Last year, people expressed great surprise at a map. It clearly shows the country’s historic sites and cultural relics (历史古迹和文物). The map was made by Wu Yunjie, who was born in the 1990s, CCTV News reported.
Wu is crazy about cultural relics and has a deep interest in history. When he was in college, he would often make use of his free time to travel around the country, exploring and recording the details of historic sites. In 2020, he started collecting information on cultural relics and making the map.
Wu spent a lot of time on research and carrying out on-site visits. Though faced with many difficulties, Wu has joy in “this job”.
So far, Wu has traveled to nearly 30 provinces and cities across the country, visited over 2,000 cultural relic sites and more than 200 museums, and taken over 300,000 photos.
Now, the map he made has nearly 10,000 historical landmarks with different colors: Red signs (标记) show the cultural relic sites under state protection (国家保护) or the national-level museums, while green signs stand for the provincially protected historical sites.
The map is popular online, and a person posted, “I actually found the old tower around my house on the map!” However, in Wu’s eyes, the map is not perfect. It cannot be shared as an online map yet.
But Wu has been working on improving it. “If possible, I also want to record the cultural relics that have been lost overseas. They may not be able to return to their homeland right now, but the stories that they carry are what we need to know.”

Can you imagine a world without the Internet? It’s surprising to think about it.
Now, China has more than one billion(十亿) Internet users, according to the China Internet Network Information Centre. This is the highest number of user in the world. Today, 66% of Chinese “netizens(网民)” are teenagers. “They spend about thirteen hours every week online,” said Qian Hulin, an Internet expert. Doctor Song in Beijing Xuanwu Hospital said about 14% of Chinese teenager netizens often lasted over ten hours to play online games.
Why do teenagers surf the Internet? The main reasons: surfing the Web can search for information, communicate with others and have fun. On the Internet, teenagers can find out almost anything. And surfing the Web can help students with their homework and widen their knowledge.
Li Dong, a teacher at No. 41 Middle School in Shijiazhuang, likes her students to use the Internet. “When we talk in class, students who surf the Net usually know more background information than the others,” she said.
In addition, people can use the Internet to write letters or stories and send e-mails. Many teens keep in touch with their friends online. It is cheaper than phoning somebody far away and also much quicker. But at the same time, using the Internet too often is bad for our study, work and health. So everyone should treat the Internet properly because the Internet has both advantages and disadvantages.

【推荐2】The Tower of Pisa is one of the most beautiful bell towers in Italy. It is not only beautiful, but also strange—it leans to one side. Today it is known as “the Leaning Tower of Pisa”.
The building of the tower began in 1173. It took nearly 200 years to complete. In 1178, when the building got to the third floor, it started to lean. The builders tried to make the tower straight again when they built the upper floors, but failed.
Over the years, the tower has continued to lean further. Experts have done a lot of studies and tried to “rescue” the tower. In 1990, it was closed to the public for safety reasons. After a lot of effort, it reopened in 2001. Hopefully it will be safe for at least the following 300 years.

Some people think only school children do not agree with their parents, however, it is not true. Communication (沟通) is a problem for people of all ages. If it’s hard for you to communicate with your parents, don’t worry about it. Here is some advice for you to solve the problem.
Don’t argue (争辩) with your parents. Don’t go to your parents when you are angry. Go somewhere to cool off. Make sure you understand why you are unhappy. Then think about what you want to say to your parents. It’s better to talk with your parents after you calm down. If you are so angry that you can’t speak to them at the moment, try writing a letter.
Try to reach a compromise (和解). Perhaps you and your parents disagree on something. You can keep your disagreement and try your best to accept each other. Michael’s mother didn’t agree with him about using a mobile phone. They argued over it, but they finally came to a compromise. Michael can use the mobile phone, but only on certain days.
Of course, your parents might refuse to compromise on something. So it is especially important to show love and respect (尊敬) to them. Showing respect will keep your relationship strong.
Talk about your values (价值观). Sometimes the values of your parents are different from those of your own. Tell your parents what you care about, and why. Understanding your values can help them see your purposes (目的) in life.
A good relationship with your parents can make you a better and happier person. It is worth having a try!
