What do you usually do in your spare time? Chatting online is now a nationalpastime in China, especially among the post-90s and post-00s generation. To somepeople, however, online chats can seem like a kind of polite conversation. Yet hiddenrules and standards do exist, as long as you take the time to look for them.

   Get to the Point

   When sending a friend request, include your real name and any other identifyinginformation. Remember, everybody's time is precious. If there's something you want,cut right to the chase. Never send an "Are you there?" without any follow-upmessages. The quicker that you get to the point, the more likely the other personis to reply.

   Send the Right Things

   Please send texts, not voice messages. It might be easier for you to speakthan type, but what about the person on the other end? They may be unable to listento a 59-second message right now. Also, never send personal information by voicemessage—it is hard to note down. Emojis, GIFs and memes can save the daywhen you find yourself in an embarrassing conversation, or words fail you.

   Try to Understand

   You can always judge a person's mood by their text messages. If the personyou're talking to says "Good night" or "I'm going to take a shower."that's probably not what they're actually going to do, it is just an excuse to stoptalking to you. If someone hesitates for longer than three seconds before saying"Yes", they probably really mean "No". If you receive theseemojis from friends who are older, read them literally (照字面地) (as a smile, a waveor a laugh). For the post-90s and post-00s generation, however, they could be speechlessness.

Sally is an American girl. She studies in a{#blank#}1{#/blank#}in Beijing. She enjoys staying here and she likes Chinese food best. 

In fact, most Chinese food in America can be traced back to（追溯到）Guangdong. In the early 20th century, {#blank#}2{#/blank#}of Chinese came to America from Guangdong to look for jobs. They {#blank#}3{#/blank#}in some places like San Francisco. Of course, they brought {#blank#}4{#/blank#}dishes. But later they changed their dishes a lot to meet American tastes. 

When Sally goes home for holidays, her friends often ask her about Chinese food. She always tells them about mutton and carrot dumplings {#blank#}5{#/blank#}they are Sally's favorite food. She learned {#blank#}6{#/blank#} a Chinese friend. Now she would like to {#blank#}7{#/blank#}it with her American friends. First, cut up{#blank#}8{#/blank#}and carrots, and put them in a bowl. Then, add a little oil and salt to them and {#blank#}9{#/blank#} them. When the filling（馅料）is{#blank#}10{#/blank#}, put one spoon of the filling on a dumpling wrapper（饺子皮）and fold it over. Finally, boil（煮）them in a pot for a few minutes. Now you can enjoy some delicious dumplings! 

The dragon is the fifth sign of the Chinese Zodiac (生肖). There are 12 Zodiac in Chinese culture. In fact, the Chinese dragon, also known as long, doesn't exist (存在). But Chinese people have loved it so much for {#blank#}1{#/blank#} of years.

Chinese Dragons play an {#blank#}2{#/blank#} role in Chinese culture. You can always find something about dragons when you are learning {#blank#}3{#/blank#} Chinese culture.

Emperors (皇帝) in ancient China were {#blank#}4{#/blank#} as the sons of dragons. Chinese dragons are the symbols of being lucky, {#blank#}5{#/blank#} and noble. But they are described as monsters in Western stories.

Chinese people believe dragons could control the weather. They live at the {#blank#}6{#/blank#} of seas, rivers, lakes or anywhere with water. In many {#blank#}7{#/blank#}, Chinese people perform a "dragon dance" to please the dragon king and make sure good weather and a good harvest. It was {#blank#}8{#/blank#} that a dragon helped Yandi and Huangdi open the prelude (序幕) to Chinese civilization (文明). So Chinese people call {#blank#}9{#/blank#} "descendants (子孙) of the long".

In the West, dragons also have a long history. What may be surprising, however, is that the dragons {#blank#}10{#/blank#} similar origins (起源). Both Eastern and Western records said dragons are like snakes.

 Do you know the Monkey Buffet(猴子自助餐) Festival? It is on the last Sunday of November. It is a great day for monkeys in Thailand. The festival is 35 years old. To thank monkeys, people have this special festival.

 On that day every year, people put lots of fruit, vegetables, cakes and even drinks on the tables outside. They are all for monkeys. Many people come to see the monkeys on that day.

During the festival, there are a lot of interesting activities about monkeys. Young people always dress(穿着) like monkeys and they play some music on the street.

 Monkeys eat fruit, vegetables and eggs. Monkeys are clever(聪明的). Do you think so?

There are some easy things you can do to protect the environment and the earth. Choose ideas from the list or come up with a few of your own.

Plant flowers, grass or trees.

Whenever you visit a park or beach, take away what you bring there—keep rubbish in a bag until you can put it in a dustbin.

Turn off the lights and TV sets when you leave the room. This can save a lot of electricity.

Turn off the tap when you brush your teeth. You can save some water by not letting it run. Also, use a glass cup instead of a paper cup because this saves paper.

Keep the doors and windows closed in winter to keep warm air in.

Give your old books and magazines to a library instead of throwing them away.

Give your old clothes to poor children you know instead of throwing them away.

Use both sides of paper.

Stop pouring dirty water into the rivers or lakes nearby.

Encourage all your friends to do the same things you do to help protect the earth. You don't have to wait until Earth Day to do these things. Make every day Earth Day. If everyone makes a contribution to protecting the environment, the world will become much more beautiful.
