                                                                Do you know how to keep fish at home?
   The fish need room. They must not be crowded（拥挤）. Fish need oxygen(氧气). Fish get it from water in the tank. There must be enough water for all fish in the tank. So the size of the tank is important..
   In the tank many people put small plants(植物). They give oxygen to the water. Plants help in other ways, too. Fish can nibble(轻咬)on the plants. They hide in the plants and sleep, lay eggs there.
   Both the plants and fish need light. You can put near a window. It will get light there. But remember: a window may let cold air in. The cold can kill(杀死) your fish. Too hot water can kill your fish, too.
   The fish need food and you should feed them every day. Giving them too much food is bad. It will make the water dirty. However, the fish should get just enough food. They should finish the food in 10 minutes. No extra(多余) is left. When this happens, the amount(数量)of food is right.

   The most unusual museum in London is the Science Museum. In most museums, there's no shouting and no running, and you aren't allowed to touch the exhibits(展品). But the Science Museum is different, because it's noisy! People talk about what they can see and do there, and some of the machines are noisy as well. Visiting the Science Museum is fun and it's a great way to learn about science because you can work things out and try out ideas.
   When I visit the Science Museum, I go to the Launch Pad. This is my favourite room because you can do physics experiments. For example, if you want to fill a bag with falling sand, you have to move a kind of truck on wheels into the correct position. I also go to the Rocket Show. You can learn how we travel into space and back again.
   Then I go upstairs to Human and Nature room. You can compare your speed with animals there. You hear a noise and push a button(按钮). If you aren't fast enough, the lion catches you! I'm faster than all my friends, but the lion still catches me.
   There are also rooms on transport, the environment and space technology, as well as maths, physics and chemistry.
   You can do a lot of things in this museum, but you have to obey some rules as well. For example, you mustn't take photos of the exhibits in the museum. But you can buy postcards of them in the museum shops.
   Above all, the Science Museum is free. That means you can drop in for a few minutes or you can stay as long as you like—it's open every day, from 10 am to 6 pm. So if you ever go to London, make sure you visit the Science Museum. It's my favourite museum in the whole world.

People in New Zealand have a very special way of greeting(问候) people. It's called Hongi(碰鼻礼).

When people meet, they always greet each other by pressing one's nose against another's nose. When a visitor is greeted in this way, people there won't see the person as a visitor any more, but one of the people of the land. Of course, during the visitor's stay, he has to share all the duties(职责).

At meetings or important ceremonies(典礼) people always greet in this way. And it's just like the handshake in our country.

Films provide more than just entertainment．Watching foreign language films is a way to develop language skills．While watching a film，you are immersed（沉浸）in the language and can pick up new expressions that you might not find in a textbook．Some difficulties can arise when watching foreign language films-for example，unfamiliar colloquial language or strong regional accents．With this in mind，here are my tips to help you make progress in English learning while enjoying the films．

Choose a film type that you enjoy.

If you like action films，watch an action film-for example Indiana Jones．If you prefer comedies，watch a comedy-anything with Hugh Grant in always provides a laugh！It's simple enough，but if you choose something you enjoy watching in your native language，you're more likely to enjoy it in English．

Choose something that you are familiar with.

It's best to start off with something simple because in this way you have a higher chance of understanding the film．Disney films such as The Lion King，or the more recently released Tangled，are classic examples．Other cartoons such as Rango and The Lego Movie are also worth a watch．

If you need to，use subtitles（字幕）．

Subtitles are very helpful for beginners．using subtitles in your own language is the easiest choice，but for more advanced learners why not consider using English subtitles？This way，you can match the written subtitles to the words spoken on .screen．It helps you to develop your language further.

I hope you find these tips useful-if you want to recommend a film to other users，feel free to use the comments section！

Do you have a lucky number? What is it? Many people have a special number. They hope it will bring them good luck.

In Chinese culture, people believe some numbers are lucky or unlucky. This is based on the Chinese word that the number sounds similar to.

For example, the Chinese word for the number 8 sounds like the word for "making a fortune". So, people consider it a very lucky number. Some people spend a lot of money to have 8s in their phone numbers or vehicle license plate (车牌照) numbers. The opening ceremony of the Beijing Olympics began at 8:08 pm on August 8, 2008.

The number 9 is also a lucky number because of its connection to the emperors (皇帝) of China. There were nine dragons on emperors' robes (龙袍). Today, 9 often stands for "long lasting". That's why a man always proposes to (向…求婚) a woman with 99 or 999 roses.

So what's a "bad luck" number in China? It might be 4. Many Chinese people see 4 as a "bad luck" number because it sounds similar to the character for "death".

Because of this, many buildings skip the fourth floor, and simply call it the fifth floor. In Hong Kong, some buildings even skip all floors numbered with 4, such as, 4, 14, 24, 34 all 40-49 floors. Some buildings also skip the 13th floor, as 13 is an unlucky number in the West. As a result, a building whose highest floor is 50 may actually have only 35 floors.
