In a town, every year there used to be one lumberjack (伐木工) competition. The rule for the competition was simple, who cut the most trees at the end of the day would be the winner. This year there were only two men in the final. One was old and experienced while the other was younger and stronger.
During the competition, the younger lumberjack could hear the sound from the other side of the forest where the older lumberjack was cutting trees. He could hear the sound of trees falling on the older man’s side. The younger man noticed that once in a while, the sound of trees falling would stop from the older man’s side.
From this, the younger man guessed that the older lumberjack was taking a rest to get his stamina (耐力) back. The younger man took it as a chance and took that time to cut more trees without taking any rest.
At the end of the competition, the younger lumberjack looked at the woods he cut and felt confident (自信). He felt happy that he would win because he didn’t take a rest like the older lumberjack and continued to cut trees down from the beginning of the competition till the end.
At the medal ceremony, the younger man stood there confidently that he would be given the prize of being the first of the competition. Next to him was the older man who was looking much less tired than the younger man.
When the result was announced, the young man was shocked. He heard that the older man won the competition. The younger man turned to the older lumberjack and said. “How can this be even possible? After every hour you would stop cutting trees and take a rest while I was still cutting trees but you won…”
The older man turned to him and replied, “Yes, I stopped cutting trees after every hour. But it was not just for a rest, I also took that time to sharpen (磨快) my tools.”

5 . Autumn is here. Why not go outdoors and discover the world of fungi (真菌)? Fungi are everywhere—not just under our feet when we go for a walk, but living on surfaces everywhere, even in the air we breathe. Autumn is the perfect time for all kinds of fungi to grow.
There’s no doubt that fungi are not animals since nobody has seen them moving around. “Then they have to be some kinds of plants,” you may think, but no. They are not plants because they do not make their own food from sunlight and air. Instead, they get food by digesting (消化) wood, leaves, and dead things.
If fungi are not animals or plants, then what are they? Well, scientists put fungi in their own kingdom, completely separate from animals and plants. Fungi come in all shapes, colors, and forms. Scientists think that there are at least 1.5 million kinds of fungi in total. Humans have found only about 100, 000. “I never know what I might find in the forest,” said Greg Mueller, are expert in fungi.
When referring to vegetables, fungi are commonly known as mushrooms (蘑菇). Mushrooms are delicious food, but you should NEVER eat wild mushrooms. Many wild mushrooms can easily cause sickness or even death. The only way to know if a mushroom is safe is to have an expert take a good look at it or buy it from the supermarket. NEVER taste even a tiny bit.
The world of fungi is fascinating (极有吸引力的). The next time you are out in a park or forest, taking a look around you will have great fun!

Wen Shishan has been making oilpaper umbrellas for more than 30 years. As an intangible cultural heritage inheritor (非物质文化遗产传承人) of the art in Fuyang District in Hangzhou, Zhejiang Province, Wen has made 10 umbrellas to celebrate the 19th Asian Games Hangzhou on September 23, 2023.
The 59-year-old told China Daily, “The Asian Games is an important event in Asia. I hope to use the chance to improve the international popularity of oilpaper umbrellas. I also hope to improve oilpaper umbrella culture during the Games,” Wen said.
Production includes 106 steps, from selecting and cutting bamboo, to sticking it onto the paper shade, drying it in the sun and brushing it with oil. The process usually takes about 15 days. And the bamboo used should be at least 6 years old and should be soaked (浸泡) for a month to remove sugars to stave off decay.
The oilpaper umbrella were used on rainy days, as well as during weddings and ceremonies. They are traditionally associated (有关联的) with wishes for quick progress and happiness. Now, beautifully drawn and more decorative (装饰性的) than functional, they are found for sale at tourist sites or used in hotels as decorations.
In 2012, the Zhejiang Fuyang oilpaper umbrella was listed as an intangible culture heritage, drawing increasing attention to the handicraft (手工艺).

| In ancient China, bell and drum towers used to play the role of clocks in telling people the time. The bell sounded at dawn (黎明) and the drum at dusk (黄昏). Today, bell and drum towers remain in some time-honored (久享盛名的) cities like Beijing and Xi’an. The Bell and Drum Towers in Xi’an are symbols of the city’s rich past. |
| In Guangdong, many local people start a day with morning tea at a tea house. For them, it is the most important meal of the day. They go out to meet friends, eat and have fun. Guangdong morning tea is not just tea. It is a special breakfast with different kinds of snacks and tea. For the local people in Guangdong, drinking morning tea at a tea house is not only a lifestyle but also an important way of social communication. |
| The Fish Festival is a traditional festival of Miao People in Guizhou. It’s from June 2 to 16 of the Chinese lunar calendar. Fish-catching includes catching fish from the sky as well as taking them in the river. A group of people jump into the river and try to catch fish. At the same time, another group tries to catch fish that people throw into the air. If one catches one fish, he will get good luck. Besides fish-catching, other activities include bamboo pole dancing, winding Lusheng (a traditional Miao instrument) and singing Miao songs. The festival usually ends in a happy water fight. |

Waste sorting (分类) is important. It is environment-friendly and helps to save resources (资源). Now, more and more Chinese people are starting to sort out the rubbish before throwing it away. We are happy to see some fine examples.
The app also makes use of speech recognition (语音识别) technology. With the help of this technology, users can just speak out the name of the rubbish, and then the rubbish bin will open.
Waste sorting isn’t really difficult, and we just need time to get familiar (熟悉的) with it. Of course, technology can help us to do it better.

9 . With the help of a new mobile app called Farm Assistant, developed by Wu Zeyin, farmers in Botswana can make their work much easier. Wu from Hubei Province, moved to Botswana with his family seven years ago. He is only 11 years old now.
Fewer trees and dry weather are the norm (通常情况) in most parts of the country, making it difficult to grow common crops. Botswana had to import (进口) many grains, fruits and vegetables from neighboring countries, such as South Africa, to meet the needs of its people.
To deal with food shortages, Botswana has carried out a series of cooperation (合作) with China. In July last year, a test project to grow China’s water-saving and drought-tolerant (耐旱的) rice was finally grown in Gaborone, the capital of Botswana. It brought Wu some new ideas on local farming.
When Wu got the news, he decided to develop an app for agriculture (农业). The app supports eight crops commonly grown locally, including tomatoes, potatoes, onions, corm, carrots, cabbages, eggplants and radishes.
Farmers who use the app can click on the crop picture to see its planting nodes (节点), watering seeds, ripening time, seed price, selling price and yield. After planting the seeds, farmers click the timer to start, and the app reminds them what to do at each step.
Wu quotes (引用) an old saying in China: “Give a man a fish and you feed him for a day; teach him how to fish and you feed him for a lifetime.”
