The cold wind blew strongly outside. Amaya was warm in her house, thinking about an article she'd read at school. The article was about kids who helped out their communities, and she thought it would be really cool to help her own town, Harvard.

   The only problem was that she wasn't sure how to help. In the article, the kids had grown food for people who needed food, but it was winter. She couldn't start a garden. Amaya was deep in thought when her mom said it was time to go shopping.

   As they drove along the road, Amaya saw a family walking on the sidewalk(人行道), wearing only light jackets. How could they must be! That gave her an idea! She could collect winter coats, hats and gloves for people who needed them.

   She shared her idea with her mom, who thought it was great. But how would they spread the idea to get plenty of winter clothing? Amaya decided to talk to her teacher, because then she could share her idea with her classmates at least.

   Ms. Monroe agreed when Amaya talked about her idea. They decided to call the project Hats in Harvard. Then they wrote a letter explaining the project. Ms. Monroe even said she could help Amaya talk to the headmaster aboutit, so they could get the whole school to join in it. They met with the headmaster during lunch time. He was excited about the idea, and said he would make sure copies(复印件) of the letter went home with all the students.

   They collected enough winter clothing in only one week. Then they left the clothes around two parks, so families who needed clothes could get them there. Three days later, Amaya and her mom went shopping again. She saw the same family that had given her the idea for Hats in Harvard. This time, though, the family looked nice and warm in some new coats, hats and gloves. Amaya felt warm in her heart, and was very glad she could help others.

Watermelons, once the fruit of only royal (皇家的)families, are now on the table of common people. And they are many people's favorite fruit. 

Liu Wanlin lives in Xining, Qinghai. She describes watermelons as the "fruit of the people". "They are not like expensive durians(榴莲). They are cheap and common people can buy enough of them, "she said. 

Liu grew up in the countryside of the dry Qinghai-Xizang Plateau (青藏高原). The weather there is not good for the planting of watermelons. "I never tasted watermelons as a child, "she said. "But freedom of watermelons'is now not a dream anymore in my place. "People in her place can have as many watermelons as they wish. They get the fruit mainly from Gansu, Shaanxi, and Xinjiang. 

Song Shaozhe works in a restaurant in Wuhan, Hubei. He says that watermelons are really common at many restaurants as the after-meal fruit, because they are cheap. 

However, the "freedom of watermelons"didn't come easy. These years, scientists try hard to improve watermelon breeding ( 育 种 ) . Watermelons become abundant. The large number of watermelons makes them cheaper. Also, thanks to the development of farming techniques(技术), it is

possible for people to enjoy the fruit all year around. 

In the picture, a girl is standing on a bamboo pole (竹竿) on the river and dancing beautifully. It's not a scene from a movie, but a form of intangible cultural heritage (非物质文化遗产)—bamboo drifting (独竹漂).

Yang Liu, 24, is an inheritor (传承人) of bamboo drifting. She started to lean it from her grandmother when she was 7. As she was weak in health as a child, her grandmother wanted her to become stronger through this sport. Yang threw herself into practicing bamboo drifting all year round, even in the winter cold and the summer heat. "It was common for me to fall into the water when I started practicing," recalled Yang. It took her three years to learn the basic skills of bamboo drifting. In order to learn more bamboo drifting skills,Yang had to practise so many difficult movements on a bamboo pole that was 9 m in length and 15 cm in diameter (直径). Through years of hard training,Yang now considers the bamboo pole as her "best friend".

At one point, encouraged by her grandmother,Yang began to combine (结合) dance with bamboo drifting. "My grandmother came up with an idea. She said that I had been practicing bamboo drifting since I was a child, so why not try to combine dance with the skill? It might be something different." the young woman said. Yang's hard work gradually paid off when she was able to perfectly perform dancing with the traditional bamboo drifting skills. "I hope that more people can know about bamboo drifting and enjoy this form of art," said Yang.

My parents usually work hard. My father also {#blank#}1{#/blank#}me to be good at every subject. We spend a few days going to different places together every year to relax {#blank#}2{#/blank#}.

Last year, we decided to go to a beach, so we used the Internet to get some information about some places close to the sea. Finally, we {#blank#}3{#/blank#}Qingdao City and had a lot of fun there. We visited Qingdao Polar Ocean World. When we walked through it, we saw some beautiful penguins (企鹅). They were black and white. They were much {#blank#}4{#/blank#}than other penguins. I thought they were the most popular ones among all the animals there.

What a(n) {#blank#}5{#/blank#} trip it was! Now I can still remember that trip so clearly that I will never forget it.

At No. 150 High School of Changchun, Jilin Province, there are some talented students. They recreated the work A Thousand Miles of Rivers and Mountains that{#blank#}1{#/blank#}(paint) by Wang Ximeng during the Northern Song Dynasty.

Zhou Baile is among{#blank#}2{#/blank#}(they). He spent much time and energy on the work. Once there was yellow paint on his school uniform. His family suggested that he change into a new school uniform,{#blank#}3{#/blank#} he refused." For me, the paint is a symbol of creation," Zhou said.

" The painting is 11 metres long and it took the students 129 days{#blank#}4{#/blank#}(finish) it," said Duan Yingzi, the art teacher who guided the students.

{#blank#}5{#/blank#}2022, Duan started a painting club to teach students to enjoy and copy the works of many famous Chinese art masters. A Thousand Miles of Rivers and Mountains was one of the works. Later, Duan started{#blank#}6{#/blank#} painting project to copy the great work.

When they carried out the project, the students {#blank#}7{#/blank#}(careful) worked step by step, bringing the painting to life again on a big wall. They even added their own creative ideas.

" Seeing our work, I can sense how {#blank#}8{#/blank#}(excite) Wang Ximeng felt when he finished his great work," said one of the students." The process not only improves our {#blank#}9{#/blank#}(skill), but also helps us get relaxed," Zhou said.

Through the project, Duan {#blank#}10{#/blank#}(hope) the students can increase their understanding of Chinese painting and pass on the excellent traditional Chinese culture.
