1 . 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.”

2 . Sometimes people come into your life and you know that they were sure to be there at once. They may come for some reasons teach you a lesson or help to find out who you are or who you want to become. You never know who these people maybe: your classmates, neighbor, teacher, long-lost friend or even a real stranger. But you know that they will affect (影响) your life in some serious ways.
Sometimes things happen to you. Maybe they seem terrible, painful(痛苦的) and unfair at that time. But later, after getting over those difficulties, you may realize your further ability. Everything happens for a reason and nothing happens by chance or with good or bad luck.
The people you meet may affect or change your life, your success, your failure and create who you are. Even the bad experiences can be learned from. In fact, they are possibly the most poignant and important ones.
Enjoy every day, even every moment for you may never be able to experience it again. Talk to people you have never talked to before, and really listen. You should set your sights high, try to learn more, hold your head up, tell yourself you are a great one and believe in yourself.
You can make your life anything you wish. Create your own life, go out and enjoy it.

3 . There are millions of recipes (菜谱) hidden in the boxes and hearts of grandmother and parents. These family recipes are a special part of our family history. People have passed down some of them from generation (一代人) to generation.
“I realized I couldn’t go home every weekend for my mom's delicious dishes,” says Shreya. She is about to enter university and has recently started following her mother around the kitchen, taking notes on how to make her special tastes. She adds, “I am looking to the day when my kids will come to know of their grandmothers through the dishes they cooked.”
But many of us find it difficult to keep the food connection with our busy life. Even if we have time, not many of us take the effort to collect and record the recipes from our grandmothers and parents. We often get a recipe on the phone and take it down quickly on a piece of paper. We just stick it onto the fridge for a week or two and forget about it as soon as the paper disappears.
Actually, there are simple ways to keep family recipes. Scrapbooks (剪贴薄) are easily found in the market. You can even add photos to record every detail of your memories about the recipe. You can also use some popular apps like Story Scans to record family recipes. You just scan (扫描) the recipes and record the story behind each of them. It can become the most meaningful work you have ever done with and for your family.
Keeping family recipes is saving and honoring our tradition so that future generations can continue to make family ties stronger. Every time you remember your loved ones, recreate one of the dishes from your collection and let the memories from the good old days comfort you. So why not gift your kids a family recipe book when they are starting a new life?

4 . Your Internet experience is ruined(严重受损的) when the speed is too slow—it takes so long to open a web page and the show you’re watching stops every few minutes. This can cross you.
But this could become a thing of the past. On June 3, 2019, the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology(中华人民共和国工业和信息化部) announced(宣布) that China would allow the commercialization(商业化) of 5G. This means major(主要的) telecom carries(电信运营商) will start to provide 5G services.
5G promises much faster data(数据) download(下载) and upload(上载) speeds, and more stable(稳定的) connections. This means that you will be able to download an HD movie in seconds and only experience a short delay(延迟) when sending and receiving data. According to the Straits Times(海峡时报), 5G will be able to improve many most modern technologies, such as driverless cars, wearable devices(设备) and entertainment(娱乐).
With a 5G network, the short delay in information exchange(交换) will allow driverless cars to run more safely, as they will be able to communicate in real time and avoid dangers. At the same time, 5G-enabled(启用5G的) wearable devices will keep doctors paying attention to the health conditions of their patients all the time and warn them at once if there’s something wrong. VR games will become more popular with 5G. The short delay of 5G will make the games feel even more real.

7 . Green is an important color in nature. It is the color of grass and the leaves on trees. It is the color of most growing plants,too.
Sometimes, the word green means young,fresh and growing. Sometimes,it describes something that is not yet finished or plants that are not ripe.
For example,a greenhorn is someone who has no experience,who is new to a situation. In the fifteenth century,a greenhorn was a young cow or ox whose horns had not yet developed. A century or so later,a greenhorn was a soldier who had not yet had any experience in war（战争）.By the eighteenth century,a greenhorn had the meaning it has today——a person who is new in a job.
About one hundred years ago,greenhorn was a popular expression in the American west Old—timers used it to describe a man who had just arrived from one of the big cities in the east. The greenhorn didn't have the skills that he would need to live in the hard,rough country.
Someone who has the ability to grow plants well is said to have a green thumb. The expression comes from the early nineteen hundred.
A person with a green thumb seems to have a magic touch that makes plants grow quickly and well. You might say that the woman next door has a green thumb if her garden continues to grow long after your plants have died.
The Green Revolution（革命）is the name which was given some years ago to the development of new kinds of rice and other grains. The new plants produced much larger crops. The Green Revolution was the result of hard work by agricultural（农业的）scientists who had green thumbs.

8 . Nowadays，Chinese students all have heavy study tasks. They are busy with their study all the time. They always feel stressed. A recent survey by the Nightline Association found that 65% of students feel very stressed. Too much stress influences students' study. So a famous expert gives two main pieces of advice to reduce the stress of students.

Juices are filled with vitamin C，such as orange or grape fruit juice. it is said that they are good for your immune system（免疫系统）.What's more，healthy diet can help you reduce the study stress. Don't eat some snacks in the break between classes.
