 Gong Linna, a famous Chinese musician and founder of Chinese New Art Music, put her music teaching methods into practice for the first time at the Tracing Roots(寻根) practice concert of the Affiliated High School of Peking University on May 23.  

The first song of the concert, Search High and Low, refers to the classical poem Li Sao, "The road ahead will be long. I shall search high and low." "It's arranged to be sung in the beginning by all performers, showing that we should all search high and low for our roots," Gong Linna says.

 To explore the education and popularization of Chinese music, in 2017, Gong Linna established a research and development team, which includes musicologist(音乐学家), Du Yaxiong, and music historian, Zhao Zhongming, to discuss her music teaching methods and summarize the vocal skills of Chinese music.  

Gong Linna believed that popularization of Chinese music should depend on primary and secondary schools rather than music schools. The children's strong love for music and their outstanding performance amazed Gong Linna, "When singing, they are completely concentrated on the music. Music brings light and richness to one's spiritual world. So, learning to sing is never about passing examinations, but about enjoying the music."

Lu Yueming, a teacher of the school's art center, said, "The children worked really hard and kept in mind Gong Linna's instructions(讲授).Seeing their performance, I know that they truly fell in love with traditional Chinese music. I hope more Chinese students can benefit from the teaching practice in the near future."

"Seeing the children perform my pieces, I realized I should write more songs for them," Lao Luo, Gong Linna's husband said proudly. "It's a great encouragement for me to see how much they like the songs, and they really need content related to Chinese culture." Speaking about her future plans, Gong Linna told the reporter she would like to further popularize her teaching methods and Chinese music. "Children should learn about the beauty of Chinese music. Only when you know about your own sounds, can you have cultural confidence," she said at the end of the interview.

Last year I went to the Rio de Janeiro Carnival, and it blew my mind. It had been my dream to attend the famous carnival for many years, so I was excited. However, the moment I arrived, I was a little bit nervous because there were so many people on the streets. They say that five or six million people come to Rio during carnival time and about two million of them are on the streets on any given day. Luckily, I had a local guide, my sister's friend Ronnie. He said he would take care of me and show me around at the carnival. He did not let me down.

Well, the carnival is all about the samba. It's a style of music and dance which has its origins in Africa. Lots of Africans were used as slave labor by the Portuguese when Brazil was being conquered, so this mixed culture of African, Latin and European styles is really strong here. Samba music is usually fast and exciting with a lot of drums and harmonic vocals(和声).It's the kind of music that you couldn't help dancing to. And I was learning that as I followed Ronnie through the crowd, I couldn't help moving my hips and shoulders.

 Ronnie had got us tickets for the samba parade inside the Sambadrome where the top samba schools compete for the championship, but we still had a long way to go through the street parties. He said most people enjoy the carnival by making their own parties in the street. About the samba parade, twelve main teams compete for the championship, and if they win, their performance will be talked about for years to come.  

So, you must be wondering how it was. Well, I'm afraid I can't tell you. Ronnie and I never made into the Sambadrome. We spent the day moving from one street party to another. There were more snacks, more drinks and lots of dancing. Do I regret missing the main parade? Not at all. I experienced the carnival like the locals, and it was truly amazing.

 While tea may have its origins in Asia, now it has found its way into their food culture and traditions in many countries. It is a special way of connecting people all over the world in different ways and ceremonies. That finally all results in a group of people sitting together and enjoying a cup of tea.  

 Chinese tea culture 

 Since China is considered as the birthplace of tea, it is no wonder that Chinese tea culture is rich in history and tradition. Today, Chinese tea continues to be used in Chinese medicine and is commonly used on both formal and informal occasions either for personal enjoyment or as a Chinese cultural tradition.   

 Japanese tea culture 

 Japan also has a long history with tea, especially Japanese Matcha, which is a kind of ground green tea. Japanese tea is commonly used in Japanese tea ceremonies and only in recent years has become popular in western culture.  

 British tea culture 

 When it comes to British tea, British tea culture is what comes to mind. A hot cup of Earl Grey tea often serves with a little milk and a biscuit in the afternoon as a pick-me-up for the day, which makes you feel better and more energetic. Even though tea may not be native to England, this British tea tradition is still going strong today.  

 Moroccan tea culture 

 When you visit Morocco, it is hard to miss the outstanding tea culture that is such a special way to welcome guests. Before any gathering, a pot of mint(薄荷)tea is always prepared and served among the host and guests. This is an expression of Moroccan tradition and kindness, which should always be accepted by guests as a sign of appreciation and respect to the host.  

Annie's eyes popped open Friday morning. She hurried downstairs and began to have her breakfast quickly.

"What's the rush, early bird?" Dad asked. "Today's my spelling test. Dad," Annie said. "Mrs. Page promised a prize to everyone who gets 100 percent. I've studied the list all week. The words are hard, but I'm ready."

Annie studied the spelling of each word again as Mom drove her to school. Finally, it was time for the test. "Impatient," Mrs. Page began. Annie wrote down the word correctly and quickly.

"Word number two: weird," Mrs. Page said.

"Easy," Annie thought. She quickly wrote it on her paper.

Twenty-three words later, Mrs. Page collected the test papers. "I'll mark your papers during lunch," she told the class. After lunch Mrs. Page said, "Several of you earned a prize today for perfect test scores. Tracy, Jonas, Olivia, and Annie all scored 100 percent on the test!"

Annie smiled as she walked to the front of the room. Mrs. Page gave each of the four students a nice pencil. Annie's was silver, pink, and blue — her favorite colors. She held the beautiful pencil high while the class clapped. "This is one of my best days ever," Annie thought as she sat down.

Mrs. Page handed back the test paper and Annie read the words over, proud of the hard words she had spelled. Suddenly she stopped at the word "weird". It didn't look right. Annie pulled out the study list and made a comparison. "W-i-e-r-d," she whispered. She had spelled it wrong.

"What should I do?" Annie wondered. "I want my classmates to think I'm a great speller. If I tell Mrs. Page I'll have to give back my prize, or I will become an example for telling a lie."

Annie stared at the test paper with the big red "100%" written at the top. Then she thought of a lesson Dad taught her when she was very young, "We should always be honest."

My weekend

For the public, cultural activities are gradually becoming necessities of  (they) lives. For Liu Ziqi,  eight-year-old museum lover in Beijing, this winter vacation has proved a rather busy one, as she made a to-go list for newly opened exhibitions in the Chinese capital. The museums are changing their forms these days  (attract) more people.

During the seven-day Spring Festival holiday  (start) from Jan. 21, museums in Beijing received 1.01 million visits, up 34 percent year on year. Like Liu, more and more young people, some not  (necessary) big fans of museums, chose to spend some of their leisure time in a museum.

"There were more special exhibitions and more joint exhibitions, especially the one between the National Museum the Palace Museum," Liu said, she was asked about the most notable change during her latest museum visit.

A (profession) museum tour guide for over 10 years, Bai Xuesong observed that more visitors were expecting specialized introductions to the ins and outs behind the cultural relics. "Visitors (begin) asking questions, and sometimes we couldn't give an answer," Bai said, adding that this indicated a change in the relationship between tour (guide) and visitors — from "teaching" to communication and learning.

Stevens, a single mother of three children, was an active volunteer in her children's school. She was always1 when they played sports in the school filed. John McGinty, the school's principal, who learned Stevens' situation, offered her a2 as an instructional assistant.During her work, she 3 her teaching certification and then made it to apply for a health and physical education teacher. She also 4 the job of athletic game monitor over the years, helping students5 athletics.

"I'm here by 8 am and get home by 9 pm," she says. "I don't think it's 6 because it's what I love."

7 her goal of teaching the importance of healthy styles, Stevens also wants to encourage students when times are 8 . "There's a lot going on in their life, and I just want them to be happy and 9 of who they are. I try very hard to prove to them that they can 10 me," she says. Those who have experienced her services say she finds a way of inter-acting with teenagers, so that they feel 11 .

Stevens starts her every day with serving the students around her. That might mean 12 a student who has a successful solo (独奏) in a school performance, or helping a grandparent watch from a distance to 13 locate his or her grandchild on the field and so on. "All of them 14 ," she says.

"The kids feed my 15 ," she says. "I treat them as if each of them were my own. I feel fulfilled when I am with them."

Money Matters

Parents should help their children understand money. . So you may start talking about money when your child shows an interest in buying things, candy or toys, for example.

● The basic function of money

Begin explaining the basic function of money by showing how people trade money for goods or services. It is important to show your child how money is traded for the things he wants to have.If he wants to have a toy, give him the money and let him hand the money to the cashier(收银员).. When your child grows a bit older and understands the basic function of money, you can start explaining more complex ways of using money.

● Money lessons

Approach money lessons with openness and honesty. . If you must say no to a child's request to spend money, explain, "You have enough toy trucks for now." Or, if the request is for many different things, say, "You have to make a choice between this toy and that toy."

● 

Begin at the grocery store. Pick out two similar brands of a product—a kind of name-brand butter and a generic (无商标消费品),for example. You can show your child how to make choices between different brands of a product so that you can save money. . If he chooses the cheaper brand, allow him to make another purchase with the money saved. Later, you may explain how the more expensive choice leaves less money for other purchases.

A. Wise decisions

B. The value of money

C. Permit the child to choose between them

D. Tell your child why he can—or cannot—have certain things

E. Ask yourself what things that cost money are most important to you

F. Talk about how the money bought the thing after you leave the toy store

G. The best time to teach a child something about money is when he shows an interest

There was a time, Wang Fuchun remembered, when all the people on Chinese trains looked more or less the same. In the late 1970s, when he started taking his photographs, everyone seemed to wear green suits and caps. The "green-skinned" trains crept between China's main towns and cities. On board, all was chaos（混乱）. Life seemed to explode on the train as if it were a stage. He did not care what seat he had, for he was on the move.

China, too, was on the move. China was rushing to the modern world, and the trains, showed it. Steam was fading; the green-skinned trains acquired fans, then air-conditioning. Then came express trains, then high-speed rail. And the passengers, too, changed. They began to wear jeans; by the 1980s they let their hair grow. The 1990s brought in a fashion for T-shirts with favourite stars. People wanted a look that was unique; they became individuals. His book Chinese on the Train, published in 2001, caught the brief span when old and new crashed.

Many slow trains had been replaced by high-speed models, as comfortable and quiet as hotels. The aisles(过道) were clear, the windows sealed. In the ordinary seats, everyone's nose was buried in their tablets and their phones.

Over 40 years he reckoned he had ridden on 1,000 trains and covered more than 100,000 kilometres, on every line in China. He found he could not sleep properly without the clank of rails beneath him. He took about 200,000 pictures. He liked to place two of his photographs side by side. One was of a green-skinned train in 1998, with a merry line of passengers grinning out of the window. The second picture showed a pair of newly-weds (新婚夫妇) in 2015 in front of a Harmony high-speed train, holding the character for "double happiness". He liked the message of hope. He was proud of what China had achieved.

Long before the pandemic(疫情), many adults turned to toys from Legos to collectible items to tap into their inner childhood for comfort. But all the stresses from the health problems stimulated(刺激)and strengthened the trend, according to Jim Silver, editor-in-chief of a toy review site. 

This so-called "kid-adult" market is significant. Ages 18 and older represented 14% of U. S. toy industry sales, or $5. 7 billion in 2022. It grew 19% compared with that in 2021, according to the NPD Group Inc. , a market research firm. This group also enjoyed the second-fastest increase after customers aged 12 to 17.

Last year, Build-a-Bear launched a website called Bear Cave for the 18-year-old and over, highlighting items like toy rabbits holding a bottle of wine. And Basic Fun took a high-tech on the traditional Lite Brite toy from the 1960s and recreated it as wall art with thousands of pegs and 45 LED lights aimed at the adults in time for the holidays-with a $99 price tag. McDonald's tapped into this group, releasing adult Happy Meals in October with toys designed by the fashion brand Cactus Plant Flea Market.

Loren Brereton,61,was recently visiting the American Girl store with her granddaughter Alana,7. She said that during the pandemic, she took comfort looking at her own daughter's dolls. She also pulled out some of her son's Lego's and other toys and played with them. And she was thinking of buying a few playthings for herself. "All of those games have brought me comfort when I was a kid, but, you know, sort of changed you at different times when you needed it,"she said. "And you needed it. "

"The pandemic certainly served as a stimulus for this trend as adults found themselves stuck at home with nothing else to do with a lot of time in their hands,"said Genevieve Cruz, senior director at Lego, "But we do believe that the trend goes beyond the pandemic. "
