Wu Lin, 13, of Fujian, said, "More than 10 of 22 boys in my class often swear. We just swear for fun most of the time. But later, I understood that it was bad for me. So I stopped."
Li Fangfang, 13, Beijing, knows that laughing at others can really hurt. "Once, a classmate put up her hand to answer a question. But she didn't give the right answer. Then some classmates laughed at her," Li said. "From that day on, she never put up her hand. Those laughing kids hurt her a lot."

It comes on the third day of the third lunar month, so It's not on the same day every year. The day is said to be the birthday of Yellow Emperor (Huangdi). It didn't have a fixed date until the Wei and Jin dynasties(朝代).
In the Eastern Jin Dynasty, people often bath in the river on that day to wash away bad luck. Wang Xizhi wrote in his Lantingji Xu- about how people took a bath and wrote poems while drinking. In the Tang Dynasty, people enjoyed drinks and sightseeing. In the Ming and Qing dynasties, people did activities like throwing stones, going for long walks in the country and listening to music.
In modern times, people in the southern parts of China mainly celebrate the festival. For the Zhuang people in Guangxi, they can enjoy a two or three- day holiday. And it is a festival for young people to sing songs and find their true love. Bamboo dancing is another important actıvıty for them. For the Li and Miao people in Hainan, it is a day for remembering ancestors (祖先). For the Han people, it is a time to go outside to enjoy flowers and cook eggs with jicai. The Han people believe the wild vegetable and the special eggs are of great benefit to human health. In some areas, there are dragon boat races and other cultural performances to celebrate this lucky day.
All in all, the Double Third Festival is a time for people to feel nature, share traditions, and celebrate the arrival of spring with joy.

Direct questions are either yes or no questions such as "Are you married?" or information questions such as "Where do you live?"
It's OK to ask your friends or someone you know well direct questions, but such questions can seem unfriendly at times, especially when you are asking a stranger. For example, if you come up to someone and ask "What time is it?" or "Can you move?", he or she may refuse to help you. It is certainly right to ask questions in this way, but it's very common to make these kinds of questions more polite by adding "Excuse me" or "Pardon me" to begin your questions. "Excuse me, when does the bus leave?" or "Pardon me, may I sit here?" sounds more polite.
It's also possible to use "can" in more informal (非正式的) situations. In the past, people used" can" when asking for something, but only to speak about abilities. In the UK, some English teaching materials from Cambridge University come with the phrase (短语) "Can you lend me…" "Can I have...", etc. In the US, this form is still considered to be not true, especially for written English, and "May I have..." is better. Questions with "can" will sound more polite by using "could": "Pardon me, could you help me?"
"Would" can also be used to make questions more polite. "Would you let me borrow your pencil?" is also polite.
Another way of making direct questions more polite is to add "please" at the end of the questions, We can say "Could you help me, please?" But notice this, "please" should not appear at the beginning of the questions.
(1)、What are direct questions?(2)、Who will feel you´re unfriendly if you ask them direct questions?(3)、What is a more polite way to ask "What time is it?"(4)、For written English in the US, what´s better for "Can I have..."?(5)、Where should "please" appear in a question to be polite?三、情景交际(共10分)
