1、Meng Xiang was crazy about films and music during his childhood. When he started college, he dreamed to make films that could combine his love for storytelling and interest in music.
His biggest challenge came when he planned to make a film about a tennis player. Since no one would offer him money for a 2-hour film, Meng and his college friends tried to make a shorter one. They bought a second-hand camera and used old things instead of expensive equipment. They even made a shelf on their own to support the camera.
Meng and his friends worked hard, rain or shine. When filming the tennis player, they ran after him in the summer sun. If it rained and they couldn't film outside, they hung bed sheets (床单) on the walls in an empty room to set up a simple studio (摄影棚). This 12-minute film got much attention. The teachers and students in their college liked the music they created for it.
After that, Meng had another idea: to make a musical film. But musicals weren't popular in college, and many said it wouldn't work. Instead of listening to the doubts, Meng and his team spent weeks writing new songs and making a test video. To film the moving scenes, they fixed a smartphone on a skateboard and pushed it. The actors' hair was blowing in the wind while they were dancing and singing. The loud voice and laughter of the team filled the air.
Their musical film was well received and won several awards at a film festival. As Meng said, "Making films isn't about having the best equipment or famous actors. It's about finding new ways to tell your story. Our team is planning to make a special documentary about the environment. And I can't wait to write music for it."

19、One of the things children and parents may worry about at the start of the new school year is making friends. This could be true for children starting or changing schools or simply going back to a new year with different class arrangements.
Help your child build confidence.
Some children find it harder to make friends than others. If your child is shy, they may find it hard to meet new people.You don't have to make ten best friends all at once! Making friends takes time and even just one or two good friends can make a big difference.
Research shows it's important for parents to offer encouragement and guidance about friendships. This can lead to better quality friendships as children grow up. Parents can start to talk to their child about the importance of friendships from a young age.
Encourage your child to talk.
Younger children view friends as somebody you can play with, while older children see friends as people they can trust and can share feelings and thoughts with. Research shows, parents can also help this transition (转变) with advice and encouragement. Encourage your child to express their feelings and talk about what happens at school, so you can work out things together.
Encourage active listening.
You can also encourage your child to be a good and supportive friend.This is about understanding what someone is saying, not simply "hearing" what is said. You can suggest your child takes a deep breath and lets the other child finish what they are trying to say, instead of interrupting (打断) and talking over people.
A. Listen carefully to your child.
B. Let them know it is OK to start small.
C. Talk about the importance of friendship.
D. One way to do this is by being an active listener.
E. How can you make friends in a new environment?
F. How can parents talk to their kids about making friends?
G. Over time, children's understanding of friendships changes.

20、Slang (俚语) words are specific words or phrases that have a cultural meaning that is different from the basic meaning. For example, when you "keep your cool", you are not talking about the temperature. You are saying that you will stay calm under pressure.
Cool slang changes all the time. Some slang examples, like "what's up?", have been around so long that they have become idioms (习语), or common expressions where the meaning of certain word combinations (组合) are really different from their basic meaning. An example of an idiom is "out of the blue" to show something that happened without warning.
Other slang words are popular, or come from new music, TV, or movies, and are only used for a short time. Knowing how and when to use slang words or college slang will help you connect with and better understand American students.
As a general rule, you can use popular words and phrases now with your friends and classmates, but should use more formal English when speaking to professors and co-workers. If you use today's slang in more formal settings, like at work, people might see you as rude (粗鲁的) or unprofessional.
Pop culture and youth culture tend to create new slang words and trends (趋势). Historically, that meant that the TV shows, pop and hip-hop music, movies, and video games popular with kids, teens, and young adults influenced today's slang. While those forms of media still shape new slang words and cool slang, young people now tend to spend more time online — and with that change, the Internet, and especially social media, drive most of American slang in 2025.
While the Internet and pop culture have created common slang words around the country, keep in mind that different areas of the country may use different slang words. Wherever you decide to study, you'll quickly hear the local slang — and it may even become part of your own vocabulary!
(1)、Why is slang said to help students connect?A、It shows respect. B、It breaks language walls. C、It sounds funny. D、It follows grammar rules.(2)、What could happen if you use slang the wrong way?A、It can show language skills. B、It may confuse friends. C、It helps people build trust. D、It could seem impolite.(3)、What can we know about slang usage across different places?A、It varies by location. B、It's only used online. C、It's hard to learn. D、It remains unchanged over time.(4)、What is the best title for the text?A、The History of American Slang B、Slang: Cultural Meaning and Modern Trends C、How to Use Slang Correctly in Formal Settings D、The Differences Between Slang and Idioms
