You may have heard of the famous saying, "East or West, home is the best. "
What does the word "home" mean to you? How do you say the word in French? In Chinese? In your language? Although people usually know what the word means, it sometimes has no exact translation. It's not surprising, because the idea of home is "different from country to country, and from person to person. A home is more than a roof and four walls. It's the cooking, eating, talking, playing and sleeping that go on inside. And at home you usually feel safe and relaxed.
Homes look different in different countries. They also have different things inside. For example, in cold northern Europe, there's a fire in the living room or kitchen and all the chairs face it. In the south, where the sun shines a lot and it's more important to keep the heat out, there are small windows and cool stone floors.
We asked some people about their homes.
How often do people move house in your country?
"In my country many people don't stay in one place for a very long time. They often move every ten years or so. "
--Chery, Boston, USA.
What a e features (特征) of homes in your country ?

--Pat, Exeter, Englan

Father's Day has a very short history. It was started because there was a Mother's Day, and just because some Americans thought that if we had a Mother's Day, we should also have a Father's Day. Father's Day has become important in North America. And businesses found it was a good way to get people to buy a present for their father from their shops.
By the way, very few countries have a Father's Day, though some have a Children's Day, or a special day for boys and another for girls. More and more countries are having Mother's Day, so maybe Father's Day will also become popular before too long. Now, what do people in North America do on Father's Day? The newspapers, radios, and TV tell children what they should do — buy, buy, buy, buy, buy a Father's Day present for your father. They even tell a wife to buy, buy, buy, and buy a Father's Day present — not for her father but for her husband, even if he is not yet a father. And they tell grandchildren to buy, buy, buy, and buy a Father's Day present for their grandfathers.
The important thing to remember about Father's Day is that American children can show their love to their fathers in a more open way.

Many children use the Internet to get useful knowledge and information, and to relax in their free time. But some of them are not using in a good way. Here are some rules to make sure you are safe and have fun on the Internet.
Make rules for Internet use with your parents. For example, when you can go online, for how long and what activities you can go online.
Don't give your password (密码) to anyone else, and never leak out the following information—your real name, home address, age, school, phone number or other personal information.
Check with your parents before giving out a credit (信用) card number.
Never send a photo of yourself to someone in e-mail unless your parents say it's OK.
Check with your parents before going into a chat room. Different chat rooms have different rules and attract different kinds of people. You and your parents must make sure it's a right place for you.
Never agree to meet someone you met on the Internet without your parent's permission (允许). Never meet anyone you met on line alone. Always remember that people online may not be who they say they are. Treat everyone online as strangers.
If something you see or read online makes you uncomfortable, leave the site. Tell a parent or teacher right away.。Treat other people as you'd like to be treated. Never use bad language.
Remember—not everything you read on the Internet is true.

    A science book gives facts. Some science books tell us about animals. Some tell us about plants. Some tell us about outer space. This page tells us about animals.
     Do you know that not only the fish but also some animals live in the sea? For example, the whale is not a fish. It can't breathe in the water. It swims in the water. But it comes up for air.
    The blue whale is the world's biggest animal. There are other sea animals, too. One is called the dolphin. Dolphins need air to live. They breathe air, as whales do. Dolphins are very clever. They sometimes seem to speak to each other.
Many other animals live near the sea. Seals (海豹) and otters（水獭）love the sea. They swim and play there, They eat smaller fish and sea plants. Seals and otters have thick fur. The fur keeps them warm.

After winning the first prize at the ASICS Tennis Junior Tour in Guangzhou in late August, 2022, Wang Fa quickly became popular online. Wang was known for carrying his tennis rackets in a bamboo basket, making him get the name of "basket tennis boy".

The boy, Wang Fa, 14, is a member of the Va ethnic group（佤族） from Yunnan. "We always carry bamboo baskets when we work on the farm. This is a typical farming tool（具有代表性的农具） of the Va ethnic group. I carried my rackets this way to honor（致敬） my hometown," Wang said.

Before playing tennis, Wang was just a common boy from a village. But in 2016, he was chosen by a club as one of the first 10 children to learn to play tennis. Over the past six years, Wang has practiced hard along with other players. The children would get up at 6:30 A．m. and practice for more than six hours a day. Every day, they needed to swing a racket more than 7,000 times and run 9 kilometers.

Wang's parents didn't want him to learn tennis at first. They thought it was too expensive. But the tennis club said they would teach him for free. Wang's hometown was just lifted out of poverty （脱贫） in 2019.

For Wang, winning the competition was the beginning of a hopeful future. "I will go for the top places in the tennis world," he said.
