A new TV series in England，Away from it all，has surprised everyone by becoming a huge success with young people across the country．Its success is surprising because the series is about the relaxing lifestyles of people who live in the country．There is none of the action that we usually see on TV today．There are also no stressful moments，busy offices or crowded cities．Away from it all is set in the peaceful English countryside and tells simple stories about people's kindness．
The director of the TV series says that its success is a sign of teenagers suffering from stress．They say that watching Away from it all helps teenagers forget about the pressures(压力)of exams and homework，and the troubles that fill the world today．They also say that it's a good sign of today's young people switching to(转到)happier TV series as it shows they would like a happier and healthier world．
Although the series'success might have a good side，many teachers and parents are worried，however．They say that some of their students and children are becoming couch potatoes(终日泡在电视机前的人)and are using Away from it all as an excuse for not completing homework．Some children have even refused to learn for exams because they say that they can only achieve personal happiness by avoiding(避免)stressful situations completely．
And what do the experts(专家)say? Paula Ray，a doctor of education，says that TV can influence children's lifestyles．But she says that if a child reacts strongly，it's likely that there are other reasons for his change in behaviour．She says that there is nothing wrong with watching Away from it all but suggests that parents should make sure their children know TV is not the same as real life，

    Good morning. I'm Chen Hua. Here's my culture report for today, Monday:
    A new film starts tonight at the student cinema at eight o'clock. The film is Pirates of the Carribean. It's a fantastic adventure film. Johnny Depp and Orlando Bloom are the stars. They are both very popular and famous, and they both act well in this film, and make their characters believable.
    The story is about an old ship. It sails around the Carribean islands. Depp and Bloom try to find some lost gold. Then they come fare to face with some terrible men, and have to fight them. There's lots of action, and the fighting looks really dangerous. They also saves Keira Knightly. She plays Elisabeth, the daughter of a rich man. The scenes with Knightly and Bloom are beautiful and romantic.
    The film isn't true to life, but it's very exciting, and some of it is very funny. It' s an enjoyable film, although in my opinion there's too much fighting. But except for that, it's an excellent film. U you didn't see it when it first came out, I advise you to go and see it now. I' m sure you'll enjoy it. It's showing all week.

   Recently, many people have begun to try a new way of doing shopping through the Internet. They are very interested in it. Why is itbecoming more and more popular now? There are some reasons. First, more and more people have their own computers and their computers can be joined with the Internet. So it is possible for many of them to do shopping through the Internet. Second, shopping through the Internet can save them some money and a lot of time. Third, they don't need to go to the shop themselves. Because of these good facts, few people refuse it.
   On the other hand, some people don't like this new way of shopping. They are worried about the safety of shopping online. Customers(顾客)can only see the pictures of a product on the Internet. And they can't enjoy the pleasure of buying things in a large supermarket or a wonderful shopping center. These are the reasons why they do not like it.
   But I think more and more people will like this new kind of shopping in the future.

    Without proper planning, tourism can cause problems. For example, too many tourists can crowd public places that are also enjoyed by the local people of a country. If tourists create too much traffic, the local people become unhappy. They begin to dislike tourists and to treat them impolitely. They forget how much tourism can help the country's economy(经济). It is important to think about the people of a destination country and how tourism affects them. Tourism should help a country keep the customs and beauty that attract tourists. Tourism should also advance(推进) the well-being (health and happiness) of local people.
    Too much tourism can be a problem. If tourism grows too quickly, people must leave other jobs to work in the tourism industry. This means that other parts of the country's economy can suffer.
    On the other hand, if there is not enough tourism, people can lose jobs. Businesses can also lose money. It costs a lot of money to build large hotels, airports, air terminals, first-class roads and other support facilities needed by tourist attractions. For example, a major international-class tourism hotel can cost as much as 50 thousand dollars per room to build. If this room is not used most of the time, the owners of the hotel will lose money.
    Building a hotel is just a beginning. There must be many support facilities as well, including roads to get to the hotel, electricity, sewers to handle waste, and water. All of these support facilities cost money. If they are not used because there are not enough tourists, jobs and money are lost.

My favorite holiday is the Spring Festival. It's usually in February, but sometimes in January. Before the Spring Festival, we always clean the house to sweep away bad luck. In my family, my mother and I spend one or two days cleaning the house. My grandparents are busy shopping. They go to markets to buy food, fireworks and many other things.

On the eve of the Spring Festival, my family celebrates with a traditional big family dinner. There's so much delicious food that my mother cooks for us. Jiaozi is the most important. It means saying goodbye to the old year and welcoming the new year. We also watch the Spring Festival Gala as we wear our new clothes. Children are very happy when they get their lucky red packets with money. I am very lucky to have many relatives because I always get a lot of lucky money!

I love the Spring Festival and enjoy it very much.

Many people drive their cars to school or work now. So there are lots of cars on the streets. Sometimes, it's not easy for you to get to school or work on time(准时). Then you want to take a plane to school or work. Can your dream come true? Yes!

Four people in Germany(德国) make a new plane—Lilium Jet. It doesn't look like a plane but an egg. Many people think it looks funny. The nice "egg" can take two people and "run" about three hundred kilometers an hour.

The Lilium Jet is not very big. So it doesn't need an airport(机场). A small place is OK.

Some people also call the Lilium Jet "a flying car". It's not difficult for you to learn to drive it. You can drive it like driving a car.

Maybe you can buy one in 2018 if you like it. I'm sure your trip to school or work will be great.
