1 . Many children like to go hiking. Why? Because they can be free from school and their homework. They can also see beautiful views(景色), play with friends or family and so on. If you want to go for a hike, how can you have a happy one?
First, the weather must be good. Fine weather is the most important for a happy hike. If the weather is good, you can do a lot of things, like riding horses, going bike riding, swimming in the river, flying kites and playing ball games.
Second, go with the people you like. If you go hiking with the people you don’t like, you won’t have a great time. So, find the person who has the same interest as you.
Third, find the right place. Different people have different ideas about the places. For me, I would like to go for a hike at the seaside. I like to walk along the beach, listen to the sound of the sea and watch children playing.
Lastly, think of what you need to prepare before going hiking. To have a nice hike, you must have comfortable shoes, enough water and some food.

2 . Wu Yue, a 14-year-old student at a Junior High School in Hangzhou, usually has lunch with his classmates in their dining hall. But one day, a newcomer, the school headmaster, joined them at the same table. They talked about the food that the dining hall offered and had a nice chat.
Wu is not alone. Many students across China have the chance to eat with their headmasters. The government issued a notice on food safety and nutrition (营养) management in schools, asking headmasters from kindergarten to high school to have meals with students. The rule took effect (生效) on April 1st.
Many schools now have seats for school managers when they eat with students in the dining hall. After talking with them, the managers have to write reports and make suggestions to dining hall workers. Many students were asked about the food that they liked most. To their surprise, their favorite dishes appeared in the dining hall later. “It’s not just about the food. It makes me feel that I have a say in school,” explained one student. “My ideas are valued.”
Some headmasters regard these mealtime conversations as their main chance to communicate with students. And they notice that some students prefer meat to vegetables. “We are thinking about how to improve the dining hall’s dishes and provide students with a healthy diet,” one headmaster said. As students become more familiar with the school managers, they begin to express their own points of view.
“It’s important to understand students’ requirements. Our practice shows the school’s sense of responsibility,” another headmaster said.

It is a popular day for giving additional（另外的）gifts. It has been celebrated for so long, but nobody exact knows how it started.
Some people believe Boxing Day began in the Middle Ages. In those days, in some special places there were special collection boxes where people threw money for the poor. The day after Christmas the boxes were opened, and the money was counted. Then the money went to helping the poor in the area.
