Qu Juanru is the official inheritor(官方继承人) of Jiaxing City Tongxiang flower­drum opera. She began to be on the stage when she was a teenager. "My mother died when I was 14. I've lived with my father since then. In the old days, women were not allowed to perform opera. However, my father always supported me when I tried to sing," Qu said.

Qu started performing in the local troupe(剧团) called Aimin Flower­Drum Opera. Later, the troupe was disbanded(解散), and she went back to farming.

After that, the young girl tried to set up the troupe several times but failed. She really lived a hard life at that time. But she didn't give up.

In 2001, some developers planned to rebuild Wuzhen. They thought a place which has no culture is of little significance(意义). So they wanted to bring back local customs, including the Tongxiang flower­drum opera. Qu was their only hope.

Knowing she could sing again, Qu was so excited. Whether it's cold or hot, Qu always gives her everything on stage in Wuzhen. She has six rounds(场) of performing every day and each round lasts 30 minutes. In 2017, she was badly ill, yet it didn't stop her.

"I can still sing and perform. I'd love to be here," Qu said. In her opinion, opera life is a wonderful dream that can't be missed.

    When I just moved to Los Angeles（洛杉矶）, I didn't have a car.{#blank#}1{#/blank#}, but I wanted to prove（证明）them wrong.

    I asked my neighbor, Mrs. White, to take me to the bus station in the center of the city, so I could try taking the bus home.{#blank#}2{#/blank#}. When I got there, I went inside and got a bus timetable（时刻表）. I looked at the map and worked out that I needed to take three buses to get home.

    I bought the tickets and went outside to wait at the bus stop for the Number 8 bus. {#blank#}3{#/blank#}. I gave my ticket to the bus driver and took a seat. At the right stop I got off. {#blank#}4{#/blank#}. I waited and waited. A man was also waiting for the same bus. He said that it wasn't unusual for the bus to be late. Half an hour later, it finally came. To make the matter worse, the third bus broke down halfway and the driver had to fix it. {#blank#}5{#/blank#}. So when I finally got home, I was very tired. Maybe getting a car in Los Angeles wasn't such a bad idea!

It seems that paleontology（古生物学） has nothing to do with fun. However，some online videos about it have become popular with young people. These videos are made by Fun Stuff，a science account（账户） on Bilibili. It has posted about 150 videos and most of them are for free. And these videos have been watched over 100 million times. 

The makers behind Fun Stuff are Tang Cheng and Cai Chunlin. They're a couple（夫妇） at the same university. Both of them studied science very hard and always discussed questions about science together. 

It all started on a small island in 2014，when Tang studied monkeys there. At the time，he started giving online classes to children. After one class，a student asked him what a cell（细胞） is. Then he decided to make more people fall in love with science. 

In 2018，Tang and Cai began to play some English science videos and share them on Bilibili. The next year，they began to make their own videos. They spent two months on their first video. It is about an amazing animal living in ancient times. In the video，Tang talks about the animal's look and habits and why it died out. The special and clear way to tell scientific facts soon made the video very popular. Since then，the couple has made lots of videos about ancient animals. 

"Fun Stuff has the interesting way to make science about the ancient world very interesting，" says a fan. 

Inventions are very important and they can easily change our life. The followings are some great inventions. 

There are about 5,000 different kinds of ladybugs(瓢虫) in the world. They come in many different colors. Their bright colors warn other animals or insects not to eat them. Ladybugs taste bad. A bird or a frog that eats a ladybug will remember the bright colors and it will not eat another ladybug with the same colors again. When ladybugs are in danger, they will give out a fluid(液体) that tastes terrible.

In many cultures, the ladybug is considered to be a symbol of good luck. Most ladybugs are kind to humans. They eat other insects which des troy crops. One ladybug can eat up to 5,000 insects in its lifetime.

Ladybugs have six short legs. They live in many different places, including green lands, forests, cities, the countryside and along rivers. Different ladybugs have different spots(点). Some of them don't have spots at all. The most common kind in North America is the 7- spotted ladybug. The 7- spotted ladybugs are the most active from spring to autumn. When the weather turns cold, they look for a warm place to sleep, such as under stones or in houses.

What season is it in October? If you ask people from UK, they will tell you it's "autumn". But if you go to US, you will find that people use "autumn" or "fall". 

According to Dictionary. com, both words have been around for a long time. but neither of them was first to describe this season. During this season. crops would become ripe（成熟）and farmers would have a big harvest. So in Old English, this season was simply called "harvest". 

Then, in the 1600s, more people left their farms and moved to cities. With fewer people farming the word "harvest" became less useful. English speakers needed a different name for the season. They knew leaves fell from trees during the season, so people started calling it "the fall of the leaf", or "fall" for short. 

But at the end of the 1600s, autumn, from the French word "autompne" and the Latin "autumnus", came to English. "Fall" as the word for this season disappeared slowly. 

At the same time, people in UK were making their first trip to North America. They brought the words "fall" and "autumn" with them. That's why today Americans have two names for one season.
