My parents hardly let me ask for help, so I trained myself to do things just by myself. I thought if I asked for help, I would be a trouble to other people.

However, I didn't have the right shoes for the bad weather. I wanted to ask the host for a pair of shoes for me, but finally, I said 4
When we got home two hours 5 , the rain made my shoes 6 , I felt really cold and terrible. That was all because I wouldn't ask a simple thing like, "Could you find a pair of good shoes
for me?"
From that day on, I tried hard to overcome(克服) the 7 to ask. It took me a long time. I've found that people are always happy to 8 help. What's more, asking for help isn't a sign of weakness. Asking gives you the chance(机会) to find the 9 of others.
Go to ask someone. The 10 answer is just"no"while the best answer is an experience you'll never forget.

Every school has rules and students must follow them. Following school rules helps create a wonderful learning environment for students. For most schools, rules are serious and meaningful. There are also some funny ones. Let's have a look!
|
In a Sydney school, students can't do cartwheels(侧手翻)because it's dangerous for students to do it without the help of teachers or parents. |
|
|
Students in some schools in the US can't wear boots(靴子) because they may use them to hide mobile phones. |
|
|
To help students study and play in larger groups, every student can't make only one "best friend"in some schools in the UK. |
|
|
To develop good eating habits and make students have comfortable eating environment, a school in China makes a rule——No talking while eating in the dining hall. |

It's interesting to see these school rules in different parts of the world. But every rule has a reason to make the school a better and safer place for everyone.
Sosina lives in Ethiopia (埃塞俄比亚), in eastern AfricA. When she was about 16, she and her friends saw a group of boys skateboarding (滑滑板) in a park. "I have never tried skateboarding. So I just asked them to let me have a try. It was fun!" Sosina saiD.
At the time, skateboarding was mainly for boys and men. But Sosina was interested about it. She wanted more girls to experience skateboarding. So in 2020, she started a club called Ethiopian Girl Skaters (EGS) with her friend Micky. Since then, the club has provided free skateboarding lessons for more than 150 girls and young women.
EGS lessons are on Saturdays, from 8:00 A. m. to 1:00 p. m. at Addis Skatepark. Each class has about 35 students.
"I get skating lessons and make friends. That's the best part, " says Kenan. She is one of the club members.
"When I started skateboarding, no girls actively took part in it. Most of them had to stay at home and help their parents with the housework, "Sosina says, "but things have changeD. "
Now Sosina and Micky are trying to open a company. They hope more people in Ethiopia can feel the same joy they get from skateboarding.
According to the traditional Chinese calendar (the lunar calendar 农历), for every 19 years there will be seven leap months(闰月). This year in 2023, there are two Februaries. There are some traditional activities during leap month in ChinA.
In some parts of Henan province, daughters will prepare wild goose-shaped pastries(老雁馍) for their parents before the leap month comes, wishing for happiness and luck. In some parts of Shandong province, the married daughters will send dough-made(面团制的) fish and toad(蟾) to their parents, which means"wealth"(财富)and "health".
People living near Wuyi Mountain in Fujian province have the tradition of drinking tea during leap month, and only women can take part in this activity. Women in the village take turns holding the tea party, and they drink tea while talking to one another.
Just like other festivals, a get-together dinner is very important among the traditions of the leap month. When leap month comes, parents will invite the married daughter to return home and have dinner together, wishing for happiness and good luck.
ChatGPT is an AI(人工智能) chatbot (聊天机器人). It is quite new, but it has quickly become popular. More than 100 million people are already using it. Chatbots are very creative and can do many things. Now, people are worried that they may lose their jobs because of chatbots.
Some jobs will be replaced (代替)by AI. Chatbots can work with information, do research, and write reports. Some companies have already realized this and begun to use chatbots. Chatbots work fast
and they do not need rest. This saves time for humans, and companies save money.
However, some jobs will never be replaced by AI because AI cannot solve problems like humans can. For example, AI can be a helpful tool for teachers, such as providing teaching resources (资源), checking homework and answering students' questions. However, teachers will always provide better help and advice for students, because they can understand their students'needs better than AI. Although we can get help from chatbots, these tools still have some shortcomings(缺点). They cannot completely replace humans.
Once upon a time, there was a clever old man who lived in a small village. People in the village
would often come to him for advice.
One day, a young boy from the village thought of a plan to play a joke on the old man. He caught
a small butterfly and hold the butterfly in his two hands, he went to the wise old man.
"Old man, I have something in my hands and I want to ask you if it's alive or dead, " the boy said.
The old man looked at the boy and thought for a moment. He knew that if he said the butterfly was alive, the boy would kill it in his hand, and if he said the butterfly was dead, the boy would let it fly away.
"My dear boy, " the old man said, "the butterfly is in your hands. It is up to you to decide whether it lives or dies. "
And with those words, the old man taught the boy an important lesson about how the things we choose to do and our choices can make a big difference.
