Dragon Heads-raising Day is also called Spring Dragon Festival. It is on the second day of the second lunar(农历) month. It’s on February 21st this year. It came from an old story. After that day, the Dragon King will wake up from his winter sleep and bring more rain. So that day is the start of spring and farming season.
One of the most interesting things related to the day is about haircut. People believe that a haircut during the first lunar month is not a good idea. It may bring bad things to your uncles.

Music has a positive (积极的) effect on young children’s development!
New research shows that music has a good influence on young children’s cognitive (认知的) skills, such as spatial reasoning (空间推理) and memory. Research also shows that offering children an interesting environment can support children’s healthy growth and development.

Children might have difficulty joining in activities with others because they are shy, have limited language ability or special needs, but they can freely take part in a music activity.
Music makes young children happy!
Children seem to experience much pleasure and joy when listening to music, making music and dancing to music.

4 . Since 2017, short videos have gotten millions of opinions online. Many people make and share short videos on popular video apps like Douyin and Kuaishou. In these popular apps, you can even add music and special effects (特效) to your videos. A video usually lasts 15 seconds to a few minutes. People in the videos usually do things like cooking, exercising and singing.
Teenagers enjoy these videos very much. More than 50 percent of junior high school students said they enjoy themselves while watching these short videos. About 47 percent have posted their own videos, according to a recent report by the China National Youth Palace Association.
The videos let teenagers see something funny and exciting. Many teenagers like to share the fun things they do with others as well. For example, a 12-year-old user named Xiaoqianyu posted videos to show her jazz dance. This made her win many fans.
However, the videos can also cause trouble. Some students spend too much time watching them and less time studying. Some videos are not appropriate for teenagers. Watching these videos is bad for teenagers’ study and life.
To deal with these problems, Douyin added a new function in April. It locks the app if someone uses the app for over two hours a day. In the same month, the government asked the video companies to control these apps and take out the bad videos. The apps have been checked and controlled much more strictly since then, the Beijing News reported.

5 . What will the world of tomorrow look like? Many people today believe that technology is going to help solve some of the most difficult problems we have on Earth today. New technology may solve old problems, and it may also create new ones. No technology is perfect. Each has advantages and disadvantages, as these three examples.
When we dream about the future, many of us think that we will be able to fly to the skies in our own personal flying car. We could fly at 480 km per hour, avoiding traffic lights and busy roads. However, if the cars become popular, there will be problems with traffic control.
3D printing is another new technology for the future. 3D printers are already used to make life-size models of car parts, and man-made body parts, such as ears. As we move into the future, 3D printing will change the way we make things and the way we treat sick people. The disadvantage is that such a machine is very expensive.
Finally, people are trying to build a robot suit(套装). This is an electronic suit. It allows people to lift heavy objects and walk a long way. It might help people walk again after an illness or an accident. However, one disadvantage at the moment is cost.
Looking ahead, it is easy to imagine a future. We will be able to fly to work, print out a new pair of shoes or lift a car above our heads. Although there are some problems to solve before all of this is possible, we can certainly dream of a world. In this world, technology makes people’s life easier and safer. It can solve some of the most difficult problems we have today.
