Breaking a bone (骨头) is not fun. It’s normal, especially if you play sports. It is a big shock to your whole body and can hurt. Besides feeling painful around the broken bone, you may also feel dizzy or get chills (头晕或发冷).
If you fall or hurt yourself and you think you might have broken a bone, don’t panic (慌)! Tell an adult or a teacher about what happened. They will help you get the proper medical attention. The doctor might take an X-ray, which can help the doctor see inside your body. If the doctor finds out your bone is broken, they might put a cast (石膏) on it. A cast is like a hard bandage that protects your broken bone while it gets better. It’s important to keep the cast dry and clean. You might not be allowed to do some activities or sports for a while, but it’s only temporary (暂时的). Soon enough, your bone will get better, and you’ll be back to playing and having fun.
So, have you ever broken a bone? If you have, don’t worry it happens to many people, and they all get better with time. Just remember to be safe and have fun!

【推荐1】Is a hotel pool even really there if you don’t put it on social media (社交媒体)?
It’s a question that one Bali resort ( 巴厘岛某度假村) is encouraging its guests to put to the test by stopping people using phones and mobile devices by the pool, in order to encourage people to enjoy the beautiful views of their surroundings rather than looking at a screen for a long time.
The “ digital detox ruling ( 数 码 戒 断 规 定 ) ” at Ayana Resort in Bali, which is suitable for all smart phones and digital devices, makes a try to forcibly get people to move their mind off the global addiction ( 上 瘾 ) of checking the news, taking photos without control, updating social media and replying to emails even when on holiday.
The fact of being unable to turn off, or being parted from your phone, has even be n given a name: nomophobia, described as the “21st century disease”. Social media use has a bad influence on people’s mental health. It has also been connected with depress ion— the state of being very sad especially among young people.
A recent survey of American holiday-makers found that more than 20% said they checked their smart phones once per hour during their most recent vacation and realized that was too often In another survey in Britain in 2017, 38% of adults said they thought they were using their phones too much and made their decisions to change.
As a result, there has been an increasing interest in so-called digital detox holidays( 数码戒断旅行), as people look for ways to take a break from their phones. Seeing this, travel companies and hotels plan to catch the business chance because of people’ s inability to turn off their devices if they aren’t forced.
Ayana resort’s no-phone policy is unlikely to be popular with everyone. However, another recent survey by Travelzoo found that 30% of respondents ( 受访者) boked holiday destinations only because whether they could take great photos to show on social media or not.

The Sword of Goujian is a double-edged weapon (武器) that is over two thousand years old. Although it is very old, this “magical” sword still can easily cut through 20 pieces of paper at once. As for its material, the high copper content (含铜量) of the sword gives its special color and the ability of being easily bent (使弯曲) without breaking.
The Sword of Goujian has repeated dark pictures on the blade, and there are blue crystals and green gems on the handle. On one side of the blade, you can see two lines of words. These eight words can be read as follows: “Goujian, the King of Yue, made it for his own use”.
The clearest feature of the Sword of Goujian is that it is shorter than other swords in history. Like all the emperors in the world, Goujian wanted to use the sword as a symbol of his power, not a frightening weapon.
The King of Yue was famous for his spirit of never giving up in difficult times. In 494 B.C., Goujian was caught by the state of Wu. He had to serve its king for three years before being set free. After returning home, the King of Yue started to sleep on grass and trees while forcing himself to drink bile (胆汁) every day so as not to forget the pain and shame that he had gone through while in the state of Wu. In 478 B.C., Goujian fought back and beat the state of Wu five years later.
The Sword of Goujian is not only a remarkable weapon, but also a symbol of strength and resilience (韧性). As a symbol of Chinese history and culture, the Sword of Goujian reminds people to have the courage to overcome challenges when facing them.

【推荐3】In China, writing brushes, ink sticks, paper and ink stones are called the Four Treasures of Study. Among the high-quality treasures, the writing brush produced in Huzhou, the ink stick produced in Huizhou, the xuan paper made in Xuancheng and the ink stone made in Duanxi are the best-known.
The writing brushes can be used to draw the pictures on painted pottery(陶器). They are mainly made of the hair of animals. Those made of wool are called yanghao and those made of the weasel’s(鼬) tail hair are called langhao. Their artistic effects in writing and painting cannot be copied by any other pens.
The ink stick is the pigment(颜料) used in writing and painting. The ink stick produced in Huizhou is of high quality. A story goes like this: Two famous skilled men Xi Chao and his son produced a kind of high-quality ink stick. As a result, the Emperor Li Yu in the Southern Tang dynasty agreed to give them the family name “Li”. From then on, the fame of the Li Ink Stick was widespread. In the Song dynasty, its producing area was changed into Huizhou, and it was then called the Hui Ink Stick.
Paper is among the four great inventions in ancient China. The famous xuan paper appeared in the Sui and Tang dynasties. In Xuanzhou, Anhui Province where the xuan paper is produced, it’s said that Cai Lun’s pupil Kong Dan took the job of producing paper but failed to make perfect white paper. Later he happened to see the ebony(黑檀木) in the rivers. It was wet with the water and turned white. Then he used the bark(树皮) to produce the world-famous xuan paper.
The ink stone was already very popular in the Han dynasty. The Ming and Qing dynasties saw the appearance of the Four Famous Ink Stones—Duan Ink Stone, She Ink Stone, Tao Ink Stone and Chengni Ink Stone. They can not only be used in writing and painting but also for admiration.

【推荐3】Have you ever dreamed of enjoying the beautiful countryside and listening to the wind on a cold night? Then you need to go camping. But before you go, you really need to know where to start. Let’s see what US middle school students always do to prepare.
First of all, they decide which place to camp. They often choose lakes, mountains, the forest or the seaside. Camping grounds are all over the US. When they make their decision, they will tell their parents where they will go. Safety is the most important thing. If they are going to a remote area, they will take something like a pocketknife, flashlight and other tools to keep themselves safe from danger. They also take enough food and water. A good map and compass are also necessary in case they can’t find their way.
One of the most important things is a light, brightly-colored tent. Most tents are easy to put up. They come with a groundsheet, which stops water from getting in, as well as a fly screen, so that bugs don’t fly into the tent at night.
Depending on what kind of activities they plan to do, US students bring different clothes. For example, if they want to go hiking, they will take a strong pair of walking boots, some lightweight trousers, and a waterproof coat.
Do you know all the things US students do when they go camping? Summer vacation is right around the corner. Why not go camping with your parents or friends?

When you are about to do something brave, a cheerful wish of “Good luck!” from a friend can be helpful. But if you think you need lots of luck, what else might you do?
In the UK and US there are some strange traditions for bringing yourself a little more good luck. Some are hundreds of years old and some are much newer.
Have you heard the saying “When you wish upon a star”? If you are looking up at the sky on a clear night and you see a sudden flash of light, it is probably a shooting star! Seeing one doesn’t happen very often. The saying goes that if you see one you will be very lucky, and so if you make a wish, it may come true.
Maybe you have heard of the lucky rabbit’s foot. Some people believe that rabbits are lucky animals, so they carry a part of the rabbit, its foot, for good luck. There are all kinds of strange, unclear rules about which of the rabbit’s feet is the luckiest. It is said that this good luck tradition is the oldest one of all. However, as the funny saying goes, “Depend on the rabbit’s foot if you will, but remember it didn’t work for the rabbit!”
People in Britain love trees. If it is autumn and leaves are falling from the trees, some people try to catch the leaves as they fall because they think each leaf they catch will bring them a lucky month in the following year--they will need to catch 12 falling leaves to have a whole year of good luck!

All of us should keep a kitchen diary, and we can know how much food we waste at home. The first thing for us to do is stop throwing away food that we can still eat. We should eat everything we buy and if we cannot, we should buy less.
◆ Buy only what we need
We should ask for smaller ones in the supermarket. We should also check how much food we have ① buying more. We shouldn’t bring much food we don’t need home even if large posters ask us to do so.
◆ Develop the habit of ② food
Chinese customers are generous(慷慨的)and friendly. In restaurants, often too much food is ordered and served. So when eating out, we are supposed to exclude(排除)the food in the menu if we don’t plan to eat it. And order smaller servings in restaurants and take home what we cannot finish.

◆Check Your Paperwork
When you prepare for your leaving, make sure your paperwork is organized. You’ll check the dates on your visa (签证) and passport. Also, do some research on the local currency (货币). Some countries—like Jamaica—use more than one currency. It’s best to know how and when to use them.
◆Mind Your Health
Get a physical checkup before the trip. If you need to take medicine along, keep it in its bottles.
Also, make sure that you know the place or phone number of the local hospital so that if you are sick while traveling, you will be able get the treatment as soon as possible.
◆Pay Attention
Stay safe by keeping one eye on the amazing sights and the other on your personal things. When you get into a taxi, make sure there is a meter (计价器) and it is turned on. If there is no meter, agree on a price before starting out.
◆Learn About the Locals
If you will visit a country, buy a guidebook and a map. It’s a good way to learn about the culture of the country you will visit. Then you will have a better understanding of the country.

Not everyone will speak your language.

| Austin or San Antonio? Hi! I live in Mexico and am planning to visit my uncle in Dallas, Texas, next month. I’d like to visit Austin or San Antonio for a few days. I like the outdoor activities, local music, good food, friendly people, etc. Are both cities safe? Any tips are welcome.
|
| I’m a musician and live in Austin. I think the music here is the best in Texas. In fact, Austin’s nickname is “The live music capital of the world.” I can send you the names of some cool music clubs. We have fantastic restaurants here, too.
|
| Definitely visit San Antonio.The river walk is one of the most popular things for visitors to do. There’s a lot to do outdoors here, too. And everyone in Texas is very friendly. See my photos.
|
| I disagree with Rocker. I think music is better in San Antonio. I have lived in both cities. There is a lot to do outdoors in Austin, but there is just more to do in San Antonio.
|
| Both cities are safe, so don’t worry. I live in Houston. It’s the largest city in Texas. You should visit here instead. Read my travel blog at richard23cub.ore.
|
| San Antonio has the best food in Texas. Do you like Tex-Mex food? You should go in spring or fall (Summer is hot!). I suggest travelling by bus. It’s not expensive.
