Halloween is very popular in western countries. On October 31st, dozens of children dressed in costumes (节日服装) nock on their neighbors’ doors and yell “Trick or Treat” when the door opens. Pirates and princesses, ghosts and popular heroes of the day all hold bags open to catch the candy or other goodies that the neighbors drop in. As they give each child a treat the neighbors exclaim over the costumes and try to guess who is under the masks.
Today school dances and neighborhood parties called “block parties” are popular among the young and the old. More and more adults celebrate Halloween. They dress up like historical or political figures and go to masquerade parties (化妆舞会). In larger cities, costumed children and their parents gather at shopping malls early in the evening. Stores and businesses give parties with games and treats for the children. Teenagers enjoy costume dances at their schools and the more outrageous the costume the better!
Certain pranks (恶作剧) such as soaping car windows and tipping over garbage cans are expected. But partying and pranks are not the only things that Halloweeners enjoy doing. Some collect money to buy food and medicine for needy children around the world.

The generation gap between students and teachers is becoming more significant with only 3.3 percent out of a survey group of 1, 000 students from 30 key middle schools in the city saying they would be willing to tell their teachers of their inner thoughts.
In today’s educational environment, teachers are positioned to be the authority figure for learning instead of also becoming good friends in the life of students.
As only students with good marks in exams are considered the “ apples in the eyes” of the teachers, most students think their teachers to be partial (偏心).
“I feel sad to hear such remarks”, said Yu Yi, a well-known special-class teacher.
She recalled that in the past, teachers and students would play basketball together or comment on the novels while sitting on the grass during a break. But today, study and good marks are the only topics of conversation between students and teachers.
“Schools are not only the place where knowledge is imparted (传授) but also where students are taught how to be an upright person,” Yu said. “The success of a person is not merely determined by intelligence but also by emotional state.”
Yang Xiong, director of the Juvenile Research Institute, said the educational system which focuses on examinations should be held to be substantially responsible.

On September1, 1965, the Tibet Autonomous Region was officially established, which marked the establishment of the people’s democratic power in Tibet. From then on, the Tibetan people enjoyed the right to administer their own affairs and, together with the people throughout the country, engaged in the socialist development. Nowadays, the Tibet Autonomous Region, covering one-eighth of China’s territory with a population of 2.8 million, has developed rapidly in recent years.
China is a multi-ethnic country and Tibet is an inalienable (不可分割的) part of China. For more than 700 years the central government of China has continuously exercised sovereignty over Tibet. No government of any country in the world has ever recognized Tibet as an independent state. Anyone must be denounced (谴责) if he tries to split his motherland. British Foreign Secretary Lord Lansdowne, in a formal instruction in 1904, called Tibet “a province of the Chinese Empire.” In his speech, Indian Prime Minister Jawaharlal Nehru said, “Over the past several hundred years, as far as I know, at no time has any foreign country denied China’s sovereignty over Tibet.” The Dalai clique and overseas anti-China forces used to claim that between the 1911 Revolution and the founding of the People’s Republic of China in 1949, Tibet became a country “exercising full authority.” However, many historical facts denied such a fallacy (谬论). The so-called “Tibetan independence” which the Dalai clique and overseas anti-China forces spread is nothing but a fiction of the imperialists who committed aggression against China in modern history. Never will they succeed.

It was a dark and stormy night. The ferocious wind shook the windows wildly, as though someone outside were beating on the glass. It was also New Year’s Eve. We were having our annual party and had a house full of people just starting to celebrate.
Suddenly, we heard loud explosions. Looking outside and up into the hills, we saw sparks (火花) flying from electrical transformers (变压器). One area after another went dark up in those hills. Then there was the loudest explosion of them all and our house went dark too. I tried to find every candle we had and lit them. The candles made everything look lovely. But we had problems. We had fifteen people standing around and we still had to cook dinner. How would we do that without electricity? The barbecue! Why not cook on the barbecue? We men went outside, some holding flashlights and others cooking. We did a wonderful job. The women stayed inside and got the salads ready. Everything was delicious. There were still a few hours to go before the beginning of the new year, so we all sat around the dining room table and sang up until a few minutes before midnight. We couldn’t watch the ball drop in Times Square on television but that wouldn’t stop us from celebrating. I stood on a chair and, with the help of someone’s watch to tell us the time, we all counted down and I dropped a tennis ball! We all screamed Happy New Year. We didn’t need electricity for that!
Nowadays, we still get together with the same group to celebrate the New Year and we still talk about that special night. I don’t think we have ever laughed so much as we did on that New Year’s Eve.

Once upon a time, there was a man who kept several sheep. One morning, he found one of his sheep was missing. After checking the pen carefully, he discovered a hole in the wall of the pen. It turned out that a wolf had broken into the pen and stolen his sheep.
His neighbor advised, “You should fix the pen and cover the hole right away.” But he rejected, “The sheep has already lost. It’s no use fixing it now.” However, the next morning, he found another sheep missing. The wolf stole the sheep through the hole again!
He regretted not taking the neighbor’s advice and began to cover the hole immediately. From then on, no more sheep was stolen.
Good morning, everyone. I’m Li Hua

The Animal School Adapted from a work by George H. Reavis Once upon a time, the animals decided to organize a school. They adopted a curriculum consisting of running, climbing, swimming and flying. To make it easier to administer(管理), all the animals took all the subjects. The duck was excellent in swimming, but he made only passing grades in flying and was very poor in running. So, he had to stay after school and also drop swimming in order to practice running. This was kept up until his webbed feet were badly hurt and he was only average in swimming. The squirrel was excellent in climbing until he developed disappointment in the flying class where his teacher made him start from the ground up instead of from the treetop down. He also got a D in running. The eagle was a problem child. In the climbing class he beat all the others to the top of the tree, but insisted on using his own way to get there… |
The Office for National Youth Campus Football said that China already had 13, 381“special football schools” in 2016, and that 69 counties were piloting programs for football in schools.
Aimed at training young players and developing their talent, the government's latest plan is to advance China's ability to compete globally. The office predicts the number of football schools will have increased to 50, 000 by 2025.
Wang Dengfeng, director of the Physical Education, Health and Art Department under the Ministry of Education and Vice Chairman of the China Football Association, was quoted as saying that football experts are designing curriculum for more than 360 training programs in primary and secondary schools.
Xinhua reported that the MOE and five other central government departments were putting together a task force to ensure that football advances quickly in the country's schools.
President Xi Jinping is also a well-known football fan, who has repeatedly voiced his support for the sport's development in China.
Chinese government released an artificial intelligence development plan in 2017, calling on primary and middle schools to promote coding (编程) education, preparing kids for the future artificial intelligence (AI) development. In response to the policy, coding and programming education have exploded amongst Chinese young students creating a large-scale market worth 3 to 4 billion yuan, according to a report released by iReserach in 2018. In contrast to the upward developing trend, Xia Lixin, vice president of Central China Normal University cautions that the industry is facing many problems, including how to evaluate trainers, assess teaching effects and develop effective courses. Programming teachers for children requires not only professional proficiency but also basic teaching skills, Xia noted. In addition, it’s better to guide students hand in hand rather than via video. | At an after-school training center. Son: I don’t want to sign up for any more classes. I am already juggling piano, calligraphy and English lessons. Mother: Piano lessons are out. Coding is the new trend now. It helps with enrollment (录取). A lot of schools value such skills. Son: But I don’t know a thing about coding. What if I’m not interested? Mother: A lot of your peers are taking programming lessons. I bet you will develop an interest. Just give it a try. Son: F-i-n-e. |

While overseas study programs in college seem to be more common these days, many students are still missing out on the chance to travel and learn abroad at an even younger age.
So many organizations are providing summer camps for high school students to study abroad during the summer holiday. They offer their camps in locations around the world, with a variety of program types to choose from. You can spend your summer doing everything from volunteering with turles in Costa Rica to learn about art history in Italy. Plus, while these programs can be costly, scholarships as well as financial aid are often available to high school students who want to travel.
Travelling abroad as a high school student could have a huge impact on your views of the world, your career path, and especially your future travels. If you're interested in this, find out what place and type of program works for you, then learn how you can make it happen.
