The chance arrived at last. Two years ago, New Zealand’s government announced its plan to offer 1,000 working holiday visas to Chinese residents 居民 a year. As soon as Liu knew the announcement, he applied at once. He got the visa to New Zealand successfully.
Liu arrived in New Zealand in December last year. Her was impressed by the Summer Christmas. Liu said, “Many fruits are ready to harvest, so it’s easy to find a job in the orchards果园before getting there. New Zealand is an agricultural country. Working in rural areas helps you understand the country better.”
For Liu Encheng, the most important thing is to live independently独立地. He needed to balance work and travel.

Last term, I took a pottery (陶艺) class at the local art center. One day, when I started rolling the clay (黏土) into a long snake, as my teacher told me, the boy next to me was still hitting his clay loudly. I said, “Hey, our teacher asks us to make a snake now.” He paid no attention and continued. Worried he wouldn’t have time to make his snake, I rolled out an extra (额外的) one. “Here,” I said. “You can have this if you like.”

“Do you always tell everyone what to do?” he shouted.

What did I do to make him angry at me?

The next class, I found a different seat. But the boy was surprisingly quiet during class. Walking past him, I noticed him making a cool box. He saw me looking at him and glared. “Are you planning to tell me how to do this, too?” I felt my face get hot and I almost thought I would cry.

When I arrived at the art center for the next class, I happened to hear the talk between that boy and his mother. It turned out his father was leaving them and his mother just wanted him to stay with his grandma for a while.

It seemed everyone was to tell him what to do! No wonder he didn’t want me to tell him what to do!

We don’t always know what’s going on in other people’s lives or why they act in their ways. We should give them some space, and give us space too if the ways they’re acting are hurting us. But remember to stay kind. There’s a good chance their unfriendliness is not about us at all.

A community cleanup brings volunteers（志愿者）together to clean, repair, and improve public spaces or other areas that have been filled with rubbish or destroyed（破坏）. Cleanup projects can include all kinds of public spaces—parks, playground, and even parking lots.

Cleanups show that people care about its appearance. Crime（犯罪）is less likely to happen when a neighborhood is clean, and used by neighbors and their friends. By cleaning a used park or playground, more people would like to play there and protect them, which makes the community safer.

◎A cleanup can be a one-time event（事件）. The activity can also continue by moving the cleanup from one place to another—for example, from the school playground to a neighborhood park.

※Sharing the work—letting people do different jobs that interest them makes each new cleanup a fresh chance for volunteers.

Make sure your community cleanup goals（目标）are realistic. It’s a good idea to start with a project that can be finished in one afternoon and then turn to larger projects.

Whether your cleanup project is a one-time event or a year-long task, don’t forget to celebrate the results. Take photos and videos, then post them on the Internet and write thank-you letters to those who helped. Making a meal at the end can make volunteers look forward to working together again.

We all know doing exercise makes us healthy. But many of us don’t know which is better, to exercise in the day or at night. Dr. Yang, a famous sleep doctor, advises people to do outdoor exercise for at least 30 minutes a day in the daytime.

Dr. Yang has been doing research on sports and sleep for years. He finds out that those who exercise in natural light for half an hour every day have better sleep and more energy(能量). Dr. Yang himself gets up at 6:30 a.m. Then he usually takes a walk outside. Sometimes, he walks his two dogs in the park in the afternoon with his sunglasses left at home.

Many schools put Dr. Yang’s findings into practice. They made it a rule that students should do outdoor exercise once or twice a day. In some schools, students even formed outdoor running clubs. After some time, most students said they benefited(受益) a lot from outdoor exercise. Now they sleep better and concentrate(集中) more than their studies.

Some students are now thinking about inviting their teachers to join them in their daily runs.

Jerry is a world-famous mountain climber. He has climbed many high mountains in the world. Starting in 2015, he and his friends spent two years on an adventure（探险）in South America, covering 7,800 miles. He was even named Adventure of the Year by a famous geography magazine in 2018.

Although Jerry had achieved great success, he didn’t feelfulfilled. He asked himself, “Is it enough to climb the highest mountains? Am I doing something helpful? How can I turn my adventures into something that can help the world?”

Jerry learned that scientists need plants, rocks and water samples（样本）from the places far away to do research. But scientists can’t get there themselves as such places are hard to reach——only the bravest adventurers can make it. Jerry thought himself could do something to help. He then came up with an idea. He set up a team of top adventures to collect samples for scientists. By studying the samples, scientists could know more about the earth and find ways to protect it.

Recently Jerry and his adventurer friends have discovered a special plant life of Mountain Qomolangma. The samples they brought back have helped scientists how plants live in extreme（极端的）conditions.

For Jerry, this kind of adventure is most satisfying. “Such adventures had made us see life in a different way. Now, being the best climber isn’t important for me, what matters is doing something helpful while climbing the mountains. There is still much more we can do.” Jerry said to a newspaper.
