Recently, the State Administration of Cultural Heritage (SACH) issued a guidance to open cultural heritage buildings to the public, encouraging local governments, cultural heritage departments and organizations using or managing such buildings to better bring these buildingsˈ cultural and social value into play, on the precondition of full protection. The SACH is clear that, no matter what their current conditions are, heritage buildings should be opened as much as possible.

In the past, due to insufficient preserving technologies and lack of funds, repairing work was seen as a major hassle, and thus opening the buildings to the public was difficult. Even famous heritage places like the Palace Museum in Beijing were plagued by such difficulties.

Today, China has dramatically increased its input into cultural heritage protection, and archaeological protection technologies are improving. The time is ripe for heritage buildings to be opened up.

The Ministry of Education recently released a statement encouraging middle schools to provide Wi-Fi coverage for their students. Do you think middle school campuses should be covered with Wi-Fi?

Sheng Junjie,17:

In my opinion, Wi-Fi should cover campuses. The Internet contains an enormous amount of information. If Wi-Fi could be used on campus, it would be more convenient for students to surf the Internet connection had a positive influence on students’ studying, the school could work out technical tools to guide them.

Han Xu,17:

Personally, I think that Wi-Fi coverage is not a good thing. Everyone would agree that not all information on the Internet is reliable. Students would be likely to come across awful things like false information, even violence and fraud, on the school Wi-Fi network. It would have a bad influence on the growth of students, and may even lead to more serious problems.

I remember my first home was a small apartment on the second floor with a lovely and spacious balcony（阳台）. When my mom was busy in the kitchen she let me stay on the balcony watching the kids playing in the street. On that balcony I played sometimes with my elder sister, Maria. She was seven years old and when my mom was absent she was like a mother to me. The balcony was a great hobby place for my father. After his work he used to grow carnations (康乃馨) in flower boxes. His carnations were red, pink and white, and everyone appreciated them for their beauty.

He took care of them with so much love and devotion. He dealt carefully with his flowers like a mother taking care of her baby. Many times I sat on the floor of the balcony for hours observing him and his lovely flowers with patience. He was always doing something on that balcony. He was watering them every day, cleaning the balcony floor, changing the potting soil and when the stems (茎) were thick, strong and high enough, he started his improvement operation like a doctor.

My dad took a tiny knife and with his left hand he held the stem of the carnation and measured the height. Then he made a small mark on the stem with his finger. Afterwards he made a sharp cut with the knife, just enough to fit in a grain of barley (插穗的芽). Then he bandaged the stem with a small bandage. His job was then to water the plants and to take care of them. “No one should touch them”, he said to mom. Every day, when he came home from work he went straight to the balcony.

Mom used to tell us: “Do not touch daddy’s flowers.” For us it was a fascinating experience to watch how the small stems were growing and making flowers. When the carnations had grown big enough, my dad enjoyed watching them every day. We the kids did too.

It was a hot summer day and I ran down the street hurriedly with a dollar in my sweaty hand. The closer I got to Sam & Joe’s, the more excited I was. After all, a dollar was a tidy sum for an 11-year-old boy in 1961. 

Out of breath, I pushed the door open and got a blast of cold air that instantly cooled me off. I was in a place of pure happiness. Sam & Joe’s had it all - books, candy, toys, baseball cards，puzzles and games. I went directly to the bar（水吧） and ordered a bottle of soda. There I sat, considering my next move. 

Books always came first. I picked out five copies. Next came the candy, rows and rows of it. I chose five candy bars, which brought my total to 25 cents. Then a bottle of cold orange juice, a bag of chips and a pack of Ted Williams baseball cards. After paying the clerk, I still had 5 cents.

I hurried directly to my backyard, where an apple tree patiently waited for me. There, sitting under the tree, I read my books, ate my candy and drank my orange juice.

As I sat in my own personal heaven(天堂), I started thinking about having more. That’s when a fantastic life-changing idea jumped into head: If I could get more money, I could buy more books I liked, buy anything I wanted. That’s how it all started.

(1). How did the boy feel on his way to Sam & Joe’s?  (no more than 5 words)

(2). What does “a tidy sum” mean in Paragraph 1? (no more than 5 words) 

(3). What did the boy consider doing first after he ordered soda?(no more than 5 words) 

(4). What did the boy do while reading? (no more than 5 words)

Peter was so excited when his dad first took him to skate when he was a boy of ten.

When they got to the skating room and put on their skating shoes, peter tried moving his legs. But he lost his balance and fell on the ground. After he failed several times, he wanted to give up. His father skated over to him and stopped. “You need to learn to fall,” said Dad. Peter was surprised because he always thought the key to learning skating was not to fall down. “When you start to fall, relax and keep on practicing. If you are afraid of falling down, you’ll never become successful,” Dad said.

Peter decided to do what Dad told him. When he began to lose his balance, he learnt to relax and moved his body to the ground at once. Dad was right! He learnt fast. He was able to get up faster and try again. By the time they had to go home, Peter was able to skate well around the room.

Later Peter began to see how Dad’s words worked for both skating and everything in life. As long as we keep trying to do our best, we could learn. When we fail, we could rise and try again.
