Young People’s Day Camp (YPDC) has been providing wonderful summers for the children of Central New Jersey (新泽西中部) since 1972. Now we are preparing for a new summer and it will be our most exciting summer ever.

Our camp is in beautiful Roosevelt Park with a library and a museum. As a former (昔日的) baseball player, I feel the need to keep teenagers healthy. So we will offer a special training program. This program will cover different sports for each child through the summer camp.

We use 20-passenger buses. We will pick up (接) each child between 7:30 am and 8:15 am with door to door transportation. Children will be home between 3:45 pm and 4:30 pm.

Every day my son came home happily. He talked about how much fun he had and what he did. Before the summer was even over, he said, “Mom, I want to go back next year. ” I would like to say thank you and I will see you all next summer.

3 . ①67-year-old Changchub Lhamo used to work at national nature reserve (国家自然保护区) in Riwoche, Tibet. She tried to protect red deer (马鹿) there. Seven years ago, Lhamo retired (退休) but she often returned to the reserve to visit her “friends”. How did their story begin?

②At the age of 15, Lhamo found three baby red deer while farming. She waited all day without seeing their parents, so she decided to take them home. Her family was not rich, but Lhamo tried her best to feed and take care of them. To keep them warm, Lhamo even let them sleep in her room on winter nights.

③The three red deer grew healthily under Lhamo`s good care. Two years later, Lhamo set them free to the wild. She said, “I didn`t want to leave them, but I knew that nature was their home.” To Lhamo’s surprise, the three red deer later returned to visit her often.

④The story of Lhamo and the red deer touched many people, and it even reached to the government. They set up a pasture for the red deer and invited Lhamo to work there. Lhamo accepted the offer. As the pasture later became a national nature reserve, Lhamo still worked there until she retired.

⑤Now, Lhamo’s two sons also work at the reserve. “I will follow my mom’s steps and protect the wildlife,” said Rinchen Tsephel, one of Lhamo’s sons.

4 . It was a day in April when Yang Yang, a 14-year-old girl, was getting ready to eat in a local restaurant. But then she carelessly dropped a plate full of food. She stood still and was at a loss (不知所措). The restaurant manager (经理) was nice. She comforted Yang, saying, “It doesn`t matter. We can give you another meal for free.”

Everyone thought that this small episode (插曲) would end like that. But, when Yang left after eating, the waiter found 75 yuan and a note on the table. The note said, “I`m sorry that the money might not be enough to make up (弥补) for your loss (损失), but that`s all I have. Thank you for your kindness.” The manager was deeply touched after reading the note. The money was probably a week’s worth of pocket money for the girl.

The manager posted this on social media (媒体) and called on a search for this young girl. Many newspapers re-posted it and joined the search. Finally, Yang was found after her teacher heard about the story. However, Yang thought it was not a big deal. “I have accepted other people’s help and should make up for their kindness,” she said.

People`s Daily commented (评论) on the story, saying that it showed the good in people. The manager was nice and cared about Yang’s situation. Also, Yang was grateful (感恩的) and responsible (负责的).

5 . There’s no doubt (怀疑) that it is a great adventures (历险经历) to travel into space. However, living in space is not always as interesting as it is on TV or in movies. In real life, sometimes astronauts must stay in the International Space Station for several weeks at a time. The station is not very big, so the astronauts don’t have a lot of room to move around. What’s more, the spaceship that carries astronauts into space is even much smaller. Astronauts have to eat, sleep, and do their work in its very small space.

However, astronauts can still have fun and relax after a hard day’s work. They can watch movies, play cards, or talk to their friends and family on Earth. Some astronauts even play a music al instrument (仪器). You can show your talent, no matter where you live!

They enjoy doing silly things while they are in weightless (失重) conditions, such as turning somersaults (翻筋斗) in midair. They run in circles, up and down walls, and across the ceiling (天花板). They laugh as their hair sticks out in all directions (方向). Astronauts are not only brave, but also humorous to deal with the pressure of living in space.

7 . Young students are experts in learning new things online.

I love using Duolingo. It is an App where users can learn foreign languages in a fun way. The teachers are cute cartoon characters, which makes the learning process interesting. There are also ranking (名次) lists that encourage me to learn and compete with friends, just like playing a game. Now I’m using it to learn Spanish.

I often use wikiHow. There are over 160, 000 articles that teach you how to solve all kinds of problems, from solving a Rubik’s Cube (魔方) to fixing a toilet. It even teaches you how to have fun by yourself, which I find quite creative.

Though Douyin is often seen as a time waster, the short video App helps me a lot. I’ve been following a Douyin account (账户), which summarizes (总结) all the important point s of our biology lessons. I watched livestreams (直播) of classes and before exams I spent some time reviewing (复习) the notes. I got the best grade in my class in the recent biology exam!

8 . During the past 3 years, the COVID-19 pandemic (新冠肺炎疫情) has made many people pay more attention (关注) to their health. Exercising is an excellent way to keep healthy. Last week, we did a survey (调查) about people’s exercise and 2,000 people answered our questions. Here’s the result.

9 . “Every day, we see the sunrise 16 times. Do you know why? Well, we circle the Earth every 90 minutes!” Do you still remember these words? It was on June 20, 2013. Chinese astronaut Wang Yaping gave a science lesson in space. Sixty million school children and teachers across China listened to it. Were you one of them? On October 16, 2021, she and two other Chinese astronauts set off for the Tiangong space station. Wang became the first-ever woman to work in Tiangong. Ms. Wang gave her “Lesson Two” with her workmates on December 9, 2021. That made millions of people very excited.

Wang’s space dream began when Yang Liwei became China’s first man in space in 2003. “When will our country have a space woman?” She thought to herself. Wang was then a fighter pilot (战斗机飞行员). Because of her excellent performance, in 2010, she was chosen to train as an astronaut. After lots of hard training, the woman finally realized her space dream in 2013. And she became the first Chinese woman to ever complete a spacewalk on November 8, 2021. This time, Wang and her team have stayed in space for 183 days. We also heard the first-ever Chinese New Year’s greetings coming from space.
