An eight-year-old boy named Liangliang liked watching cartoons every day instead of doing his homework, so his mother stopped him from watching cartoons. Liangliang called the police to take his mother away—such a “good reason” to call the police.
Most people would just laugh it off. However, it shows that something is wrong with our education. It rings alarm to our Chinese parents to think about it.
Parents should ask themselves why they’re so angry when their kids want to watch cartoons instead of doing homework. Kids are supposed to be simple and naughty(顽皮). They can just ask their kids to do things they expect them to do. Schoolwork is important but a healthy childhood is much more important. If they push their kids too hard, the kids will not listen to them. Instead, parents should spend some time talking to their kids and help them grow in a good way. It’s also a good way to help parents themselves to grow, too.
In China, lots of parents care more about scores(分数) than any other things. They hope their kids can be top students and go to the top colleges. Curriculum Reformation(课改) is coming though, and it would bring some changes to our schools. It’s also time for parents to change their minds to reduce pressure(减轻压力) on their kids and help them to grow happily and naturally.
When Liangliang watched cartoons, his mother______.

A.called the police for help
B.watched with him
C.didn’t allow him to do so
D.didn’t stop him doing so

Which color do you like best? Everyone has his own favorite color, but how do people feel about colors? It depends on their cultures. The same color sometimes has different meanings in different countries.
In England, the right color for a bride(新娘) to wear is white. But in China and other eastern countries, brides often wear red. Why? It is because the red color is a sign of good luck.
Red is used as a sign of danger in England. Road signs are often in red. In eastern countries, red does not mean you have to be careful.
In England and other western countries, black is the color of death. But in many eastern countries, most people think white is the color of death.

The first lady of America Michelle Obama visited China not long ago. During her trip, she went to Chengdu No.7 High School. She gave the students a wonderful speech(演讲) to tell them about her own experience. She said she was born in a common(普通的) family. There were four people in her family and they lived in a small house. Her father was a worker and didn’t make much money, but the little home was filled with love.

Smog is a big problem in many Chinese cities. But it seems that besides wearing a mask (口罩), few of us know what has caused the smog and what to do to beat it. Chai Jing, former news anchor with Chinese Central Television, discussed the questions in her documentary Under the Dome (穹顶之下).
The 103-minute film was released on major Chinese video-sharing websites on Feb 28. In the film, Chai visits polluted places and talks to officials and scientists. She concludes that burning too much coal and oil are the main causes of PM2.5 and smog.
To make things worse, according to Chai, the coal and oil we are burning is of poor quality and doesn’t meet the standards (标准) for environmental protection. Therefore Chai says more harmful gas and particles (颗粒) have been produced to pollute the air. To solve the problem, Chai suggests that we should clean our coal and oil or replace(代替) them with cleaner energy such as natural gas.
In her film, Chai also suggested that we should do something to help control smog too. For example, she says we can live a greener life by using more public transportation. Or if we see things that harm the environment, we will try to stop it. In one scene from the film, Chai saw a dirt mound in a building site exposed in the air, she asked the person in charge to cover it. When she saw a restaurant cooking without any suitable filter facilities (过滤设备), she called the hotline 12369. The restaurant installed the filter a week later.
Chen Jining, the new minister of environmental protection, praised Chai. “This film encourages ordinary people to care for the environment. This is what we need in the future.”
Many people in China know the causes of smog, don’t they?
How long does the film Under the Dome last ?
What are the main causes of PM2.5 and smog?
Why does Chai say more harmful gas and particles have been produced to pollute the air ?
What energy can replace coal and oil to reduce air pollution?
What do you think of Chai’s film? How should we control smog as an ordinary person? (at least two suggestions)
