| Dr．Wang |
Hi， there! I'm here to help with any of your problems， whether at school or at home． |
| Sophia |
@ Dr． Wang What should say to my little brother？ |
| My problem is terrible． My mum gave us a new baby a couple of years ago． We were really happy then， but this lovely baby has grown up! He seems to have too much energy， and never stops running or shouting． The door doesn't help at all﹣he'll be knocking at it for ages． I can't study at home． I really can't stand this， but what should I say to four﹣year﹣old boy？ And my parents are around him all the time． They seem to forget everything about me． How I miss those sweet old days when we could just sit in the sofa! Can you help me out？ |
|
| Dr． Wang |
@ Sophia |
| That's a common complaint． I know how awful it is when someone keeps knocking at the door， but doesn't that mean the little one wants to stay with you？ Just as you want to have your parents around， he needs your attention! If this doesn't make you feel better， ask your parents for some help． Just have a talk with your parents． Ask them to calm（ ） our little brother down or take him out when you are doing your homework． And tell them that you also need their attention! Family life might not always be as sweet as those old days． Sometimes we have to wait until what troubles us today becomes part of those sweet old days． |

When "A Youthful Asia" came out at the Asian Culture Carnival （嘉年华） ， tears filled my eyes． It's Zhang Yixing， the singer and dancer standing there for us young people in China， and the very one who stopped me from falling．
Three years ago， my new school life began． As a junior boy from the countryside， I could hardly keep up． I tried， but still felt like an outsider． Nobody would pick me for teamwork． So I stayed in the corner， hanging my head low as if I didn't care． There was a fear in me that all my school life would be colorless．
Then on May 4， I was "colorless" in Yixing's book about his life． How could this be true for someone just named the youth idol （青年偶像）？ I read the book again， smiling with the fun part of his childhood and touched by his promise to his mum．
Something wet my eyes when he joked about his training years in Korea． He doubled his practice， pushing himself so hard as to be called "the trainee （练习生） like god"． He said it probably meant "the train like mad"．
I might have tried， but not as hard as he did． "Whenever I feel I might be falling， I tell myself to hold on until I find my moment．" Says Yixing． For me， this moment means a better self inside and a larger world outside． So I told myself I would also make a difference if I could hold on for a longer time．
Luckily， every Youth Day after that， Yixing would be there on CCTV， encouraging me with his progress． When someone asked him what color his training life was， Yixing smiled， "It's colorless． I don't know what color effort is．"
But effort pays． Not he's standing at the Asian Culture Carnival， and I know he is looking forward to something even bigger．

Isn't spring a beautiful season？ Flowers of all colors and shapes can be seen everywhere． They make our world look and smell better． So， it is no surprise that people love flowers! Well…except for one﹣dandelions（蒲公英）!
In order to have a tidy garden， we try our best to kill all dandelions or dig them out﹣only to see these unwanted plants grow right back． But that's not bad because we have good reasons to leave them alone．
In fact， a 2014 study lists dandelions as one of the top 41 healthiest foods． Dandelions are full vitamins （维生素）K， A，E and C． They have long been used as medicine．
Another great thing about dandelions is that you can eat every part of them， either cooked or uncooked． You can also put flowers or roots （根） in hot water to make dandelion tea． Great! Nothing goes to waste!
Besides， dandelions are fun for kids! Pick the white top， close your eyes， make a wish and blow! If you blow all of it off in one breath， your wish will come true! This game is played all over the world．
Still unwanted plants？ Of course not! Dandelions are good for human health as well as our kitchen． They also provide kids with free toys! So next time when you are blowing them， blow harder ﹣you're helping this great plant grow in the wild， even if your own wish does not come true!
