    In America, boys and girls like watching TV. Some children spend six hours a day at school and four to six hours a day in front of the TV sets. Some children even watch TV for eight hours or more on Saturday.

    Television is like books and films. A child can learn both good things and bad things from it.  Some TV programs help children to understand the news, the people and places in other countries. With TV, children do not have to go to the movies. They can listen to interesting music or watch a game at home. But some programs are bad for children, so parents sometimes should help them to find other interesting and useful things to do.

According to the traditional Chinese customs, 2019 is the year of Pig, ranking as the twelfth animal in the Chinese zodiac—the Shengxiao. Many people believe that pigs are naturally fat, lazy and dirty. But are any of those things true?

    Use

    It is true that pigs are fat. They eat a lot. But they are useful to us. We get more than just pork from pigs. We can use their skin to make shoes. We can use their hair to make brushes.

    Not stupid

    People sometimes say: "You are as stupid as a pig." But pigs are not stupid. In fact, pigs are one of the 10 smartest animals. They can remember things well and tell different shapes apart. Many experts think pigs are easier to train than dogs or cats.

    Stereotypes

    These stereotypes (偏见) of pigs often make us feel negatively about the animal. For example, if someone's room is very messy, we might say his or her room looks like a pigsty (猪圈).

    Ancient people's favorite animal

    But people in ancient China really liked pigs. If someone had a round and chubby face, he or she was thought to be blessed (有福气的). People also believed the animal stood for (代表) wealth. Now most children have a piggy bank that they can use to save money.

    Tom and Tim are twins(双胞胎) .They're four years old. It's difficult for people to tell who is Tom and who is Tim. {#blank#}1{#/blank#} The two boys like to jump, draw pictures and play ball games. {#blank#}2{#/blank#}. But they don't like to take a shower.

    Today, Tom and Tim come back from outside. {#blank#}3{#/blank#} After twenty minutes, Tom goes out. {#blank#}4{#/blank#}Their mother takes Tim into the bathroom. But the boy doesn't want to go in.

    "No ! No! Mom, I'm Tom. {#blank#}5{#/blank#}" "Shut up(闭嘴) ! I know you are Tim."

    At that time, the boy out of the bathroom(洗澡间) is so happy, because he doesn't need to take a shower today.

    A middle school teacher from Jiangxi Province gave up her job in e 2005. She has spent the past few years establishing(建立) the first intangible cultural enterprise(非物质文化企业) in China to support the traditional art of paper-cutting at home and abroad. He Hong has already held many large exhibitions since she took up the traditional art. Her beautiful creations and outstanding skills attracted lots of people. Now, she is considered as the "Queen" of Chinese paper-cutting by many people nationwide.

    Her father worked in the local cultural center. She had an opportunity to learn from some experienced folk (民间的) artists when she was five. With the increasing skill day by day, she began travelling far and wide to find modern ideas from more people. She looked for inspiration(灵感) wherever she went.

    She worked as a teacher for over ten years. In her teaching time, she coached many students in paper-cutting. And over 150 students received first prizes in paper-cutting contests under her guidance. By chance, she established her own company, aiming to further increase the traditional art's influence. She centered great efforts on studying modern consumption trends(消费趋势). And she has created all kinds of household things to meet the need of the market. To her surprise, all her paper-cutting products have sold well in more than 3,000 stores across the country.

    In the course of running her enterprise ,she has set up a complete supply chain(供给链) including design and production as well as sales. It has made many improvements compared with traditional business models. In addition, she spreads her business to clothes, electronics and gifts, along with other industries.
