The TV series, A Li felong Journey,  (earn) widespread applause, becoming the most-watched TV series on State broadcaster China Media Group in the past five years. 

A Li felong Journey, (consist) of 58 episodes, is adapted from famous writer Liang Xiaosheng's novel of the same name which won the 10th Mao Dun Literature Prize, one of the country's top honors for local writers. Starting in late 1960s, the story follows the ups and downs of three children in a working-class family in northeastern China, striking a chord (和弦) with viewers for its details (vivid) bringing them back to old times. First (publish) in December 2017, the novel shows a wide range of Chinese people from different (walk) of life, from constructors to start-up founders, to examine the huge influence brought by the changes of Chinese society.

Tie Ning, chairwoman of the China Writers' Association, said the great (popular) of the TV series, A Li felong Journey, illustrates the "close bond" literature and television. "While taking a look at history, we could see the mutual (相互的) influence of literature, film and television to boost and inspire each other, has connected writers and filmmakers closely," she added. With popular TV series or movies, the stories that have inspired such screen works will see their influence grow even (far).

In January 2018, I was moving to New Jersey. I had two kids and a(n) 41  business, so a quiet train ride felt like a small vacation. Yet I found myself spending that 42  time through my social media feeds. So I put down my phone and 43  writing thank-you notes to people. 

When I got off, I was in a noticeably 44  mood. The next day, I wrote more. When I finished, I 45  them up. There were 31—one for every day of the year so far. Something wonderful 46  me. What if I kept it up?

I decided to write one thank-you note for every day of that year. I had no shortage of people to whom I was 47 . So I picked out a different theme for each 48 to keep on task--January was charity. 49 the notes wasn't that time-consuming. Each was just two or three sentences long, taking just a few minutes to 50 . I focused on the person I was writing to and what I wanted to say and the words came 51 .

I was delighted to 52 a note back from a chef, Julie. She replied, "I don't think I've ever received such a touching letter before. Your letter was a 53 that looking back is a good motivator(促进因素) for moving forward. " It 54 that many people are going through something most of the time. And I wouldn't have known if I hadn't reached out. Part of the magic of what I 55 my "Thank-You Year" was reconnecting with people like Julie.

How to improve reading efficiency

⒈Make sure of your purpose of reading. 

Before you start reading, ask yourself why you are reading this book. Most people read for two main reasons: pleasure or knowledge. Being specific and clear about your reading purpose not only helps you to avoid books that you don't need to read, it also reminds you the book is important to you.

⒉Read only what you are attracted to. 

Whether you are reading fiction or nonfiction, it's important to enjoy what you read. Your friends may recommend books that they love, but those books might not necessarily be the ones you enjoy. 

⒊Give up books that you don't enjoy. 

You may have selected books that match your purpose. You may have selected books that you are attracted to. But you are reading them, there may still be some books that you won't enjoy reading.  Remember reading shouldn't make you feel annoyed. 

⒋ 

Having a reading goal helps you figure out how much reading you need to do in a week or even a day. 

⒌Give yourself a deadline to finish each book. 

Before you read each book, ask yourself when you need to finish this book. What I find interesting is that I tend to read books that I borrow from libraries faster than the books I bought.  I don't need to return those books. When you don't set a deadline to finish you book, there isn't a sense of urgency. And when something isn't urgent, you tend to slow down. 

A. Set a reading goal. 

B. Understand each word of the sentence. 

C. Read books which you are interested in. 

D. Reading is the most important way to get knowledge. 

E. The reason is that the books I bought don't have a due date. 

F. This encourages you to keep reading and complete the book faster. 

G. Whenever you realize that you aren't enjoying the book you are reading, give it up. 

NASA selects university teams for space exploration

The moon's permanently shadowed areas, nearly 384, 400 kilometers away from home, are the closest water source outside the earth. The craters have been dark since billions of years ago. But now with student-developed technologies, more about them can be discovered. 

Through the competitive Breakthrough, Innovative and Game-changing (BIG) Idea Challenge and the Space Grant project, NASA has awarded nearly $ 1 million to eight university teams. They will build sample lunar payloads (装备) and demonstrate innovative ways to study the moon's darkest areas. 

"Its an exciting time for NASA and students across the country," said Drew J. Hope, Program Manager of Game Changing Development program. "Thanks to our partnership with the Office of STEM Engagement, this is the most money NASA has awarded in a student challenge directly connected to Artemis. "

The chosen teams will work out ways to gather data in and around the craters, generate wireless power for future infrastructure, and enable autonomous mobility even in the most extreme environments. The research results could benefit NASA's Artemis Program and be used to study the moon ahead of a human landing in 2024 or help establish sustained presence by 

2028. Each team will receive different amounts of grants, based on the concept and budget they propose. They will develop and test the technologies in simulated(模拟的environments with the awards during the following 10 months, showing they are prepared for a possible lunar mission as early as 2023. Then in November 2020, a panel of NASA and industry experts will examine the teams' research and development results at a face-to-face design review. 

"One of the most exciting things about this challenge is that several of the concepts, if proven to be valuable as a result of these awards, could eventually be integrated and operated together on the surface of the moon," according to Chad Rowe, Acting Manager of Space Grant project. " These students are part of the Artemis generation and they are helping fulfil NASA'S mission needs today, while developing relevant hands-on experience that will prepare them for aerospace careers after graduation. 

Edinburgh is the capital city of Scotland, and has long been a favorite destination of tourists from all over the world, as well as an important cultural and political center. 

With its museums, shops, wonderful historic castles, many pubs and restaurants, there are many things for visitors to enjoy all year round. And of course, as it is in Scotland, there is a wide range of whiskies to try!

However, there is more to Edinburgh than historic monuments and tourism. Each year, the Edinburgh Festival takes place in the city. In late summer, for three weeks, the festival presents classical music, theatre, opera and dance at six major theatres and concert halls and several smaller ones throughout the city. Whatever your cultural tastes are, you are sure to find something to enjoy. 

Local talent is always represented at the Edinburgh Festival giving Scottish composers and playwrights the opportunity to show their work and gain praises from a wider audience. 

In addition, orchestras and theatre companies come from all over the world to perform at the festival. Last year saw the arrival of orchestras from the United States and Germany. 

The festival has now become an important part of Scotland's economy as well as its culture. Last year's festival gained over £130 million in Edinburgh alone, and across Scotland nearly 2,900 jobs exist as a direct result of the festival. 

The festival is so popular that it has become, in some ways, a victim of its own success. The huge interest in performing there led to the setting up of a rival festival, the Edinburgh Fringe Festival. Fortunately, demand for live entertainment during the summer is so great that both festivals continue to develop. 

When I was younger, I was addicted to reading. I could get through a whole book in a day, and used to beg my parents every night to let me stay up late so that I could just finish my chapter. From fairy-tales to thrillers, non-fiction to plays, I enjoyed reading any literature that I could get my hands on. 

However, while there are many books for younger children,once you reach your mid-teens the choices become limited. I found myself choosing between books for children that were simple and not that interesting, and adult books that I couldn't quite understand.

This lack of choice eventually led me to read less and less. When I was in secondary school,the only books I read were ones we were assigned in English class,and I was never very enthusiastic about my teacher's choices. I thought too much discussion of symbolism and themes ruined the book. Maybe the sky being blue didn't represent anything;maybe it was just a description!

Fortunately, I realized quickly that deciding to go to university meant I had signed up for four years of reading books. I chose a French literature module in my first year. I started out, thinking I wouldn't enjoy any of the works we were studying over the course of the year. However,I soon realized that at a university level,the discussion was more fruitful and I found I had a lot to say!And being able to discuss my thoughts with others meant I could better understand the subtle aspects of the plot:yes,even the symbolism and themes.

I began reading again for pleasure, starting with Malcolm X's autobiography and never looking back. Now, during my year abroad,I spend a lot of my spare time in bookshops and reading in cafes. I'm so happy that I rediscovered my love of books.

Charlie was a rich boy who had more toys than you could imagine. His family had a lot of money, and whenever he liked something, they would buy it for him. In reality, then, he had no idea what things cost, and wouldn't bother to take care of what he had. Nor did he realize how difficult it was for other children to get toys like the ones he had. 

A time came, though, when he was so used to all his toys that he began to want something different. One of his uncles found a fine horse and he gave it to Charlie, as something unusual. Charlie was very excited at having a horse. He learned to ride, and was constantly on his horse, going here and there. However, he treated the horse just as badly as he treated all his other toys, and it soon started looking sick. For the first time in his life Charlie became truly worried. He loved the horse, and the fact that his family had offered to buy him a new one meant nothing to him. 

One day, while in the countryside, he saw a little girl with a horse. The girl looked very poor, but the horse seemed happy and looked great. Wondering how she had managed this, Charlie secretly followed them, watching everything they did. First he followed them through the forest, where he saw that she never used the stick and never hit the horse. This was the opposite of what Charlie had done to his horse. Then they came to the stable （马厩）and as soon as they arrived the girl fed and watered the horse. Then she carefully cleaned it. Charlie was surprised. He'd never done any of those things for his horse. He saw that the girl spent a lot of time giving care and attention to her horse, and that she did it all on her own. This had never entered Charlie's mind; he had always been too busy playing and having fun to look after the horse.
