Today, the hot pot is one of the most popular forms of cooking in China, and nearly every town and city has some hot pot restaurants. Some people might ask how hot pot becomes so popular. With a hot pot, you can put in any food that you like. The same pot can serve any number of different meals to the people sitting around the table. Everyone can eat as much as they want and no one is left out. This is one of the values of Chinese culture. Finally, not only does hot pot taste wonderful, but it is the perfect way to spend time with others.

In China, people often joke that there's no problem that a hot pot can't solve. Over a hot pot, people can talk about not just food, but friendship. The food may soon be forgotten, but the friendship will stay with us forever. Even today, I remember all the good times I spent with my friends in Chongqing.

One day, a kind man gave Fred a large bowl of rice. Fred didn't eat up the rice in one go. He put the remaining（剩余的）rice on the table. He lay on his bed and kept an eye on it. After a while, Fred fell asleep and had a dream. He dreamed that there was a famine（饥荒）in his village. He sold his remaining rice and got some money. He used the money to buy a pair of goats（山羊）. His goats had kids in months, so he got more goats. He sold some goats and became rich. He bought a large house. He fell in love with a beautiful lady and they got married.

Fred dreamed that he was dancing with his wife. He felt so excited that he kicked in air and his leg hit the bowl on the table. The bowl with rice dropped and broke into pieces. The noise woke him up. At once, Fred realized that he had been dreaming. He also realized that he could get nothing if he didn't make a change. Then he decided to get rid of his laziness. Soon he found a job and worked hard.

I often hear some students say English is difficult, and it gives them a headache. So they can't learn it well. But English is very easy for me. I'm good at it. I'm very glad to tell you something about how I study English.

First, I think an interest in English is very important. When I was in Grade One, we had a new subject—English. It was fresh for me. I was interested in it, so I worked hard at it. Soon we had an English exam and I got a very good mark. How happy I was! After that, I learned English harder and harder. Our English teacher often teaches us English songs. The songs sound nice. I often think how interesting English is!

Second, I think English is a foreign language. I should learn it well in the following ways: Listen to the teacher carefully, speak bravely, read aloud and have a good vocabulary (词汇) . Then practice again and again, never be tired. And I also have a good habit: Asking whenever I have a question, I must make it clear by asking our English teacher. How happy I am when I understand!

Besides this, I often read English stories, jokes and easy novels. From these I know English is not only interesting, but also useful. They help me understand a lot of things. So to do more reading is an important way to learn English well.

And I also do some exercises from our class magazines, and I often write English diaries. English has become a close friend of mine.

Now I have learned English for more than two years. I always keep the first position in our school. From these words, I hope every student can learn English well.

In the past few years, cars have become smarter and smarter. In more than nine cities, there are driverless taxis in China. Across the world, many smart roads have been in practice.

Roads that recharge (给电池充电)

With the right technologies, cars around the word could be producing energy as they go on the road.

Piezoelectric (压电的) roads mix traditional asphalt (柏油) with new materials. They use vibrations (震动) from passing cars to produce electricity. Piezoelectricity, in fact, is nothing new. It was invented in 1880. However, it has never been widely used before now. Lancaster University is going to change that. It has been improving the technology, including developing roadside batteries that can store electricity.

Roads that have brains

Roads of the future may be able to know how many people are on them. They could send people updates on weather and traffic situations, and recharge electric cars as they drive.

This seems to be a dream, but a company has almost made it come true. By sensing the weight of a vehicle, the company's smart roads can record the speed of each wheel. After having collected traffic data (数据) , the roads will send it to the drivers.

Roads that never freeze

A tech company has developed the snowless roads. The development is useful because driving in snowy weather can be dangerous. When they feel snow or ice on their surfaces, the roads will heat themselves up so that the snow or ice will turn into water and get dry gradually. The project has been successfully tested on a few roads and in some car parks.

Self-awareness is an ability to see yourself clearly. You may know that you love playing an instrument because you're good at it, and music makes you happy. Or you know you prefer watching TV on your own because it helps you relax. And it also means understanding how your thoughts, feelings and behaviour can influence other people.

Knowing what you like, dislike and more about yourself allows you to be wise about friendship, schoolwork and social life. It helps build confidence. Being self-aware doesn't mean only thinking of yourself. By understanding your own feelings, you have more understanding of other people, too.

A good way to learn about anything is to ask questions. Ask yourself questions that start with "What" instead of "Why". So if you don't understand why you keep arguing with a friend, ask yourself what you disagree on instead of why you're arguing. If you're wondering whether you like a book, ask yourself what were the last three books you loved and what you liked about them. To recognize your own likes and dislikes is a good way to learn more about yourself.

Learning to be more self-aware is a skill, and this means you learn it as you grow. So don't be afraid of taking risks. And encourage yourself to try out new things, like playing a new sport or listening to different music. Learn more about yourself and bring out the best in you.

When Dillen, a professor at Leiden University, and her workmates do studies in the Netherlands, they find that about 70% ~ 75% of people do other things while eating. This habit may be bad for our health. The studies show that when we don't focus on eating, we often eat more and feel hungry again sooner. Over time, this can lead to putting on weight.

Why does this happen? When eating, it usually takes our bodies 20 minutes to send "full" signals to the brain. But if we're distracted, our brains are too weak to notice these signals well. We can't feel how full we are and may not taste food properly when these signals are not received. In one study, some people were asked to drink sweet water while working out tasks (任务) in a brain scanner (扫描仪). When the tasks were hard, they felt the sweet water was less sugary. Another study in 2021 also found playing difficult games made food smell weaker. Not enjoying food fully makes us unhappy. A study in 2024 showed people enjoyed fun activities less when distracted. To feel better, they might eat more.

So putting down your phone during meals could help you eat less and enjoy more!

"Look," the old man said, "do you see that fern (蕨类植物) and bamboo there?"

"Yes," the man answered.

"When I planted the fern and bamboo seed, I watered them carefully. Within a few days, the fern quickly grew from the land," the old man went on. "However, I watered the bamboo seed for years. It still didn't sprout. But I didn't give up and continued looking after it. In the fifth year, a small sprout came out of the land. Within six months, the tree grew a hundred feet tall."

"The little bamboo tree had been growing underground in the past four years, developing a root strong enough for its ground growth in the following year. If it hadn't done this, it would not be so strong. So you know, all the time you were struggling, you were actually growing strong roots," the old man said. Finally, the man thanked the old man deeply. Then he left the forest with the hope for life.

(Lucy and Tom met at school on Monday morning, talking about their weekend activities)

T: Hi, Lucy! How was your weekend?

L: It was great, thanks!

T:

L: Yes, I did something special. I visited the new city museum with my cousin.

T: Really? I heard it's amazing.

L: It's much bigger and more modern than the old one. We learned a lot about the history of our city.

T: That sounds wonderful.

L: Yes, we did. The food there was good, but there were more people than we expected, so it was a little noisy in the dining hall.

T: I see. My weekend was quieter than yours.

L: Staying at home can be relaxing too. By the way, could you lend me your notes from the science class on Friday?

T: I'll bring them to you after this class.

It's common for parents to compare their children with other kids. While they might mean well, it can make you feel sad or even angry. So, how should you deal with this situation?

Understand their purposes.

Most parents compare because they want you to improve. They believe that others' success will encourage you. So, try to understand their purposes. Ask yourself: are they really criticizing (批评) me, or just hoping I'll do better?

Communicate calmly.

If comparisons get you down, talk to your parents in a respectful way. For example, you can say, "I know you want me to succeed, but when you compare me with others, I feel like I'm not good enough." This helps them understand your feelings without starting an argument.

Turn comparisons into motivation (激励).

If your parents praise (称赞) some people, ask yourself what you can learn from them. Maybe they study efficiently, practise more, or use time more wisely. Get into their good habits, and you will do better next time.

Build self-confidence.

Write down your strengths—maybe you're creative, kind, or brave. When your parents compare, think of what makes you special. With the confidence, you will not care too much about unhelpful comparisons.

Parents' comparisons can be hard, but you can deal with them wisely. Remember, you are not defined (定义) by others' success-your progress is what truly matters.
