A study showed that people born (出生) in the Netherlands are some of the tallest in the world, but the Dutch people born in 2001 are shorter than those born in 1980. 21-year-old Dutch men now are an average (平均) of 182.9 cm tall, and women are on average 169.3 cm tall. However, men born in 2001 are on average 1 cm shorter than the men born in 1980 and women are 1.4 cm shorter. The result of the study was from 719,000 Dutch people aged between 19 and 60.
“We became taller and taller over the last century (世纪), but since 1980 the growth (增长) has stopped,” the study said. “Immigration (移民) and food are the reasons behind this.”
Those changes to the country are often shorter than the average Dutch people. That is to say, they probably have shorter children. The study also showed that height growth slowed down for those parents and grandparents both born in the Netherlands. However, people in the Netherlands are still the tallest in the world.
Though Dutch people are very tall now, they weren’t always tall in the past. In fact, at the start of the 19th century, they were small and only started to get taller in the 1840s.

【推荐1】Many people might, when they see something beautiful, simply say it is beautiful. But Ma Baoli, a China Southern Airlines pilot known as “poetic captain”, recites ancient Chinese poetry instead.
While flying over the Yellow River, he thinks of this poem: “Do you not see the Yellow River come from the sky, rushing into the sea, and never come back?” Above the Yangtze River, he recites: “Wave after wave, the Yangtze River rushes east, sweeping away with it all our heroes.”
Ma likes reading poetry in his spare time. During the flights, he sometimes shares poems with passengers about the places they are flying over after broadcasting (播送) basic flight information. The perfect mix of poem and flying is deeply loved by the Chinese people and has won him many fans. On Sina Weibo, people expressed their admiration for Ma and their wish to hear his poetic broadcasts on his flights. “There is a great love for poetry. In fact, many Chinese people have a special feeling for it,” said Ma.
His father used to paint on the white walls of their house and write poems to go with the paintings. As a child, he enjoyed watching his father do these things and listening to him recite poems. It planted a love of ancient poetry in his early heart.
No wonder his love for poetry has now become a family tradition. Like the father, Ma’s daughters, aged 6 and 9, are also interested in poetry and traditional Chinese culture. “Chinese classical poetry and traditional culture have brought me a wonderful experience. I hope my children can feel the same way,” says Ma Baoli.

【推荐2】Jia Ling is a well-known female comedian (喜剧演员) with smiling eyes, a quick wit (机智) and good sense of humor. Recently, many people talk about her another title — film director.
On Feb. 12, 2021, the film Hi,Mom which was directed by Jia Ling came out. As one of the most popular films in China’s New Year, the movie attracted many people’s attention.
Jia Ling made this film just to remember her mom, who encouraged Jia Ling to run after her dreams. So Hi, Mom focused on the pure and sincere relationship between mother and daughter. When Jia Xiaoling was young, her most simple wish was to make herself a good daughter and let her mom be proud of her. Unfortunately, her mom passed away in a traffic accident which brought all this to nothing. If everything was back in 1981, she would have done anything to study hard and make her mom gain a smiling face.
Besides the sincere feelings, Jia Ling showed her talented sense of comedy in this film. Jia made sure that Hi, Mom hit home for those who needed a laugh. For example, when Shen Guanglin (played by Shen Teng) went on a date with Li Huanying (played by Zhang Xiaofei), Shen suffered from a case of diarrhea (腹泻), leading to an awkward (尴尬的) and humorous scene.
We can reflect (深思) a lot after watching this film. What shall we do when we grow up? We’d better often go back home to take care of our parents, and spend more time with them. Life is only once, and time never waits. Take your family out for a walk to relax as possible as you can, because it can take away the sad of the past, and make us brave to welcome the future.

The jealous neighbor heard the knock and thought, “I finally got him!” He opened the door, ready to argue with his rich neighbor.
