The sky was blue and the sun was warm. We sat and talked. "I remember sitting here and watching the fish swimming in the water, " he said. "3, they would jump out and land beside me. I didn't need a-rod and bait（饵） at that moment. "
" We have to be patient, " he continued. " The fish may4or they may not. It doesn't matter. We're out in the sun. It's a beautiful day. If it had rained, we wouldn't be here. We're5to enjoy the warmth of the sun. "
I watched6bobbers. No fish pulled them under that day. It didn't matter. I was with Grandpa. I always wanted to be like him7I grew up. He was well liked by everyone. He had worked hard all his life for what little he had, but he could still find time to laugh.

The English teacher asked students to share a film they have ever seen with classmates. Here is Peter's introduction about a film he likes best.
I saw a film online. Its name is Wall-E. The story takes place in 700 years in the future. Earth has become too polluted to live on. The plants have all died. Humans have left for other planets. A robot called Wall-E is left alone to clean up the trash. He goes about his work each day. He has only one friend, a cockroach（蟑螂） called Hal.
Wall-E is lonely. He collects strange items of trash. He then uses them to decorate（装饰） his home. He watches an old videotape over and over again. The tape has taught Wall-E about holding hands and falling in love. He dreams of meeting someone special.
One day Wall-E's life changes. A spacecraft lands on the dirty planet and brings an egg-shaped robot named Eva. Humans sent Eva to Earth to check for any signs of life. Wall-E falls in love with Eva, but Eva is more interested in her work.
When Eva finishes her work, the spacecraft returns to take her back. Wall-E decides to follow her. Nothing will stop him from being with Eva, not even hundreds of thousands of miles of space, not evil robots, or fat humans who have lost the ability to do things for themselves.
The film Wall-E is filled with humor and love. It will surely touch the soft part of your heart.
Ancient China was a place where states were often at war with each other. But it was also a time when there were many great influential philosophers（哲学家）.
Confucius（551 BC—479 BC） was the philosopher whose influence has been the greatest. He stressed the importance of kindness, duty and order in society. Chinese society was influenced by these ideas for more than 2000 years.
Mencius was a thinker whose teachings were very similar to those of Confucius Mencius was born in 372 BC. He became a student of Confucius's ideas. He travelled from state to state, teaching the principles of Confucius. He spent his last years preparing a book of his teachings called The Book of Mencius. Mencius believed that the reason why man is different from animals is that man is good. He taught that if the ruler was kind, then people would be good. He believed that people were more important than rulers, and hated the state when it treated people badly.
Mozi was another teacher who also influenced China a lot. Born in -476 BC, he came from a family which was very poor. He became famous for his unusual clothes and behaviour. Mozi founded the philosophy called Mohism. In some ways, his beliefs were similar to those of Confucius. For example, he considered that government was most important. As a result, he spent many years trying to find a state where people would follow his teachings. Mozi believed that all men were equal. His idea of love was different from the Confucian idea of kindness. Mozi taught that we should love all human beings and look after those who are weaker than ourselves. He hated the idea of war. Mozi died in 390 BC.
ChatGPT is a smart AI chatbot tool. According to a US survey of more than 1, 000 students, over 89 percent of them have used ChatGPT to help with homework.
Developed by US company OpenAI, ChatGPT is a powerful tool. You can ask it to write stories and emails, create recipes, translate languages.
Some schools in the US, Australia and France don't allow the use of ChatGPT. In the US, for example, schools order students not to use ChatGPT on the district's networks and devices（设备）.
Some teachers try to include more speaking exams and handwritten papers instead of typed ones.
The move comes out of worries that the tool could make it easier for students to cheat on schoolwork. In addition, ChatGPT can't help with students'critical-thinking（批判性思维） at all, which is necessary for their study and even lifelong success.
Some are working on its use, for both students and teachers. They have no plans to completely stop using the tool so far. Others think AI is a tool people will use. What we need to do is to change our learning, teaching and examinations to make it suitable for the high technology.

However, many schools in China have "Model Chinese People's Political CPPCC"activities. And every year, Consultative Conference there's a competition called National （CPPCC） National Committee Youth Model CPPCC. Young students can give advice just like real CPPCC members do. Let's take a look at some prize-winning advice.
Students from Xi'an Gaoxin No. 1 High School said when walking under the highways and bridges in the city, they felt the places are dark, or even dirty. They thought about turning them into gardens, parking lots or sports fields. But the result of the survey was a little surprising. Instead of sports fields , people need drinking water stations more. By talking to people, they also got the idea that drivers also hope there could be bathrooms.
According to a survey which says 91 percent of high school students have a strong will to take part in practical activities, where they can use their knowledge in the real world, students from Beijing 101 Middle School suggest that education departments build a practical activities platform for high school students. From this platform, they can choose what projects they would like to do and contact the related（相关的） organizations by themselves. By uploading their project report on the platform, students can directly get scores for this course. They hope their suggestions could be seen by the Ministry of Education.

According to a research, it now beats skateboarding, cycling and other sports as one of the most popular sports among young people—about 60 percent of people who took part in the survey said they want to make new friends by playing the game.
Frisbee is a very social game. Men and women can play the sport together and there is no body contact. People have seen friends more often since they started playing frisbee.
For those who want to compete, there are many choices, too. They can try the team disc sport called"ultimate". Unlike some games, ultimate encourages honesty and fair play, with no judges （裁判） on the court. In another game called"disc golf", players try to hit faraway targets（目标） with a disc.
Playing rules
The rules of frisbee are very simple. The players' main goal is simply to catch the frisbee. The thrower can't move when throwing the frisbee, while others without the frisbee can move as they want. In a team game, a player will try to get the frisbee and throw it to a teammate.
The increasing popularity of the activity has got the attention of the government. On July 7, 2022, it was announced that the first Chinese Frisbee League was held. Now, this sport can be seen in many cities around the country and has become a national exercise activity.
