Happy Rain on a Spring Night Good rain knows its time right； O'er wild lanes dark cloud spreads； It will fall when comes spring． In boat a lantern looms． With wind it steals in night； Dawn sees saturated reds； Mute， it moistens each thing． The town's heavy with blooms． ﹣﹣﹣Translated by Xu Yuanchong Du Fu |
This famous poem， with four couplets， was written by Du Fu（712﹣770， Tang Dynasty）when he was living and farming in Chengdu． His farming experience taught him to be thankful to nature．
The very first word， "good"， shows the poet's joy and love for the spring rain． The rain is good because it "knows" the proper time to come． Here the poet uses personification， as if the rain were smart enough to come in time for the farmer's busy season．
When the rain comes， it appears during the night without making any noise． Unlike the summer storms， the spring rain finishes its task without being known．
In the third couplet， the poet describes a peaceful scene to us． In the night sky， the clouds look dark and heavy． It's a sign that there will be enough rain during the night． The light from the riverboat makes the dark scene a bit livelier．
Lastly， the poet starts to imagine． Tomorrow morning， he thinks， the city of Chengdu will become beautiful when all of the flowers bloom（盛开）after the rain．

Following the rule of "social distancing" is probably well﹣known to us all now． It refers to staying away from crowded places to prevent the spread of COVID﹣19． Some companies are taking advantage of this by changing their logos．
Coca﹣Cola， for example， placed the letters of its famous brand further away from each other to show social distancing． The encouraging sentence "Today， being apart is the best way of being together．"is printed below the logo． McDonald's Brazil has separated its famous arches（拱门）in a picture posted on its Facebook page． Other global companies， including Audi and Nike， have also posted similar logo changes online．

An Interview with Andy Griffiths
Andy Griffiths is well known as a writer of children's books. Here are some interesting things you might not know about him.
What do you like to do after a long day of writing？
I go for long runs and bike rides beside the beach. An hour of exercise after a long day of writing gives me energy. Then I'm ready to write some more.
Do you write using a computer or by hand？
At first I write the stories by hand， and then I transfer（转录） them onto a computer. I like to write by hand when I travel. I find it very easy to lose myself in my diary when I am away from my usual activities.
What super power would you like to have？
X﹣ray vision（影像） if I can control it.
What is your favorite food？
I'm never happier than when I'm drinking banana milkshakes. And I love fish. But I don't like drinking fish milkshakes. Theyare just terrible!
What is your favorite book？
Alice in Wonderland. It has so many surprises and such silliness in it.
Do you write for adults too？
Only if I really have to. I much prefer the freedom and fun of writing for children.
What do you say to kids who say， "Why should I read？"
As Dr. Seuss says， "The more you read， the more things you will know. The more you learn，the more places you'll go."

It's easy to tell someone good news， but what about bad news？ Are there any good ways to give bad news without making people too upset？（1）
●Say something good
Try to start the conversation with something good so that what you say is not all bad. For example，"I know you play soccer very well， but we only need one teammate." Or you may end the conversation with a promise."（2） ."
●（3）
Use words to introduce what you' re going to say， like "I'm really sorry， but." or "I'm afraid I've got some bad news." This gives the listener time to prepare for what you will say.
●Try to give a reason
（4） Try to explain the decision： if you have to cancel a trip with friends， can you explain why？
●Use a soft friendly voice
If you're giving someone bad news， try to use a soft friendly voice to make you sound kind.（5） like "I'm really sorry. I know this must be disappointing."
