Imagine a large open space with two teams running, throwing, passing and catching a thin round disc (圆盘). It is called flying disc, the newest popular sport in young people in China. Research shows about 60% of people say they like to make new friends through the sport. The Chinese Flying Disc Administrative Committee says about 500, 000 people in China played flying disc last year, producing over 80,000,000 yuan.
How did flying disc get such great popularity in China in a short time? First, it is a team sport. It helps everyone quickly get to know each other. Second, it is played with a flying disc, thrown by hand. It needs little or no body-touching so it helps avoid being angry and fighting (搏斗). What’s more, this sport allows people to enjoy it without spending much time learning about the rules or skills.
The growing popularity has drawn attention of the Chinese government. In 2019, the Asia Oceanic Ultimate and Guts championships was held in Shanghai. It is the first world match in this sport held in China. In July 2022, the General Administration of Sport decided China’s first flying disc tournament (锦标赛) starting in August and the final match to be held in May next year. The sport will certainly have a bigger home market going forward.

【推荐1】What do you do when you feel unhappy? Do you listen to music? Do you talk to a friend? Maybe next time you feel sad, you should try going outside if it is sunny. Doctors know that how much sunlight we get can change (改变) how we feel. Scientists learn this by asking people who live in different parts of the world. In the far north, in Alaska or Finland, for example, the days are very short in winter. People living in these places say that they often feel unhappy in winter. In the south, where there are more daylight hours, fewer people say they are unhappy in winter. The reason is how much sunlight these people get each day. Sunlight changes the things inside our bodies, and they can change the way we feel. A couple of hours of strong sunlight or light from special lights can help our body make us feel happy. Another way to feel happier is to get some exercise. Just like sunlight, exercise helps our bodies make certain chemicals (化学物质), which make us feel happier. In addition, exercise helps people sleep better. Exercise also helps you get away from stress (压力). When you are angry or upset about something, exercise is a good way to get those bad feelings out of you.

【推荐2】Have you tried to run or walk for exercise and then given up? If you answered yes, you should try a new kind of exercise: aquatic(水中的) exercise. Aquatic exercise is like exercise on land, but you do it in a swimming pool. More and more people are trying aquatic exercise.
Aquatic exercise feels easier than exercise on land. Why? You weigh about 90% less in the pool. It is better for your knees than running or walking. Water is about 1,000 times thicker and heavier than air. To move through the water, your body has to work four times as hard. As a result, you can burn more calories(卡路里).
In fact, most people say they feel more relaxed in the water. They stop thinking about the things that make them worried. They feel in control of their bodies. The cool, quiet environment makes them feel good.
But what if you are afraid of the water? No problem! There is nothing to worry about. Aquatic exercise is safe and easy to learn. It doesn’t require any special skills. You don’t even need to know how to swim. Aquatic exercise is for everyone.

【推荐3】City walking might be a great chance to learn about a city. Instead of simply walking around, city walkers follow certain routes (路线) on different topics. Along the way, they keep an eye on what they see, take photos, listen to the guide (导游) and take part in fun activities.
The idea of city walking is growing in China. It’s one of the top 10 popular lifestyles.
Xiao Xiao, 30, the founder of a city walking club in Changsha, Hunan Province.

Her club provides over 30 city walking routes with topics like old buildings, films, food and communities.
In her eyes, the charm (魅力) of city walking can be seen in two days. “For travelers, it makes them to deeply learn about the city. For locals, it’s a good chance to see something they might not pay attention to before,” Xiao said.
Because of city walking, many people visited places that they heard about but didn’t go before. As the guide introduced the history of these places, people knew more about the city. City walking is not just a way to travel but can be part of our daily lives. “It’s a lifestyle that everyone can try,” Xiao said. “Just start to keep an eye on everything around you whenever you walk, from your school or office to your home. You’ll always find something surprising.”

【推荐1】Is the whale the world’s largest fish? No. It looks like a fish, but it is really a mammal (哺乳动物). Then what’s the world’s largest fish? It’s the whale shark (鲸鲨).
Although the whale shark is our biggest fish and lives in many oceans (海洋) around the world, few people have ever heard of it. Scientists have not been studying whale sharks for very long. Much more needs to be learned about them.
A whale shark is sometimes called a“gentle giant (温柔的巨人)”. It likes to be alone and doesn’t care a bit about divers or humans. The biggest whale shark weighed 24,250 pounds and was nearly 40 feet long. This makes it heavier and longer than a school bus.
Inside its huge mouth are great numbers of very small teeth. To count all of them, you’ll need to do some math. The whale shark’s teeth are arranged in rows. There are between 11 and 13 rows on each jaw (颚) and around 300 teeth in each row.
However, the whale shark rarely uses its teeth. It does not chew (咀嚼) or bite its food. Large amounts (大量) of water are pulled into its mouth and then pushed out through its gills (鳃). Then the whale shark can eat its food.
For a few months every year, a group of whale sharks come to Ningaloo Reef, off Western Australia. This gives scientists a wonderful chance to study the large fish. Whale sharks do live in other oceans of the world, but no one knows their population. It is possible that our biggest fish may need protecting. It is one of the reasons why scientists continue learning about these gentle giants.
