Hangzhou won its bid (申办) for the 2022 Asian Games on September 16th, 2015. It will be the third time that the Games are held in a Chinese city after Beijing in 1990 and Guangzhou in 2010.

    The well-known capital city of Zhejiang Province in the southeast part of the country has a population of 9. 47 million. It is a beautiful city with a long history and it has been developing rapidly in recent years. Hosting the Asian Games will give the city another chance to grow.

    "We have seen here the strong wish and the great effort of Hangzhou to host the 19th Asian Games." The OCA (亚奥理事会) President praised.

    The Games are set to include 34 sports. Some venues (场馆) have already been completed, while several others are still being built and will be put into use one year before the Games. The Asian Games will be held from September 10 to 25, when the temperature is around 20℃.

    "There is no doubt that the event will attract more visitors to experience the beauty and charm of this amazing city. At the same time, more roads will be built and the underground will be added, reducing heavy traffic. But the best part is that it will give us the chance to watch world-class competitions close to our homes." Shao Lin, a local person, told the reporter excitedly.

    With the Asian Games in Hangzhou in September and the World Cup in Qatar (卡塔尔) in November, 2022 will be an exciting year for Asians, especially Chinese sports fans.

    Hangzhou is trying its best to get ready for the big sports show. Hangzhou is waiting to see you in 2022!

Li Hua's friend Wang Tao isn't good at basketball, but he is very good at soccer. Ronaldo is his favorite soccer player. Wang Tao is on the soccer team. He plays soccer with his teammates (队友) every Tuesday afternoon.

Today is Saturday. It's half past seven in the evening. Rick is in the living room reading a book. He is reading the story of a young man called Yang Zhiyang from Baoji, Shaanxi. 

Yang Zhiyang is 23 years old. His mum has ALS(渐冻症) and she has difficulty speaking and walking. Yang's father has to work to make money for the family. So Yang doesn't go to work. He has to take care of(照顾) his mum at home. 

To take good care of his mother, Yang looks at her eyes very often. When his mother wants to sleep, she looks at her room. Then, Yang takes her to the bedroom. When she wants to drink water, she looks at the water cup on the table. Then, Yang gets water for her. It's important for people with ALS to do exercise. Yang always takes his mother's hands and does exercise with her. To make it fun, Yang often sings to her. 

Taking care of the mother with ALS is not easy, but Yang says, "She is my mother. I'm just doing what a son needs to do. I want to do my best to help her live happily. "

 Xue Wei, a 21-year-old boy, studies at Huanggang Normal University in Huanggang City, Hubei Province. At first, he wanted to study at school on the May Day holiday of 2024. But he got into some difficulties. He felt unhappy and missed his family, so he made a decision to go home.

 On the early morning of May 1st, he got on the green train. After nearly nine hours, he finally went back to his home in Shiyan City, Hubei Province.

 Xue's family needs firewood to cook and warm in winter. To get lots of firewood for his family to use, Xuc and his father went to the mountains to look for wood on May 2nd. Because some workers just built a reservoir(水库) near his house, there was a lot of wood left there. Xue and his father carried the wood home.

 In the next days, they first cut the wood into small ones and put the wood next to the back wall. "In fact, the most tiring part is not chopping(劈) wood, but carrying wood home, because it is wet and heavy," Xue said.

 In the end, Xue and his father chopped about 900 kilograms of firewood. Xue recorded(记录) the moment when he and his father were working. After he shared the short videos online on the way to school on May 5th, they became popular. Many people said, "This is the true meaning of Labor Day." As for Xue, he was happy to do something to help his family during the holiday.
