What to do if you don't feel popular？
●Try to take part in activities. Call your friends. Plan to do something. The worst feeling is staying home alone, because it makes you feel even more lonely.
●Try to make new friends. Choose friends carefully, not just because you think they're popular. And remember, making good friends takes time. Choosing a popular person to be friends with is okay. If they are nice.
●Be yourself. If you want to become friends with someone who's popular, don't make yourself into someone you are not just to impress that person.
●Be nice. Be friendly. Be outgoing. But don't overdo it！Talk to trusted friends if you are feeling really bad. Or you might want to write it down in a diary.
●Do something special for yourself. You could take pictures of your friends, or collect their school pictures, and take a collage（拼贴画）to hang on your wall. This will remind you, when you are feeling unpopular, that you really do have friends.
●Think up your own ideas. These suggestions might not work for everyone.
What to do if you have a problem with your teacher？
●Talk to your parents, or another adult who will listen to you and perhaps can help. Talk to your friends. Maybe they have had problems with the same teacher, too.
●Don't give the teacher a reason to have problems with you. Do your work, complete your task, attend the class seriously and take notes. Maybe you just need to give the teacher a chance.
●Try to find out what the problem is.
●Talk to the teacher if you feel comfortable doing this. Don't be nasty（闹别扭的）, but express your concerns（关心）. Listen to the teacher, as well.

Can you understand the following words?
“Long time no see.”
“Good good study, day day up.”
“I like your smile, but unlike you put your shoes on my face.”
Yes, we call these examples Chinglish, like “people mountain, people sea”.
Chinglish usually means English vocabulary with Chinese grammar on street signs or products. However, many English speaking tourists love them. Tom has been living in Beijing for years. “I think many Chinese people dislike Chinglish. But I love it. It’s quite interesting. I think if the translations of English in China are all perfect, something will be lost from Chinese culture.” However, Chinglish will probably become a part of history in future. Beijing has made a plan to correct Chinglish within five years. “It is so funny to see Chinglish on the signs. And they are a kind of trouble for communication between the Chinese and foreigners,” a Beijinger said.
However, some people in China like Chinglish. They think that English has “borrowed” a lot from other languages such as German, French and Spanish in the past, and now as Chinese’s turn. What is Chinglish according to the passage?
| A．The English words easy to pronounce. |
| B．The Chinese words difficult to translate. |
| C．The English words with Chinese grammar. |
| D．The Chinese words that foreigners love. |

Astronauts on board the Shenzhou-10 spacecraft have taught a lesson from space to schoolchildren through a live video. The astronauts made some experiments in the lab Tiangong-1. They showed a lot of physical(物理的) phenomenon（现象） in a zero-gravity（失重的） environment.
Greetings from space have opened a new history in China.
Wang Yaping, Shenzhou-10 Astronaut, said, "Hello, everyone. I am Wang Yaping. I will host the lecture today.” It is the country’s very first space lecture. And all eyes were on the female space teacher Wang Yaping and her two other partners.
The first part of the class was all about weight. This floating（漂浮的） pose looked like a pose from a Chinese Kongfu movie. Audiences were amazed by it.
Wang Yaping later did some other experiments to show what happens in zero gravity. She also did an experiment of what water is like on space.
In Beijing, about 330 students attended the class and ask questions of the astronauts from video calls.
Song Xinke said, "It’s very interesting. The experiment that impressed me a lot is the water balloon. The phenomenon is very beautiful. We have not learned enough knowledge to understand it. So I want to learn more after the class."
Liu Yuezhang said, "I feel very excited about this class. I have lots of questions and the astronauts are answering our questions. They teach us a lot of knowledge."
China’s very first lesson from space was a new chapter（篇章） in history. The experiment is sure to be a great encouragement for the young toexplore the unknown. And get a greater understanding of the universe.

The food tastes good and warm, and a family meal brings everyone together. In some families, meals are often the only times everyone sees one another at the same time.
Another reason people enjoy home cooking is that it is often a way of showing love. A parent who makes some cookies is not just satisfying a child’s sweet tooth. She or he is sending a message. The message says, “ I care about you enough to send an hour making cookies that you will eat up in 15 minutes if I let you.”
There is also something about the smell of home cooking. The smell of home cooking please people of all ages.
