This spring，the most eye—catching movie might be YOLO（《热辣滚烫》）. By March 18，it had made around 3. 5 billion yuan at the box office，reported Paper. 

Directed by 41-year-old Jia Ling，the movie tells the story of a woman tired of the world，finding herself and learning to love life through boxing（拳击）. The name of YOLO is short for the movie's main idea—you only live once. 

Jia Ling has tried many different roles in her life，including crosstalk（相声） and sketch（小品） performer，variety show（综艺节目） guest and actress. The movie Hi，Mom 2019（《你好，李焕英》） is the first one Jia directed in her life. 

Jia didn't study directing at university. It makes her feel freer in film making because she doesn't need to follow a fixed style. To everyone's surprise，Hi，Mom 2019 made her the world's highest—grossing（票房最高的） woman director before 2023. 

Before making YOLO，Jia was often seen as an overweight comedian（喜剧演员）. She often made jokes about herself to make people laugh. For this movie，Jia lost more than 50 kg which made it hard to imagine that this is the same Jia we once knew. Some people online said even her voice became softer，and they called this a"rebirth"for Jia. She has proved through her actions that if you want to be successful，you need to try your best. 

In Jia's eyes，her change in identity（身份） and look is her way of saying true to herself. "It's hard to predict one's life. I'm just following my heart but not looking for changes in purpose. Movies are now the best way to show myself，so I put all my energy into them. "Jia told Xinhua. 

"In fact，Jia didn't change. She's just being more herself. She shows us through her actions. "said talk show host Chen Luyu. 

I have invented robots which improve the work of cars. My love of making things began when I was a kid. I really became 1 about inventing after I learned about Thomas Edison.

In Grade Four, we 2 a project by our teacher in class. We had to write to a company and learn about the products. I chose the Thomas A. Edison Company. Soon after,3 company sent me a book about the life of Thomas Edison. 4 excited I was!I enjoyed reading and re- reading about his inventions. I like the recorded sound and the electric light best.

My dad 5 my interest in inventing and encouraged me. He showed me 6 I could turn my ideas into plans and then into new things. Once, I surprised 7 witha model plane I made. Later, we found a similar model plane 8 a store. I learned that different 9 often invent similar things. I also learned that not all great ideas work. Failure is a common part of the inventing.

My dad is always looking for a better way 10 a simple job. His guiding hands, together with my interest in inventing has led me to become an engineer and inventor. Of course, I also thank Thomas Edison. He is my hero.

Hello, boys and girls! My name is Tim. These are four photos of my friends.

Kimberly always enjoyed singing. She began.1 music when she was in middle school. To practise, she didn't take the English classes many.2 . "How poor your English grades are! You do have to come back to the class as3 as possible," the English teacher said.

One day, Kimberly wrote some lyrics(歌词)and she wanted to be a singer. But her music teacher4 her to improve her writing first, because it was basic for writing lyrics. From then on, Kimberly tried to think about some good ideas and 5 in English. Later, she found that it was good for her English6 and writing. Slowly, she corrected many.7 in vocabulary and grammar.

Later, Kimberly wrote an English story and8 it to her teacher. It was 9 , and the teacher saw her hard work. "Music means a lot in my life, and I believe my English will become wonderful because of10 ," she said. Her love for music pushed her to get over many difficulties.
