    As the Internet is developing fast，more and more new words and phrases have been created in Chinese. Here are some examples.

    One of the most popular words is Dianzan，which is often used when you quite agree with someone. Another example is Renxing.

    When you say somebody is Renxing，you mean that they will do whatever they like. The phrase Miaosha first came from online shopping，which means you can complete your shopping orders before others. But now it's widely used when you achieve your purpose in a very short time. If you describe somebody as a Tuhao，you mean that he is very rich.

    You can find lots of such new Chinese words. Keep learning and you'll know more about Chinese culture.

Every living thing needs to reproduce（繁殖）. Reproducing means creating more members of your group. In order for plants to reproduce, they have to spread their seeds（种子）to other areas. Plants have developed all kinds of ways to do this.

The simplest way is gravity（重力）. Many seeds are inside of fruit. When fruit gets too heavy, it falls from a tree to the ground. Sometimes animals will pick up the fruit and drop it in another area. That helps move the seed even farther away. Apples spread this way.

Other plants use wind to spread their seeds. Dandelions（蒲公英）are a good example of this. Dandelion seeds are so light that when wind blows, it carries dandelion seeds to new places. Maple（枫树）seeds also use wind. Their seeds are connected with long, thin leaves that look like wings. When the seed falls from the tree, its "wings" help it fly farther from the tree.

Some animals help plants spread their seeds. The animals eat the seeds. While the seed is in the animal's body, it stays whole. When the seed leaves the animal, it's in a new place.

Ants also help spread seeds. Some seeds have a special smell that appeals to ants. The ants bring the seeds back to their home, which of course is underground. They only eat part of the seed. They leave the rest of the seed underground. After that, the seed can start growing.

The Dragon Boat Festival, also called Duanwu Festival, has a long history. It is a very important lunar festival in China, together with the Spring Festival, Qingming Festival and the Mid-Autumn Festival. 

The date of the festival is said to be the date when Qu Yuan passed away—the fifth day of the fifth lunar month. Usually the date varies from year to year. For example, it is 22nd June in 2023, 10th June in 2024 and 31st May in 2025. 

Although the Dragon Boat Festival happens on different days, the way people celebrate it is almost the same. They eat zongzi, hold dragon boat races, drink realgar wine(雄黄酒), wear sachets(香囊) and so on. Among all of them, people like dragon boat races best. It's often held in the south of China, where there are lots of rivers and lakes. 

People like this festival very much. 

Have you ever played with another dog around your dog or played with a different dog when you're taking a walk? Many dogs don't like it when they're not the center of their owners' attention. Whether it's a new baby or the cute little dog next door, there's a good point that your dog doesn't want to share your love with anyone else. Some people may think that jealousy is a human-only feeling. But it's not true.

A few years ago, researchers at the University of California, San Diego, found that dogs showed jealous actions when their owners showed love toward another dog.

For the study, researchers watched videos of interactions (互动) between 36 dogs and their owners in their homes. Researchers had the owners pay no attention to their dogs but play with a robotic dog, which was treated as a real dog. Owners talked to it sweetly and shared everything with it.

About 60% of the dogs were likely to touch or push their owners when they were interacting with the robotic dog. About one-third of the dogs tried to get between the owner and the robotic dog and some even barked at "the other dog".

"Our study suggests that dogs not only show jealous actions but also try to break up the relationship between the owner and a seeming competitor," said Professor Christine Harris, one of the researchers.

Therefore, your dog might act differently when he's trying to get your attention and maybe experiencing feelings of jealousy. For example, he may draw your attention by licking (舔) you, or he may suddenly run into the bathroom to get attention or even to show displeasure. So if you have more than one pet, be sure to give them the same attention so that any of them will, not feel forgotten.
