TFBOYS is a young singing group of China. There are three members in it. Wang Junkai, 16, and Wang Yuan, 15, are from Chongqing, and Yi Yangqianxi, 15, is from Hunan. They are all good at singing and dancing.
During the weekdays, the three boys go to school and study like other kids. But during the weekends, they have to practice singing and dancing. It is not easy, but the three boys do it well. What’s more, they are all top students at school.
“We try our best to put study before everything,” said Wang Junkai. He just entered Chongqing No. 8 High School. It is a key (重点的) school.
Yi is also a very good student. He has a busy life. Besides training, he also acts in movies and TV shows. But he still did very well in calligraphy (书法) competitions. How can he be good at so many things? “I always practice dancing while others are playing,” he said.
Many people say that TFBOYS becomes popular only because of their cute looks. But I don’t think so. They always work hard for their music dreams. That’s why so many people like them.

Welcome to England! The weather of England is very changeable.
It can be rainy, sunny, windy, warm, foggy or cold at any time of year. If it’s raining when you get up in the morning, it can be hot and dry by the afternoon. The west of England is wetter than the east, and the north is cooler than the south. Just be ready for any kind of weather.
In England, shops are usually open from 9:00 am to 5:30 pm. On Sundays, some shops are open from 10:00 am to 4:00 pm. But a lot of shops are closed. Banks, museums of other places are open from 10:00 am to 5:00 pm. You can go to the parks at anytime.
All the cities have buses, trains and taxis. People wait in line for buses and they are unhappy if you push in at the front. Don’t forget this---traffic goes on the left.
Be careful!

Who wants to carry a bulky bag to school? No children. Nobody wants one shoulder to be lower than the other, and paining(疼痛) too. In India, most of us would look at the reduction(减少) of textbooks as a way out. But in a country like America, there are always more choices. A company called Goreader has created a “school bag” which is the size of a laptop computer, weighing about 2.5kg. The Goreader has a colour screen and can “hold” all the textbooks that a student may need, says a report in “The Asian Age” newspaper.
The company plans to work closely with the publishers of test books so that these books can be supplied on the Internet. All the students will have to download their textbooks. Making notes and marking important parts of a lesson can be done just as lots of students have done on their textbooks before.
At present, the plan is being tested out in a university. Richard Katzmann, the owner of the company is having his creation tested at Chicago’s DePaul University, where he studied. Does that mean it is goodbye to the newspaper, and the smell of the black ink?What does the underlined word “bulky” in the first line mean?
| A．light | B．small | C．big and heavy | D．old |
