030): Tobacco Control Promotion Campaign(控烟行动) came out in Beijing. It shows about 9.4 million junior high school students tried tobaccos(烟)before.
How did this happen? First of all, stopping smoking in public(公共) places is difficult. It’s easy for teenagers to buy tobaccos on streets. And it’s hard to find out who is smoking in a place full of people. And how to punish(惩处) them is a question. It will use much money to make people ask others not to smoke in public places. So, some units(部门) just have to let it go.
There’s another reason we should know. Although we can’t find tobacco ads(广告) on TV or newspapers, there are many other ways for teenagers to see tobaccos. Today we can see actors and actresses smoking in the movies and soap operas. Also, pictures of singers and actors smoking are everywhere on the Internet. As a result, 13% of the students in the schools of Beijing think smoking makes them look cooler. “Did you see Chow Yun Fat in the movie God of Gamblers（赌神）? Smoking makes him so manly and cool! If I can smoke, I’ll look fantastic, too.” said a 13-year-old boy student.
How can we make things better? First of all, stars shouldn’t smoke in their programs too often. And news about stars and singers smoking should also become less. The less teenagers see their favorite stars smoke, the less they want to smoke themselves. Schools and families must take actions, too. Teachers and parents mustn’t smoke in front of the students or kids. And we should let teenagers know the bad things about tobaccos. We can also have people share ideas about tobacco control in schools, so students can join the action.

【推荐2】Many teenagers feel that the most important people in their lives are their friends. They believe that family members, and particularly (尤其是) their parents, don’t know them as well as their friends do. In large families, it is quite often for brothers and sisters to fight with each other and then they can only go to their friends for advice.
It is very important for teenagers to have one good friend or a circle of friends. Even when they are not with their friends, they usually spend a lot of time talking among themselves on the phone. This communication (交流) is very important in children’s growing up, because friends can discuss something difficult to say to their family members.

【推荐1】Spring Festival is a time for children to receive lucky money. Do you think parents should look after their children’s lucky money? Here, some middle school students are sharing their ideas.
| Tian Yun: Lucky money should be kept by parents because children generally don’t have much experience with money and are likely to form the habit of splashing out. They can’t control themselves when they see things they like. So only after they graduate from high school can they manage their money. |
| Hou Yi: I think children should be free to spend their lucky money because it’s a good chance to develop their money management skills. Children will be able to learn how to use their money properly. What parents should do is to guide them correctly. |
| Wang Xin: It is too difficult for young children to manage their money wisely as there are so many distractions(干扰) outside. With large amounts of money, they may be cheated by bad persons, which will make them get into trouble. |
| Cui Han: According to the latest Civil Code(《民法典》), 8 years old is a dividing line. That means children over 8 have the right to deal with their own money. They should be trusted to manage their money. It helps them become financially(财政上) independent early in life. |
| A．not spending any money | B．raising money for others |
| C．spending money like water | D．lending money to others |

【推荐2】Frederick M. Hess is the director of education policy studies at the American Enterprise Institute, which is a nonprofit organization that conducts(进行) research on many public issues. He says that a long summer vacation doesn’t make sense(有意义) in today’s world.
Can American students afford to take a summer vacation? In a summer vacation, millions of kids spend valuable time sending messages, watching TV, playing video games and doing shopping in the mall. They will also be putting their academic(学术性的) futures in danger.
Summer vacation once made sense in the past when you didn’t need an education to get a good job. But now things have changed. For today’s students, academic skills are important to students’ future success, but such skills are affected in the summertime. Many nations don’t give kids an American-style summer vacation. They offer no more than seven continuous weeks of vacation. Most American school districts offer up to thirteen weeks. To compete(竞争) in the global marketplace, Americans must be prepared to go up against international competitors.
Summer vacation also causes challenges for today’s families. In the 1960s, more than 60% of families had a stay-at-home Mom. Now, two-thirds of American children live in households where every adult works. For these families, summer vacation can be more burdensome(难以承担的) than break. Someone must watch the kids.
But the biggest problem may be how summer vacation hurts academic achievement. Researchers have found that disadvantaged students lose significant ground in the summertime.
A longer school year does not have to be an invitation to hard boring work. Instead, it should allow teachers to have more time to organize richer and more imaginative lessons. Schools would have more time to devote to athletics, languages, music and the arts.
Summer vacation can be a very good thing. But in the 21st century, it may also be outdated.
1. What’s Frederick M. Hess’s opinion about summer holiday?| A．A long summer vacation is just a waste of time nowadays. |
| B．A long summer vacation is very common all over the world. |
| C．A long summer vacation doesn’t make sense in today’s world. |
| D．A long summer vacation is good for both children and parents. |
| A．sending messages | B．watching TV |
| C．playing video games | D．helping parents |
| A．Less than two months. | B．Up to thirteen weeks. |
| C．No more than seven weeks. | D．About one month or more. |
| A．Because these family members need time to organize some meaningful activities for kids. |
| B．Because these families need their children to work instead of having the summer vacation. |
| C．Because these family members are too busy with their work to look after the kids at home. |
| D．Because these families cannot afford the children’s education during the summer vacation. |
| A．More boring work for teachers. | B．More burden for parents with jobs. |
| C．More imaginative lessons for students. | D．More colourful activities for teachers. |
【推荐3】“We said no to the invitation to the birthday party because my child says they’re not even friends.”
When I read the above words, I felt heartache.
I know birthday parties can be like a trouble, but let’s believe the parents who sent that invitation weren’t trying to get more gifts for their kids or make things more complicated.
For some kids, managing school and friends is easy. Maybe you have a child who’s outgoing, self-confident or maybe you have a child who doesn’t have any problems. However, for some kids, school and friends can be very difficult.
A birthday party is a fun, exciting and good opportunity. It is a chance for the kid on the sidelines to play with other kids who don’t play with him/her at school or who don’t call him/her a friend.
Sometimes even when the birthday party and the theme have been decided on and the difficult decision about whom to invite has been made, there can still be doubts. Those invitations can stay untouched in the bottom of the child’s backpack for days, because he/she is too scared to hand them out.
I don’t know your child, and I don’t know you. I do know there are parents who lie awake at night wondering if their child will have the courage to hand out the invitations in the morning; I do know there are parents who hope they can depend on other parents to teach their children to be kind enough to show up. Maybe you’ll never have to be one of the parents who find it hard. I know what that’s like, because I have children who find it easy. But I also have a child who doesn’t. And because of that, we’ve become a family that says yes to every invitation we receive.
Sometimes a birthday party invitation is not just a birthday party invitation; it’s also an invitation to be a friend.

A simple handshake, a peck on the cheek, a respectful bow—there are so many ways to greet people in different countries. Read this article to know more about the greeting customs in different cultures, and make sure to greet people in the right way next time you visit one of these countries.
French people greet each other with a handshake, but close friends kiss each other on both cheeks when they meet. They do this when meeting and before leaving. In a social situation in Ghana, it’s polite to greet everyone in the room. A handshake is used in greeting. And the palm must directly touch the palm of the other. It’s considered disrespectful to touch the back of the hand. In Brazil, kissing women on the cheek is a common way of greeting. In a formal situation, a handshake is often done to show respect. Men should shake hands before and after meeting, and once they have become familiar with each other, a light hug is often given to each other.
There are several ways of greeting people in the Philippines. An elderly person places his or her right hand on the forehead of a child to bless the latter. This is called “mano”. Relatives and family members greet each other with a kiss on the cheek. Friends greet each other with a polite nod or a handshake.

However, Professor Stephen Hawking, a well-known British scientist, is not for this kind of technology. “The development of artificial intelligence could spell(预言) the end of human”. He said so just after using the machine made for him. As Hawking has a serious illness called ALS, he needs an AI computer to communicate. The computer learns how Hawking thinks and suggests the words he may want to use next.
This kind of AI is very useful, but Hawking fears the possibility of making machines that can be smarter than humans. And it’s easy to imagine how terrible things may be. We can see on TV some big killer machines that are far cleverer than us. “Humans can’t compete because of their slow biological evolution (生物进化)” said Hawking. But no everyone holds the same idea towards AI technology. “I believe we can make good use of the technology for a long time. It will help us to solve many problems in the future.” said Rollo Carpenter, CEO of Cleverbot in the UK.
In which way do you think AI is heading? Should we be hopeful or fearful?

【推荐3】When throwing away rubbish, do you know which bin it should go in? Have you ever noticed the differently-colored bins on the street?
Some of you might not be able to answer this question. However, it's actually quite important to know how to sort your waste. Not knowing how to sort waste can make it harder to save energy and protect the environment.
If you don’t sort your waste, all of it will go to a landfill and be buried(埋) together. These landfills can take up large areas of ground that could have been used for planting trees or crops. The electronic waste you throw away, such as batteries, can pollute the soil and groundwater. Other pieces of waste, like the metal part of a pen, can be used to make other things if they are properly recycled.
With this in mind, many cities in China have been running waste-sorting campaigns (活动）in recent years. For example, Shanghai announced in July that within three years, all of its residents (居民）should sort their waste into four groups: wet, recyclable, harmful and dry.
“Wet” waste is also known as household waste. “They are things you don't want but that pigs can eat,”Guangzhou Daily explained. Paper, metal, glass and other things that can be reused are recyclable waste.
Harmful waste includes things like medicine, batteries and fluorescent bulbs. Finally, any waste that's not wet, recyclable or harmful will go in the“dry waste”bin.
Many other Chinese cities, including Shenzhen, plan to use this method to sort their garbage. Now that you know this, perhaps you can do your part to protect the environment and encourage others to sort their waste.
