When the teacher asked students if they wanted to show their swordplay skills(剑术), many of them raised their hands. This is common in Yingbinlu Primary School(YPS) in Chengdu, Sichuan Province. It started martial arts (武术) training in 2011.
For PE lessons, students in this school can choose from martial arts, table tennis, rope jumping, football and so on. “Only 8 students chose martial arts in the beginning. Now about 200 out of 1,446 students take part in the training,” the headmaster (校长) Chen Xue said.
Lou Yiling is 12 years old. She likes the course so much that she practises swordplay at home. Li Zhuoqian is now a 15-year-old middle school student. She graduated (毕业) from YPS three years ago. She used to be very timid and hid behind her mother when it was her turn to show up. After taking martial arts lessons, she became confident and won many prizes in competitions in Chengdu. She even showed martial arts in Japan with her classmates.
Now martial arts become popular not only in this school but also in other parts of our country. In Chenzhou, Hunan Province, more than 100,000 students at primary and middle schools are taking part in martial arts training.

We each have a memory（记忆力）. That’s why we can still remember things after a long time. Some people have very good memories and they can easily learn many things by heart, but some people can only remember things when they say or do them again and again. Many of the great men of the world have got surprising memories.
A good memory is a great help in learning a language. Everybody learns his mother language when he is a small child. He hears the sounds, remembers them and then he learns to speak. Some children are living with their parents in foreign countries. They can learn two languages as easily as one because they hear, remember and speak two languages every day. In school it is not so easy to learn a foreign language because the pupils have so little time for it, and they are busy with other subjects, too.
But your memory will become better and better when you do more and more exercises.

It was Saturday yesterday. I had no lessons. I got up at six. After breakfast，I went to a farm by truck(卡车) with my classmates to help the farmers with apple harvest(收获). As soon as we went there, we began to pick apples. But some of the apples are too high for me to reach. Jim is very strong. He lifted(举) a ladder(梯子) and held(扶) it for me.
