	The helmet made of ice makes the mascot in fashion. It looks like an astronaut in a space suit.
	Bing Dwen Dwen waves its left hand to say hello. There are two red hearts in its hands, showing its kindness and love.
	A group of lines with different colors around its head stand for the tracks on ice rink. They also stand for fast 5G signals

Three years ago, Bing Dwen Dwen became the mascot for the Beijing 2022 Winter Olympics.

The design was chosen from 5,816 works from 38 countries and areas. Cao Xue, the chief designer of Bing Dwen Dwen, said that the idea first came from Bingtanghulu, a traditional Chinese snack. However, a simple snack couldn’t stand for a country by itself. Cao’s team tried many animals and plants and finally decided on a panda. “What can stand for China better than our national treasure?” “We don’t need to explain anything. It can be easily understood by all people from different cultures.”

However, there were already too many cartoon images of pandas. The mascot needed to be creative. Cao first decided that it should be a baby panda instead of an adult one, so its body is as long as its head.

Cao’s team looked all around the world to collect panda designs they could find. They wanted to make sure that their panda looked special. In order to look for inspiration, they visited the Wolong Nature Reserve (保护区) in Sichuan.

Now the panda in an ice shell has been made into toys and models, as well as printed on notebooks, badges and bags. People of all ages like them very much. “Design is like dancing with chains. I’m glad we performed a good dance.” said Cao.

1. In which year did Bing Dwen Dwen become the mascot for the Beijing 2022 Winter Olympics?
________________, it became the mascot for the Beijing 2022 Winter Olympics.

According to a recent report, payment through mobile phones made up 54 percent of all online shopping over Alipay in the first 10 months of the year. It is especially popular in the western part of our country, such as Tibet, Shaanxi and Ningxia.

Meanwhile, we can’t neglect（忽视）the fact that it must be operated with a smart mobile phone and a network. And it is only recently that the technology to support such systems has become widely available, such as the popularity of the network and the smart mobile phones which makes mobile payment possible.

Dear Donna,

Help! I’m a 15-year-old middle school student in New York. In eight months, I’m going to take an entrance exam. To prepare for it, I’m studying six hours a day. I want to do well, but I’m really stressed these days. I can’t sleep. What can I do?

Yours,

Mary

Dear Mary,

Many students have the same problem as you. Here is some advice to help you deal with（解决）the stress.

● Make a proper study plan for yourself, and don’t study too much in one day. You can remember more by studying one hour each day for six days than six hours in one day. Also, don’t study late at night.

● Have a rest for 15 to 20 minutes every two hours. Go outside and walk. Taking exercise is a great way to reduce stress.

● Don’t eat too much sugar or drink too much coffee. Eat food rich in vitamin（维生素）B (such as eggs green vegetables and rice). These give you energy and help you think more clearly.

● A study partner（同伴）can help you prepare for the test. When you’re worried about the exam, you can talk to your partner. This can reduce stress too.

Good luck!

Yours,

Donna

•Do something nice for someone. Helping others always makes you feel good.

•Smile! Be friendly to people you meet. Look for the good things in your friends and family.
