Marianne Carus, who started Cricker (蟋蟀) magazine in1973 and served as Editor-in-Chief (总主编) until 2012, died on March 3 at the age of 92 this year.

Marianne believed that "only the best of the best is good enough for the young. "In Cicket, children would find wonderful stories with beautiful art, and be encouraged by ideas in the humanities and sciences. Marianne looked for stories from around the world to awaken admiration for different peoples and cultures. Most important, Cricker would never talk down to children.

Marianne knew that children were filled with fun, and she wanted Cricket to be, too — "humor from the heart that makes you laugh out loud. "And so. she named her literary magazines after a funny group of bugs (虫子) , such as Lady bung and Spider.

Over the years. Cricket has been read by millions of children and given many writers and artists their start Marianne kept a special box of "love letters" to the magazine. She treasured these letters from Cricket readers, including long-ago readers. They told her that their interest in reading had begun with Cricket.

  ▲  She considered other names, such as Troubadour or Taliesin, the singers and storytellers of old who traveled from one place to another to share their songs and stories. Then. one night, she was reading Isaac Bashevi Singer's memoir (回忆录) A Day of Pleasure. about his childhood in Warsaw. In it he wrote∶There was a stove in Shosha's apartment behind which there lived a cricket. It chirped the nights through all winter long I imagined the cricket was telling a story that would never end. "That's exactly what Marianne wanted her children's magazine to do—to tell stories that would never end! So the name Cricker became her best choice.

Thank you for everything, Marianne. May the stories, and the laughter, never end!

A father noticed his son crying silently. He asked him, "What's wrong, son? "

The boy answered, "My classmates 1 at me, calling me son of a poor gardener. "

The father said, "Come with me, son, and let's plant some2 , it might cheer you up. "They walked to the garden, then the father took out some flower seeds(种子)and said, "Let's carry out an experiment. We will 3 two flowers separately. I will care for one and you'll care for the other. I will water mine with clean water, but you will water yours with 4 water. We shall see the results in the weeks to come. "

The four great inventions of ancient China are China's outstanding contributions to the whole world, and have had a great impact on world's scientific and cultural exchanges.

Paper-making

During the Eastern Han Dynasty around 104 A.D., a eunuch (太监) of the Imperial Court named Cai Lun invented a new type of paper. It was said that he used bark (树皮), rags (破布) and broken fishing nets as materials to make plant fiber paper suitable for writing. In 105 A.D., he presented this invention to He Di, the emperor at that time, according to Chinese history.

Printing

In the Song Dynasty, Bi Sheng (A.D.1004﹣1048), used clay to make rectangle cubes (长方体), carved a single Chinese character on each of them, and burnt them with fire. Then according to the article content, he arranged the words, put them in an iron frame (框架) to print.The printing skill is named the movable-type printing.

Compass

The working people of ancient China invented the compass in their long-term labor practice.They found the characteristic of magnet (磁铁) showing the direction. The earliest compass, Sinan, firstly appeared in the Warring States Period.

Gunpowder

The invention of gunpowder began with ancient alchemy (炼丹术) in the Sui Dynasty and Tang Dynasty. In order to refine pills for immortality (永生), alchemists constantly update the methods of alchemy, which finally led to the invention of gunpowder. In Tang Dynasty, the gunpowder began to be applied (应用) to the military affairs (军事).

Since the beginning of this term, primary and junior high schools in Shenzhen have carried out a new measure(措施) to make sure that students have daily PE classes. Shenzhen is the first city in the country to require schools to provide daily PE classes for students at the compulsory(义务的) education level.

Buxin Primary School in Luohu District uses a"3+1+1" model, which includes three regular PE classes, one music- based exercise class, and one sports game class. As a result of the new measure, the number of PE classes at the school has risen to 200.

The number of PE teachers isn't enough for all the new classes, so the school has to ask teachers of other subject s to give some of the PE classes. Liu Xunhua, a Chinese teacher at the school, has taken on the role of a part- time PE teacher." Everything is for the students' health, and we support the new measure," Liu said.

Yuan Yinuo, a sixth grader from the school, believes sports activities help reduce stress,   especially considering the pressure graduating students are under. However, some parents are concerned about the reduced learning time of other subjects though they agree on the importance of daily PE classes.A physics teacher who has been working in Shenzhen for over 20 years has the same worry. He made a comment online," Adding daily PE classes is a good thing, but it's hard for me to complete normal teaching tasks because some of my classes have been replaced by PE classes."

In a reply, the city's education authority (官 方 ; 当 局) said schools can independently decide the number of weekly class hours and the time of each class for each subject, and that schools can also reasonably arrange(安排) the courses of each subject.

 Another little boy, Harry, had something wrong with his4 . He always wished that he could walk and run like other little boys and girls.

 One5 Charles ran away from the orphanage. He came by a park and saw the little crippled(跛脚的) boy playing in the sand. He ran towards Harry and asked him if he wanted to fly like a bird.

"No," said Harry. "But I have wondered6 it would be like to walk and run like others."

"That is very sad." said Charles. "Do you think we can be 7 ?" he asked.

"Sure." said Harry8 .

 The two little boys played for hours. They made 9 castles(城堡) and had fun. Then Harry's father came with a wheelchair to 10 his son to have dinner. Charles ran over to the boy's father and whispered(小声说) into his ear.

"That will be OK," said the man.

 Then Charles spoke to his new friend, "You are my only friend and I wish there was11 I could do to make you walk and run like others.12 there isn't. I hope this can make you happy."

 Charles13 and told his new friend to sit on his back. He then began to run across the grass. Faster and faster he ran, carrying the little crippled boy on his 14 .

 Harry's father was moved to15 as he watched his beautiful little crippled son flapping(拍打) his arms up and down in the wind, shouting at the top of his voice,

"I'M FLYING,DADDY!"
