The seasons in Australia are not like ours. When it is winter in china, it is summer there. June, July and August are the winter months; September, October and November are spring, the summer is in January, February and December, and March, April and May are the autumn months.

    A very large part of this country has no rain at all. The east coast (海岸地区) has rain all year, and there are no dry months there. The southeast winds blows (吹) here all the year. They bring rain from the sea. There is not much rain on the west side. The southeastern part of Australia has summer rain from the southeast winds. They only blow here in summer.

    The southwestern part of Australia has winter rain. The west winds blow over the southwest in winter only. In the north of Australia, there is no rain in winter. The rain comes in summer. The northwest winds bring it.

    Running away is a serious problem. There are lots of runaway and homeless kids living in the streets around the world.

①孩子们为什么想离家出走？

    Some kids run away because they're afraid to tell their parents the bad things that they did at school or in society.

②Some kids run away because there is violence(暴力）in the family.

    Some kids run away because their parents divorce(离婚）or marry again.

    Some kids run away because they have problems at school.

    What will you do if your friend wants to run away from home?

    If your friend is thinking about running away, tell him or her that it is difficult to survive(幸存）in the streets. Try to help your friend feel less alone.

    ③Whatever the problem is, there are other ways to solve it. Maybe you can't think of the ways right now, but an adult(成年人）will know how to help you. You should tell an adult that your friend plans to run away as soon as possible. Being a real friend doesn't mean keeping a secret that may hurt someone. And running away isn't a solution(解决方法）for either of you.64.It only makes more problems and danger.

    Hello, boys and girls. My name is Kangkang. I'm from Tianjin. {#blank#}1{#/blank#}  My mother works in No.10 Middle School, too. She teaches Chinese. My father is a doctor in a hospital.

   {#blank#}2{#/blank#}

    On Sunday my mother and I often do some shopping. {#blank#}3{#/blank#}  We will go shopping this Sunday afternoon. My mother says she will buy me a red coat.{#blank#}4{#/blank#}  I want a yellow one. My mother says yes to me. I am happy.

    My father doesn't like shopping at all. He likes animals best. He often takes me to the zoo. {#blank#}5{#/blank#} I think pandas are very cute. This Sunday morning my father will go to the zoo with me.

Have you heard of the app (应用程序) Douyin? It's quite popular nowadays. There are plenty {#blank#}1{#/blank#} funny short videos on it. We can learn {#blank#}2{#/blank#} to draw pictures do housework and so on from the videos. So I enjoy watching {#blank#}3{#/blank#} (they). But there are some {#blank#}4{#/blank#} (disadvantage) about the app. 

First, it can take {#blank#}5{#/blank#}too much of our time. We can easily become addicted (上瘾的) to it. Once, I enjoyed videos for {#blank#}6{#/blank#}(near) a whole afternoon. I forgot {#blank#}7{#/blank#} (do) my homework. It {#blank#}8{#/blank#} (steal) my time and energy. 

{#blank#}9{#/blank#} (two), there are lots of meaningless (无意义的) videos. For example, some people did boring things {#blank#}10{#/blank#}posted what they did on the app. Watching these videos is not {#blank#}11{#/blank#} (help) for the growth of the students. 

In a word, not everything on Douyin {#blank#}12{#/blank#} (be)good. So we shouldn't lose {#blank#}13{#/blank#} (we) in short videos for fun. We can set up {#blank#}14{#/blank#} time to go online, such as after homework. I think spending {#blank#}15{#/blank#} (little) than 20 minutes online each time is OK. What do you think?

Can a piece of paper be changed into a fine work of art？If you have the chance to enjoy Liang Chunlan's paper﹣cuts，you will be surprised at her skills.

Liang Chunlan，56，is a member of the Chinese Folk Literature and Art Association.She began learning how to make paper﹣cuts when she was a little girl."Influenced by both my mother and grandmother，"says Liang Chunlan.

Liang Chunlan has been making paper﹣cuts for more than 30 years.She has already won many prizes for her paper﹣cuts.By drawing ideas from life and Shanxi's traditional culture，she has created a special artistic style.

In recent years，she has put a lot of effort（hard work） into spreading this art.She likes teaching others to make paper﹣cuts.Sometimes，she folds napkins（餐巾） and cuts paper to show her friends how to make paper﹣cuts.

"What I did was not enough."said Liang Chunlan.To encourage young people to learn the craft﹣making skills，she has provided training courses for school students to teach them how to make paper﹣cuts.She has also spoken to university students in Australia and other countries to introduce this traditional art.

Liang has written several books to help Chinese understand the beauty of the paper﹣cuts.Some art schools have used her works as teaching materials.She will continue to try to do something meaningful to spread our country's traditional art.
