【推荐3】Live Small

In Europe and North America, the size （规模）of a family is getting smaller, but homes are not; in many countries they are getting bigger. Bigger homes are more expensive, and heating（加热）them in cold weather is bad for the environment（环境）. Many people think it’s time to talk about the size of our homes. Sixteen-year-old Austin Hay is one of them.

Now, Austin is building a home on his parents’ driveway （车道）. It has everything important, like a washroom, a kitchen and a bedroom, but it’s only 2.4 meters wide and 3.7 meters long.

“When I was a child, I wanted to build a tree house,” Austin says. “But this house is on wheels （车轮）, and that’s cool!” Austin doesn’t do any building during the weekdays — he’s busy with homework and playing baseball. But he usually works hard on his house on the weekends. Right now, I’m working on the doors. They’re really easy, so my dad isn’t helping me. He only helps with the difficult things.”

Austin is sleeping in his little house this summer. There isn’t a fireplace, so in the winter he’ll move back across the yard to his parents’ house. And in the future? “Going to college is very expensive in the US, but it’ll be cheap（便宜的）for me because I can take my little house with me. I can live in it anywhere.”

D．quite expensive

4. Why does Austin build his house?

C．Little homes are cheap and good for the environment.	D．Small houses are special and fun for family members.

【推荐1】Do you speak a dialect (方言) in daily life? While many Chinese people speak putonghua, some local dialects are in danger of disappearing. To save them, the Chinese government started the Chinese Language Resources Protection Project a few years ago.

This project looks at how people talk in 1,712 places. Their languages include 103 dialects that are almost gone. It has helped China to build the largest language resource library in the world. There’s an online library where people can learn dialects from over 5.6 million audio clips (音频) and over 5 million videos.

Scholar Zhang Hongming talked about his worries of the disappearing of dialects. “For about over 10 years, in the Wu dialect areas such as Shanghai and Suzhou, children aged 6 to 15 can understand but hardly speak the dialect, young people above 15 years old sometimes speak it, but not very well. If this keeps happening, the dialect might disappear,” he said.

________ According to British linguist Harold Palmer, dialects are a key to store local cultures. Language shows the history, the beliefs and the biases (偏见) of an area.

How did China protect these dialect culture? “A big national hard work has been put into the project to make it happen,” said Cao Zhiyun, the expert on the project. Over five years, more than 350 universities and research groups joined in, along with over 4,500 experts and more than 6,000 dialect speakers.

【推荐3】After work, you go back home, open an app, place your order, and wait for your food to be delivered to your home. This is how many young people eat in China these days. According to the latest report from the China Internet Network Information Center, 421 million Chinese people use online food delivery services. That’s equal to half of the total number of Internet users in China.

Which group of people is ordering food online the most? For sure, it is mainly young people. A recent report that was published by the China Hospitality Association and Meituan, a food delivery service, showed that 86.3 percent of the service’s users are between 20 and 34 years old.

【推荐2】A year ago, I paid no attention to English idioms, though my teacher emphasized the importance again and again. But soon, the importance of English idioms was shown in an amusing experience.
One day, I happened to meet an Englishman on the road, and soon we began to talk. As I was talking about how I was studying English, the foreigner seemed to be astonished, gently shaking his head, shrugging his shoulders, saying , “You don’t say!” I was puzzled, I thought, perhaps this is not a proper topic. “Well, I’d better change the topic” So I said to him, “Well shall we talk about the Great Wall? By the way, have you ever been there?” “Certainly, everyone back home will laugh at me if I leave China without seeing it. It was magnificent.” He was deep in thought when I began to talk like a tourist guide, “The Great Wall is one of the wonders in the world, We are very proud of it.” Soon I was interrupted again by his order “You don’t say!”I couldn’t help asking, “Why do you ask me not to talk about is?” “Well, I didn’t request you to do so,” he answered, greatly surprised .I said , “Didn’t you say you don’t say?” Hearing this, the Englishman laughed into tears .He began to explain, “You don’t say actually means really?
