Feb. 17 should have been the start of the spring semester for many middle and primary schools in China. However, to control the spread of the COVID-19, many schools had delayed the start of the semester, following instructions from the Ministry of Education (MOE). But students in China were still studying.

Instead of having classes at school, many students in Beijing and Guangzhou began their first day of online classes on Feb 17. Students in Shanghai started online classes on March 2. "In the morning, I have English class, followed by Chinese and math, " Liu Bo, a Junior 3 student from Beijing, told Xinhua. "I have also learned about epidemic(流行病) prevention. "

According to the MOE, students were mainly taking classes to review previous knowledge rather than taking new classes during the online study period. Online courses were required to include contents about epidemic prevention, psychological health (心理健康) and educational activities (教育活动).

"Online courses are only temporary measures (暂时的措施) taken during the epidemic, so when the new semester begins, schools should not replace(替代) classroom teaching with online classes, " Lu Yugang from the ministry told China Daily.

The ministry also called on schools not to increase their students' schoolwork burden(负担). Schools should not ask students to study online for long periods of time or study things beyond( 超出) their curriculum(课程). Students must have enough time to rest, the ministry added. Also, it stressed that protecting students' eyesight must be a priority(优先).

Hello! My name is Henry Smith. I'm 13 years old. I am a student in No.1 Middle School. I love reading and playing ball games, such as tennis and basketball. And I can play them well. They are easy and interesting for me. I have three tennis balls and two basketballs in my room. I often play them with my classmates after school.

I have a good friend. Her name is Suzy. Suzy is an English girl. We are in the same school, but we are not in the same class. She loves listening to music and watching table tennis games on TV. She has 10 table tennis balls and 6 table tennis bats! But she can't play table tennis. She thinks it is difficult.

A small boy was trying to move a heavy wooden box out of his room. The box was much bigger than the boy. He tried his best to move it, but the box would not move at all. After resting for a short time, the boy tried to move it again. He pushed it with every muscle (肌肉) in his body, but he couldn't even move the box a little. He was very tired and upset (不安). 

The boy's father was coming home from work around this time. He stopped to watch his son's fruitless efforts (徒劳的努力). The father didn't help him, but instead (相反) asked, "Son, have you tried your best and are you doing everything you can?"

"Yes, I am!" the boy cried. "No, " his father said calmly (平静地), "you're not. You have not asked me to help you. "

Asking for help is not a weakness (弱点). At some point, even the best of us need help. It is important to know when to ask for help and understand why you need it. Never be afraid to ask other's for help when you're in trouble. 

It's many people's dream to travel around the world, and Cory Lee has already done it. 

Cory's traveling journey started early in his life. 1 he had to stay in a wheelchair because of his illness，Cory went on his first trip to Disney World when he was four.  At the age of 15, he traveled abroad for the first time with his mother, and since then he 2 great interest in traveling. 

The fearless young man never lets his wheelchair stop him from 3 what he can do. After visiting 37 countries all over the world, Cory just became 4 traveler in a wheelchair to visit every continent(洲)!"I understand that not 5 is sure to be possible, " he said. "But if you have made up 6 mind to do something and keep positive, you'll make it. "

It took 7 research and planning for Cory to prepare for his trips, and he said it was plenty of work.  That's what made him begin Curb Freewith Cory Lee， 8 website where he shares ideas with other disabled travelers. He also wrote a book for 9 -Let's Explore with Cor Cor. It tells a story about a boy who travels to different countries in his wheelchair. As you can imagine, many children 10 by his story. Just in his own way, Cory shows the world that where there's a will, there's a way.

Jill says, "We are {#blank#}4{#/blank#} (练习) our English. Linda is making {#blank#}5{#/blank#} (句子). She can't speak very quickly, so I can get the  {#blank#}6{#/blank#} (主要的) meanings easily. When she makes {#blank#}7{#/blank#}(错误), I write them down in the notebook. In this way, she can {#blank#}8{#/blank#} (理解) them better. "
