    China's national anthem, March of the Volunteers, is a song that we learn at the beginning of primary school and sing at every flag-raising ceremony. And now, there's even a law to protect it.

    Last September, the government passed the National Anthem Law, which became effective(生效) from Oct.1, 2017. It states how we should sing or play the song, requiring all of us to behave towards it politely.

    Primary and middle schools must teach the anthem to their students and make them understand the song's spirit and history. Moreover, the law requires us to be serious when we are singing the song. We can't joke about it or change the song's words or music. If someone breaks the law, he or she can be detained for up to 15 days, or face further punishment in more serious situations. The national anthem is different from other songs – it is the symbol of our country.

    Many foreign countries also have laws for their national anthems. For example, American school children should put their right hand over their heart while singing their country's anthem at school. In Russia, the national anthem must be played on television and radio before the start and end of broadcasting. And in the Philippines, people are required to sing the national anthem with feelings when it's played in public.

The end of the year is drawing near, and winter is in full activity. The season brings along with its strong winds and snow — an environment that's never comfortable to be in.

 This unpleasant and even frightening part of winter can be often seen in literature. In Shakespeare's King Lear (1606), the king has given away his kingdom and been driven out by his two ungrateful daughters. He is out in the winter cold, suffering (遭受痛苦) things that are usually saved for the poorest and most unlucky human beings.

The winter is bad enough for Lear, but being driven out by his family is worse. A song from another Shakespeare's play, As You Like It(1599), is fitting for this poor old man's situation: "Blow, blow, thou winter wind/Thou art not so unkind/As man's ingratitude (忘恩负义)". Here, winter is used to bring out the ugliness of inhumanity (无人性). There aren't many things that are worse than winter, according to Shakespeare.

Once winter became less of a danger to human beings, it became more positive in literary works. Since Charles Dickens, the representation of the season in literature often has something to do with happy Christmas celebrations.

The cold of the winter weather provides a contrast (对比) to the fun going on indoors.

Dickens' A Christmas Carol (1843) was the start of this, but Christmas is still a common, cheery element (元素) in stories that feature winter scenes today. Consider the joy felt by Harry Potter and his friends in J. K. Rowling's Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone (1997) as they sit down for their festive meal:

"Harry had never in all his life had such a Christmas dinner. A hundred fat, roast turkeys; mountains of roast and boiled potatoes; platters of chipolatas; tureens of buttered peas, silver boats of thick, rich gravy and cranberry sauce."

It is almost as much a pleasure to read about the meal as it might have been to eat it.

Although winter still isn't the most cheerful season in novels and poems, it's safe to say that writers have surely "warmed up" since Shakespeare's days.

Do you get in trouble for feeding your dog on food from dinner under the table? A new study suggests that by sharing "people food",you might actually be helping to keep your pet healthy. 

Many dogs are fed dry processed food. Science has shown that a diet(饮食)of processed food is not healthy for humans. Scientists from the University of Helsinki, in Fin-land, say this diet is not good for our pet dogs, either. 

The scientists discovered that the food a dog might find in an owner's home such as eggs, fish, meat and vegetables may be better than a diet of just dog food. This is be-cause having different kinds of food leads to more variety (多样性)in microbes, which are little living things, too small to be seen with our eyes. There are millions of them in human and animal bodies. Some are bad for us, but many are good for us, and they play important roles in helping us digest(消化) food. 

A total of 8, 500 young pet dogs took part in the study. 4, 500 of them were under 6monthsold, and the rest were between 6 and 18 months old. The owners were asked about what food they had fed their pets and how often When the dogs reached adult-hood, their owners reported that about 20%of the dogs showed CE symptoms(慢性肠胃不适症状)such as weight loss. However, if dogs had been fed a mixed diet while young, . it was 22%less possible for them to experience CE symptoms later in life. 

Dr. Anna Helm-Bjorkman told The Times of London, "Dog food on sale are described as providing a complete diet. . But what we show is that variety is important. No-body would give 12 years of the same food to a child-why should a dog be different?"
