Long ago， as people got older， there was something wrong with their teeth and it would be very painful．（1）
Later people learned that cleaning their teeth was important， but they didn't have toothpaste（牙膏） at that time．（2）
About 100 years ago someone finally created a kind of cream to clean teeth．Not long after that，the toothpaste tube （管子） was invented， so people could press the toothpaste right onto the toothbrush!（3） The army gave brushes and toothpaste to all the soldiers， and they learned to brush teeth twice a day． At that time toothpaste tubes were made of metal．（4）
Today there are plenty of toothpaste choices：lots of colors and tastes to choose from，and some kinds of toothpaste are made just for children．When you're choosing a kind of toothpaste，make sure it has fluoride（氟化物）．（5） When you brush your teeth，you don't need a lot of toothpaste： just press out a bit．

Why Live Near the River？
Imagine pioneers traveling west in the 1800s． In those days， it was hard to find running water and shops where to buy things． As time went by， most pioneers had to make their homes near a river so that they could get water easily．

Back in the pioneer days， people grew their own food，caught their own fish，and collected their own water．（1） People also used rivers as roads，traveling on boats．Traders shipped goods （货物）to people from other areas．
（2）
When building many factories right next to rivers for the water's power to make machines work， some people choose to live near a river for working． They use the river to ship large goods， and some of them work at these factories where power factories provide electricity to homes and businesses． （3）
Who wouldn't want to live near a river？
Some people are nervous about living near rivers because rivers can cause floods （洪水）． Every once in a while， floodwaters rise higher than a house， ruining （泡坏） many things in the house．（4） Such waste causes water to smell bad and pollutes the crops （庄稼） we eat． Water and crops in polluted areas can make people very sick．

A growing number of Chinese stories are being told by foreigners through the Internet．
Recently， a video made by an Australian on Douyin swept the screen，followed by more than 2 million zans and 110， 000 comments（评论）． In the video he said． "I'm pleased with the Chinese lifestyle．It's really difficult to live in a country like Australia， especially after you have spent so much time in China． If you don't drive a car in China， you just ride a bike． You can get anywhere easily， and there are subways． But in Australia， if you don't have a car， you can do nothing．"
The Australian uncle also complained about（抱怨）the price of Uber， an Australian taxi﹣hailing software． "My God， one kilometer is almost 20 Australian ollas（about 97 yuan RMB）．"
The blogger of Beijing Expat Guide， Paul Stoker， compared life in Beijing with life in America． He said． "Life is usually controlled by ears in the US． There's no cheap and good public transportation， so it's so difficult to get somewhere． You always have to borrow or rent a car or ask for a ride．""Compared to the colorful life in Beijing， life seems so boring in America． It seems nothing has changed at home， except for you．"
Coming back to America， Cynthia Lopez said at eChinacities． "The number of mass shooting in the US has quickly increased in recent years． You don't have to worry about your safety in China﹣guns are not allowed by law in China． Because of America's gun culture， guns will never be illegal in the US．"

"The only constant（不变）in life is change． "Heraclitus said in about 500 B． C． That could be more true today．（1） Technology is out of date almost by the time you buy it． We get plenty of information every day． Francis Bacon said． "Knowledge is power．" In fact． there is more information in a newspaper than he would have experienced in his whole life．
Why are we afraid of change？（2） After all， who knows what new dangers might appear？ However， change is also the only way of development． Nobody can stop it in life． Luckily， our brains become stronger when meeting the unknown．（3） To be more imaginative and creative， you should look for and find environments you have no experience with．
（4） For example， try a new restaurant， or go to a play or a concert you normally wouldn't attend． Small changes can help you gradually get used to uncertainty（不确定）． So when bigger things happen． you'll be more fully prepared for them．
