2 . To stop the spreading of COVID-19, the governments have closed schools and universities. But “study must not stop”, says the education ministry. Under its orders, the country’s biggest exercise in online learning is underway, watched over by different people.

“Keep your history of surfing the Internet.” Lin Kai warns his 11-year-old son, who needs to study online classes given by his teachers. Mr. Lin has reason to be worried. He lives in the city of Hangzhou. He has found his son not being focused because of online games. He wants his son to know that he will check what he did online at the end of the classes.

There are other ways to check students’ study. Liu Weihua, who teaches at Wuhan University of Technology usually calls his students during online classes. Since online tests may not be helpful, he cares more about how his students perform in class discussions, Mr. Liu explains. These are held by using Dingtalk by Alibaba and Ketang by Tencent.

However, not all students are lucky enough to have computers. In poor rural areas, where some families don’t have the Internet, classes could only be given by television. Since February 17th, China Education Network, a state-run（国营的）service, has been providing classes every weekday from 8 a.m. to 10 p.m. to help them study better. And all main subjects, such as math and Chinese, are covered, while they should mainly study by themselves without the helps given by teachers or parents.

With parents, teachers or just a TV, everyone is an online learner. Although kids can learn in different ways, one thing is true that parents and students are looking forward to the re-opening of schools.

4 . The year 2022 will be a big year for sports in China. That’s because it held not only the 24th Winter Olympics in Beijing, but also the 19th Asian Games in Hangzhou.

On August 6th, 2018, the official emblem (会徽) for the Hanghou Asian Games was released (发行). The city won the hosting rights for the 2022 Asian Games in 2015. It was the third Chinese city to host the Asian Games after Beijing and Guangzhou in 1990 and 2010.

First held in 1951, the Asian Games is the largest multi-sport event in Asia. It also means a lot to China. The Beijing Asian Games was the first large international sports event to be hosted by China, China News Service reported.

To make the Games a great success, Chinese people worked hard to prepare. Beijing built a great number of roads and gyms, including the famous Beijing Olympic Sports Center and Asian Games Village. The Games helped the world see China and its achievements. Since then, China has improved its global image (国际形象), China Youth Daily reported.

For the 2022 Asian Games, Hangzhou has already started building 33 sports venues (场馆), according to China Youth Daily. The themes (主题) of the Hangzhou Asian Games are “green, smart, economical (节俭) and civilized (文明)”, All the Games’ buildings will be environmentally friendly.

5 . China has accepted western fashion and technology as it has developed these years, but a lot of young people are turning to the past for their clothes choices and putting on traditional “hanfu”.

As the government encourages the renaissance (复兴) of traditional culture, hunfu is getting more and more popular with the teenagers. Every year, we can enjoy different hanfu shows around the cities. These shows bring us back to the Han dynasty (汉朝). We learn more about the history, culture and beauty from them.

Hanfu hasn’t been in the same style since the Han dynasty. However, this kind of clothes has something in common. They all have large soft robes (袍子), with sleeves that hang down to the knees, so the hands can’t be seen.

In modern China, the hanfu lovers are from history fans, cartoon fans to clothes fans.

“Clothes are the basic part of culture, so both the traditional clothes and modern clothes play the same role in culture,” said Zhang Jun, a famous reporter. “If the people and the country do not even understand our traditional clothes or don’t wear them, how can we talk about other important parts of our culture?”

6 . It is normal to feel a bit worried about exams, especially if you’re under pressure from school or family. Exam stress can cause you to feel nervous or depressed (沮丧的), and this might influence your sleeping or eating habits.

If you have any of these feelings or are worried that exam pressure is taking over your life, you are not alone. Here are some things you can do.

Firstly, let your trusted friends and family know if you’re having a hard time, so they can be there to support you, encourage you and offer a listening ear. You don’t have to go through (经历) this alone. Keeping it all in will only make things worse, so don’t be afraid to open up.

Secondly, think about all the practical support you need, and be honest with yourself about it. You are allowed to ask for help. Tell your teachers about your worries. They may have talked to lots of students who are going through similar things, so they can give you some helpful advice.

Thirdly, be kind to yourself. Think about all the things you have achieved so far. It can be helpful to write a list of all the things you like about yourself, and the things other people value about you, too.

What’s more, deal with pressure from your parents properly. If your parents put pressure on you, you can tell them what you feel able to achieve, and let them know that your expectations are different from theirs. You can also talk to a teacher you trust about the pressure you are under at home.

8 . We all know the dangers of fires. It’s good and necessary for a family to learn how to prepare for a fire. Here are some suggestions.

Put a smoke alarm in the house. Smoke from a fire causes the alarm to go off. The alarm makes a loud sound. The sound tells everyone to leave the house at once.

Make escape plans. We should know all the ways out of the house. If there is a fire, everyone follows the plan to get out. Part of the plan is to check all the windows to make sure they can be opened easily.

Buy fire extinguishers (灭火器) in the house. Everyone in the family should know how to use them.

Practice for a fire. We do fire practice because we teach children about fire safety. Everyone in the family should know the following fire rules:

★Don’t open a hot door! The fire can grow more quickly if you open the door.

★Stay close to the floor! Smoke can be more dangerous than fire. The best air is near the floor because smoke rises.

★What will you do if your hair or clothes start to burn? First, stop! Don’t run! The fire burns faster because of more air. Drop! Fall to the floor. Then roll! Turning over and over will make the fire go out.

There are many possible causes for fires. A wise family is ready for a fire all the time.

10 . A lot of people have the habit of reading on the toilet. But in some public restrooms in Shanghai, you won't be able to do that. If you spend more than fifteen minutes on the smart toilet there, a restroom worker will come to check on you.

According to reports, about 150 high-tech restrooms have been built in the city. Each toilet there has a sensor(传感器) that can check when a person sits on the toilet and how long he has spent sitting there. Besides, the sensor can also check the air quality inside the toilet and check the water level to save water. Beijing, Guangzhou and Shenzhen are also going to use smart toilets.

"I think it's okay with me because I don't think it's a good idea to read on the toilet," a 22-year-old young man said. However, some people aren't very happy with the smart toilet." This could be embarrassing for me. Since I was a little kid, I've always spent about half an hour on the toilet. It means a restroom worker would check on me twice. This makes me nervous." another person, Mr.Liu said.

In fact, the smart toilet is part of China's effort to use artificial intelligence(AI)(人工智能) in different areas of life. Now technology is being used almost everywhere. More than 700 cities in China have planned or are in the process of building smart infrastructure(基础设施). Our life is becoming much smarter and easier, isn't it?
