Season two of Where Are We Going, Dad? A reality show on Hunan TV is even more fun and colorful than the first. We’ve been able to watch different kinds of father-son/daughter relationships unfold. This time around we see the families at their most happy and awful moments.
| Dad: Huang Lei, 43 Daughter: Huang Yici (Duo Duo), 8  |
Huang Lei, among his many jobs—actor, director, singer and lecture—is also a farther. He couldn’t be more patient when it comes to take care of his daughter Duo Duo. As the oldest kid in the show, Duo Duo is smart, thoughtful and wise beyond her years. Together, they’re the pair with the most positive energy on the show. |
|
| Dad: Lu Yi, 38 Daughter: Lu Yuxuan (Bei’r), 5  |
As the most stylish father in the show, actor Lu Yi certainly knows how to look handsome. We often see him wearing fashionable clothes, and matching outfits with his daughter Bei’r. But as a dad, sometimes his ability is not equal to his willing. Fortunately, Bei’r is an obedient child who behaves well. |
|
| Dad: Francis Ng, 53 Son: Feynman Ng, 5  |
These two have the traditional father-son relationship, where the father is serious and the son is obeyed by only a glance. “A tough man with a tender heart” is the best way to describe this actor from Hong Kong, especially when we see him giving Feynman encouragement and support. Feynman is s a strong and independent boy who always tries to hold back his tears in front of the camera. |
|
| Dad: Yang Wei, 34 Son: Yang Wenchang , 4  |
As a father, the former world champion gymnast isn’t as powerful as he was in competition. Yang has showed us his soft, patient and quiet side. Yang’s good life skills make it quite easy for him to look after his son on his own. Yang Wenchang, on the other hand, is a perfect example of the saying “like father, like son”. |
|
| Dad: Gary Chaw, 34 Son: Joe Chaw, 5 Daughter: Grace Chaw, 3  |
It is the most dramatic group on the show. Malaysian singer Gary Chaw may not be so great at parenting, but he certainly knows how to play with his children. The brother and sister are sweet, bright and lovely. Even Gary Chaw tears up a few times, this are what family is for: Family laughs together, cries together and shares with each other their most memorable moments. |

In classroom, your teachers will talk about topics that you are studying．The information they provide will be important for you to know when you take tests．So you must be able to take good written notes from what your teachers say．
Here are the three stages(阶段) of taking notes and what you should do during each stage．
1.Before Class
Review your notes you have taken before you come to class．This will be good for remembering what was covered．Get you ready to understand new information your teacher will provide．
2.During Class
Keep your attention on what your teacher is saying and “the signal words” that tell you what your teacher is going to say and it is important to write in your notes．Examples of signal words are “The most important point…” and “Remember that…”．Be sure to include in your notes information that your teacher repeats or writes on the blackboard．Write quickly so that you can include all the important information in your notes．Do this by writing abbreviations such as med for medicine, using symbols such as % for percent, and writing short sentences．
3.After Class
Rewrite your notes to make them more complete and accurate(准确的) by changing abbreviations into whole words, symbols into words, and shortened sentences into longer sentences．Use them to answer your questions．If necessary, ask your teacher for help．

Two students started quarreling at school．One student shouted dirty words at the other, and a fight began.
What can be done to stop fights like this at school? In some schools, disputants(争执者) sit down with peer mediators (同龄调解者)．Peer mediators are usually students with special training in this kind of problems.

What do you think of black cats? Are they unluckier than cats of other colors? Many people in Western countries think so．Scientists at the University of California, Berkeley (UC Berkeley), did a study on cat colours and people’s understandings of cat personalities．
The study found that people do judge(判断) cat personalities by color．Scientists did a survey on the Internet．There were 49 statements (描述) matching five cat colorings with 10 personalities．People think orange and bi-coloured (双色的) cats are friendly, tri-coloured (三色的) cats are not generous, and white cats are calm, lazy and shy．As for black cats, people think they don’t have special personalities．
But why do so many people dislike keeping black cats as pets? People think black cats have less special personalities, which might be because of their bad reputation (口碑)．They think black cats may bring bad luck, especially at Halloween．Movies and television shows also make people believe that.
Although people have these ideas, UC Berkeley scientists give another reason: people don’t think black cats are pretty enough．After all, nothing can show black cats are unluckier than other cats．“You can’t judge a cat by its colour, because it’s the personality of the cat, not the colour, that will let you know if the cat is right for you,” Cathy Marden, a scientist said.Many people in Western countries may think black cats are___________.
