【推荐1】Chinese New Year is a time when families and friends get together. Food plays a very important part in the celebrations.
At the New Year’s Eve dinner, families often have eight or nine different dishes. This is because eight and nine are lucky numbers. The Chinese word “eight” rhymes with the word for good fortune. The word “nine” means long-lasting.
Many foods at the feast have a special reason for being included: dumplings, because they look like golden nuggets; a whole fish or chicken to represent togetherness and good fortune; long noodles, to bring long life; oranges, because they are perfectly round and are symbols of good luck. Also, the Chinese word for orange sounds a lot like the word for success. It is a New Year’s tradition to take oranges when visiting people’s homes.
Sticky rice cakes and sweets are also served. There is a legend about a Kitchen God who reports to the Jade Emperor in heaven on whether families have been good or bad during the year. According to the legend, when families serve the Kitchen God foods that are sticky and sweet, his mouth gets stuck together and he can’t report any bad things about the family to the Jade Emperor.

【推荐2】When you see your favorite food on a red plate, you probably feel hungry. But you feel hungrier when it’s on a white plate. Can you guess why this happens? According to recent research, colors have a great influence on our eating.
Firstly, colors can really affect (影响) our feelings about food. For example, when you add red dye to water, it tastes sweeter than normal water, as if you’ve added sugar. The red color makes you feel that the water is very nice to drink.
However, the food that you think is the most delicious will probably taste worse to you if you change its color to blue. This is because blue is not a very natural color for food.
Besides, colors can also affect how much we eat. In one experiment, people were asked to serve themselves some pasta (意大利面食) with white sauce. The people with red plates ate a small portion (一份). However, the people with white plate ate much more.

With easy access to cameras on mobile phones and other devices, many people take photos every day. Phone cameras have many fun features. You can add colors to the photos that make them artistic and full of life. Even with a wide variety of filters(滤镜) and features, it still takes skill to capture amazing pictures. With a few tips, you can improve your photos and follow in the steps of great photographers.
Tip 1 Choose your subject. It could be a landscape, people, animals or objects.
Tip 2 Keep your background simple with all white or black to make your subject standout.
Tip 3 Hold your camera steady. This may be harder than it seems, but don’t let shaky hands ruin your pictures.
Tip 4 Remember the rule of thirds. Imagine your picture is divided into three equal parts. Place the subject to the side rather than in the middle of the frame.
Tip 5 If you are taking nature shots, use leading lines to draw the viewer’s eye into the scene. Examples might be railway tracks, fences, or a row of trees.
Tip 6 Give your subject space to move. For example, if a dog is running across the lawn, frame the shot so that there is room in front of the animal for it to run into that empty space. Don’t cut it off too closely.
Tip 7 Think about colors. Just as you would plan colors for a painting, try to find color schemes(配色方案) that work well.

【推荐3】Bush schooling (丛林教育) comes from Europe. It is also known as forest schooling and is generally (通常) only for kindergarten children. Bush school students learn by playing in the forests. In recent years, a number of bush primary schools have appeared in Australia.
Upper Sturt Primary School is one of them. Students spend around 60 percent of their time outdoors learning from nature. The school has designed a bush village with huge sandpits (沙坑), tents and fire pits. There the children take part in many different activities, such as woodworking, singing in the tents and cooking over open fires. Their teachers are always around if they need any help.
The school asks students to come up with a topic for each semester (学期) of study. Teachers then design lessons around that topic. The topic of “wind”, for example, starts with making kites. Other wind-related lessons are then built in, including math, English, geography, art and other courses.
“Our students really enjoy learning,” the school’s headmaster said proudly. “They are creative and have a happy childhood!”
