As traditional Chinese art, paper cutting has a long history. The first and earliest paper cutting was found in China 1,500 years ago. But this traditional art is at risk of disappearing now. Luckily, Voyo Woo, a Chinese immigrant（移民）in America, is trying to bring this art back to life.

One Saturday in 2014, Ms Woo held a paper cutting show at a shopping center near Washington. She got much fun and peace doing it. She hoped more people would enjoy it.

Ms Woo began to study the art of paper cutting as a 14-year-old girl in her hometown in China. She said all the students at school had to learn paper cutting. But she had a deep love for it. So her teacher spent more time teaching her after class. Later, she won the second prize in a national painting and art competition. Ms Woo went to America after she finished collage in 2008. Soon after that, she took part in an activity to promote（宣传）Chinese paper cutting. And then she was invited to show the art in many important activities.“It is important to promote this art to Americans or anyone who is interested in it.Maybe it will make this art more popular.”Woo said.

From the art of paper cutting, people can know about Chinese cultural values, history and stories of people's life. Ms Woo uses the art as a tool to show Chinese culture to people who know little about it. Chinese art is not only for Chinese, but also for people all over the world.

“Cool" is a word with many meanings．Its old meaning is used to express a temperature that is a little bit cold．As the world has changed，the word has had many different meanings．
“Cool"can be used to express feelings of interest in almost everything When you see a famous car in the street，maybe you will say，“It's cool." You may think，“He's so cool," when you see your favorite footballer．
We all maximize（扩大） the meaning of “cool". You can use it instead of many words such as “new" or "surprising"．Here's an interesting story we can use to show the way the word is used．A teacher asked her students to write about the waterfall（瀑布）they had visited．On one student's paper was just the one sentence, “It's so cool．Maybe he thought it was the best way to show what he saw and felt. But the story also shows a lack of words．Without “cool”，some people have no words to show the same meaning．So it is quite important to keep some credibility（可信性）．Can you think of many other words that make your life as colorful as the word "cool"？ I can．And I think they are also very cool．

    Football is, I suppose, the most popular game in England. In some important matches, you can see the rich and the poor, the young and the old all there, shouting and cheering for one side or the other.
    One of the most surprising things about football in England is the great knowledge of the game which even the smallest boy seems to have. He can tell you the names of the players in most of the important teams. He has photographs of them and knows the results of a large number of matches. He will tell you who he expects(预料) to win such and such a match(诸如此类的比赛).
    The schools arrange(安排) games and matches for their pupils. Football is a good game. It is good exercise for our body. It needs skills(技能) and wisdom(智慧) and it is popular and cheap. As a result, it is the school's favorite game in winter.

Jeans have become one piece of clothing worn by the most people in the world. Everybody wears them, from the farmer to the lawyer and from models to housewives. But why have jeans become so popular？You'll get many answers. For some people they look cool, for others jeans are just comfortable.
      Jeans were first stronger trousers made for farm workers in the states of the American west. In the eastern part of the US jeans were hardly worn at all. They were connected with farm people and the workers. So the rich wouldn't like to wear them.
    It was James Dean and Marlon Brando that made them popular in movies and everyone started to wear them. They were a symbol of the rebellion of young people during the 1950s and 1960s. So these new trousers were not allowed in American schools and sometimes in theatres and cinemas. As time went on，jeans became more acceptable. American people in Europe and Japan often wore them when they were not on duty to show that they were Americans. The trousers showed the world a happier way of life, something that people needed, especially after what they had gone through in World War II.
     Jeans had other advantages as well. They didn't need to be washed as often as other trousers and women didn't need to iron them. This became more important as more and more women started working and had less time for housework.
    Today jeans are an important part of our lives. They are always washed a few times before they are sold to give them a faded look.

Facing the Sea with Spring Blossoms

By Haizi

From tomorrow on. I will be a happy man

Grooming, chopping and travelling all over the world.

From tomorrow on. I will care about food and vegetables.

Living in a house towards the sea with spring blossoms.

From tomorrow on. I will write to each of my dear ones.

Telling them of my happiness, which is the happiest lightening told me.

I will spread it to each one of them, giving every river and every mountain a warm name.

Strangers, I will also wish you happy.

May you have a brilliant future!

May you lovers eventually become spouses!

May you enjoy happiness in this earthly world!

I only wish to face the sea, with spring blossoms.

Our country used to be very poor in technology, but great changes have taken place these years. Lots of our technology is much better than those of foreign countries. High-speed railway technology is one example.

We learned about high-speed railway technology from foreign countries, but now we have mastered(掌握）and developed the key technology. Our high-speed railway technology is advanced. It can not only have a high speed but also be used in different environment and the cost is lower.

China Railway Corp (CRC) is fully prepared to sell a full supply of high -speed railway technology. The company said selling of railway technology and building railways for other countries are going very well, and progress is being made in a number of countries. We have a major advantage. We are able to sell whole railway technology. It isn't very good to buy some technology from one country and other technology from another.

The selling plan for our high-speed railway technology will follow the Silk Road Economic Belt and the 21st Century Maritime Silk Road (一带一路).

Like the US-made Boeing 737 and France's Airbus, our high-speed railway technology could be an important project to help sell our technology in the future.

These days, more and more students in the UK are taking a "gap year" between their graduation from school and their university studies. This means they can take a year off to do something else, before they start their studies.

For most students, spending time in foreign countries is the favorite activity — and Australia is the favorite place to go.

Many parents, teachers and business people agree that travelling can teach important values.

"After a year of travelling, I felt I'd grown up. I had learnt the importance of relationships with people, on all kinds of levels."

There are many companies around the world that welcome these students on their projects—helping people in poorer countries, or even in your home country. Although you don't get paid for your work, this kind of work can teach important skills—decision making and finding answers to problems, for example—that will help many students in a job one day.

Finally, getting some knowledge and experience in an area you hope to study or work in one day will always be very useful.

If several university graduates are applying for the same job, gar year work experience allows you to say,

"I've already had some experience of this kind of work." And that can get your job.
