Do teenagers in small villages do chores at home? How about the teenagers in big cities? Here is a survey. We asked 4,000 teenagers in China several questions. Half of them come from big cities like Beijing, Shanghai and Guangzhou. The others are from small villages. We made a diagram of the result of our survey. Let’s have a look at it. We found out that teenagers from small villages do more chores than those from big cities. Maybe it is because they live a harder life. Our advice to parents in big cities is that parents should give their children some chores to do. Doing chores teaches teenagers to take care of themselves.

Be honest. That’s all you have to do on Honesty Day. It would be great if we were all honest every day of the year. It’s good that there is a day to encourage honesty. M. Hirsh Goldberg started Honesty Day. He chose the last day of April because the first day is April Fool’s Day, which celebrates lies (谎言). On Honesty Day, anyone may ask you any question and you should give a true and honest answer. That means that you have got to know Honesty Day.
M. Hirsh Goldberg wrote a book on telling lies. He said in his book that almost all persons lie about 200 times a day. In our daily life, a typical lie for a man is “I did not drink that much” and for a woman is “Nothing is wrong, I’m fine.”It is found that nurses are the most honest people, while sales people and politicians (政客) are the biggest liars.
Every Honesty Day, M. Hirsh Goldberg hands out prizes to honest people.

accept mobile payments(移动支付).”He paid for breakfast by scanning(扫描) a QR code on the window of a restaurant. All he had to do was enter a password. Then he also used his phone to pay for movie tickets, buy takeout food, order things online and take a taxi.
But there is also worry about the safety of the digital wallets. “Don’t think the largest payment technology has solved all of its safety problems.” commented Fax News.

Doing the broadcast calisthenics (广播体操) during breaks in the morning is almost a rule in Chinese schools. 64 He led his students to do the shuffle dance(鬼步舞) during school breaks.
Every morning, the headmaster Zhang Pengfei danced with about 700 pupils on the playground.

One of the world’s most dangerous 74 (sport) is mountain climbing, and one of the most popular places
for this is the Himalayas. The Himalayas run along the southwestern part of China. Of all the mountains, Qomolangma rises the highest and is the most famous. It is 8,844.43 meters 75 and so is very dangerous to climb. Thick clouds cover the top and snow can fall very 76 (hardly). Even more serious difficulties i 77 freezing weather conditions and heavy storms. It is also very difficult to take 78 air as you get near the top.
The 79 (one) people to reach the top were Tenzing Norgay and Edmund Hillary on May 29, 1953. The first Chinese team did so in 1960, while the first woman to 80 /sək’si:d / was Junko Tabei from Japan in 1975.
81 do so many climbers risk their lives? One of the main reasons is that people want to challenge
themselves in the face of difficulties. The spirit of these climbers shows us that we should never give up 82 (try) to achieve our dreams. It also shows that humans can sometimes be stronger than the forces of nature.
