We use emojis in our talks all the time. Do you know about their meanings? Let's have a look.

    But some emojis may have different meanings in China. Here are two examples.

    It looks friendly to us, but it can be someone laughing at you.

    People sometimes use this emoji to show that they don't want to talk to you anymore.

    People all over the world can understand the emojis, but in different countries they may have more meanings, we should be careful about how we use them.

    AAAGH! The Generation 90s is coming! Wearing earphones, using complex Net language and constantly text messaging friends, the Gen-90s following the Gen-80s begin to make their world debut (初次登台).

    Each generation or age group has its own symbols and lifestyle. Read on and judge for yourselves if you fit the Gen-90s group.

Earphones—These little devices seem to grow on the heads of the Gen-90s. They might lead to MP3, MP4 or MP101 players, giving these young people a plugged-in, cool and perhaps self-addicted look, of course, life is not always music to the ears.

Martian language—They have created their own code-like online language. It's a mixture of English, Japanese and Chinese that perhaps only Martians can understand. This is an imaginative generation, though they need to be careful to keep it out of their term papers.

Self-Portrait— Saying "cheese" to their own digital cameras is usual for this generation. A little bit of narcissism (自恋) never hurts anyone. It helps them reflect a little on their own lives．But be aware of the risks of posting private photos online.

Text-messaging —They can type their mobile phones as fast as they can speak. This is a generation that respects efficiency. However, oral communication is important and will never go out of style.

①Researchers have used high technology to learn about a famous painting by the Dutch painter Johannes Vermeer. The painting is called Girl with a Pearl Earring. Vermeer was considered as one of the greatest art masters during the Dutch golden age of painting in the 1600s. 

②The researchers' tests have found out important information about how Vermeer did the painting. He began making the work with brown and black paints on a piece of cloth. Then he drew the girl's outline(轮廓) in black before working from the green background to the foreground. 

③A careful examination even showed where some of the paints came from. The white came from the Peak District in England. The blue was made from a valuable stone found in Afghanistan. The red was made from insects living in Mexico and South America. 

④Abbie Vandivere was the leader of the research project. She expressed surprise that Vermeer used so much blue in the painting, saying, " The blue paint was more valuable than gold in the seventeenth century. " Vermeer, however, did not travel around the world to get the paints. He most probably bought them in his home town of Delft. 

⑤The research findings not only show information about Vermeer's paints, but also tell us about Dutch and world trade in the seventeenth century, Sadly the researchers failed to find out whether the girl ever existed(存在). 

Being fit is a way of saying a person eats well, does a lot of exercise, and has a healthy body If you're fit, you body works well and can do all the things you want it to do. What can you do if you want to be fit? Here are three rules. 

Eat various foods,especially fruits and vegetables.

You may have a favorite food, but you'd better eat various foods. If you eat different foods, you're more likely to get the nutrients(营养物质) your body needs. Eat at least two servings(份)of fruits and three servings of vegetables every day. 

Listen to your body.

What does it feel like to be full? When you're eating, pay attention(注意) to how your body feels. Sometimes, people eat too much. Eating too much can make you feel uncomfortable and can lead to unhealthy weight again. 

Have less screen time

What's screen time? It's time you spend watching TV or using the computer. The more time you spend on these sitting-down activities, the less time you got for sports, like playing basketball and swimming. Try to spend no more than two hours a day on watching TV or using the computer. 

Parents can be a big help if you want to be a fit kid. Tell your parents about the rules you want to follow and maybe they can teach you a thing or two.
