Life is like the four seasons. Now I am very old, but when I am young, it is the spring of my life. I play a lot, and then I start school. I learn many new things. Like a flower, I grow bigger and bigger day by day. There are happy days and heartbroken days. Some days the Sun shines, the other days it rains. When I am twenty years old, I have a good job. I am strong and happy. Then I marry and have a child. In those days, I don't have much time to think or to play. Every day, I am busy and work hard. I start to get white hair. It's the summer of my life and it passes quickly.

One day I stop working, and I retire （退休）. I have more time. I know is my autumn, a beautiful time when the trees change colour and give people delicious fruit. But the days are getting shorter and colder. Winter comes. I am older and weaker. I know I do not have many days, so I will enjoy them to the end.

Chongqing, a city of more than 32 million people, faced a test this summer. A heat wave and drought caused several large wildfires since Aug 17.

More than 14 thousand people have joined this war, including firefighters, soldiers, and professional teams, as well as helicopters have been sent to put out the fires.

Under a scorching sun, people in Chongqing used chain saws（电锯） to fell trees. It can stop more trees from catching fire. Others rode motorcycles on narrow paths to take firefighters and supplies（ 补 给 ） up a mountain, while some volunteers carried food and drinks on their backs on foot. Women and children are not waiting at home, either. They helped send supplies and clear the ground.

When you learn English, listening, speaking and writing are important, but reading can also be very helpful. Here are some good reading tips.

Read something that you can understand. If you need to stop every three words to use a dictionary, it is not interesting.

Try to increase the number of your new words. If there are four or five new words on a page, write them down in your notebook. Instead, try to guess their meanings as you read: mark them with a pen. Then come back when you finish reading, and look them up in a dictionary and write them in your own vocabulary notebook. Then try to remember them.

Try to read regularly （定期地）. Fifteen minutes every day is better than two hours every Sunday. Fix a time to read and keep reading. You could read for fifteen minutes before you go to bed or after you get up or at lunchtime.

Choose a book or a magazine about a subject that you like, because you are going to spend time and money reading it.There are many English newspapers in China. It is easy enough to understand them and also there is something interesting in them.
