People like to give gifts to others on big days. Do you know how to choose(挑选) gifts? You should choose gifts that your family or friends like. Different gifts are for different people. For example, boys often like to play with robots(机器人),toy guns(枪)and balls. And girls may like something lovely, like flowers, dolls and beautiful clothes. Of course, you don’t need to choose something expensive. Your feeling is much more important than money. There is a Chinese saying, “A small gift means far much. ”

What will the weather be like in the future? Some people say they can forecast the weather from some animals.

If birds are flying high in the sky, there will be a nice day. When they sit in trees or stay close together, bad weather is on the way. Ants(蚂蚁) often build their homes on the steep(陡峭的) side just before the rain comes. Cats like to clean their ears before the rain. Chickens make a loud noise and run here and there when the rain is coming. Frogs will stay in the water and make a lot of noise, too. But on a nice day, they are quiet and jump out of the water. Turtles(海龟) often look for higher places and cows like to lie down when the rain is on the way。

According to the “World Happiness Report”, people who live in Denmark(丹麦)are the happiest in the world. Why? Because they know the secret to happiness —“hygge”. But what is “hygge” ?

Danish people are very good at “hygge”. For example，they create a “hygge” environment by burning candles in classrooms, kitchens, bedrooms, etc. According to some reports, Danish people burn more candles every year than people from any other European country.

However, “hygge” isn’t just about creating a nice and warm environment；It is best enjoyed with family members and friends. With up to 17 hours of darkness every day in winter, Danish people spend more time indoors as a result, and they often get together for a meal or hot drinks, without the distraction(使人分心的事物) of technology or the stress of daily life.

 Still can't understand what “hygge” is? If you're reading this in a comfortable chair, with a few candles around you, that sense of coziness you're feeling might just be “hygge”.

Denmark is a small country of about 5.5 million people. The United States is a country of about 315 million people. There is no doubt that Denmark and United the States are very different countries. However, are there lessons that the USA can learn from Denmark?

  In the United States, it is said that unemployment (失业率) is too high and income(收入) is too low. The gap(差距) between the very rich and everyone else is growing wider. However, in Denmark, the government makes sure that almost no one falls into economic(经济上的) problems. While it is difficult to become very rich in Denmark, no one is allowed to be poor.

  While millions of Americans are worrying about health care, health care in Denmark is free. Everybody is covered. The Danish health care system is popular, with patient satisfaction much higher than in the USA.

  Danish people understand that the first few years of a person’s life are the most important period. In order to give strong support to expecting parents, mothers get four weeks of paid leave before giving birth. They get another 14weeks of paid leave after giving birth. In the USA, working mothers enjoy no paid leave before and after giving birth.

  In Denmark, enough family time is considered an important part of having a good life. Every worker in Denmark has five weeks of paid vacation plus 11 paid holidays every year. And the United States is a country that does not offer its workers paid vacation time.

  Recently an organization has found that the Danish people were the happiest among about 40 countries. However, America did not list the top 10.

Long long ago, there was no paper in the world. People had to write characters (汉字) in bamboo slips or stones. Then there was a man named Cai Lun who was a Chinese man.

Nowadays, paper is very useful in our work, study and life. It really means a lot to human beings.

How green are you? Do you know how to be green?

We all need a healthy environment, but we produce waste every day and it does harm to our environment. Though we are young, we can still do something to help. In fact, even the simplest everyday activities can make a real difference to the environment. Here are some ideas for you.

Reduce

Reduce means “use less”. Don’t waste things. This saves money and reduces pollution and waste going into the environment. Before we buy something new, think whether it is really necessary—or maybe the old one will be just as good! When we do buy things, choose local products if possible, and try not to buy too many things from abroad.

Reuse

Reuse means “use again”. Use things for as long as possible. When we buy things, make sure that they last a long time. We should look after them so that they will last, and we should repair them if we can instead of throwing them away and buying new ones. Don’t use a paper cup of a paper bag. It’s better to use a china cup and a lunch box because you can use them again.

Recycle

Recycle means “change things into something else”. Though it takes energy to change something into something else, it’s better than throwing things away or burning them. Find out what can be recycled in your neighbourhood and take part in recycling programmes. We should also buy products made from recycled materials, such as recycled paper, to help save trees.

So please remember these three words: reduce, reuse and recycle.

There are some famous buildings in the world. Everyone can recognize (认出) them with their imaginations. For example, when you see a picture of sports stadium (体育场) that reminds you of a bird's nest, you probably know it is the Olympic stadium in Beijing.

   In fact, other buildings can be recognized more easily. The shape of the building shows the objects people can see inside. In Guizhou, China, people can visit the Meitan Tea Museum, built in the shape of a big teapot. From far away, the teapot-shaped museum looks like some kind of huge work of art. But as one gets closer, the windows make it clear that this is a building.

   People who are interested in guitars might want to visit the Guitar Museum in Tennessee, USA. The building is shaped like a guitar. Inside, visitors can see all kinds of guitars and learn about famous guitar players.

   One of the newest funny-shaped museums is a pottery museum in Korea. This museum, built in 2011, is shaped just like a traditional Korean pot. Along with seeing examples of pots and tools used for making pots in the museum, visitors can try to make their own pots there.
