Have you ever watched the famous Disney movie Tangled (《魔发奇缘》), which tells the sweet and lovely story of Princess Rapunzel with long, magical golden hair?

Elsie Kennedy, 14, from Australia, loved Rapunzel very much, so she grew her hair down to her waist from a young age. She hoped that her hair could be used to make a warm and comfortable wig (假发) for a child fighting cancer (癌症).

" Now I'm excited to get a new look, and I'm glad my hair will help others a lot," Kennedy said. She got her first-ever haircut at her school, the Scone Grammar School, in early 2024. Wigs 4 Kids is a kind and helpful program run by Kids with Cancer Foundation in Australia.

She wanted more students to know about those kids. That was why she had her hair cut publicly at the school. Students were then encouraged to wear purple clothes or donate money to show their warmth and support. Kennedy chose purple because it is Rapunzel's special and favorite color.

By January 2025, Kennedy had raised over 11,000 dollars. "To know that my movement will help kids and families going through a really hard time is amazing," she said.

A. I've never cut my hair so short before.

B. After that, she gave her hair to Wigs 4 Kids.

C. Students had different views on her special haircut.

D. She always wears a beautiful purple dress in the movie.

E. Kennedy also tried to raise money for other kids with cancer.

F. However, her reason for keeping her long hair changed as she grew up.

The book was on my reading list when I was in primary school in Poland. It was quite a thick book. But once I started, I couldn't put it down, even reading under my blanket (毯子) with a flashlight past bedtime.

Pippi lives alone in a house called Villa Villekulla. To me, she is a great example of strength and independence. In a world full of rules, Pippi always has the courage to be odd. She doesn't follow any rules, she doesn't go to school, and she lives with a horse and a monkey. She cooks, cleans and manages her money. She is so strong that she can even lift her own horse!

In one chapter, Pippi's friends, Tommy and Annika, ask her to try going to school for a day. It doesn't go well. Pippi doesn't know how to do basic math, and when it is time to draw, she makes a huge picture of her horse on the floor because a piece of paper isn't big enough.

Even though Pippi is a bit crazy and very different, I still like how Tommy and Annika accept her. They want to join her on her adventures. They show that true friendship grows on respect and shared joy. The book is also a call to accept your differences. For anyone feeling worried about being themselves, Pippi's world reminds us that creativity and kindness matter more than fitting in (合群).

In Guangzhou, 310 students from Yuyan Middle School enjoyed a five-day spring break in March. With teachers staying with them, they looked into history and science at sites like the Museum of Dr Sun Yat-sen and the Hong Kong-Zhuhai-Macao Bridge. In Zhuhai Aerospace Land, some even tried hands-on science experiments, like building small model rockets and watching stars in the sky through telescopes. "While others are stuck in classrooms, we're out enjoying ourselves and learning new things," one of the students said happily.

Yin Xianwen, the head teacher of the school, sees it as a great way to learn. "Watching plants grow is a lesson in nature, visiting historical sites is a history lesson, and traveling together is a lesson in social skills," Yin told People's Daily. "It offers students the chance to get valuable growth experiences during the most beautiful season."

Also, spending the spring break with families is encouraged. It makes family ties stronger through fun activities like easy trips or park visits. Children can get away from heavy homework and endless exams and feel closer to their families.

However, there are some challenges. Not all parents can take time off. when their kids do, so some children may end up staying home and playing on their phones for hours. Schools also need to find a way to fit all their lessons into the new schedule without rushing. To make these breaks work well, the government, schools, parents and communities need to work together, noted People's Daily.

How does AI do this? First, workers take clear digital pictures of the old pages. Then, the AI system studies these pictures carefully. It looks at the words around the empty spaces and guesses what the missing words might be. This helps to complete the book digitally without touching the original one, which could be easily damaged.

Once a book is digitally repaired, it can be transformed into an e-book or added to an online database.    ▲   . For example, a student living in a small village can now read a special old book online. Before, he might have to travel to a big city library to see it.

AI can also help organize these digital books. It can sort them by their topics, time, or writers. This makes it much easier for students and teachers to find the information they need quickly.

Using AI to save old books is a new and good way to protect our history. It serves as a powerful bridge connecting the past with the future, ensuring that the wisdom and stories contained in these old books will not be forgotten and will continue to teach people in the future.

One year, as Father's Day was coming up, David's wife and kids wanted to do something2 for him. They knew he worked hard and hardly took3 , so they decided to plan a surprise weekend holiday to a nearby lake.

They prepared everything they needed for the4 , including David's favourite snacks and games. As they drove to the lake, David had no idea what his family had planned for him. When they got to the lake, a lovely house with trees all around it5 them. David was so surprised!

They spent the weekend fishing, swimming and having fun together. As the sun set on the last day of their trip, David's family gathered around him. They gave him a small6 —a picture frame (相框) with a photo of them all together at the lake.

David was so touched. He realized that his family was the most7 part of his life. He had missed out on a lot by working too much, and he felt a little8 about that.

From then on, David started to spend more time with his family. He left work early, had dinner with his family and9 his kids. He even spared time to attend his kids' school events. He10 that being a good father wasn't just about buying his kids what they needed, but also about being present in their lives.

Susan Cain was a shy girl. She always had a hard time talking with new people. But when she grew up, she became a reporter(记者).  But Susan thought that her shyness made her a better reporter. "Being shy makes me more believable -- people feel more comfortable around me," she said.

Some people are not shy when they are with their friends.  So why are some people shy?

Scientists once did a study on two - month - old babies. They found that of every five babies, one was very active(活跃的).  And one of every five babies was always quiet. These babies might be shy when they grew up.

Family also affects(影响)shyness.  Studies show that children who are shy usually have parents that have fewer friends and fewer family activities.

People who are outgoing are sometimes more successful. Shy people may feel that they have a disadvantage(缺点). But shyness can be an advantage.  They are good friends because they listen more than they talk. This can also make them successful.

● Always wear your most comfortable clothes when going on long journeys.

●Always take a camera with you to capture some special places. The photos will keep the beautiful scenery.

●Be careful with your things whenever you go to busy places, like a train station. There are often thieves there!
