One day, a Chinese student 1 Sun Huangqiang went to study English in England. His 2  name was the same as the English word “sun”

    England is a country with 3 weather. It is often cloudy or misty(雾), and it rains very often, so the people there don't get much 4 in the whole year.

    When the Chinese student 5 London, a tall English policeman 6 a long face opened his passport (护照)to check it. The policeman was7 in the Chinese name “sun” in the passport. He thought it was pronounced(发音)just like the English word “sun”, so he said to the Chinese student,'' I see your name is Sun. You are wanted here,” The Chinese student was quite 8. But the policeman began to smile 9 a moment,” Mr Sun, you're bringing sunshine to England, so we don't want you 10 away. ”

A group of children from poor families from all over China gather at a baseball camp in Beijing. They live and train together, hoping to change their life through {#blank#}1{#/blank#} (play) baseball.

This is the story of the film Tough Out(《棒！少年》). It came out on December 11, 2020 and it is one of this {#blank#}2{#/blank#} (year) best films with a score of 8.7 out of 10 on Douban.

These children are being helped by Power Baseball Angels, a charity(慈善) programme launched in 2015 by Sun Lingfeng, former captain of China's national men's baseball team.

"Baseball changed my personality, teaching me rules and how {#blank#}3{#/blank#} (live) life. Without it, I would have probably become a bad boy," Sun told China Daily. Sun wants to help poor children in{#blank#}4{#/blank#} same way.

Ma Hu is one of the stars of the film. He {#blank#}5{#/blank#} (raise) by his grandmother in a poor village. He often fights {#blank#}6{#/blank#} others and almost never follows the rules at first. But with the guidance of his coaches, he learns to comfort his teammates instead when they lose a game. "I behaved {#blank#}7{#/blank#} (bad) back then," Ma said. "I'm not like that anymore. My goal is to become a member of the national team in the future."

The film hopes to draw attention to the 40 million children who live in poor {#blank#}8{#/blank#} (condition) in China. Just like Ma, many of the kids in the movie are left-behind children. They don't have much money, education {#blank#}9{#/blank#} parents' care. How can these {#blank#}10{#/blank#} (problem) be solved? The baseball charity programme is offering hope to these kids.

A man made his living by collecting coconuts in the countryside.One day，he went to a small village that he had never been before.

Towards the end of the day，his wagon was filled with coconuts.He decided to head home，because it was getting late.He wished to know how long it would take to get back to his village.

He saw an old man along the roadside and stopped to ask for directions.

"Excuse me，" he said， "Could you please tell me how long will it take to get to Carson from this village？When will I get to my home？"

The old man showed him the right direction and said， "If you go slowly，it will take only a short while for you to get home.But if you go quickly

The man could not understand the answer.He didn't believe the old man's suggestion was friendly.He gave the man an angry look and hit his horse to make it hurry.The horse began to run quickly.But soon，coconuts began to fall from the wagon.Each time，the man got off to collect the fallen coconuts and put them back into his wagon.

The faster he went，the more coconuts fell from his wagon，and the more time he had to take to pick them up.So he went home very late at last.However，△ ，and the man would have arrived home much earlier.

And so，as the old man said ，go slowly and it will take only a short while.

In 2023, a group of the young drew much attention in their different fields. They have become role models for young Chinese by showing how excellent and active they are. Here are the stories of three of them.

Chinese writer Hai Ya's The Space-Time Painter won an important prize on Oct 21st. He is the third Chinese writer to win this prize. Hai Ya was born in the 1990s. His work mixes history and science. The Space-TimePainter, for example, tells us a story of a painter called Zhao Ximeng. 

15-year-old Chen Yujie won the 100-meter event at the second U15 Gymnasiade (世界中学生运动会) in August. Chen often takes hard training all day and all night. Although it makes her painful sometimes, she says, "I get used to the training and it gives me the chance to realize my dream. I will keep on running!"

On Dec 21st, the members of Shenzhou XVII carried out their first spacewalk outside the Tiangong space station. Among them, Tang Shengjie who was born in 1989 set a new record by becoming the youngest Chinese astronaut (宇航员) to have a spacewalk. "It's the highest honor (荣誉) for me." he said in an interview with Xinhua.

Frodo is a 20-year-old cat who loves to sleep in the sun. However，getting to thisfavorite sleeping place by the pool means hobbling（跛行） down a lot of stairs every day. 

But life has become a lot easier for the old cat now. 

Liam Thompson is an inventor who loves cats. He noticed his old friend's difficulties and decided to do something. He spent four days building an elevator that would allow Frodo to go up and down the stairs easily. 

A video on the Internet showed how Thompson made the track and cart of the elevator for Frodo. video attracted over 900，000 people's interest. 

To make sure the elevator was safe for his old friend，Thompson used a toy to test the elevator. Thompson asked his favorite cat， "Are you ready to go downstairs without moving a muscle? I hope so because it took me four days. "

Frodo seemed very relaxed in the elevator as it went to the bottom of the stairs. Thompson laughed excitedly as Frodo walked out of the elevator and made his way over the pool. 

He said，"This is the greatest day of my life. "His love to his cat has won 1. 87 million fans on the Internet. Many viewers felt amazed at his work and one said，"His invention for his pet is much safer than the ones he invents for himself. Respect. "

It's a warm Saturday morning. Julia, Mark and Tina are at Simon's house. They are not doing their homework. They are making1 for this afternoon. They2 get together and play sports on Saturday afternoon, but this time, they want to do something3 . They hope to help Mr. White.

Mr. White is an old man in the town. He is seventy years old and he4 alone. His two daughters are both in another town. They' re too busy to look after him. So the four children plan to5 him this afternoon. Julia is going to tell some interesting stories to cheer6 up. Tina, Mark and Simon are going to do some7 for him. It always takes Mr. White a long time to wash his clothes because he is old8 he isn't in good health.

Now, the four good friends are9 . They want to meet Mr. White. They are sure Mr. White will be10 to see them. Maybe it's a big surprise for him.
