    Everyone must know the phrase "cyber manhunt". It refers to finding a person's personal information on the Internet and then letting all the people know it.

    Cyber manhunt is a kind of cyber bullying (网络暴力). China is working hard to protect people's personal information online. On October 1, China's first regulation (规定）to protect children online will work.

    According to the regulation, no group or person should produce or talk about information that can harm (危害) the safety of anyone under the age of 14. If you find someone doing this, you can call the police.

    This is quite important to children. In 2019, the number of minors using the Internet in China was 169 million. About 89.5 percent of primary school students and 99.4 percent of junior high school students were Internet users. A recent report shows that 15.6 percent of minors in China get hurt by cyber bullying. After someone puts their information on the Internet, other people may say unkind things to them. Some of them have even taken their own lives because of cyber bullying. Once children's information is shown online, their safety is also in danger.

    Cyber bullying is bad for children's health. It's important to protect their personal information online.

    Bananas are the perfect snack, because they are not only sweet and delicious, but also easy to carry around. Best of all, bananas can provide different things that the human body needs!

    Bananas grow best in warm places that get lots of rain. They grow on plants that look like trees. The banana plants can grow as high as 30 feet (英尺).When they reach their full height, flowers grow out from the plants. These lowers produce bananas.

    The plants produce fruit twice or three times each year. The bananas grow together. They seem like "hands". A hand is made up of 10 to 20 bananas. Farmers sometimes call bananas "fingers". Each bunch (串) of bananas has about 15 hands, and so a whole bunch may have as many as 300 bananas and can weigh more than 100 pounds.

    After about three months, farmers are ready to pick the bananas. At this point, they still aren't the sunny yellow color. Farmers pick them when they are green. When travelling to stores, they turn yellow along the way and are ready to be sold.

Americans love the fruit. They eat more bananas than any other fruit. More bananas are sold than apples and grapes together. Every American eats over 26 pounds of bananas each year!

    There are all kinds of animals on our planet. Some are cute, but some are not. Some are small, but some are big. Here are four of the funniest and friendliest animals. But remember, although they look nice, it doesn't mean they are always friendly.

    Cows love to eat grass, and they eat quite a lot! You needn't be afraid of this kind of quiet farm animals. But don't run at a cow in a field or touch one, unless you are told by an adult it's okay.

    Horses are big and beautiful animals, but they can be frightened easily. A horse might jump up if he hears a loud noise, or kick his legs if you come near too suddenly. All horses, like humans, are different.

    Chimpanzees(黑猩猩) make funny faces and put on a real show at the zoo, but believe it or not, they can be very dangerous.  And they are strong, too much stronger than humans, so you should never make a chimp mad!
