【推荐2】Have you ever wondered what an American high school is real like? Now let me describe a typical (典型的) American high school and students in it.
A typical American high school has several large buildings and enough space for about 1,500 students. Every student has a locker to put away their textbooks and to hang up(搁置)their outdoor clothes. As American textbooks are expensive, students would rather(宁愿) loan (租借) than buy them. Students have to pay if they lose any of them.
American students have different kinds of school transport. They usually take a yellow school bus or walk to school if they live close enough. Sometimes their parents drive them to school. When they turn 16 years of age, most take a free driving class at school for one term. If students pass the driving exam, they can begin driving themselves to school.
Each day, students take six or seven subjects. They must take Science, Maths, English and Social Studies. They can choose from Art, Homemaking, and other classes.
In some schools, students have to take one or more of the following special subjects: Health Education, Physical Education or Foreign Language Studies. Students move to different classrooms for each subject. This is because each teacher has his or her own classroom.
The school day usually ends early in the afternoon. After school more than half of the students are involved in after-school activities. These activities include sports like football, basketball, baseball, and different kinds of clubs, such as Yearbook Club, Speech Club, and so on.

【推荐1】Rivers are the lifeblood of human civilizations. As one of the longest-lasting civilizations, China has a large number of rivers. A total of 45,203 rivers with a drainage area (流域面积) of more than 50 square kilometers run across the country, according to the National Bureau of Statistics.
The most famous ones are the Yangtze and Yellow Rivers. As the longest river in Asia and third longest in the world, the Yangtze River has a length of 6,300 kilometers. It originates from the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau (高原) and flows through 11 provincial-level administrative regions (省级行政区) before ending in the East China Sea. Second to the Yangtze River is the Yellow River, with a length of 5,464 kilometers as it flows from the west to the east of China.
Apart from its big number of natural rivers, China also has a lot of beautiful man-made rivers. The Grand Canal is one example. With a history of more than 2,500 years, the Grand Canal stretches (延伸) nearly 3,200 kilometers and connects the north and south of China.
Despite their different features, these rivers and canals continue to nourish (滋养) the Chinese people physically and culturally. They bring fertile (肥沃的) soil and enough irrigation (灌溉) water, which makes many areas “a land of fish and rice”. Connecting China as a whole, the water network runs through geographical boundaries (界限) and provides people with convenient transportation, expanding trade and promoting economic growth. These rivers are immortalized (使名垂千古) in Chinese culture, as can be found in Chinese poetry, art, literature, and folklore.
Just as Chinese President Xi Jinping said, “Lucid waters and lush mountains are invaluable assets (绿水青山就是金山银山).”
To protect these bodies of water, many measures have been taken in recent years. For example, in August the Ministry of Water Resources announced plans to bring back 700,000 hectares (公顷) of degraded natural forest and treat almost 1.4 million hectares of land suffering from desertification (沙漠化) by 2025.
Through these government measures, our rivers have seen many positive changes—birds flying above the wetlands and farmers happily harvesting on irrigated lands.

The Start of Summer, one of the 24 solar terms (节气) in China always falls on the 5th or 6th of May each year. It was set during the end of the Warring States Period. During the Start of Summer time, all vegetation grows fast. It’s the tie for the harvest of wheat and other summer crops. For this reason, the Start of Summer has been labeled with great importance since ancient times in China. In Zhou Dynasty, the emperor himself led his officials and people to welcome the Start of Summer.
Among the 24 solar terms, the Start of Summer is the most attractive to children. There are many customs on this day and the egg competition is one of them. In summer, with increasing temperature, it is easy for children to feel weak. There is an old Chinese saying which says, “Hanging an egg on children’s chest can prevent them from getting summer diseases”.
On this day, parents prepare boiled eggs for their children. They put the egg in a knitted bag and hang the egg on the chests of their children. When at school, children gather together to hold the egg competition. There are two ends of an egg. The pointed end is the top and the round end is the bottom. In the competition, children let the pointed end of their egg hit the pointed end of their competitor’s egg. The children battle one by one and those whose eggs are broken will lose the game. The person who has the hardest egg is the champion (冠军).
The custom to check one’s weight started from the Three Kingdoms Period. It is said that Zhao Zilong left Liu Bei’s son, A Dou, to Mrs. Sun in Wu State on the day of Start of Summer. Mrs. Sun weighed A Dou in front of Zhao Zilong and planned to weigh him again on the same day the next year to see if A Dou became stronger. Today people of all ages still like weighing themselves. It is believed that one weighs oneself on this day will have a strong body through the summer.
