Several years ago, when I was teaching at a middleschool, a girl sent me a message. She found someone write a very1messageon her locker. She made a picture of it and then sent it to me asking for2.

A few hours later, I noticed that on herInstagram she had posted that picture and asked if anyone3whodid that.

Well, the following day, the girl came to mewith a boy. She showed me a4she had received. It was a heartfeltapology. I asked her if she knew who had done it, and the boy repliedembarrassedly(尴尬地), "It was me. I don't know why I did it,but I know it was5. So I wrote her this note. I6wantedto do something to try to make up for my meanness."

My heart felt so full of7forthis boy. I told him how8he was to come forward and how amazing itwas that he did something9to correct his mistake. I10thegirl and asked her if she could forgive him. Without hesitation, she said, "Yes."

I think middle school students are not littlechildren any more, and not grown-ups yet. It is normal that they make mistakes.Every day I remind myself that although I am an educator, my students trulylove me.

Environmental protection is one of the hottest topics nowadays. It was also something that ancient Chinese paid great attention to. In fact, the world's earliest environmental protection idea, ministry （部门） and law were all born in China. How did the ancient Chinese protect the environment?

The world's earliest idea of "managing state affairs（政事）through environmental protection"

Xunzi, a famous thinker in the Warring States Period, came up with the idea of "managing state affairs through environmental protection". He wrote in his book that vegetation（植被）should be protected well by humans.

Guan Zhong, a government officer 400 years ahead of Xunzi, was also an environmental protection expert. He said "a king who cannot protect his vegetation is not doing a good job".

The world's earliest environmental protection ministry"

Nine ministries set up by Shim, an ancient Chinese emperor, included "Yu"（虞） , an environmental protection ministry. Hie first " Yu'' leader was Boyi, an environmental protection expert. He invented wells so people could drink clean water. He knew a lot about animals and also called for animal protection.

The world's earliest "environmental protection law"

Over 4, 000 years ago, Dayu, an ancient Chinese water-control expert and also an emperor, made a rule, not allowing people to cut down trees in March or catch fish in June, because it was the time when they grew quickly.

Almost 3,000 years ago, Tianlv, the first environmental protection law, appeared in Qin. It recorded many ancient environmental protection rules. Two of them were interesting: firstly, rivers should not be blocked（堵塞）; secondly, grass and trees should not be burned to be fertilizer （肥料）except for summer. The second one is inspiring even for today. It can help to keep air clean and fresh.

How l've Changed!

How time flies!

Hi, I am Mo Hongwei from Qihe, Shandong Province. I am going to enjoy myself during the New Year holiday. On 1st January, I am going to stay at home and do my homework. On the morning of 2nd January, I am going to meet my grandfather's friend Mo Yun at the train station. In the afternoon, I am going to take Grandpa Mo around my school. In the evening, we are going to have a welcome party for Grandpa Mo. On the morning of 3rd January, I am going to show Grandpa Mo how to write with left hand. And I am going to ask Grandpa Mo to give me some advice about reading too. I think my New Year holiday is going to be fun. 

 What does a day look like for a high school student in the United States? Well,I can tell you about my day in high school.

 Our schoolday goes from 8:30 am to 5:30 pm. Sometimes I have cheerleading(啦啦队活动) practice or play practice at 6:30 am. If I have time,I eat breakfast at the school dining room.

 Then I go towards my locker(锁柜) and take my books for the first period. Each class goes for about 50 minutes and we have 10 minutes to get to the next class. We study many things, such as science, maths, French and PE.

I play the piano in a band, so one of my class periods is used for that. Lunchtime is usually at 12:30 pm, and then we have some time to hang out outside or by our lockers. At the end of the day there is a seminar (研讨会) period. It is used for studying or meetings.

 After school, I cheer at a basketball game, or have speech practice. My family always try to have dinner at around 7:00 pm, but there isn't always time. I finally start doing homework at around 8:00 pm or 9:00 pm.

 So there you have it! That's my day in high school.

Li Shuyou is eighty years old. He has a big love for music. He is good at folk music(民间音乐). 

Now Mr Li is a music teacher in Jiantouzhou Village, Hunan. He is busy every day. Many students learn how to play the pipa, the erhu, the liugin and the sanxian from him. These students are not of the same age. Some are about 5 years old. Some are about 18 years old. Mr Li's lessons are welcome. Many parents take their children to study there. And they have fun there. Ding Jiewen is one of them. "Mr Li's lessons are not boring. He always tells us some interesting stories. We have a good time there. And I think folk music is useful. I love it very much, " she says. 

Mr Li is happy to be a music teacher there. Some people say to Mr Li, "You are old and you should enjoy(享受)life at home. " But Mr Lt doesn't think so. He loves folk music so much. He wants more students to learn it and live it. And he also wants to help students in Jantouzhou have a good life.
