①Many people think wheat straw(麦秸) is the waste on the farm. However, Wu Cui, a straw plaiting ( 草 编) artist from Helan County, Ningxia, can turn straw into eye-catching artworks.

②Wu, 29, is the sixth-generation inheritor(第六代继承人) of straw plaiting. Learning from her uncle, Wu made things with straw when she was a child. She made the straw-plaiting her job after she finished college three years ago.

③Before plaiting straw, Wu usually spends a long time finding the right straw. Then she ties them up and dries them. Also, Wu needs to put the straw in warm water so that the straw won't break easily. Choosing from materials is the first step. And then Wu needs to sketch(素描) the piece on paper, which requires drawing skills. Next comes the weaving(编织) , shaping and finally the preserving of the work.

④"In the past, we could see straw products(制品) everywhere in the countryside, such as straw hats and straw shoes. But the world has changed. There are so many things for people to choose from. So we need to find other ways to share the art with people," Wu says.

⑤When asked about her plans, Wu says she wants to di g deeper into the traditional culture and make more creative(有创造力的) works.

What is your favorite cartoon? It may be difficult for you to decide. But for Lang Lang, Tom and Jery is the best one. When he was two years old, he saw Tom playing the piano. This was bis first time to enjoy western music and this experience encouraged him to learn to play the piano. His talent in the keyboard(琴键)bas taken him from his hometown to the world.

Lang Lang became a good piano student at the age of three. Ever since the boy has been doing better and better. In 1977, the 15-year-old boy studied at a famous American music college. The road to success has never been easy. Lang Lang's father stopped bis job and went to America to look after him, while bis mother stayed in his bometown to make money. His parents really provided so much support for him. Lang Lang considered himself lucky and believed he should give something back.

Online classes in space got lots of attention among Chinese students. The "classroom" in space station is about 400 kilometres away from the earth. The space classes make the young proud of our country. As a special "teacher", Wang Yaping is regarded as (看作)"the most beautiful astronaut(宇航员). 

Wang Yaping was born in a small village in Shandong in 1980. She studied hard all those years. She was good at all subjects, especially sports. Luckily, in 1997, she was accepted by Changchun Flight Academy. 

Wang's space dream started in 2003, when China sent its first astronaut Yang Liwei into space. She told herself, "China now has a male astronaut. When will there be a female one?" At that time, Wang was a pilot in the Chinese army. After having safe flights (飞行)for 1, 600 hours during nine years in the training centre, Wang was a strong candidate (候选人)to become an astronaut in 2010. In 2013, Wang realized her space dream. She was sent to space by Shenzhou— 10. She joined the team of Shenzhou— 13 in 2021 and flew into the space for the second time. 

However, it is difficult to be an astronaut. She has to experience a lot of pain that most people can't stand and keep training all the time. Wang Yaping told Xinhua, "The space environment won't change because you are a woman. " She pushed herself hard, getting the same training as men, including the pull— ups and barbells(杠铃). That finally made her dream come true. 

"You are on the way to success as long as you stick to your dreams, " Wang Yaping said. She set a good example to the young. Millions of students are encouraged and inspired(受鼓舞)by the most beautiful astronaut.
