In my opinion, China’s Double Reduction Policy（双减政策）aimed at easing（减轻）education-related pressure on parents and children is effective（有效的）. Now take my home as an example to show how it works.
“Dad! Get up! You promised to take us to the zoo today!” My two daughters shouted together one recent Saturday morning.
For families with children, weekends have become very different, In the past, after throwing the kids into a tutoring class, we could enjoy several hours to ourselves. But now, these classes are gone altogether. Kids, of course, are happy about this. Every Tuesday or Wednesday evening, my girls would ask me. “Where are we going to spend this coming Saturday?”
Fortunately, there are still some classes for them to attend. On Sundays, my girls go to learn ballet and chess. They really enjoy their time there. My elder daughter is old enough to read quietly on her own. On lucky days, we can get her to read together with her sister. Still, a quiet “competition” is on. My girls sometimes talk about how their classmates have spent an exciting weekend. It’s their way of complaining about my laziness.
Weekends are more tiring now for parents, but I think they are good for kids. After all, childhood should be more than just studying school subjects. It should be more colorful!

We learn to read at a young age. Our first experience of reading is probably our parents’ reading storybooks out to us. Do you remember those bedtime stories? We read fun and interesting facts about animals, plants and the world. We ask why and how. In books, we find answers. Textbooks are along with us all through education. We learn to read, then read to learn, and keep reading to get knowledge and grow with the world. We get information from different sources (来源) only through reading. Just everything around us can become knowledge, only through reading.
Because reading is useful, it’s better to have the habit of reading right from childhood. Do you know what role bedtime stories play in children’s life? Research says that they keep children away from the feeling of worry, and this is good for their health. So parents should bring them good books and help them understand the real joys they hold.
Usually, reading makes us read more in the lifelong pursuit (追求) of knowledge. The more you read, the stronger your mind is. The more you read, the more creative you become. Reading improves your understanding and increases your abilities. It gives you knowledge and makes you more confident. The more you read, the better you become.

Do you remember the last two science classes from the Tiangoing space station? Chinese astronauts (宇航员) did many fun experiments (实验) in the Tianhe core module (核心舱). On October 12, three astronauts of Shenzhou XIV — Chen Dong, Liu Yang and Cai Xuzhe, gave a third space class. This time, they moved to the Wentian lab module (实验舱) to start their class! What did the astronauts teach? Let’s take a look.
Stand up to sleep
The beds in the Tianhe module are placed horizontally (横着), but the beds in the Wentian lab module are kept upright (竖着). That means astronauts in the Wentian lad need to sleep by standing up! But as Liu Yang said, people don’t feel any difference because there’s no gravity (重力) in space.
Drink with a long straw (吸管)
Liu Yang drank mango juice with a 2-meter straw easily. But on earth, it’s very difficult to do this because of the air pressure (压力). Most people’s lung (肺) can only suck (吸) water up to 1 meter high. You’d better not try it on Earth because it’s bad for your lung.

3. How do the astronauts sleep in the Wentian lad module?
4. Why is it difficult to drink a 2-meter straw on Earth?

【推荐1】A cicada is a large insect. It is about three centimeters long. Like many other insects, it has six legs. On the forehead are two big eyes, between which is a long beak. It uses its beak to drink juice from trees. The adult cicada has two sets of wings which can shake together to produce a high, continuous sound when the weather is hot.
In its whole life, it mainly goes through two stages. In the beginning, when a cicada is under the ground, it is called a baby cicada. It drinks juice from tree roots and it is covered in a hard shell. At this time, it has no wings - just legs. After coming out of the ground, it breaks out of its old shell. Under the old shell is a new shell and four wings. The cicada finds a place in the sun to dry its new shell and wings. Gradually, the baby cicada grows into an adult. After a cicada becomes an adult, it sings loudly in hot summer. That’s why it is called a born singer in nature.
At present, over two thousand kinds of cicadas are distributed (分布) around the world. All of them spend most of their life underground. You can find about four hundred and fifty kinds in Africa. Besides, there are about one hundred and twenty kinds in China. There are also about seven special kinds in the US that stay under the ground for many years.

Have you ever regretted what you did in the past? As we get older, we look back and wish that we had made better choices. What can we do to avoid future regrets?
Make better plans
If you begin to do something, you need to make a plan before doing it. The earlier, the better. You will know what comes first and what comes last. You’ll also know what you should do and what you shouldn’t do. If changes happen, you can have more time to deal with them.
Live a more active life
You can go around more often. More outdoor activities can keep you relaxed. You also need to be kind. “Thank you” can bring a smile to someone’s face. Learn to say “sorry” and don’t be mad at others.
Find the right friend
A friend may make your life and he or she can break your life as well. So you need to think twice when you choose a friend. Good friends will always better your ideas.
When you have problems, ask others for help. That little help may get you good results.
Never fear failure
Everybody fails. Even the greatest person fails. We should not fear failure, because failure is not the end of the road. We must take failure as a chance to learn and improve ourselves.
Life is good. We don’t have to live in our past, but we do hope that we can plan better, live better, and work better when we have the chance to do so.
