Other Chinese courses opening across world show the increasing demand for Chinese-speaking talent. Russia included Mandarin (普通话) as an elective foreign language in the country's college entrance exam. Following English, German, French, and Spanish, Mandarin has become the fifth elective test item for the exam, according to Sergey Kravtsov, Deputy Minister of Russia's Ministry of Education and Science.

Spain, for example, has more than 40,000 people learning Chinese; last year some 8,000 took the Chinese Proficiency Test (HSK) exam, ranking first among the member states of the European Union, according to Xinhua News Agency.

In the US, learning Chinese has been thriving for a number of years and is now a popular choice for American children, especially those who born in elite (精英) families. The children are exposed to the language at an early age as their parents believe mastering Chinese will help them build successful international careers.

Ten miles away stood a house with shiny red walls, a green garden and an apple tree. A young girl's face would be seen reflecting from one of the large glassy windows. Her name is Maggie. Her eyes were sparkling and on her face there was a smile which could light a million candles. She seemed to be longing for a chance to play like a young child, but she had no strength in her legs because she and her family met with an accident, in which she lost both her legs.

But her spirit was strong. She would be inspired by seeing birds fly. The flying eagle would make her want to fly. She was lonely. She longed for a true friend who would talk to her and teach her to fly or at least tell her stories about soaring into the blue sky.

One evening, Maggie slowly rolled her wheelchair to the giant window and looked out to the many houses that lay across the road. Suddenly she heard someone singing and then could see an old man in a pilot suit singing in glory. The beautiful sound and the melody made the little girl happy. Suddenly he stopped and gazed up toward her. "What are you staring at?" he said angrily. "You think I'm a circus clown? (马戏团小丑)" "No, Sir. I was just listening to you. You sing very well," she said. "I don't need your praises. I don't need anyone!" he shouted. He started to walk to his house and shut the door. Tears rolled down from her apple-red cheeks as the man shouted at her. She was lonely.

Next morning, Maggie pushed her wheelchair across the garden to the stone road as little children played hide-and-seek around her. Suddenly out of nowhere a loading truck came rumbling across toward her. Terrified, she tried to move away from its path but the wheels of her chair were stuck. "Oh my," she thought as the truck came in her direction fast, with the driver unaware of the obstruction in front of him. She screamed loudly but in a split second she was pulled out of her wheelchair by someone and fell on the ground. She closed her eyes and shivered as the truck passed her whistling. As she opened her eyes, she could see a man standing beside her.

After about one hour and a half on Tuesday night, the 2021 Nobel literature laureate Abdulrazak Gurnah (sell) around 100,000 copies of his novels. The book sale was at Chinese livestream show on the short video platform Douyin, (generate) a profit of over 4 million yuan ($570,000). The number grew to 110,000 copies later that night.

During his talk with English teacher-turned livestreamer Dong Yuhui, the Tanzanian-born British author, 76, shared Chinese netizens his hometown life immigrant experiences, his writing as an outside r and teaching as a literature professor. He added: "I have been (continuous) absorbing nourishment(营养) for creating from nostalgia (怀旧), pain and (silent)."

Dong managed (connect) Gurnah's life and writing with the numerous Chinese readers living and working far from home—Dong being one of them —who find difficult to fit in the new environment, mostly in big cities, but also difficult to go back home and stay.

The show was the last public event of Gurnah's first China trip that began on March 5, during he visited Shanghai, Ningbo of zhejiang province, and Beijing, giving lectures and holding dialogues with Chinese writers including Ge Fei, Sun Ganlu and Nobel laureate Mo Yan.

We had our first4 date climbing the famous sand dune on Pacific Coast Highway. Eight years into our marriage, Adrian decided to learn to5, so he could fulfill his dream of competing in an Ironman triathlon.

Adrian's first lesson was a6, but his coach's enthusiasm was short-lived. His next instructor was easy to give in and recommended my husband7 swimming. So, being a competitive swimmer in high school, I was8 I could teach him.

Soon I realized how much of a9 swimming was for my husband, even with a tether rope. His progress at each lesson was slow but10. Nearly a month later, he tried without the tether rope, but11 going in the wrong direction. Every time I raised my voice over the roaring waves he felt so12 by my instructions.

Fortunately these days we laugh because Adrian is even faster than I am. He has grown more13 with me when I have to raise my voice. I,14, no longer say, "You went the wrong way!", which makes him feel bad. Instead, I say, "Over here," to which he15 , and then swims back toward me.

Reading makes a full man. Children must develop the hobby of reading at an early age by reading storybooks, poems and so on. However, if you didn't do that in your childhood, don't worry. The more a person reads, the broader his vision becomes.

Cooking is another good hobby. Many of those who enjoy the art of cooking take a training course in hotel management. After completion of the course, some of them can get placed in famous hotels and restaurants, and many will start their own business.

Most of the people take up the hobby just for pleasure and peace. They enjoy doing it and build up a great collection over time. Those who paint really well can exhibit their talent and gain some appreciation. They may also use the hobby to earn some money, if they wish to.

Facebooking was not considered as a constructive hobby, but Facebooking can turn out to be highly useful nowadays. Many people who know how to attract people with awesome contents build huge fans online and they do well on facebooking.

A. There are no age limits to the hobby.

B. Painting is an art of expressing views and on paper.

C. The sooner a hobby is developed, the better you perform.

D. Some people take up this as a hobby and later as a career.

E. With time going by, we will miss out on some good hobbies.

F. It has turned out to be a powerful medium of communication.

G. If you love doing it, you will surely succeed in your future career.

Everyone likes warmth and encouragement, but purely positive affirmations (肯定) don't communicate what can be improved. Research conducted on Character Lab Research Network finds that direct, useful feedback requiring students to revise their own work is more effective. For Professor Jones, this looked like a note at the end of another paper: "I'm sure things will improve as the term and year wear on." However, feedback that does the work for a student—correcting a misspelled word, rewriting a sentence—can signal a teacher's low expectations.

When kids see comments that suggest what needs to be changed, they come to realize they can do things on their own and become more independent learners. As a bonus, this kind of feedback lets students know that their teacher believes in them.

As for me, I was benedictory for Professor Jones's pointed criticism which let me know that he took me seriously. He was expecting me to do better, and the detailed comments scrawled (潦草地写) on every page gave me the tools to improve. Teachers can add affirmations to their feedback as long as it's not the only thing they're doing.

Don't confuse warmth with promoting a growth mindset. Being nice isn't the same as showing someone you believe they can improve. So give detailed feedback that sets young people up to take charge of their own learning. For example, instead of rewriting a sentence, say: "This is a run-on sentence. Try reading it out loud and add punctuation in places where you naturally take a breath." Ask worth-exploring questions that inspire students to think about their approach, then let them revise on their own. When it comes to writing, the easiest path isn't always the best one.

Scientists using X-rays to examine the chemical structure of a small part of the painting discovered a technique Leonardo used in the work. An oil paint used for it was a special, new chemical mixture, which suggests that the Italian artist was in an experimental mood when he worked on the painting in the 16th century.

"He loved to experiment, and each of his paintings is completely different technically," said Victor Gonzalez, a chemist who has studied the chemical element of several works by Leonardo and other artists. The researchers found a rare lead compound (铅化合物) — plumbonacrite, in Leonardo's first layer of paint. The discovery proved that da Vinci most likely used lead oxide to thicken and help dry his paint. The paint in the study is about the thickness of a human hair, lying in the top right area of the painting.

The scientists looked into its atomic (原子的) structure using X-rays, moving particles at the speed of light, permitting researchers to look deeper into the paint structure. "Plumbonacrite is really a fingerprint of his recipe, as it's the first time we can chemically confirm it," Gonzalez said.

Rembrandt, the Dutch master, may have employed a similar blend in his 17th-century paintings. Gonzalez and fellow researchers have also detected plumbonacrite in his art. It's believed that Leonardo used lead oxide powder, which has an orange color, to thicken his oil paint and speed up drying. "What you will get is an oil that has a very nice golden color," Gonzalez said. "It flows more like honey."

But the Mona Lisa — said by the Louvre to be a portrait (肖像) of Lisa Gherardini, the wife of a Florentine silk businessman — There's more to her gaze than meets the eye. "What we are saying is just a little brick in the knowledge," Gonzalez said.

To carry out my mission, I was taken to La Escobilla to experience Wildcoast in action. Just one hour north of Huatulco, this protected beach is where mass turtle nesting happens. The natural phenomenon occurs at 12 beaches around the world, three of which are in Mexico. Having just four days during rainy season, thousands of female sea turtles go ashore to lay their eggs.

Between threats like illegal hunters, natural enemies and oil spills, the hatchlings (幼龟) have the whole world against them. As recently as 2012, turtle hunting was not only common practice, but an important part of the culture and diet in the Oaxacan communities.

Wildcoast rescues turtle eggs and recreates habitats. Thanks to their efforts, various sea turtles have made a major comeback, with now over 72 million turtles being born.

I got to hold 50 of the hatchlings in a bowl. Statistically speaking, just one in 1,000 baby turtles will make it to adulthood. Staring at the bowl, I so badly wanted them to find shelter somewhere in the ocean.

Finally, it was time to set free those little ones. Having made sure no suspicious (可疑的) people were nearby, I let out the hatchlings. With each set of waves, we witnessed the survival of the fittest, some crawling (爬行) past the whitewash while others crashed back to shore. A bunch of birds was ready to div e into the sea for their targets.

"One in 1,000."

Nature was both cruel and sympathetic. After 30 long minutes, the last hatchling made its way to the sea.

For those seeking out the fabled Loch Ness monster, Inverness is the closest train station to the famous lake. From the station, travelers can take a bus or taxi to Fort Augustus and board a boat tour or fishing charter to try to spot the creature. Even if she isn't found, Loch Ness is still a sight for the eyes, with a historic port and trails through the forests and past waterfalls. Being Scotland's second-largest lake and holding more water than any other lake in the U. K., Loch Ness is a great place to fish or boat.

Although a long train ride, the trip from Edinburgh to Mallaig, a charming fishing village, is worth it. This route offers some of the best scenery in the world — in fact, riders might recognize the train, which goes over the Glenfinnan Viaduct, as Harry Potter's Hogwarts Express. Travelers can board the 19th-century-inspired Jacobite Steam Train and wind past attractive villages, the Morar River and beaches.

At an altitude of over 4,412 feet, Ben Nevis is an ancient volcano that exploded and collapsed on itself to become the tallest mountain in the British Isles. Travelers can take the train to Fort William, a town offering castles, distilleries, and rocky coastlines. The town is also titled as the "Outdoor Capital" of Scotland, so thrill seekers can go skiing and hiking to their hearts' desire. If hiking Ben Nevis doesn't sound appealing, there's also a boat tour that provides impressive views.
