（偶像青年张艺兴的故事）

When "A Youthful Asia" came out at the Asian Culture Carnival (嘉年华) , tears filled my eyes. It's Zhang Yixing, the singer and dancer standing there for us young people in China, and the very one who stopped me from falling.

Three years ago, my new school life began. As a junior boy from the countryside, I could hardly keep up. I tried, but still felt like an outsider. Nobody would pick me for teamwork. So I stayed in the corner, hanging my head low as if I didn't care. There was a fear in me that all my school life would be colorless.

Then on May 4, I was "colorless" in Yixing's book about his life. How could this be true for someone just named the youth idol (青年偶像)? I read the book again, smiling with the fun part of his childhood and touched by his pormise to his mum.

Something wet my eyes when he joked about his training years in Korea. He doubled his practice, pushing himself so hard as to be called "the trainee (练习生) like god". He said it probably meant "the trainee like mad".

I might have tried, but not as hard as he did. "Whenever I feel I might be falling, I tell myself to hold on until I find my moment." Says Yixing. For me, this moment means a better self inside and a larger world outside. So I told myself I would also make a difference if I could hold on for a longer time.

Luckily, every Youth Day after that, Yixing would be there on CCTV, encouraging me with his progress. When someone asked him what color his training life was, Yixing smiled, "It's colorless. I don't know what color effort is."

But effort pays. Not he's standing at the Asian Culture Carnival, and I know he is looking forward to something even bigger.

（用新技术创造低成本的水）

The world uses about a thousand million (百万) tons of water a day. Water is a human right and everyone should have their share. Yet more than 700 million people around the world have trouble getting clean, safe water.

Treating wastewater is a good way to provide fresh water for us. And it also helps the environment by keeping waste out of rivers and oceans. 80% of wastewater around the world is not treated at all, and it is running into oceans. But now we have got the technology to treat and reuse the wastewater.

While 75% of our planet is covered with water, only about 2% is fresh water—that comes from rivers, lakes, ice and snow. The rest, 98% of the water, is in seas and oceans. It is too salty to drink. Then desalination businesses come in. More than 19.000 factories have been built around the world, mostly in coastal countries. They process (加工) more than 92 million tons of water every day. But the technology they use requires a lot of energy.

Scientists are working to create a less costly technology. They want to produce 20 times more clean water and make sure everyone has enough. But for now, the world still faces each day with not having enough water for everyone.

Reading books can be a great way to pick up new vocabulary, see grammar in action and develop your understanding of a language.

Avoid the classics, for they often use very old English words that are difficult to understand. Children's books are a great place to start. Dr. Seuss's books are sure to make you laugh. Dr. Seuss writes his books in rhyme and they are all very funny. Starting with something like this means you are more likely to finish the book and want to read more.

For more advanced learners, you could try the Hobbit by J.R.R.Tolkien.  If you like reading about historical events, Anne Holm ' I am David is a good read.

If you're not quite ready to read a full book, why not try Roald Dahl's Revolting Rhymes?  Or, try a very short book like one from Roger Hargeaves's Mr. Men and Little Miss series. Although they are intended for young children, they are a good way to pick up some more basic vocabulary.

My final piece of advice would be to read something that interests you. Look at the short summary of the book on the back cover and see if it looks like something that you would enjoy. Think about the type that is in your own language and find one of that type in English.

A. For beginners, I would recommend starting with something short and simple.

B. The key to success is choosing the right book for you.

C. The book isn't too long and it may be easier to follow if you've seen the film.

D. This way, you're more likely to enjoy reading, rather than see it as a headache.

E. This book contains lots of short stories, based on fairy tales, all written in rhyme.
