Anne Zhang is a 21-year-old girl from Hangzhou, China. Now she studies in Britain. One day, when she was taking a train from London to Oxford, she heard loud noises on the train.
Before, the train had been very quiet. Some people were resting while others were reading books or listening to music. Suddenly, a group of Chinese people laughed loudly as they played a game of cards.
As it becomes easier for Chinese people to get visas(签证) to foreign countries, more and more of them are traveling abroad. However, their bad manners have given them a bad reputation (名声).
Chinese always talk loudly in places like cafes and museums. They also spit (吐痰) and litter whenever they want and jump queues. Some Chinese tourists also like to write or draw pictures on famous buildings. In Singapore, Chinese tourists are fined(罚款) because they were smoking in Non-smoking areas.
Some people may say that they can do everything that they want because they spend money in the country. In fact, this is not true. Besides enjoying ourselves, we should respect local customs and take care of the environment.

Four students were invited to an interview by the local English newspaper to share their opinions on after-class activities. The following is what they said in the interview. |
Mary: In our school, after-class activities are very popular. Students in our school enjoy many different kinds of after-class activities, such as the English corner, swimming, playing the piano and singing. I take part in the chess club. I play with other club members after class every day. |
Erin: I'm a member of the music club in our school. I can learn different kinds of music instruments, including the violin, the piano, the guitar and so on. I like playing the piano best. It's very interesting. |
John: I take part in the poem club after class. I have learned a lot from the activities which are held by the club. I can not only improve my skills of poem writing, but also make a lot of new friends who have the same hobbies. |
Peter: Some teachers think after-class activities take up too much time. In their opinions, we are already under great pressure with so much homework to do. But I think it's necessary for schools to provide us with a chance to develop our other skills besides what we are taught in class. What's more, after-class activities help us relax. |

Yes! Mo's short stories are good for students. Students' textbooks should include the most reason not to choose some for the students' textbooks. Since Mo Yan won a Nobel Prize, many Chinese people have been proud of him. His works can affect young people positive(积极地) in literature. So his works should be used. |
| No! Many of Mo's works like Red Sorgham(红高粱) can be better understood by adults. Even though Mo Yan has won a Nobel Prize, his works may not be understood well by middle and high school students.

President Xi Jinping hosted the opening ceremony of the HongKong-Zhuhai-Macao Bridge( HZMB) in Zhuhai, Guangdong Province on October 23rd. The 55-kilometer Y-shaped bridge in the Lingdingyang waters is the world's longest sea-spanning(跨海的) bridge. It connects Hong Kong, Zhuhai, and Macao. It is the result of five years of research and another nine years of building. The main bridge used about 420,000 tons of steel (铁). The total cost of HZMB is about 120 billion yuan.
The bridge can be used for 120 years. The speed limit(限速)is 100 km/h on the main bridge. The travel time from Hong Kong to Zhuhai was about 4 hours by road or about 1 hour by sea in the past, but now it only takes you about 40 minutes. One-way shuttle bus trip costs 58 yuan and the shuttle bus provides 24-hours service. Besides, the bus runs every 5 minutes during rush hour. Passengers can also travel in private cars and taxis. The one-way cost for private cars is 150 yuan.
The bridge is not only a transport connection, but also a social, economic, cultural and tourism connection among the three areas.
