Ne Zha, which officially opened in cinemas in China, has got rave reviews and is rated higher than Monkey King: Hero Is Back. It is also China's first 3D animated (动画的) feature movie with the IMAX format (格式).

    Since July 13, previews of the movie have taken more than 140 million yuan at the box office and the movie has a score of 8. 8 points (out of 10) on China's largest filming rating site (评分网站) , Douban.

    Ne Zha has more than 1, 300 special effects shots, and it took over 20 Chinese special-effects studios, employing more than 1,600 people. It took Yang Yu, 39, the movie's director and screenwriter, two years to complete it, and the movie was in production for three years. It is the most complex animated production ever made in China. In Yang's movie he is fighting against prejudice (偏见) : Ne Zha is hated and feared all the time. But Ne Zha believes his fate is not predetermined (预先确定的) and that he can choose to be a demon or a god.

     "After watching so many domestic animated movies, only Ne Zha and Monkey King: Hero Is Back have made me shang tou (obsessed or fascinated) ," a Weibo user commented under the promotional video. "I couldn't believe a domestic animated movie can be created with such a well-developed story. I'm sure Ne Zha is going viral (走红) this summer!" reads another comment on Douban.

When we are talking about animals in China, the most precious (珍贵的) animal we would think of is the panda. In fact, we have one kind of bird as precious as the panda,1many people don't know much about it. The bird is called crested ibis (朱鹮) . It is as2as snow with a red face and looks very beautiful. It is also in danger like the panda.

Crested ibises3in tall trees by small rivers or rice fields. They look for small fish and4small animals for food. About one hundred years ago,5crested ibises lived in China, Russia and Japan. Later, as they lost their homes,6them was getting smaller and smaller. Between 1965 and 1980, people didn't see any of them living in the wild. Luckily, on May 23, 1981, scientists7seven of them in the south of Shanxi Province. 8protect crested ibises in the wild, the Chinese government is setting up nature parks and developing other plans. Now scientists are doing a lot of research to help them to9more babies. Today there are about 1,500 crested ibises living in the wild. Zoos and research centres10after about 500 crested ibises.

Many people take running as a way to keep fit. They like to run in hot weather and enjoy the feeling of being wet through with sweat (汗) while running. Cold weather during winter months, with low temperatures and freezing cold winds, may keep people from running in the open air.

However, a new study shows that the drop in temperature is a good reason to run. In fact, running in cold weather helps improve one's performance. Many runners might find it easier to run in winter than in hot weather. The body needs less water on a cold day than in warm weather. In addition, lower temperatures reduce stress on the body. When you run in cold weather, your heart rate is lower.

John Brewer is a professor of applied sports science at St. Mary's University in London. For this study, he and other researchers put a group of people into a room where summer and winter weather conditions are recreated. The test subjects were asked to run 10,000 meters under both conditions and their biological measurements were recorded and studied.From the study, every movement runners make produces heat. The heat can be really damaging unless the body can lose it. One way in which people lose heat is by sweating. The body loses heat through sweat. The body also loses it by transporting the blood to the surface of the skin and it puts more stress on the heart, especially in hot conditions because it's much harder to lose heat when the outside environment is warm. As the result shows, running in hot temperatures results in 6 percent higher heat rates.

When running in cold conditions, the body does not have to work hard to move blood to the skin surface. Therefore, it requires less energy. The most important thing for people who run in cold conditions is to wear the right clothing. Keep as dry as possible when exercising in low temperatures. Wear warm and light clothing to keep sweat away from your skin. So don't let winter weather keep you indoors. Simply get ready for the low temperatures and start running.

Nature is amazing! Take a close look at the world of insects, and you'll discover many unbelievable things. Consider butterflies (蝴蝶), for example. They have beautiful wings and magical flying skills. On summer days, you always see them flying freely over flower gardens and wild fields.

But did you know how butterflies become the flying insects? It is one of the wonders of nature. In the beginning, the mother lays a small and colourful egg on a leaf or stem of a plant. It is hard to believe that the egg will become something completely different in a few days. It becomes a walking insect. This insect is called a caterpillar. It now has legs, eyes and a large body. A new life begins. The caterpillar can eat, walk and see. But it is still not a butterfly.

Soon, after growing big, the caterpillar makes a cover for itself. It covers itself in the nice protective blanket (保护层) and goes to sleep. This is known as the "pupa (蛹)" stage. After some time, the blanket breaks and a wet butterfly appears. It now has six legs, a mouth, eyes and wings. Shortly, the beautiful butterfly spreads (张开) its wings and flies away. After a few weeks, this butterfly lays her eggs, and the cycle (循环) begins all over again.

This is just one example of the wonders of nature. Look around the natural world, and you will learn many truly amazing things.

What are the Chinese astronauts' lives like? Do they do the same things in s_46 as we do on Earth?

The answer is yes. They do most of the things we do on Earth. But they do something [ʌn' ju:ʒuəl] {#blank#}1{#/blank#}. When their ship reaches a certain area, they can see the sun go up and down every 45 minutes. And they can have fun, too. They can s{#blank#}2{#/blank#} some time watching movies and talking to their families. In this way they will n{#blank#}3{#/blank#} feel bored.

Of course, they will do exercise to make sure that they will not get {#blank#}4{#/blank#}[ wi:k]. Because we can't send a doctor up there!

When it's time for sleep, astronauts have to sleep in bags. They t{#blank#}5{#/blank#} themselves to the bags so that they will not float away in their sleep.
