Young basketball lover Song Yihong is one of them. The 11-year-old boy started to learn basketball at the age of 5 because he wanted to grow taller.

Through basketball, he knew better about his strengths and weaknesses. "I'm good at shooting (投篮), and some of my teammates are good at breaking through (突破)," Song said. "Different strengths make us a team."

Song also said that training is quite hard and he often gets injuries. But after that, he gains more power. "Now I am more capable of facing any difficulty in life," he said.

Sun Yue, a former (之前的) Chinese basketball player, is now a coach at LI-NINGYOUNG Basketball School. In the talk with teens, he was happy that basketball is popular in China and that teenagers love basketball. But he said there's a long way to go. "Teenage players in China don't have training with a unified (统一的) standard," Sun said. Sun hopes more players with international experience could help to bring back the best ways of training and playing.

Many places in China see the spreading of the Canada goldenrod (一枝黄花). It's a bright yellow flower from North America. The flower is beautiful, but it is hurting China's environment.

According to the Ministry of Ecology and Environment, the flower first came to China in 1935 as an ornamental plant (观赏植物). In the 1980s, it started to spread to many places. In 2010, China named it as an alien invasive species (外来入侵物种).

As an invasive species, there are few plants and animals to stop it. So, it spreads very fast and causes other plants around it to die. Chinese people call it "the flower of the devil". It is now mostly spreading in Jiangsu, Hubei, Henan and Zhejiang provinces.

If you see this flower on the street, please call 12345 to report it. Then, experts (专家) will come to kill it. Let's look after our environment together!
