1 . Many children like to go hiking (徒步旅行).Why? Because they can be free from school and their homework. They can enjoy beautiful nature, play with friends or family. If you want to have a happy hike, you must pay attention to (注意) the following:
First, find a good day. Fine weather is the most important for a happy hiking. 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 will not have a great time. So, find the person who has the same interest as you.
Then, find the right place. Different people have different ideas about the places. For me, I like to go to the beach for a hike. I like to walk along the beach, listening to the sound of the sea and watching children play.
Finally, think of what you need to get ready before going hiking. To have a nice hike, you must have comfortable shoes, enough water and some food. Now you can go hiking.

2 . Li Meixi is a 12-year-old girl from Chengdu, Sichuan. When she sees fashionable people on the street, she tries to keep away from them. “I am afraid that they think I’m out of fashion,” said Li. This is called fashion anxiety(焦虑). It is a hot topic online. These days, many people feel worried about their clothes.
In fact, behind fashion anxiety is fashion bullying(霸凌). Fashion magazines and advertisements(广告)sell the “newest and greatest” trends(趋势). They tell us what to wear. If we don’t follow the trends, we may worry that people think we’re unfashionable. Also, fashion anxiety comes because we are not confident(自信的)enough.
Ideas about fashion anxiety
Do you have fashion anxiety? What do you think about it? Let’s look at how some teenagers feel.
Liu Jiawei, 14, Songyuan, Jilin
I have fashion anxiety. When I see some people wearing trendy clothes, I dare(敢)not look at them. But this doesn’t bring me much trouble. I still want to buy good-value(性价比高的)clothes. Being suitable is of great importance.
Yin Peixin, 11, Wuhan, Hubei
I love fashion. But my fashion taste is a little more traditional, such as long dresses and skirts. I don’t like fashion trends like green hair and ripped(破洞的)jeans. It’s just so strange to me! I don’t think I have fashion anxiety. But I feel bad for people with fashion anxiety. They shouldn’t be ashamed(羞愧的)of their clothes, because everyone is different—they are special in their own way.
What is fashion?
Fashion is about comfort and feeling good. —Max Azria, US fashion designer
Fashion is everything that goes out of fashion. —Jean Cocteau, French designer
Fashion is not something that is only in dresses. Fashion is in the sky, in the street. Fashion has to do with ideas, the way we live, what is happening. —Coco Chanel, French fashion desigher
In fact, fashion changes every season. Anyone can make it. If you can wear something with confidence, you will be the one starting a trend. Clothes just show what you look like, not who you are. What matters in inner(内心的)beauty.

3 . Is it a celebrity’s (名人)job to be a good role model? Please read the following students’ debate.
Pros(正方) | Cons(反方) |
It’s a celebrity’s job to be a good role model because people usually look up to stars. If a celebrity drinks and smokes, his fans will follow him because they look up to the celebrity so much. If a celebrity’s lifestyle is improper for kids, then their parents should be more careful about what they let their kids see. | A celebrity doesn’t have to try to be a good role model. They are famous because they worked hard at what they love for a living. They should try to make good choices for themselves, not their fans. Lots of stars have to post apology(道歉)letters after being caught doing bad things. It’s good, but if the only reason is to win back their fans, it’s not good. |
I think everyone should try to be a good role model, even if you are not a celebrity! You can still be a role model to your sisters and brothers, a younger neighbor, or anyone. But I think celebrities should be very good, because they are role models for so many people! | Although it is a wonderful thing to be a good role model, that’s not what the celebrities must do. They are famous because they love what they do and are good at it. Being a role model is never in the job. If the celebrity knows they are affecting the young people, they should try hard to set a good example. |

8 . In today's world, many people seem to be hungry for money. Money does have this most useful effect(影响) on the poor. But even if a person has already got plenty of money, he or she can't have everything.
If money were everything, all millionaires (百万富翁) would have real love,true friendship, good health and a long life. However, this is not always correct.Since the beginning of time no three words have ever invited more pleasure than "I love you". But can love be bought? I'm afraid not. Love means to give, not to take.To every person, health and a long life are probably the best things. Well, can health and a long life be bought with money? The answer is "no".
Of all the longest living people in the world, few of them are millionaires. True friendship can't be bought, either. In a word, where money is dreamed too much, it can cause brothers to quarrel, marriage to end, loves to hate, and strangers to fight.No matter how much money you have, it is still not enough to make a happy person if you have no one to love with, no one to cry for.
1. Getting plenty of money, getting everything.2. The meaning of love is to give, not to take.
3. It's true that health and a long life can't be bought with money.
4. Millionaires are the longest living people in the world.
5. Money can't make you a happy person.
There is an old saying that all of us are born with two bags hung on our necks. A small hag in front of us is filled up with other people's faults(缺点),while the big one at the back is full of our own faults. So it's easy to find other people's faults,but it's hard for us to see our faults behind us.
There was a boy,Tommy,who always opened the front bag to cheek what was in it. He saw other people's faults very quickly. When Simon was impatient with him,he said to Simon,"It's so easy for you to get angry. It is hard to be friends with you. "
He told his mother about Jack's fault,“Jack takes my things without asking. He also forgets to return them. " Tommy himself did not like sharing his things with anyone.
When Johnny was too tired to play with him,he said. “You are such a rude person. "
He thought Harry was too proud of his rich parents.
Tommy couldn't get on well with others,but he didn't know why.
If only Tommy would turn the bags around,he would discover his own faults,which were no better than that of Simon,jack,Johnny or Harry.

10 . COVID-19 (新冠肺炎) has made our life very different. Some of us improved our hygiene habits (卫生习惯). Others learned how to cook. And more people fell in love with biking.
Yang Xiaomeng lives 11km away from her workplace in Beijing. The 26-year-old girl has been riding to work for the last three months. “I used to take the underground. But now riding a bike seems to be a safer choice,” she said.
Yang finds that biking is more relaxing and enjoyable than taking the crowded underground. “There is more fresh air on the road. It’s also a good way to stay fit. I’ll keep biking as my new habit,” she said.
According to Xinhua, many people turned from the bus or the underground to biking. The number of people on bikes on Beijing’s bike only lane (车道) goes up by 17.6%, for example.
In other cities around the world, biking is also becoming more popular. London closed large parts of city to cars so that people can ride bikes safely. New York, Berlin and Montreal created new, wider bike lanes for people to ride. These cities believe that if there are safer and more comfortable places for biking, more people will ride hikes in the future. This will make the cities greener and cleaner, and their people happier and healthier.
