Have your mom or grandma ever made embroidered （刺绣的） clothes for you? People in the past often embroidered on handkerchiefs（手帕）, bed covers and dresses. Girls would embroider on a sachet （香囊）as a gift for their lovers.

Shu embroidery comes from Sichuan. It is the oldest kind of embroidery in China. People began to make it during the Han Dynasty (206 BC-220 AD). They sold it to other countries along the South Silk Road.

Embroidery takes time. It might take as long as a whole day to finish just 10 cm. By the 1970s, Sichuan had as many as 5, 000 embroiderers. But since modern machines can make cheaper embroidery products today, fewer people are buying handmade Shu embroider products. Young people aren't learning the skill. To protect this skill, Shu embroidery was added to China's intangible cultural heritage （非物质文化遗产） list in 2006.

Meng Dezhi, a national-level inheritor（国家级传承人）of the skill, has been making Shu embroidery for 40 years. After her factory closed down in 2005, she didn't give up loving this form of art. So she decided to teach others to make Shu embroidery. The work is hard and the pay is low. Not many people want to learn it. But Meng wants to change that. She now teaches it in universities and communities.

Shu embroidery stands for（代表）thousands of years of Sichuan culture. We should try to save it.

76. Where does Shu embroidery come from?

77. How many embroiderers did Sichuan have by the 1970s?

78. Are many people buying handmade Shu embroidery products today?

79. How long has Meng Dezhi been making Shu embroidery?

80. What does Shu embroidery stand for?

There are about 1. 4 billion （十亿）people in China. WeChat is part of life for many Chinese. We use it to chat, send photos, pay for things, etc. It is playing a bigger role. But do you know who invented WeChat? The man behind it is Zhang Xiaolong. He is the vice president（副总裁） of Tencent and is called "Father of WeChat".

Zhang Xiaolong was born in Shaoyang, Hunan Province in 1969.

He graduated from Huazhong University of Science and Technology in 1994. While at university he had many hobbies, such as chess, tennis and bowling. His classmates said whatever he did, he could get quite good atit after trying hard for several years. He liked to sleep late, but that didn't mean he was lazy. He would keep working hard on something for many hours till midnight

Such a clever and hard-working man would surely succeed. In 1997, he created Foxmail and achieved success. He created WeChat in 2011, and it became a bigger success. It is so easy to use. _______. Because of it, Zhang has become rich and successful, but he always keeps a low profile（低调）. Few people know about him. He only lets his work speak for him. You may have a good understanding of him by using WeChat.

January 21, 2021 was the10th birthday of WeChat. It's said that Zhang Xiaolong is making his another 10-year plan for WeChat. Will he surprise us again? That's for sure.

Have you ever heard of "Who knows that each bowl of rice is the fruit of hard toil （苦工）?" It tells us not to waste food.

As we all know, every bit of food we eat comes from hard work. It's not easy to turn a seed（种子）into the food you can eat. Recently, to help students better understand this, the No. 4 Middle School in Huzhou, Zhejiang held an activity. Under the hot sun, hundreds of students went to a field to experience farming. With the help of others, they learned how to grow rice and pick vegetables. After the activity, they better understood how hard farming was.

Many countries are facing the food-shortage problem now. According to the UN, there are 820 million people living in hunger today. Our country used to face this problem, too. In the 1960s, because there wasn't much food, many people even died from hunger. In 1973, Yuan Longping and his team succeeded in the development of hybrid（杂交）rice. They made great progress in solving our food-shortage problem. Many scientists like Yuan are always going out of their way to solve this problem now.

When we waste food, we waste not only food but also resources（资源）for growing, transporting and cooking the food. These all take energy, time and water. Wasting food also creates greenhouse gas. So food waste is bad for the environment, too.

Please value what you're eating.

Many of my classmates are losing weight so they can look more beautiful. There is nothing wrong with being beautiful, but it is not wise to lose weight by dieting（节食）unhealthily. Every year, many people become sick because of dieting, it is bad for their health and even costs them their own lives. In fact, life is the most important thing. Exercise more and eat less. This could be the best way to lose weight.

These days, many of us have idols（偶像）. They are mostly pop stars. It's

good to like someone with great qualities（品质）. But sometimes some fans are too crazy. For example, they might spend too much time watching their idols' shows. They also buy expensive gifts for their idols. But their own lives might be pretty hard. Some young fans might pay so much attention to their idols that their grades get worse. Some even give up classes to see their idols. Fans should love their idols in a healthy way.

I often see people wearing hanfu on the street. Some might think they are strange, but I don't think so. Everyone has the right to make a choice. Some people enjoy fashion（时尚）, while others like tradition. In fact, when I sometimes see girls wearing hanfu in my school, I say to myself, "Wow! That's a beautiful dress! They are so different!" One day, I will wear hanfu

and introduce it to foreigners.
