    When I was 19 years old, I worked in a doctor's office as a medical assistant. I was shy and didn't 1myself, so I 2talked with others. I was uncertain about my future.

    I met a doctor there and became good friends with him. He 3 me to believe in myself    and asked me to learn to communicate with others. He helped me accept 4, and then he encouraged me to 5one or two college classes. I did as what he told me and did very well.

    One day, he asked me where I wanted to go ten years later and    6I wanted my life to be   like. I hadn't thought about this before that day. That night, I 7thought about the two questions. It was he that made me 8a different world.

    Later, I went to college and realized my 9was to be accepted into a physician assistant   training program. Unluckily, it was very 10and I couldn't afford it. I wanted to 11. When my dream was about to slip away, this wonderful man took me out one evening into a bar, bought me a bottle of beer, and offered to help me pay for my college education. He did it 12asking for anything in return.

    A few years later, I asked him why he helped me.

    He said, "13I knew you could be more than what you were, and because once,   when I wasn't sure whether I could succeed and didn't have the money for school,14helped me."

    After15his words, I was shocked. I said, "Thank you, Joe! I will spread the love to others."

Susan: Hey, Alice! Alice: Hi, Susan! Susan:1

Alice: Of course! I'II show them to you tomorrow. You can't imagine how beautiful they are! Susan:4By the way, how did you go there?

Alice: By bike.5

Susan: Yes, it's not only convenient but also good for the environment.

Alice: You're right. Hope that our city can be as beautiful as the park one day.

    Henry worked on a ship, doing tricks (魔术). Each week he showed the same tricks over   and over again, because the passengers on the ship were different. There was also a parrot （鹦鹉） on the ship. It saw the shows so many times that it understood everything. Then it started shouting during the show:

    "Hey, he has put the flowers under the table!" "All the cards are the same."

    "Look carefully. It's a different hat!"

    Henry was very angry but could do nothing.

    One day the ship had an accident and broke into pieces. Henry fell into the water. When he climbed up onto a piece of wood, he found the parrot there. He looked at the parrot angrily and did not say a word. This went on for one day, then another and another. In the end, the parrot said, "Oh, how I wish I hadn't said anything during the shows. Please tell me where you've put the ship and I won't open my mouth again!"

    Huang Zhidong's room is like a small museum. The treasures there are not things he has collected, but miniature (微型的) models dragon heads that he has made himself over the years.

    The 16-yerar-old boy, who studies at the Dongguan Science&Technology School, is a big fan of making miniature models of dragon heads. This is a traditional form of art in his hometown of Guangdong. The models can be as small as a fist (拳头).

    Huang was interested in dragon heads at a young age, as dragon boat races were often held in his hometown. He noticed that every dragon head at the front of the dragon boats has its special color and expression. When he was in kindergarten, he drew pictures of dragon heads. In the fifth grade, he could sculpt (雕刻) them out of wood.

    However, the process was more difficult than he thought it would be. "Draw a picture, print it on the wood, sculpt, polish, paint, color,... it includes almost 10 steps," Huang said. He sometimes spends seven hours a day sculpting of the models of dragon heads.

    Huang has even turned his hobby into the business. He often shares his works on Wechat. At the age of 13, Huang received his first order for four models of dragon heads after posting pictures online. It took him two weeks to finish the four models. The praise he got from his customer encouraged him to make more models. He has got many more orders since then.

    He is now trying to improve his skills. He is sculpting with different kinds of wood and studying the works of master sculptors.

    Have you ever heard of STEM education? STEM stands for Science, Technology, Engineering and Math. It means students can learn these four subjects in one class. They can also work on many projects to practice what they learn. STEM education is very popular in the US.

    Now many Chinese schools start to use STEM education. More than 600 middle schools are using it, and Beijing Yuying School is one of them.

    The school started the course in May. It invited college teachers to teach more than 80 students about programming, robotics and other interdisciplinary (跨学科的) knowledge.

    The teaching style is quite different from the traditional education. Once students get basic knowledge, they will practice it immediately. For example, after learning about the electrical circuit (电路), students are required to design one that can control three lights at the same time.

    They also have many projects to improve their hands-on abilities. Once, they needed to make a smart home model in a competition. All the students were required to design a house model and   make it smart. Liu Tianyou, 12, with his teammates, used computer programs and censors (传感器) to finish it. "If you open the door, the lights will turn on automatically," he said. Their work won the third prize.

    The course also develops students' creativity. Zhao Hongyi, 14, particularly likes robots. After learning mechanics and programming in the class, he made a robot within two months. From assembling to testing, he finished it on his own. The robot can grasp things and walk on certain tracks under orders from him. "It's cool to make my dream come true," he said。

    Some foreign girls are learning how to make Chinese knots. They are studying very hard. One of the girls says, "Hi, nice to meet you. We are not Chinese, we are interested in Chinese history and culture. So we come to China to learn it. Chinese are very .

    Today we know to make Chinese knots. It is interesting. We are your . We can be good friends."

    Jack, a British traveler and writer, has been exploring the Great Wall of China.

    When he was a small boy, he planned to explore the Great Wall, nobody  it seriously.

    But Jack achieved his goal. Now he in Beijing, and his new book, The  Great  Wall Explained, out. There are a lot of photographs and articles. It is welcomed by the readers.

    It was a brave trip on the Great Wall and he had already run 3,000 kilometers along it!

    During those years, he got to many villages along the way. He by friendly villagers, although they didn't quite understand why the Englishman would have such interest in the Great Wall.

    At last, the exams are over. You've done the hard work, but you can't relax. You have to prepare for the next exams. Do you hate exams? Students in other countries hate them as well.

    Luckily for them, British students have fewer exams than Chinese students. And they only have them once a year. Each test lasts about an hour. These exams are   not important. Even if a student does really badly he still progresses to the next year.

    The report is sent to the child's parents. It says how the student studied at school.

    This report is private, so only the teacher, the student and his or her parents see it.

   Some students choose to tell each other, but others keep it secret.
