"Dopamine dressing" was from the book Dress Your Best Life. American fashion psychologist (心理学家), Dawnn Karen wrote this book in 2020. In the book, "dopamine dressing" is about wearing colourful clothes to get more dopamine.

Dopamine is something in our brain. It makes people feel good. Our brain gives it out when we eat delicious food, play with our pets, listen to our favourite songs, after we exercise or when we win a game.

In Science Focus Magazine, some studies showed a relationship (关系) between the colours of the clothes we wear and how we act and feel. One study found that wearing red can make it easier to take action. It also showed bright colors can make people feel active. One more study showed that wearing green can make people feel relaxed because it is the colour of nature. Yellow, the color of summer, can bring people happiness. But there are some problems with these studies because people from different cultures have different ideas about dressing and colours.

In a word, "dopamine dressing" shows that we can wear colourful clothes to get more dopamine and feel good. Dressing is more than just a fashion. It's also a way of showing ourselves.

Eggs are the enemy

Many people believe that egg yolks are bad for their heart. But this is only partly true. Though eggs contain a small amount of saturated fat（饱和脂肪）, they provide us with 13 types of natural vitamins（维生素）and minerals（矿物质）. You might not get some of these nutrients（营养物质）from other foods. So instead of avoiding eggs completely, it's a good idea to keep them in your diet.

Carbohydrates make you fat

When people think about carbohydrates, they think white bread, rice and pasta are fattening. However, there are also "good-carbs", such as beans, pumpkins, sweet potatoes and bananas. We need carbohydrates to give us energy.

"Low-fat" is always better

Like carbohydrates, some fats are good for you and others are not. Without good fats, the human body cannot get enough nutrients. The problem with low-fat products is that they are low in all fats including the good ones.   

Drink eight glasses of water every day

Eight glasses is not always the right amount of water to drink for everyone because different people need different amounts of water. In addition, some people forget there is also water in food like fruits and vegetables. This means you really don't need to only drink water to stay hydrated（含水的）. Drinking water is important, but taking in too much water can be harmful. In serious cases, it can lead to water poisoning.

Throughout the year, there are many events at school. One of the most meaningful of the year is the food collection. It takes place in May and it is held in November again every year. Each school does its food collection1. However, most of the time, it is set up in a similar style.

In my school, it usually2 for a few weeks every time. Students bring their food3 home. The food should be kept long, such as canned food and pastas. We also hold something more4 the school. Some students go door to door and ask people to5 them some food. Some set up boxes in malls and6 areas such as stores or cinemas.

The students all work hard and the members of the neighborhood are very warm-hearted. After that time is over, we bring the collected food to our local Community Table. The poor families in our community can get some food if they need to. Usually, a group of students go with one7 to send the food. I sent food with our English teacher last year. And I was8 to see so many families under the problem of hunger.

I was pleased that our school could help out all of those families. We do this9 each year. What a great event! Sure, we can't change the world,10 we can do our best to make our world a better place.

Saving money for a rainy day in Germany

Germans are known for their beers and soccer. But do you know they also like to save money?

Saving has1 long history in Germany. The world's first savings bank opened in 1778 in Hamburg, a city in northern Germany. By 1836, there were more than 300 of these savings banks in the country. Germans think that saving money2 them the top savers in the world. German families have saved more than 8 per cent of3 money over the last 20 years, according to OECD data.

What is the reason Germans save money? According to the Financial Times, being smart4 money is part of the image that Germans have of themselves. They strongly believe that saving money is like being honest or kind. What's more, Germans think that saving money is important for their country. If every German5 dropping coins into money boxes, Germany will become richer and stronger.

Autumn is a good season to come to Shenzhen Bay Park. Every autumn, it becomes busy place for migratory (迁徙的) birds and bird watchers.

These migratory birds enjoy (take) a rest here, and people in Shenzhen like to have them stay. If you come to Shenzhen Bay Park on a clear day, you (see) many bird lovers come to the park with their cameras. They are ready to take pictures of these (beauty) birds.

Seeing is believing, but if our eyes don't work, how can we see to believe? Because they spend too much time watching TV or playing computer games without a rest. But what can we do to protect our eyes?

Love your eyes. Every day, when we open our eyes, we can see the lovely friends and parents, beautiful flowers and green trees. It is like a house without any light. How important our eyes are!

When you use the computer for an hour or two, it is time to stop to have a 30-minute rest. At school, you need to do eye exercises. It is helpful to close your eyes for a few minutes. You can also look at green trees or grass during the break.

Have good habits. When doing homework and reading, it is important to keep a distance of 30cm between your eyes and your books. Before and after swimming, use eye drops: Eat something healthy for eyes; such as carrots, fish and eggs.

Qianhai Snow World lies in the west of Shenzhen, Bao'an District. It covers 100,000 square meters and has five ski trails (赛道). The longest one is 463 meters long with a maximum vertical (垂直的) drop of 83 meters.

With the help of the newest snow-making machines, the snow in the center is very similar to the snow in nature. That also gives a chance for local people to see the snow with their own eyes.

The center also has a Snow Club. It provides many kinds of services. For the people who firstly come here, this club offers snowboards, skiwear and many other types of equipment (设备). If you are not good at skiing, personal trainers will be ready to help in the center.

What's more, the ski center will combine (结合) camping, markets, live music, street dance, and other activities to create a fun environment for visitors of all ages.

During the National Day holiday, Qianhai Snow World attracted a huge number of tourists from different cities. Many of them enjoyed themselves there. However, some visitors complained (抱怨) that there were too many people on the trails, which may cause some "traffic accidents".

"Do you know any great artists?" Evan asks.

"I think nature is the greatest artist," Emma says.

"Why do you say that?" Evan asks.

"Do you remember the trees in autumn?" Emma says. "The leaves turn red, yellow, and orange—so many beautiful colors!"

"You're right. They are really beautiful!" answers Evan. "And the clouds are pretty too! Some look like cows, and others look like babies!"

Emma nods, "Yes! In winter, the mountains wear snowy white caps. And each snowflake (雪花) is special. Nature never makes the same thing twice!"

"Wow!" Evan says. "People take time to paint or draw, but nature creates art every day!"

"That's true," says Emma. "That's why I believe nature is the greatest artist of all!"

"Let's go and find more of nature's art!" Evan says, jumping excitedly.

They run outside. The green grass dances in the wind, birds sing high in the trees, and colourful butterflies fly among blooming flowers. Bees buzz happily over bright flowers, while the soft wind carries the sweet smell of summer. The sky above is like a large painting—deep blue with clouds that change shape slowly.

Nature's art is everywhere: alive and free. We don't need a ticket or a museum—just open eyes and a curious (好奇的) heart.

The school begins the new class for its students. In the "cooking" class, teachers don't ask students to read any books or look at the blackboard. Instead, they just instruct students how to make food step by step. For example, with the teachers' help, students make the nice Chongqing noodles. At the end of the class, students eat the noodles with their classmates.

Now more and more schools begin the "cooking" class. Students can study cooking skills at school. When they go back home, they can cook for their parents. And this makes parents very happy. They know it's important for their children to learn some life skills. "What a wonderful and interesting class for children," one parent said happily, "It doesn't just teach them how to cook. It teaches them how to take care of themselves and others, which will help them a lot in their future life."

One day, a fortuneteller (算命先生) visited their home and asked them to allow him to stay over for a night. Although the family was not2, all members welcomed him and gave him a delicious meal. During the night the family3 on the floor to provide him with the only bed. While leaving the next day, the fortuneteller told them to leave the farm and climb Mountain Li on the ninth day of the ninth lunar month and not to4 until noon.

The family followed his5 and brought chrysanthemum wine and Chongyang cakes to enjoy the trip to the mountain. However, at noon, great floods (洪水) in the valley carried away all the6 so the villagers became homeless. Then the family knew the fortuneteller7 the whole family.

This is one of the8 about the Chongyang Festival.9 this festival is a day to encourage people to show love and respect for the old people. The day is also a way to tell the old people to10 when the weather is getting a bit cold. Now young people often come back to their lonely parents and enjoy the lovely scenery of autumn.

Bally Bhamra started travelling the world at the age of 60. After working for 40 years, she decided it was her time to explore. Now in her seventies, she is ready  (visit) new and exciting places and that's what she is doing.

Instead of staying in hotels like most travellers, Bally likes to go somewhere  (interest). She often travels  village to village and stays with friendly local families. She explains, "I go into villages, stay with the local people, understand  (they) way of life, and appreciate (欣赏) that. I do their gardening in the sun, and I also wash their  (dish). I'm not just a traveller; I'm probably more like  member of their family." In Namibia, she once stayed in a place without running water or toilets, but she still felt happy. She even travelled across rivers and  (spend) two days on a wooden boat with no seats!

Bally doesn't feel like  (explore) with others, and people often ask her why. "Travelling alone gives me freedom," she says. Bally believes that if a man can do something, a woman can do it too!

 capable (能力强的) Bally is! , travelling alone is dangerous sometimes. Does she ever feel afraid? "No," she says. "And danger is everywhere, even in my house." Travelling alone makes Bally feel really happy! She wants to show other old women and girls that they should never let age or fear (害怕) stop them from going out into the world.

The Broken Vase

There once was a girl named Lily who had a  (鲜艳的，聪明的) idea for a science project. She believed her project would score a perfect ten, leaving her competitors (竞争对手) at  (零). However, one day, she accidentally knocked over and broke a beautiful vase while rushing through the  (大门) at home. Looking at the broken pieces, she saw only hopeless  (洞，孔) where her success should be. 

Her father  (警告) her about being careless, but he stopped when he saw her tears. "I'm (已经) a failure," Lily cried. She felt like a bad  (女演员) in a play, pretending she was okay. Her father, however, looked  (高兴). "Don't worry how much it  (价格为，需支付)," he said softly. "Look closer."

He showed her how the cracks (裂缝) made unique patterns. "In Japan," he explained, "there is an art called Kintsugi (金缮), where they repair broken pottery with gold, making it more beautiful. Your mistakes don't define you; how you repair them does."

This idea is  (普遍的，广泛的) true in life. Lily learned that our weakness and repairs can become our greatest strengths, making us uniquely beautiful.

In our English class last week, our teacher showed us a video on WeChat Channels named "This Perspective-taking (换位思考) Experiment Silenced the Whole Class". This video left a 1 impression (印象) on me. 

The video started with a simple experiment. The teacher placed a ball on the table and asked two students to describe its 2 . One said it was white, 3 the other insisted (坚持) it was black. They argued, thinking the other was completely wrong. Then, the teacher asked them to change their positions. Surprisingly, their opinions 4 immediately. "You see." the teacher said, "you were both right, just looking from different 5 ." In fact, the ball has 6 colors, with one side white and the other black. This simple experiment made everyone in the class fall 7 , including me. 

8 watching this video, I found it hard to 9 my classmates. I often had different opinions with them, but didn't know how to 10 clearly. Therefore, I seldom understood them and even argued with them. For example, during a group project, I once strongly believed my idea was the 11 and didn't listen to others. 12 , our group work didn't go well. However, I thought my classmates made mistakes. But after this experiment, I realize that everyone has their own opinions and strengths. 13 I consider right may not be the same for others. 

This video taught me a valuable lesson: putting 14 in others' shoes can help us better understand others and 15 our friendship.

Chinese people have been celebrating Mid-Autumn Festival and enjoying mooncakes for centuries. Mooncakes have the shape of a full moon on mid-autumn night. 

There are many traditional folk stories about this festival. However, most people think that the story of Chang'e is the most touching. Chang'e was Hou Yi's beautiful wife.  Whoever drank this could live forever, and Hou Yi planned to drink it with Chang'e. However, a bad man, Feng Meng, tried to steal the medicine when Hou Yi was not home. Chang'e refused to give it to him and drank it all.  Hou Yi was so sad that he called out her name to the moon every night. One night, he found that the moon was so bright and round that he could see his wife there.  How he wished that Chang'e could come back! 

After this, people started the tradition of admiring the moon and sharing mooncakes with their families. 

How do you usually celebrate Mid-Autumn Festival? (No more than 15 words) 

In Chongqing China, a new robot named Peipei is helping take care of the elderly. Peipei works at a centre for old people. She is kind, careful, and a good listener. People there say she's a friendly helper.

Peipei is very smart. She can tell if someone is sad or not sleeping well. She says kind things to make them happy. Grandma Wang, an old woman at the centre, likes talking to Peipei. They often play games and take photos together. Peipei can even make the photos look nice! When Grandma Wang misses her granddaughter, Peipei tells her that she will give her a call soon.

Peipei's name sounds like the word "陪". It means "to keep you company". With the help of AI technology (人工智能技术), Peipei can understand people's feelings and give the elderly better care.

Taking care of the elderly is not easy. Nurses can't always be with everyone. But Peipei can be there all day and night to help. She can help old people learn about robots and new technology, too. Many of them are now curious about how robots work and want to learn more.

Besides helping at the centre, Peipei also joins group activities like singing and storytelling. She never gets tired, so she can always be there when someone needs company. Peipei can also remind people to take their medicine and drink water. She even tells fun stories to make them smile. These small things make a big difference in the lives of the elderly.

There are many old people in Chongqing. That's why the city is using robots like Peipei to help. In the future, robots like Peipei may be in more places to care for the elderly.
