Last year, at 00:23 on October 16th, the Shenzhou XIII spacecraft (宇宙飞船) rose into the sky. After flying around the earth for six months, the three astronauts of the Shenzhou XIII mission (飞行任务) returned home on April 16th, 2022. Zhai Zhigang, Wang Yaping and Ye Guangfu successfully finished China's longest manned (载人的) spaceflight.

Chinese astronauts get difficult training before going to space. The high-G training simulates the environment when the spacecraft takes off. Sitting in a super-fast spinning (旋转) machine, astronauts' face muscles (肌肉) change shape. They cry tears as they spin. Blood can't flow (流动) to their brains properly, causing a lack (缺少) of oxygen (氧气) and even blindness. Astronauts must operate the spacecraft under these conditions.

Another exhausting (使耗尽的) exercise is the underwater training which lasts (持续) seven hours each time. It simulates a weightless environment. Wang Yaping had to wear a 200-kilogram suit and do tasks in 10-meter-deep water without eating or going to the toilet. 

When Chinese astronauts do the high-G training, they have a red button on hand. If they feel too sick and can't stand it anymore, they can press it to stop the spinning machine. But for over 20 years since China set up its first astronaut team in 1998, not a single person has ever used it.

China is a large country. The population is over 1. 4 billion. It has a special culture with a very long history. 

Chinese food plays an important role for Chinese families. Different foods have special meanings. The main difference is that Chinese people eat their meals with chopsticks. One of the main foods in Chinese culture is rice. Tea is a favorite drink and it is popular in the market. 

Chinese calendar is different from the one used in western countries. New Year's Day is in late winter. It is also called the Spring Festival. It has special foods and traditions. For example, sweeping the floor before New Year's Day sweeps away all the old year's bad luck.

The Chinese zodiac, known as Sheng Xiao, follows a twelve—year cycle(循环). Each year is named for an animal. These animal signs are rat, ox, tiger, rabbit, dragon, snake, horse, sheep, monkey, rooster, dog and pig. For example, the year that begins in 2022 is the year of the tiger. 

Chinese is a complex (复杂的) language. Chinese writing developed almost 4,000 years ago and may be even older. Chinese writing has thousands of characters. A character stands for a word and also a meaning. Besides Putonghua, Chinese people speak six more forms of the language, and there are many kinds of dialects (方言). 

We do eye exercises. We wear sunglasses. We do lots of things to protect our eyes.  

Ears help us hear the world. But many things, like loud noises and sudden noises, can make your hearing lost. So how can we protect our ears? Let's take a look together.

Dry your ears with a towel (毛巾) after swimming or taking a bath. If you feel water in your ear, shake your head a little bit. 

Usually, our ears clean themselves. The earwax (耳垢) builds up, dries out, and then comes out of the ear along with some dirt. Don't clean your ears with anything sharp (尖的), or it can make the earwax go too deep into your ears and hurt them.

Don't listen to loud music on your headphones (耳机) for a long time. Follow the "60 Rule": listen to music at 60 percent of your headphone's maximum volume (最大音量) for no more than 60 minutes a day. They do a better job of stopping outside noises so you can listen at a lower volume.

A. This can help you get the water out of your ear. 

B. Once this happens, it's hard to get your hearing back.

C. But if your ears start to hurt, you can go to a doctor for help. 

D. Over-the-ear (头戴式) headphones are better than in-ear ones. 

E. However, we usually forget another important part of our body—the ears. 

A: Hi , Cindy. Long time no see. 

B: Hi, Mark. Glad to meet you again . 

A: Did you go to Beijing?

B:. I went there with my father. 

A: ?

B : Because my uncle in Beijing was ill. 

A: I'm sorry to bear that. ?

B: He had a stomachache because he was worried about too much. 

A: What did the doctor say?

B: The doctor told him to look on the bright side. 

A: ?

B: He should do something relaxing and think about nice things. 

A: I hope your uncle will be better soon. 

B: . 

A: You are welcome. 

This is a story about two wise men — Zhuge Liang and Zhou Yu. The Chinese people have been telling the story for many years. One day, Zhou Yu gave Zhuge Liang an task. He asked him to make 100,000 arrows (箭) in ten days. "No problem," Zhuge Liang said at once. "I'll bring you 100,000 arrows in days. "

Zhuge Liang asked his soldiers (士兵) to 20 large boats with many straw (稻草) men. On the early morning of the third day, he also asked the soldiers to sail (航行) the boats to the camps of Cao Cao's army on the side of the river. The soldiers shouted and beat their drums loudly.

When Cao Cao's soldiers the sounds, they thought they were under attack (攻击). However, they could not see enemies the thick fog (雾) on the river. Cao Cao ordered his soldiers to shoot arrows towards the sounds of the and the shouting. Zhuge Liang's boats were soon full of arrows.

Zhuge Liang's soldiers then the boats around and shouted, "Thank you for your arrows, Cao Cao. " Zhuge Liang took all arrows to Zhou Yu. He finished the task successfully. There were than 100,000 of them. It is the story of Borrow Arrows with Straw Boats.

When you visit a foreign country, it is important to know how to ask for help politely. For example, you may ask "Where are the restrooms?" or "Could you please tell me where the restrooms are?" These are similar requests for directions. Both are correct, but the first one sounds less polite. That is because it is a very direct question. It is not enough to just ask a question correctly. We also need to learn how to be polite when we ask for help.

Good speakers change the way they speak in different situations. The expressions they use might depend on whom they are speaking to or how well they know each other. It is all right to ask your classmates direct questions because you know them well. However, if you say to your teacher, "When is the school trip?" this might sound impolite. But if you say, "Excuse me, Mr. West. Do you know when the school trip is?", this will sound much more polite.

Usually polite questions are longer. They include expressions such as "Could you please. . . ?" or "May I ask. . . ?" It sounds more polite to say, "Peter, could you please tell me your address?" than "Peter, tell me your e-mail address. " Sometimes we even need to spend time leading into a request. For example, we might first say to a stranger, "Excuse me, I wonder if you can help me" or "I'm sorry to trouble you, but. . . " before asking for help.

It might seem more difficult to speak politely than directly. However, it is important to learn how to use the right language in different situations. This will help you communicate better with other people. 

Little life skills are a big help. Starting with the upcoming fall term, students in primary and middle schools will have at least one class every week to learn basic life skills like cooking and cleaning. These skills will help them for the rest of their lives. What will students learn in labor education (劳动教育)?

The word silk itself is beautiful. The story of silk started in China over 4, 000 years ago. One story says a silkworm's cocoon (茧) fell into a woman's teacup. It then opened into a single, unbroken thread (线). This was an important discovery. The Chinese learned they could use the cocoons to make cloth that was both beautiful to look at and soft to touch.

Making silk was a protected secret in China for many years. In other countries, silk was very valuable. Often it was worth more than gold. It was said that the secret was finally given away when a queen left China for India. In her hair, she secretly carried many silkworms. 

By the year 1 A. D. , silk was sold as far west as Rome, and all along the Silk Road. Finally, around the year 300, silk also travelled from China to Japan. In 1522, the Spanish brought silkworms to Mexico. 

Today people around the world still make many beautiful things from silk. But silk isn't only beautiful. It looks easy to break, but actually it's very strong. For example, people have already used it to make bicycle wheels. And some doctors even use silk threads in hospital. Silk is also lightweight and warm. This makes it great for clothes like winter jackets, trousers and shoes.

All of this is from a little silkworm. That is the magic of silk.
