Keeping the room tidy is one of the rules in Tina’s family, but Tina doesn’t like it.

After watching TV, Tina comes to her room to put away her school things. After about ten minutes, Tina runs to her mom, “Mom, do you know where my math notebook is? I can’t find it anywhere. ”
Mrs. Black says no and she joins Tina in looking for it. After about five minutes, Mrs. Black says, “Oh, I know where it is now! ”
“Where?” asks Tina.
“Look! It’s in our dog’s mouth (口)! ”
Tina goes to Tony quickly and takes her notebook out. She looks at Tony and wants to beat (打) him, but Mrs. Black stops her and says, “Dear, I know how terrible you feel! But why don’t you learn to follow the rules?”
Tina feels sorry and she finds it important to put away things.

Sometimes parents wonder if they should give their kids some housework or not. In some parents’ eyes, kids needn’t do housework. After all, it’ll be a long time for kids to do it after they grow up.
Most kids seem to be busy all the time. They have little time to do the cleaning or make the bed. However, it’s important to teach your kids to do some easy housework. It will be useful in the future life.
When kids start going to school, you can ask them to do some simple things at home. For example, teach your kids to put away their shoes and schoolbags. Then you can give more jobs to them. As the jobs become more difficult, you can teach your kids slowly how to finish each of them. For example, when kids do the dishes, tell them how to make the plates clean. It’s common that kids can’t do everything very well at their first try. Just let them practice more, and they will do the jobs better and better.

7 . Culture Flying High
Known as the birthplace of kites, Weifang in Shandong Province has a long history of making kites.
Weifang kite-making dates back to 2,000 years ago. At first, they were often used by the army for measuring distance and communication purposes. During the Ming Dynasty(1368—1644), kites started to be popular among ordinary people as entertainment. Weifang kite-making was included in the national-level intangible cultural heritage lists(国家级非物质文化遗产名录) in 2006. Since 1984, the International Kite Festival has been held in Weifang every year.
Yang Hongwei, 56, is an inheritor(继承人) of the Weifang kite-making art, born into a kite-making family. “Every time I see the beautiful kites, my boredom and negative feelings go away,” said Yang.
Having a special connection with kites, Yang learned the art from her grandfather at the age of 16. After practicing the skills for 10 years, she started her own shop in 1992. On Yang’s kites, people can see not only common patterns like butterflies and birds, but also some paintings telling Chinese legends and history.
Though the idea was cool, the process was not easy. “It’s really hard work,” Yang added, “but when I explain the stories on the kites to foreign customers, I feel a sense of great achievement.”
In her space time, she also travels to different countries including Germany, Australia, the US and New Zealand to tell people about Chinese stories seen on kites and the traditional ways of making kites. “I’m an inheritor of the culture. It is also an important job of mine to spread the heritage around the world and onto the next generation,” she said.
