 Eyeing glory (荣誉) at 2026 Games A 24-year-old speed skater Gao Tingyu who won 500m gold in Beijing hopes to spend time with his family in his hometown of Yichun. He has some injuries right now, so he needs to rest, prepare for the 2026 Winter Olympics. Many of the Olympians are calling us on to take part in winter sports with the success of Beijing 2022. Winter sports are becoming more popular in China.  ____________ In April, Liu Keng Hung. a singer and coach from Taiwan, and his wife became famous online because of their strong exercise with the background music of Taiwan singer Jay Chou. The number of Liu’s fans grows from nearly 10 million to about 46 million on short-video platform Douyin (抖音平台). Liu’s great popularity means that more and more people love the indoor exercise. Who could say no to a star singer as a personal trainer?  Live healthier lives In my early 20s, “I’m too busy” became a good excuse to avoid exercise. After work, I used to fall into bed once I got home, and stayed on the sofa on weekends. Then the problems became clear: I always felt tired even if I slept for 10 hours. My skin turned a dull yellow. I put on weight as I grew older, hitting almost 65 kilos. Also, I had a bad temper. I believe this is because I have no exercise habit. All those problems have disappeared since I started eating healthily and working out regularly. |

My school is about to hold basketball competition. Many of my classmates cheer(为加油)for our players and watch them practice every day. I don’t always have time to cheer with them, since I’m so busy with my schoolwork. But I feel like I will be left out if I don’t join them. What should I do?
Adam
Dear Adam,
This does sound like a difficult situation. On one hand, it can be fun to cheer for your team, and of course it’s nice to hang out with your friends and cheer along with them. They probably wish that you could be there to have fun with them. But your studies are also important. You need to get good grades in school.
Actually, that makes me wonder— how do your classmates have time to cheer for the team, but you don’t? Shouldn’t they also be busy with their schoolwork? Maybe you can ask them how they manage to have so much free time. Or maybe you just need to use some more time in the evenings to catch up on your work. If you can finish more schoolwork at home, you should have more time to cheer with your friends later. Hopefully you can cheer for your team soon.

Xiao Wu from Tianjin
| I rode my e-bike as soon as I received the order. It was dark at 4:00 a.m. When I got there, couldn’t find the customer for a long time. So I had to go back, but then my e-bike didn’t work. What’s worse, I got all wet because of the heavy rain on my way back. |
Xiao Liu from Beijing
| Yesterday I sent two bottles of sour milk. I was ten minutes late because of the icy (结冰的) street and thick snow. Finally, the customer was quite angry and even poured (倒) the milk onto the ground. He called my boss to lodge a complaint. I got a fine of 50 yuan the next day. |
Lao Hu from Shijiazhuang
| Now I have to lie in bed. A car hit me when I was sending take-out food last Wednesday. With no street lights, I didn’t see the hole (坑) until I fell down from my e-bike.
