举一反三

Recently, Chinese netizens (网民) enjoy themselves on “growing and stealing crops” on the Internet. This is a game called “Happy Farms”. Now more and more people are joining in the game, and getting addicted. Some of them are even found playing the game at work. Because of this, some players have been fired by their bosses. Lovers have broken up, but none of them can stop Happy Farms from becoming more popular.
Here we interviewed some young netizens and let's see what their opinions were.
Nongmin: Playing happy Farms at work, that's terrible! A clerk was fired because she was online playing it at work.
King: I find that all the dreams of having houses and fields, which are very hard to get in real life, are very easy to be realized in the games. I think I know the reason why the game is so popular.
Kaixin: We have to know how to control ourselves. We should keep our minds on study. Games are just games. I prefer to play sports with my classmates when I am free.
Kitty: I like Happy Farms. My high-pressure work makes me feel like I can't breathe. I wish I could have a real house and farm, but it seems so far away. I have to turn to virtual(虚拟) nature for my own house and farm.
People often get tired from work or study, so they go to their own farms, take care of their crops and pull out weeds. It is really delightful to forget about the pressure. But some players work from morning to night to “grow and steal crops”. They lose themselves in the game and show no interest in anything else. It is really terrible.

In the USA，every year，Thanksgiving Day is on the fourth Thursday of November．Because Canada (加拿大) is north of（在……北边） the USA，and is colder．The harvest （收获） comes earlier （更早）in the year．In Canada，people have Thanksgiving Day on the second Monday in October．
The harvest brings a lot of food to the people．On Thanksgiving Day people in Canada and America like to have a big meal with their friends and family just like Chinese people do at Mid—Autumn Festival．Many Canadians（加拿大人） and Americans put flowers．vegetables and fruits around their homes to say“Thank you”for the harvest．
At a Thanksgiving Day dinner，many Canadians and Americans will eat turkey，potatoes，and pumpkins pie．These are food like the food of many years ago．They are saying“Thank you”for the harvest that comes every year．

Still remember the following poems？Memories return every time I read or hear them．

①

Hush now，my little one．

Hush now，my sunshine．

Hush now，piece of my heart．

Go to sleep，my little one．

Go to sleep，my love．

Go to sleep，piece of my heart．

Sleep，my little one，

While I sing to you．

Sleep，my little one，

Who is already asleep．

②

My mama feeds me，

And washes my fur．

The first thing I see every morning is her．

The last thing I kiss every night is her face．

My mama is the very best one，

And sings like a bird，

And knows how I feel．

When I don't say a word，

My mama is warm．

③

I can set the table．

I can sweep the floor．

I can wash my clothes

And count to forty﹣four．

I can wash dishes．

And clean my bedroom．

There is so much I can do．

Now ask you．

Notes：⒈hush v．安静 ⒉fur n．皮毛 ⒊sweep v．打扫

Hot pot(火锅) and Hotpot

I'm learning English in the UK where I meet a lot of new friends and eat something delicious. Hot pot is many Chinese people's favorite food, including(包括) me. After having three days of hamburgers, sandwiches and potatoes in the UK, how excited I was to know that there was going to be a free meal of hotpot to welcome the new students. On the way to the canteen, I seemed to smell the hot pot in the air.

To my surprise, when I stepped into the room, in front of me were still potatoes and bread. Where was the hot pot?

With many questions in my head, I sat down to have the free meal. After talking with a French girl, I got to know that hot pot is completely different from hotpot. Chinese hot pot is written in two words and hotpot, one word, is a traditional English dish.

Hotpot is made from mutton and onion. On the top there are sliced potatoes. People put it in the oven all day in a heavy pot and on a low heat. You can often see it at parties in the UK because it's easy to prepare for a large number of people and is not expensive.

Hotpot doesn't taste bad. However, I still miss hot pot, two words!

Earlier this year, China achieved a new milestone in space exploration. On Jan 3, Chang'e 4 became the first space probe in history to successfully land on the far side of the moon, People's Daily reported.
From Earth, we can only see one side of the moon. The other side has been a mystery. Scientists have long wondered what lies on this side of the moon.

    Chang'e 4 has sent back photos of the far side of the moon. It is also being used to carry out experiments, such as growing seeds in a low-gravity environment. The data collected from these experiments could be used to help us build a base on the moon in the future.
    The success of the Chang'e 4 mission is a major achievement for China's space program. It marks a new stage in China's deep space exploration, said Wu Yanhua, deputy head of China National Space Administration.
    China launched its lunar exploration program in 2004, naming it Chang'e. Chinese scientists set three goals—"orbiting, landing and sample returning" – referring to launching probes that could circle around the moon, touch down on its surface and bring lunar materials back to Earth.
    Chang'e 4 has realized the second goal. The third will be achieved during the Chang'e 5 mission , which is set to take place before the end of this year, China Daily reported.
    Following the success of the Chang'e missions, Chinese scientists are looking even farther into our solar system. China's first Mars mission is expected to be carried out by 2020, Wu said.
    In addition to the first-ever soft landing on the far side of the moon, the Chang'e 4 mission has achieved many other firsts. One of them is international cooperation and joint exploration. The experiments will provide valuable data for the scientists.

The Spring Festival was on February 7th this year. Because Spring Festival is the most important festival in China, so my parents cleaned and decorated(装饰)our house with me before spring festival. We also bought lots of things in the supermarket.

On the eve 'of the Spring Festival, we had a big dinner. After dinner, I put on my new clothes, then my father, my mother and I went to the Flower Fairs. Wow! There were lots of kinds of flowers in the Flower Fairs, they were lilies, tulips, peach flowers..., how colorful and beautiful they were! So we took some photos here. We bought some flowers, then we went home happily: We watched TV until midnight. At twelve o'clock, we cheered to welcome the new year and wished each other good luck.

During Spring Festival I got lots of lucky money, so my favorite festival is Spring Festival. I hope every day is Spring Festival.
