The weather is usually fine. They can swim, go to summer camp or visit other places with their parents.
Of course, the beaches are good places for relaxing. Some children are lucky to live near the sea. They can enjoy the sea anytime. For the children far from the sea, they can only go to the beaches for one or two weeks with their parents.

“How are you?” is a nice question. It’s a friendly way to greet other people. But when a person says “How are you?”, they might expect to hear “Fine” in response, even if the other person isn’t actually fine. The reason is that “How are you?” isn’t really a question and “fine” isn’t really an answer. They are common（常见的）ways of saying “Hello” and “Hi”.
Sometimes people don’t say exactly（确切的）what they mean. For example, when someone asks, “Do you agree?” the other person might be thinking, “No, I don’t agree. I think you are wrong.” This doesn’t sound very polite, so they might say, “I’m not so sure.” It’s a nicer way to say that you don’t agree with someone.
It’s interesting when people want to finish talking. For example, when someone wants to finish talking with another person on the phone, they may say “I have to go now.” Sometimes they might give an excuse（借口）, such as “Someone is at the door” or “I left something on the stove”. The excuse might be real, or it might not. It’s a polite way to stop a conversation and it doesn’t hurt others’ feelings. People don’t always say exactly what they are thinking. That’s just part of the game of language.

You have to shake hands when you’re coming or leaving in Germany, but in Britain you should only shake hands when you meet someone for the first time. You have to give your present in public in the Middle East to show it’s not a bribe (贿赂) , but it’s good manners to give your present in private (私下) in Asia. You mustn’t give cutlery (餐具) in Latin America because it suggests that you want to cut off the relationship. You mustn’t give food or drink in Saudi Arabia because it suggests you think your hosts aren’t offering you enough to eat or drink.
You mustn’t give a clock in China because the Chinese word for clock is similar to the word for funeral (葬礼) . “Come any time” means “I want you to visit me” in India. If you don’t suggest a time and arrange a visit immediately, Indians will think you are refusing the invitation. But if an English person says “come any time”, they will think you are bad-mannered if you start fixing a date. Offices are usually closed on Fridays in Moslern countries. Americans usually mean “Yes” when they nod their heads. An English person probably just means “I understand”, and an Asian is just showing interest. It’s a bad manner to discuss business at a social occasion in India. In an English pub (酒吧) , you have to take your turn to buy a “round” drink for everyone in your group.

When two people meet, there are a lot of ways of greeting. But the ways of greeting are not always the same in different countries.
Two people usually greet each other with a handshake in America. It is a way to show respect (尊敬) to the other person. Players from opposite teams shake hands before a game for the same reason. However, most Americans don’t shake hands when they meet people they have already known well. When American friends meet each other, they might only wave (挥手), or maybe just nod their heads.
There is a special way of greeting called “Hongi” (触鼻礼) in New Zealand. In the greeting, two people press their noses and foreheads (前额) together and close their eyes. This is an old tradition that comes from the Maori (毛利人), who were the first people to live in New Zealand. Even today, many New Zealanders still press their foreheads when they meet.
People bow to each other every time when they meet in Japan. Even family members bow to each other. People decide how low to bow depending on how respected the other person is.
Today, new ways of greeting are created all the time. People can do this with a quick “hi”, a handshake, or even a simple smile. The important thing is that the people they are greeting understand them.

Reading Lu Xun’s articles has become common memories of Chinese students. From a young age, we study his articles such as From Baicao Garden to Sanuei Study and My Old Home. We get to know Runtu and Kong Yiji under his pen.
Lu Xun was born on Sept. 25, 1881, and his real name is Zhou Shuren. So many years has passed, but Lu Xun’s life experiences still encourage young people. He went to Japan to study medicine as his father died of illness. But seeing the dark side of Chinese society of the early 20th century, he decided to pick up a pen and write stories to show the dark side of society and tradition, trying to enlighten(启迪) people. Lu Xun also liked woodcut paintings(木版画). He started the New Woodcut Movement in the 1930s, encouraging more young artists to focus on woodcut paintings. He thought they were a useful art form to spread knowledge, culture and new ideas.
Though Lu Xun’s works were written in his time, they are still a part of pop culture. His words are often used in stories, videos, emojis and creative products. Lu Xun is also one of the most talked-about writers on the video website. By now, there are more than 13, 600 videos about him with 170 million views, according to the site.
Chinese writer Zhi An thinks it’s a good thing that his voice is still heard. In fact, Lu Xun was the one who was never afraid to draw attention. “Lu Xun was brave enough to fight against the rules. If you wanted him to be silent, he would speak out,” Zhi An wrote.
