Fun Horse Idioms (习语)

The year 2026 is the Year of the Horse. In Chinese culture, the horse means energy, speed and success. People often say "ma dao cheng gong" to wish others success.

For example, if someone is in a hurry or acts too quickly, we can gently tell him "hold your horses". It's a way to ask them to calm down and think twice before doing something.

If news comes "straight from the horse's mouth", that means it is first-hand information and it's very truthful.

When a person — like a student, an athlete or a competitor — does much better than people expect and surprises everyone, we call him a "dark horse". We often use this word in exams, sports games and competitions.

When we get gifts from others, we are supposed to be happy for whatever we receive. We should always thank others' kindness, and never "look a gift horse in the mouth".

Besides, we need to do things in the right order and plan well. If we do things in the wrong order or care about unimportant things first, we   "put the cart before the horse".

These horse idioms are fun to learn and they are useful in daily communication. In the Year of the Horse, let's learn from the horse's energy. Keep working and achieving success.

One of the most famous parts of TCM is herbs. For example, if we cough, TCM-trained doctors might give us tea made from herbs, which can help our throat feel better. Another part of TCM is acupuncture. Acupuncture uses thin needles (针) that are gently put into our skin. Though it may sound scary, it's not painful at all. Besides these, TCM also values a balanced lifestyle and healthy eating habits. TCM doctors believe these good habits can help people stay healthy and avoid getting sick.

_________. A TCM hospital in Heihe, Heilongjiang Province, has become a popular place for Russian patients. A Russian woman, Yelena, had back problems for years. She felt much better after only two TCM treatments, and she now deeply believes in TCM. To serve the needs of its growing international patients, the hospital now has a medical team of doctors who can speak both Chinese and Russian. Russian patients can make appointments (预约) online with their passports and get medical help during their visit. Besides Russia, other countries also show great interest in TCM. For example, a Canadian college is partnering with a TCM hospital in Sanya to set up a new treatment center.

TCM is not only for patients, more and more young people in cities are developing a love for TCM. Some hospitals offer herbal tea to help people lose weight. In Shanghai, TCM ice cream is an unexpected hit with young people. Also, many young people are learning to do exercises like Baduanjin from social media videos to stay fit.

②"Will I see a shooting star tonight, Grandma?" I asked.

③"There are too many lights tonight, Judy." Grandma said, "Time for bed and I hear dreams calling." Then, she kissed my hair and put me to bed.

④When I woke up the next morning, I smelled buttermilk biscuits. My favourite! "Your shooting stars came for breakfast," Grandma smiled. In her hands was a plate of star-shaped biscuits, each with a lovely little tail. My eyes went wide, and then they filled with something shining.

⑤When I got home from school that afternoon, Grandma was cooking in the kitchen. I told her something about school. "Sarah saw a rainbow on her way to school. Ben got the last cookie from the dining hall... Will I see a shooting star tonight?" I asked again, still full of hope.

⑥"The night isn't over yet. Go to the balcony and wait," Grandma smiled softly.

⑦After dinner, I couldn't find Grandma anywhere. I went to the balcony alone, staring at the dark sky and still hoping to see a shooting star.

⑧Suddenly, the sky was lit up. I nearly shouted out. A shooting star? But then—boom—gold sparks (火花) danced above me and fell slowly. It was fireworks! Before I could catch my breath, another followed, a shining blue, then a red, painting the quiet night with bright colors.

⑨My heart jumped with joy and wonder. When I turned around, I saw Grandma standing in the doorway, with an empty firework box in her left hand. "Do you like the shooting stars tonight?" She smiled.

⑩At that very moment, I realized: I may not be "lucky" in the traditional way, but I know I AM truly lucky.

Have you noticed what these words for "mother" have in common? Well, they all have a sound close to "m." In the same way, the words for "father" almost all have the sound "b" or "p". There are over 7,000 languages around the world. The words for most other things are usually very different from one language to another. But why are the words for "mother" and "father" so similar?

The answer lies in how babies start to talk. The easiest sound a baby can make is "ah." A baby can make this sound without using his tongue or lips (嘴唇). Then, if he wants to change the sound a little bit, the easiest way is to break it up by closing his lips for a while. And so, the baby ends up with the sound "mah." Babies are just playing while "speaking" in this way.

However, adults, don't hear them that way. When a baby says "mah mah," it sounds as if he is calling someone. And the person that the baby usually calls so early in life is his mother. The mother takes "mah" as a name for her. And when speaking to her child, she calls herself "mama." Gradually, the sound "mama" comes to mean "mother." This happens with human babies all over the world.

After babies learn to make "m" with their lips, they often put their lips together to produce the sound "bah" or "pah." When they make this sound, it is thought they are calling their second closest caretaker: their father.

That's why you call your mother "mama," and your father "baba." You have been doing this ever since you started to make sounds.

Chimelong Ocean Kingdom（长隆海洋王国）is a great place for sea animal lovers. Many people go to visit it every year. There are some Chinese white dolphins.

How much do you know about Chinese white dolphins? Chinese white dolphins are not really white. They are grey when they are young. The colour is pink when they are old. Chinese white dolphins have a long life. They usually live up to 40 years old. What's their favourite food?Fish.

However, the Chinese white dolphins are in danger. Now there are about 6,000 Chinese white dolphins in the world. The number of them is small, so they are called"giant（巨大的）pandas of the sea".Why is the number of them so small? Well, some people kill them for meat and other things. And they don't have much food to eat because of people's activities on the sea. To protect（保护）them, people do a lot these years. People think Chinese    white dolphins can bring good luck to them.

Qingming is a festival for Chinese people to remember their lost family members. It has a history of over 2,500 years. It 46 falls on April 4th or April 5th. At this time of the year, spring 47 and the weather becomes warm.

People eat cold food during this festival. The tradition comes  a story about Jie Zitui in the Spring and Autumn Period（春秋时期）。

Jie saved his hungry emperor's（君主）life by cutting meat from his own leg. The emperor, Jinwengong, was later able to take power（权力）and would like  Jie.  , Jie didn't care about power or money. He still lived in the mountain s with  mother.

The emperor tried to drive Jie out of the mountains by starting a fire. It was very  for Jie to stay. In the end, both Jie and Jie's mom died in the fire. The emperor was so sad that he ordered all his people must not  fire and could only eat cold food on this day to remember Jie.

Qingming is one of the Chinese 24 solar terms（节气）,too. It is the best time for spring outing and spring farming. People always go out for fresh air and all kinds of sports , like flying kites and taking a walk outdoors. Spring outing is good to keep us . Farmers are busy with their work. They hope to get a good harvest（收获）in autumn.

If you often have a cold, headache（头痛）or backache（背痛）, there is something wrong with your health. Eating health y food 1 good for your health. Tofu, milk and vegetables are healthy for you.

Tofu is a kind of common（普通的） 2 food. We often 3 it in China. Now more and more people 4 other countries think tofu is good for health, 5 . They also like eating it.

Milk is 6 kind of health y food. Every day you should 7 one or two glasses of milk. It can keep you 8 .

Vegetables are very important. You should eat 9 them; they are nutritious（有营养的）. As we all know, it's important to keep a balanced diet（均衡饮食）. We must have the right kinds of food. We should also eat some pork, chicken and beef. We should eat more fruit and vegetables 10 less meat.

Singapore is a small country known for its strict（严格的）rules. .

Don't Litter.

Singapore tries hard to keep the country clean. Everyone must throw their litter in a bin, not on the ground.  .

Don't Take Durians（榴莲）on Public Transport.

Another interesting rule in Singapore is about a fruit called durian. Durians have a very strong smell, and many people really don't like them. . Because of this, people must not take durians on buses or trains.

Don't Chew Gum（嚼口香糖）。

In Singapore, people can't buy or sell chewing gum. This is because chewing gum is very sticky（黏糊糊的） and messy when people throw it away. Singapore made a new law that said people mustn't chew gum.

If you visit Singapore, be careful where you cross the road. Look for a pedestrian crossing（人行横道）—a safe place to cross. If there is one near, you must use it. You can't cross the road in any other place. You can get a $50 fine if you do.

In general, Singapore's rules make it a clean and safe place. When everyone follows the rules, it makes the country a better place for everyone.

In China, there are many different kinds of food. Some of them are popular. Among (在……之中) them, dumplings are the real Chinese food.

Everyone in China likes dumplings very much, and there are many different kinds of dumplings. Some have beef and beans in them, and some have eggs and carrots in them. But I love eating dumplings with cabbage and pork(猪肉).

Usually people make dumplings at home. When you have no time to make them, you can buy them in a supermarket. Then you take them home and eat them with vinegar(醋).

The Spring Festival is very important in China. When it comes, we make dumplings, and usually we put a coin(硬币) in a dumpling. Someone eats the dumpling with the coin in it, and he will be lucky in the new year.

Most people love animals because they are useful in many ways. They bring more fun to our life.

We find many different kinds of animals on the earth. Some animals, like leopards（豹子）, wolves, pandas and foxes live in big forests. We call them wild（野生的）animals. Most of them are dangerous. Some others like cows and dogs live with men. We call them domestic（驯养的）animals.

Animals are important to men. Men kill wild animals for fur and meat. Skins（皮肤）of foxes and crocodiles （鳄鱼）can be made into coats and shoes. People are now stopped from killing wild animals in order to protect（保 护） their lives. Domestic animals can not only give men food, but also help men with some farm work. There isn't so much fun in life, if there are no animals. People get meat from sheep and pigs. From cows, we get milk. Horses can take us to other places. Animals also help farmers a lot on farms.

It is important that men need to live with animals. Let's protect animals. They are our best friends.
