举一反三
Life for Cathy Taylor's three children is very busy. Their school days are busy enough. After school, though, Cathy takes the two boys from football to basketball. Then she has to take her daughter to piano lessons. The tired children don't get home until 7 pm. They have a quick supper, and it's time for homework.
The Taylors are like many American and British parents. They take their children from activity to activity, and try to fit as much as possible into their kids' lives. Doctors say many children are under too much pressure. Teachers complain(抱怨) about teaching tired kids in the classroom.
Most children take part in after-school clubs. Activities include sports, language learning, music and math classes. Pushy parents are nothing new, but now parents seem to push their children a lot more. Parents see other children doing a lot of things, and they feel their own children should do the same.
Linda Miller, a mother of three in London, knows all about such pressure. “In some families, competition starts from a very young age,” she says. “Mothers send their kids to all kinds of classes when they are very young. And they are always comparing them with other children. It's crazy. People shouldn't push their kids so hard.
Dr Alice Green agrees. She also says that these children may find it hard to think for themselves when they are older. “Parents are trying to plan their kids' lives for them. When these kids are adults, they might find it difficult to plan things for themselves.” Parents should learn to give their kids a bit more time to themselves. On one hand, children need organized activities. On the other hand, they also need time and freedom to relax, and they need time to do things by themselves.

Emma was dreaming. In her dream, she was sitting on a train. A boy next to her asked her, "Excuse me, do you know {#blank#}1{#/blank#}the train will get to London?"Emma didn't have a watch so she didn't know how she {#blank#}2{#/blank#}(can) answer his question. She was about to ask her sister Annie when she heard someone waking her up. It was Annie.

"It's too late, Emma! Get up!" Then Emma had to get up.

Annie liked making plans. At the breakfast table, she asked Emma to write down what she {#blank#}3{#/blank#}(have to) do today. "The mouse problem is serious. Could you tell me {#blank#}4{#/blank#}You'll deal with(处理) it today?"

"Yes! Mousetraps(老鼠夹) can kill mice. So after breakfast I'll go and buy one,"answered Emma.

"Write it down," said Annie.

Emma took her pencil out of her pencil case, but she stopped. She forgot {#blank#}5{#/blank#}she could spell the word"mousetrap". She was sure that Annie would laugh at her. She wanted to know {#blank#}6{#/blank#}she put her dictionary last night.

"On the sofa? No,"Emma said to herself."In the bookcase?"

Annie was a little impatient. She asked Emma {#blank#}7{#/blank#}she didn't write down the word quickly.

Emma didn't hear {#blank#}8{#/blank#}Annie said. She couldn't stop yawning(打哈欠). From far away she could hear the boy say, "Your dictionary is next to your pillow (枕头)."Hearing that, Emma smiled.

Twelve teachers and students from the University of Verona in Italy recently went to Liangnong town, Yuyao city, Zhejiang province, to do research and learn about traditional Chinese culture.

The group went to Liangnong's Intangible Cultural Heritage(非物质文化遗产) Exhibition Hall, where they learned about Yuyao's unique cultural heritage and the local ways of life and traditions.

With the help of a skilled baker, they also learned how to make Liangnong Rice Cake, a traditional local food. People in the area eat this cake during special events like the Lunar New Year, weddings, housewarming parties, and birthdays. It'a symbol of the hope for a good life.

" First, we pour the mixed rice flour into the rice cake mold(模具). Then use tools to make square holes. Next, put sweet fillings into the holes," The skilled baker carefully showed the steps of making Liangnong Rice Cake while telling the Italian teachers and students about its history and culture. The finishing touch, which the students found most interesting, was to print Chinese characters on the cake with a special tool.

"Today's experience was fantastic. We learned how to make Liangnong Rice Cake, and I really enjoyed it. This is my first time in China, and I hope to come to China more in the future," said Giordano Giada, an Italian student.

Barbara Bisetto, the head of the Chinese Department at the University of Verona and an expert on Chinese culture, said in fluent Chinese, " China has a long history and a rich and beautiful culture. This time, I also learned about Chinese manners, customs, and traditions. So for me, as someone who studies Chinese culture, it is a very special experience."

This summer camp is a project between Ningbo University and the University of Verona. By inviting Italian students to visit Liangnong, the university wants to present local culture to a bigger world and support rural revitalization(乡村振兴) with cultural strength.
