Differences help us learn.

He told me about his country's food and festivals. I learned more from him than from a book! When we accept differences, we discover new things.

In families or groups, different skills help everyone. For example, my friend's mum is good at communicating with others, and her dad plans amazing trips. Together, they make a great team!

Accepting doesn't always mean liking.

How can you be more accepting?

First, listen like an explorer. Ask questions without judging (判断). If a classmate wears unique (独特的) clothes, try asking. "Where did you get that shirt? It looks cool!" Second, treat others how you want to be treated (被对待). Do the same for others and you'll build stronger friendships.

Differences are like colours in a painting By accepting others, we learn, grow, and create a kinder world together.

A. Differences make teams stronger.

B. Each one makes the world brighter.

C. Let's take two best friends as an example.

D. Last year, I met a taxi driver from Venezuela.

E. Remember how happy you feel when someone accepts you.

Xiaolongbao, also called steamed buns, is very popular in China. Many people love it for its soft skin (外皮), tasty fillings (馅), and fresh soup.

When it comes to Xiaolongbao, a lot of people easily connect it with Hangzhou, an important city in Zhejiang. They believe it is the birthplace of the food. Actually, the real birthplace of Xiaolongbao is Shengzhou. The city is about 120 kilometers southeast of Hangzhou. Here's how the misunderstanding started.

Long ago, the owner of the first Xiaolongbao restaurant in Shengzhou wanted to draw more customers. Since Hangzhou was already famous at the time, he planned to write "Hangzhou Xiaolongbao" on his signboard. This trick worked, and more people came to his shop to try the snack. When the other shop owners saw this, they did the same thing. That's why the name "Hangzhou" is still connected with the food today.

Now, around 50,000 people from Shengzhou run over 20,000 Xiaolongbao shops across China, making fresh, handmade buns every day. But the process takes time and needs much work. To save time, some shop owners turn to new machines to make frozen (冷冻的) Xiaolongbao. These frozen buns travel to supermarkets and homes across China, so everyone can enjoy Shengzhou's special snack at any time.

One Friday, Randy and Jack came to the playground to play badminton. Jack was much better at badminton than Randy. After about half an hour, Randy said to Jack, "Oh, I need to take a rest. I have to say that you are really good at this game." Their classmate Nick heard this. He laughed out loud and said, "Randy, that's because you are really bad at the sport. I am the best of the three of us." Then, he asked Jack if he would like to play with him. Jack said, "OK." Then, the two began to play.

As a tall boy, Nick showed great skills at playing badminton. It was not easy for Jack to win, but still, he won the game. To Jack's surprise, Nick said, "I can win if I have a racket as good as yours." However, Jack didn't think so. He said, "Let's swap rackets to play again."

Unluckily for Nick, he still lost the game. This time round, Nick had no excuses. He lowered his head and planned to leave. However, Jack went over to him, saying, "Do not be sad. You are a skilled (熟练的) player too." Hearing this, Nick learnt that he should not be too proud because there would always be somebody better than him.

David f to communicate with anyone about it, because he was very shy. He felt so lost all the time. Sensing his unhappiness, his elder sister decided to have a talk with him.

Putting things off is a common trouble for many middle school students. With piles of schoolwork and after-school activities, it's easy to feel anxious and push things to later. Soon, you may fall behind in classes, and your grades might drop. According to the experts, there are some effective ways to fight it.

First of all, break big tasks into tiny and manageable steps. A huge project can feel as scary as climbing a mountain. But if you divide it into small parts, it becomes much easier. Just tell yourself, "Today, I'll pick a topic and write one paragraph." Tomorrow, you can do some research and add another section. Finally, the "mountain" will be overcome before you know it.

Besides the "tiny steps" method, the "work-and-rest" trick also helps a lot. Set a timer for 25 minutes—during this time, focus fully on your work. During the period, you can have a snack, walk around your room, or stretch your legs freely. This short rest lets your brain refresh, and it's easier to keep going once you start again. Put your mobile phones away and find a quiet spot where you can focus.

What's more, treat yourself to something small after finishing a task, like listening to your favourite song or eat a piece of candy. These little rewards keep you motivated. Be patient with yourself-even small progress is progress. Finally, you'll surely see the payoff of your hard work.

A. Then take a five-minute break.

B. Also, stay away from what pulls your attention.

C. For example, you've got to write a five-page paper.

D. But if you keep putting them off, they can snowball.

E. Change doesn't happen overnight, so stick to it every day.

In fact, a 2015 study showed that nearly 70% of Americans wash their chicken before cooking. However, since the 1990s, experts from the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) have advised people not to do this. They state that rather than reducing the risk of foodborne illness, washing raw meat makes it more likely to spread bacteria (细菌) around the kitchen, which may make people sick.

"Washing meat before cooking isn't really helpful," says Betty Feng, a food science professor at Purdue University. "The only thing it does is splashing (飞溅) water and can spread bacteria to other places in your kitchen—like your sink and your clothes." Moreover, Feng strongly disagrees with using saltwater, vinegar, or lemon juice, because they are not strong enough to kill bacteria. "If the acidity (酸度) is high enough to kill bacteria, you wouldn't be able to touch it with your hands," she explains.

A recent study also found that placing meat in a bowl of water reduced the splashing but not the spread of bacteria. "I would treat the sink just like the outside of the chicken—it could also be dirty and unsafe," says Benjamin Chapman, an associate professor in North Carolina State University. "The way that we make meat safe is through cooking, not through washing away bacteria."

The market is divided into many different sections, and each offers its own specialties (特色商品). In the fresh produce area, farmers like Mr. Chen sell fruits and vegetables that are directly picked from their gardens. Unlike in supermarkets where produce is often prepackaged, customers here can even taste a cherry tomato or a piece of cucumber to see whether it is fresh or not. The bakery section, managed by Mr. Johnson, is located right next to the flower stalls (摊位). It fills the air with the warm smell of freshly baked bread and attracts many visitors every morning. For those interested incrafts, the handmade section shows plenty of special items. Local skilled craftsmen, some of whom are also part-time farmers, show their works here, such as delicate wooden toys and bamboo baskets. This area is quite popular with tourists who look for souvenirs.

Each family member finds something to enjoy. Children are often attracted to the bright flowers at Mrs. Lee's stall, while parents discuss the best ingredients for the week's meals with the friendly sellers. This direct interaction between buyers and sellers is a key feature of the market, creating a sense of community.

After finishing their shopping, many families choose to relax at a nearby cafe. They enjoy a drink and talk about what they've bought. The market is more than just a place to buy things; it serves as a social center where people connect, and a tradition that brings families together over the shared joy of fresh, local goods.

Ryan and Ahmed sat on their bicycles at the start of the cyclocross course. Ahmed had been competing in cyclocross for three years, but this was Ryan's first race. He wished he could remember everything Ahmed had taught him.

Ryan reviewed the last six months in his mind. From the moment Ahmed had first asked whether he would like to try the sport, Ryan had been excited. Ahmed explained the importance of practising and set up a plan for them two to practise together.

Practising was hard. Ryan soon got bored with working on the same skills over and over. He was ready to race! Ryan ended up skipping many of the practices. When Ryan did go to practices, he spent more time doing tricks with his bike than listening to Ahmed's tips.

The big race day finally arrived.

"Now the real fun begins," Ryan said excitedly as he sat at the starting line.

"You need to get serious," Ahmed warned. "Cyclocross can be dangerous."

Bang! The starting gun went off. The boys rushed off the starting line. Ryan saw the first obstacle ahead. It was a series of small hurdles (障碍).

"Here I go!" Ryan shouted when he reached the hurdles. He jumped off his bike and landed hard on his foot. Next, he had to get his bike onto his shoulder. Ryan could not remember what Ahmed said about shouldering the bike. He tried to pick it up by the wheels but it dropped. Finally, he got his bike off the ground. As he ran, the bike's weight pressed down on his shoulder, and he lost his balance, unable to stay on his feet. Before he knew it, he was lying face-down in the mud.

"Are you okay?" Ryan heard his friend ask. Ahmed reached down to help Ryan. Ryan was thankful that Ahmed cared more about him than about the race. He caught Ahmed's hand and stood.

"Ouch!" Ryan cried. It hurt to put weight on his ankle. "You were right, Ahmed. Cyclocross is about more than strength and speed. Can we spend a few more months training together? I want to finish my next cyclocross race!"

When I was fifteen, I went to a summer camp. There were lots of attractive1, but there was one thing I was really scared about: climbing the wall.

The wall was very high. We were all required to climb it, but I knew I couldn't get to the top because I was2 heights. I didn't want anyone to know that I was scared. I thought they would all laugh at me, so I made a(n)3: "I'm not scared, you know. I suffer from vertigo (眩晕)."

The day came. It was time to climb the wall. The sun was shining but everyone was very quiet that morning. I took photographs at the bottom of the wall and tried to4. Everyone in the group went up. Then the moment came. It was my turn. I was so scared that all I could think about was my excuse. Someone said, "Shall I take your camera?" And I answered, "Oh, no. I'm not going to climb the wall, but I'm not scared, you know. I suffer from vertigo." The5 was that I was more than scared. Noticing I didn't start my climbing, the camp leader walked to me and said, "Don't worry. You don't have to do anything that you don't want." I was6. No one laughed at me. Everyone was understanding.

The next day, the leader asked me if I wanted to7 the wall on my own without being watched by others. Although I was still very nervous, I8 and climbed slowly to the top with his help. I was still shaking even when I came9, but I was really happy and relieved too. For me, the experience of climbing the wall was a real10.

Su Shi was a famous Chinese writer, poet and painter. When he was young, he read a lot of books and wrote1 many good articles that people thought he was pretty talented. Because of this, he wrote a couplet (对联) for2:

Know all the words in the world

Read all the books on the earth

An old man saw3 couplet and thought, "Su Shi is so proud. It is necessary for him4 how to be modest." So one day, he came to Su Shi's house5 a book. The book6 to Su Shi and the old man said, "7 I have read the book many times, there are still some difficult words that I can't understand. You8 a person with rich knowledge so I come to you for help."

Su Shi took the book9 from the old man's hand. He thought he10 understand the words. However, when he opened it, he saw a lot of words he didn't know. At that time, Su Shi realized that there were many other things he needed to learn. His face turned red and he said, "Now I know11 you came."

Hearing Su Shi's words, the old man smiled without saying12. That day, they read the book together for several hours and13 of them learned a lot from each other. After the old man left, Su Shi added some words to the couplet:

Work hard to know all the words in the world

Be determined to read all the books on the earth
