The 14-year-old girl Susan Davis is having a party. At this party, there are neither cakes nor candles. There is only a room full of art supplies(供应品)and many kids she never met. And all the kids are homeless.

 Susan got the idea last year after her school. She worried that kids who could not afford their own supplies would give up drawing. So she started writing letters to big companies to ask for help. Then the girl received lots of donations(赠品)from some of the biggest art supply companies. Susan collected more than $3000 in supplies, enough to make a home for kids to paint their own watercolors.

By far she's held three parties. What she did was encouraged by the White House. Susan received the President's awards(奖赏). Now Susan does it for a different reason— to get the poor kids to enjoy art.

Dear Editor，

    I'm a high school student. One day，on my way to school I found that along the river bank in Zhaowang River Park，the road was badly destroyed and some color bricks had disappeared，which would affect people's going out. ①Perhaps these bricks were carried away by some people nearby and kept by themselves. ②我对此事感到伤心。

    Since the public facilities are often destroyed like that，I suggest that our government should repair the road as soon as possible and take some measures to protect these public facilities. And as to us students，whenever we find someone destroying our public facilities，we should make efforts to stop him or her in time. Only in this way can we have a more beautiful and comfortable city to live in.

Li Qiang

    Got a moment -or, maybe, 15seconds? In the age of fragmented(片段化的) time, short, funny videos on smart phones can easily get people interested when they have nothing better to do in their free time. Enter Douyin, which is one of the most popular apps in China; it has over one billion daily plays every day now. Users can make funny short music videos whatever they want.

    Launched(上线)in September 2016, Douyin makes people be able to share their lives with each other, make new friends or just watch funny short videos. Most music videos in Douyin are less than 15 seconds, not only suitable for young people, but for all ages.

    Douyin's international version(国际版), called Tik Tok, is also popular in Japan, where it was in first place on the country's Apple Store free app list for both April and May 2018. After launching in Japan in August 2017, the app now attracts so many young Japanese.

    A report says the country's internet economic(经济) results, in 2017 the market size for short videos was 5.73 billion yuan, while the whole market can reach 35.68 billion yuan in three years.

    It's not surprising that Douyin becomes so successful — all you need to do is picking up your phone and opening the app to make yourself relaxed and have a laugh.

The moon landing

    It's always been man's dream to fly like a bird in the sky. Back in 1865, a French writer once wrote about man's landing on the moon on a special airplane with three people inside, and the first person to touch the ground on the moon would be American. That was considered (被认为) to be a crazy (疯狂的) idea at that time. Over one hundred years later, on July 20, 1969, however, this impossible dream did come true.

    It was a big day in the history of the 20th century. On that day, a special airplane took three brave (勇敢的) men from Cape Kennedy at a speed of 35,533 feet per second. The trip to the moon took 103 hours and 30 minutes. In fact, it was the first time that man ever "walked" in outer space. On the trip, two of the spacemen spent two hours on the moon walking like flying, and the other stayed in the spaceship. They studied the appearance of the moon. Four days later, the spaceship Apollo 11, returned to the earth and the astronauts were welcomed by people around the country. The man who took the first step, Neil Armstrong, said, "That's a small step for a man, one giant leap for mankind." This has been said again and again in every language around the world since then.
