Jane is my sister. She is not very healthy. She doesn't like exercising. She just likes watching cartoons on TV every day or playing with her toys at home. Her eating habits are also not good. 她非常喜欢吃肉。 Her favorite meat is beef(牛肉). She never eats vegetables. She eats junk food three or four times a week.我父母亲想要她保持健康。They ask her to drink milk every day. But Jane thinks she can't stand(忍受) that. Although (尽管) she is not very healthy, she has one good habit. She sleeps for nine hours every night. I think it is important to keep healthy, so I hope Jane can do more exercise and eat more fruit and vegetables.

    If you're away from home, feeling a bit blue or searching for some comfort, the Danes have a solution. It's called “hygge”. Coming from Danish culture, but popularized by the British in 2016, hygge is much more than just a word, it's becoming a feeling around the world.

    The hygge refers to the sense of happiness you get when your family is gathered together at new year or Christmas. It is all about the pleasant feelings of home: the smell of your mother's cooking, your partner's arm around your shoulder and so on.

    Hygge is an antidote(良药) to stress. You know when you've got it, a gentle warmth starts spreading through your body. Another important part of hygge is that it has nothing to do with modern technology. It's a period time to relax your tired mind and eyes. So, put down that smartphone and turn off the computer.

    You should also know that hygge is not about healthy eating or more exercise. In fact, it's just the opposite. You're supposed to be lost in what you like: enjoy sweet snacks and calorie-laden cakes freely.

    Let yourself be carried on a wave of nostalgia(怀旧) back to your birthplace, and remember  the childhood songs of your distant youth with a smile. If it helps, wrap yourself in a warm blanket and sleep with one of your favorite books (not a pill or e-reader).

    If Denmark seems too far, then think of old Beijing with its hutong and courtyard houses. Picture yourself sit around a traditional stove with your loved ones, eating dumplings and chatting about the old days. Let yourself drift back in time to a period where everything is relaxing, and there is no need to reply to any e-mails or text messages. They did not exist(存在) back then.

    Now you've really understood hygge without even having to set foot in Copenhagen.

Ma Yun is in his words

    There are always many young people who want to learn something from me. In fact, I'm not as lucky as most of you. I tried 3 times for colleges but all failed. For the fourth time, I tried for the teachers' college and they accepted me. I applied(申请) for jobs for 30 times. You can guess the results. It was so difficult at that time. I was down but I didn't give up and fought on. So you can see a new Ma Yun now.

    You are lucky enough. You are at the best time of this century. The best wealth you have is that you are young.

    Among all the challenges, I think the biggest one is education. Something we teach our kids is too old. So we have to research what is the best way and what are the best things to teach our kids.

    The future you face is not a competition for knowledge but a competition for creativity and imagination.

    When people have problems, the chance will come. If you can solve them, then the chance will belong to you.

    I'm Mary Miller. I'm from the USA. I'm eight. I have a phone. It's black. It's nice and I like it very much. My phone number is 230-8888. I like the number, because (因为) 8 is my favorite number. ①Li Yuan is my good friend. She is in China. She is six. ②她的英文名字是吉娜。She has a phone, too. Her phone number is 322-5645.
