Dmitry Doronin，a doctoral student from Russia，is keen （热衷的）to share his experience in rural villages in Zhejiang with his 1.4 million followers online.
Since Dmitry started to live in the countryside last August，the 32 ﹣year﹣old has created hundreds of video clips that record the relaxing lifestyle in Hengzhang village，Lishui city."The rice is grown in the fields together with fish，which helps to increase local agricultural （农业的）products，" said Dmitry，while introducing products from Hengzhang village on the popular Chinese short﹣videos platform Douyin，Besides filming videos，Dmitry also enjoys working with farmers in the fields，doing activities such as planting vegetables and feeding chickens.
Living in a village provides him with uniqueexperiences，he says，quite different from busy life in big cities，such as Shanghai，where he studies.And he has been a pleasant surprise to the villagers as well.Villager Bao Mingyue，76，says，"To our surprise，the young Russian not only knows how to cook Chinese food but is interested in working in the fields."
Because of the outbreak of COVID﹣19，the sales of local agricultural products had dropped rapidly，so Dmitry volunteered to help sell the products in his videos.In a few months，10，000 kilograms of oranges，4，000 kilograms of dried sweet potatoes and 300 kilograms of honey had been sold.
"Thanks to his videos，it seems that more tourists have come to visit our village，"says 72﹣year﹣ old Pan Xianyu，who is very pleased to see the great changes in her hometown，Dmitry loves his country life，"In the countryside，you can immerse （沉浸）yourself in the traditional way of life and understand this country better，" he says.

It's been 100 years since the actor and filmmaker Charlie Chaplin produced the film The Kid ，which many consider to be his greatest one.
Like all films at the time，The Kid was made in black and white and was silent （made without any sound，not even the characters talking）.The story is about the relationship between " the Tramp"，played by Chaplin，and his adopted （领养的）child，played by Jackie Coogan.The pair develop a partnership where the six year﹣old boy breaks windows and runs away，so that Chaplin's character can offer his services as a window fixer.
Although the film is a comedy，it also has some tragedy，reflecting Chaplin's own life.He started testing actors for the role of the Kid just a few days after his baby son had died.Chaplin was known for being hard to please，and it is said that if he could，he would have played every role in every one of his films.When Chaplin visited a theatre，a dancer brought his son，Jackie Coogan，on stage，and Chaplin knew he had his co﹣star （联袂主演者）.Chaplin later wrote， "All children in some form have talents；the trick is to bring it out in them.With Jackie it was easy.
Like the Kid in the film，Chaplin and his brother Sydney grew up very poor.They lived in London and were raised by their mother.When Chaplin was 10 years old，his mum became too ill to loo after her sons，so they had to take care of themselves.He later wrote that the film sets in The Kid were based （基于）on the places where he and Sydney had lived with their mother as children. "Perhaps that's why the film had some truth，" he said.

There are about 1.5 million kinds of living things on Earth，but how many do you see every day？You often see the big colourful animals，like birds，rabbits，and fish.But look more closely.Can you see the small ones，too？Insects（昆虫）make up 80 percent of all the world's living kinds.Look on the ground.Imagine you could look under the ground，too.Many small living things with one cell live there.Life is everywhere around us，in every cubic foot （a foot＝ 12 inches）.
David Littschwager is a photographer who wanted to find out how many living things lived in one cubic foot .So he made a 12﹣inch cube with a green metal frame.And then he put it in five habitats（栖息地）.He chose a tropical rainforest（Costa Rica），a coral reef（Pacific Ocean），the Table Mountain（South Africa），a freshwater river（USA），and a small park（New York）.Three weeks were spent at each place.He watched，counted，and took photos of everything down to I millimeter in size-that crawled（爬）or flew into the cube.
The results were amazing.Liittschwager found both common and rare living things.He discovered many new living kinds，like a strange transparent octopus that is the size of a fingernail!In total，more than a thousand living things were photographed.Liittchwager said the One Cubic Foot experience was like "finding treasure".David Liittschwager also found that the highest biodiversity（生物多样性）in the reef was in the skeleton coral（珊瑚遗骨）.These skeleton coral are suitable for sea living things of all sizes to grow.Although the coral reef had the widest range of biodiversity，all the other habitats were full of life.Even the city park!

Did you have cereal（麦片）for breakfast this morning？If you did，you're not alone.Lots of people eat cereal for breakfast every day.In fact，cereal is popular all over the world.It all started with one man，Will Keith Kellogg.
Will was born on April 7，1860，in Battle Creek，Michigan.His first job was as a stock boy at the Battle Creek Sanitarium.A sanitarium is a special kind of place that is a little like a hospital.A sanitarium is meant for people who are ill for a long time or who are getting over a serious illness.Will had other jobs as he got older.But when he grew up，he became a manager of the sanitarium.His brother，John，was the chief doctor there.
One big problem at the sanitarium was the patients' diets.The patients needed healthy diets，but it was also important for the food to taste good.Will was trying to find a good food choice to take the place of the bread，but it wasn't going very well.Then，by accident Will found something even better.He left some wheat to cook too long.When it was rolled out，it formed large，thin flakes.He asked his brother to serve it to the patients，and they loved it!In fact，they liked it so much that they wanted breakfast flakes sent to them even after they left the sanitarium.So Will started a new business in 1884：selling packaged breakfast flakes.Before long，Kellogg's breakfast cereal was popular in other countries，too.Today，there are many kinds of breakfast cereals.But it all started with one man and one idea.
Will did more than just create breakfast flakes.His company made a lot of money.But he always shared it with others generously.He used much of his money to help children.He also used his money to help in several other charities（慈善机构）.Will Kdllogg died in 1951.But his most famous invention is as popular as ever.
