2 . The Chinese actor, Wang Luoyong, touched the hearts of many Chinese in the USA. He read a letter by Zhuge Liang to the emperor of Shu during the Three Kingdoms (三国) period in the new season of Growling Tiger, Roaring Dragon (《虎啸龙吟》).
The letter has been read by so many students. We had never thought that the text written in old Chinese could be so beautifully read in another language. As a result, foreigners begin to show interest in Romance of the Three Kingdoms, translated by C.H. Brewitt Tailor and Robert E. Hegel.
Earlier in November, 1979, pupils in England were able to watch a new TV program called Monkey. Most of them were hearing the story for the first time. However, the story of the Monkey King isn’t new to Chinese children in the traditional Chinese book Journey to the West.
As soon as the TV program came out, Western children became interested in reading this story because the clever Monkey King keeps fighting to help the weak and never gives up.
Chinese scholars (学者) should do a better job of introducing Chinese literature (文学) to the rest of the world. At the same time, we could encourage Western schools to try something different.
Reading international literature is a good way of understanding other people in the world. And the more we understand each other, the more beautiful the world will be.

4 . Celebrating western holidays, following K-pop bands and going abroad to study, many young people are thought to be not as patriotic (爱国的) as their parents or grandparents.
But data has shown that young Chinese people have demonstrated(表现) a growing sense of national pride and patriotism in recent years.
According to website of the Communist Youth League of China, a central association representing young people, the organization has more than 15.7 million followers on SinaWeibo. Each post related to topics such as national unity(团结), patriotism and the country’s development has received thousands of comments and “likes”.
On March 5, the league wrote a post celebrating the 123rd anniversary of the birth of China’s first premier, Zhou Enlai, with thousands of young internet users leaving comments expressing how lucky and happy they felt to be living in the country.
One user, “Xu Baobao”, posted: “We’ll contribute our young energy to national rejuvenation(复兴).” Another wrote, “May we use our youth to protect China.”
Young people not only expressed their patriotism in words, but also through action. In 2019, when riots(骚乱) related to an extradition(引渡逃犯) bill broke out in Hong Kong, an online community known as Di Bar, comprising young Chinese living around the world, launched a campaign to explain the issue to a global audience and to voice support for the city’s police on digital platforms.
Chinese youths’ patriotism may actually be stronger than ever, and with good reason. Guo Yuanyuan, associate dean of the School of Culture and Communication at Capital University of Economics and Business, said, “ The great material improvement can give young people more room for spiritual life.”
“Our older generations experienced a very difficult time, and before reform and opening-up, the economy was far behind those in the West. Now, with China rising to become the second largest economy in the world, making us roughly on par (不相上下) with the West in many respects, young people’s patriotic sentiment has naturally risen.”

5 . The Internet joins millions of computers all over the world, and today it is used by people all over the world. It was invented in the 1960s in the USA. The American government needed a network of computers for its army. Then in the 1970s scientists and business people also wanted to use the Internet to send and receive messages. For some years, they weren’t allowed to use the US network, and when they were allowed to, the messages were in very simple text without photos.
The World Wide Web was invented by a British scientist named Tim Berners-Lee in 1989. He wanted to send documents to other scientists, so he developed the World Wide Web. This allowed him to send and receive scientific documents with text, drawings and photos(also called multimedia documents). In the 1990s, more and more people began to use the Internet and the World Wide Web.
So what’s the difference between the Internet and the World Wide Web?The Internet is the hardware. It allows us to communicate with other people. The World Wide Web is the software. It allows us to create, see and read multimedia documents.
The Web is made up of millions of documents called Web pages. These pages are held in computers all over the world. Many people have a favorite website with a number of Web pages on the same subject.
The email is a way of using your computer to send and receive messages. It’s cheaper and quicker to use emails than send normal mails. New users call the normal mail “snail mail” because it’s too slow. It took 50 years for 100 million people to listen to the radio. It took 15 years for 100 million people to watch television. By the year 2000, it had taken only about three years for 100 million people to use the Internet. What will happen next on the Internet?

6 . February 14 is a day for people who have fallen in love. On this day? these men and women give gifts (presents) and cards to each other for Valentine’s Day (情人节). This day has been popular with people in love for a long time. At first, this holiday was called Lupercalia. Then the name of the day was changed to Saint Valentine’s Day.

Before Saint Valentine was killed, February 14 was the old Roman holiday, Lupercalia. The church wanted people to think of a Christian holiday on this day, so the church changed the name of the holiday.
This change did not stop people in love from giving gifts to each other. People usually gave gloves, handkerchiefs, or even underwear was gifts. Sometimes people also put hearts and flowers on the presents before giving it to the other persons.
Valentine cards did not become popular until the 1750s. The first Valentine cards were made by hand. People wrote their own words on the cards. These words were usually funny.

Many years later I finally saw the Leaning Tower of Pisa. I then knew that it was Pisa and not pizza. But there was still something special about it for me. The tower got its name because it really did lean to one side. Some people want to try to fix it. They are afraid it may fall down and they don’t want it to lean over the city.
I do not think it’s a good idea to try to fix it. The tower probably will not fall down. It is 600 years old. Why should anything happen to it now? And, if you ask me,I like what it looks like. Nothing is perfect. It seems to say.
And who cares? Why do people want things to be perfect? Imperfect things may be more interesting. Let’s take the tower in Pisa. Why is it so famous? There are many other older, more beautiful towers in Italy. But the Leaning Tower of Pisa is the most famous. People come from all over the world to see it.

8 . In American schools there is something called Homecoming Day. Many high schools and colleges with a football team have a homecoming game. This can be the most important thing of the year except graduation of commencement day(毕业典礼日). Students plan Homecoming Day for many weeks in advance(预先).
Several days before Homecoming students start to decorate the school. There are signs to wish luck to the team and many other signs to welcome all the graduates. Many people still come to Homecoming twenty or thirty years after their graduation.
The members of school clubs build booths(摊位)and sell lemonade, apples and sandwiches. Some clubs help to welcome the visitors.
During the day people like to look for teachers that they remember from long ago. Often they see old friends and they talk together about those happy years in school.
Everyone soon comes to watch the football game. When the game is half over, the band comes onto the field and plays school songs. Another important moment is when the Homecoming Queen or King appears. All the students vote a most popular student as Homecoming Queen or King. It is a great honor(荣誉)to be chosen.
