One day, she had just arrived in the bus stop when she realized she had forgotten to wear a mask. She ran to a nearby shop and bought one. As she returned hurried to the bus stop, the bus had left! Worried about late for school, she began to cry. A stranger asked how she was crying. Then he showed to her an App on his phone, and told him the next bus would arrive in 5 minutes. Luckily, she is just in time for her first class. She was very grateful to the man and hoped to help other in the future.
6 . Japan's Momiji Nishiya, 13, made history on Monday. At the Tokyo 2020 Games, she took home the first women' s street skateboarding Olympic gold medal. Standing next to her on the podium (领奖台) was Rayssa Leal, also 13, from Brazil. Japanese skater Funa Nakayama, 16, took bronze.
The women's skateboarding final was a huge moment for the Games. Some of the Olympic youngest competitors appeared there. Half of the skaters in the final were younger than 18. In Tokyo's burning heat, they decided to try their best. They managed to fill the mostly empty skatepark with joy as hip-hop music sounded in the background.
After winning gold, Momiji was asked what she wanted to tell young skaters.“Skateboarding is fun and interesting,” she said. “I hope everyone can give it a try.”
And the young medalist is already offering powerful inspiration for new skaters. Outside of the skateboarding field, 9-year old Keito Ota and 8-year-old Ayane Nakamura were eagerly waiting to catch sight of the new Japanese medalists. The two friends started skateboarding about a year ago. They arrived at the park wearing Team Japan skateboarding shits. Every time a bus left the field, they held up pieces of paper that said,“Thank you for your hard work" and “Congratulations on your gold medal.”Keito says he' s adding Momiji to his list of favourite skateboarders. In August, Keito will enter his first competition at a skateboarding student cup.
Just 13 years and 330 days old at the time of her win, Momiji is Japan's youngest-ever gold medalist. She’s one of the youngest in Olympic history. That record, though, goes to American diver (跳水选手) Marjorie Gestring. Gestring to the gold medal at the Berlin 1936 Games at the age of 13 years and 267 days. At age 13 years and 203 days, Leal would have set a new record had she finished first.

9 . Crosstalk, a traditional form of comic storytelling, is making a comeback in China’s tea houses and theaters.
Audiences can laugh the night away every Saturday at the Qianxiangyi Teahouse in Tianjin, entertained by the apprentices(徒弟) of Hou Baolin, Ma Sanli or Yin Shoushan—all leading crosstalk artists of years past—for only 20 yuan.
The success in Tianjin has also caused the rejuvenation（复活）of crosstalk in Beijing and other places.
Although the art form originated in Beijing in the Qing Dynasty (1644-1911), Tianjin became a place where rising stars formed their styles and new pieces were tried out. The city was well-known nationwide for the quality of its crosstalk performances.
Known in Chinese as xiangsheng (literally, “face and voice”), crosstalk was the chief form of comedy throughout most of the 20th century. In the old days in Tianjin and elsewhere, temple fairs and market were the main places for crosstalkers to perform, although they occasionally also appeared in teahouses or theaters.
Crosstalk pieces draw on every aspect of Chinese culture, from history and folk tales to social issues of the time. Although there’re hundreds of traditional pieces, they’re constantly rewritten to suit the times and the audience, while new works are written as well. It’s one of the features that have made crosstalk a public art form throughout its history.
“Crosstalk was in the doldrums（萎靡不振）with competition from other art forms, especially TV,” said Wang Xiaochun, headmaster of the Northern Storytelling Arts School of China (NSAS). “But it has regained its status with crosstalk fans, especially young people, growing aware of its rare qualities.”
“More and more students are coming to NSAS to study crosstalk, including some girl students,” said Wang. “We’re sure that crosstalk will have a strong market.”

Entertainment is another popular reason why many people like to surf the Internet. There are numerous games that may be downloaded from the Internet for free. Chat rooms are popular because users can meet new and interesting people. When people surf the web, they can find numerous things. Music, hobbies, news and more can be found and shared on the Internet.

If you use the Internet, your personal information such as name, address, credit card number, etc. might be accessed by other people. Virus threat is another problem. Virus attacks can end up crashing your whole hard disk, causing you much headache. Pornography is perhaps the biggest threat related to children’s healthy mental life.
