Every Saturday, Wang Weifang puts on a play with his friends in a small town near Xi’an. The audience（观众）can hear them, but they cannot see them. That is because they are putting on a shadow puppet（皮影）play. Shadow puppets are made of hard leather（皮革）. The leather is cut out in the shape of a person, an animal or an object. Each puppet is painted in bright colors and put on a stick. Some puppets have movable arms and legs.
During a shadow puppet play, Wang stands behind a white screen with lights behind it. The audience sit in front of the screen. Wang and his friends hold the puppets very close to the screen so that the audience can see the puppets’ shadows clearly. Then they move the puppets around and do the voices of the different characters.
Shadow puppet play is a kind of ancient Chinese art. Now with TV and films, shadow puppet plays are not as popular as before. Wang and his friends often work very hard for little money, but they do not mind. They want to keep this traditional art form alive.

Since July 2019， Shanghai has been the first city to sort their garbage．Staring on May 1"．2020， Beijing also became one of the members by introducing a new garbage sorting policy．Green garbage has come to China．
In the past， people put a lot of garbage into one pile and then took the garbage to landfill sites．These landfill sites， however， could pollute the land and water． So， if we can find ways to reuse or recycle more garbage， then we will cause less pollution．
The new plan asks people to put their garbage into four different boxes， one for each type of garbage． The brown box is for "wet garbage" （such as food and drink waste）， The red one is for harmful waste （such as batteries and electronics）． The blue one is for recyclable things （such as paper and plastic）．And finally， the black one is for"dry garbage" （everything else）． This "sort your garbage" plan is the same as other plans used by cities around the world． These plans have been very successful． In Canada， it's expected that 85% of plastic will be recycled by 2025．
Why should we sort our garbage？The reason is that we are producing increasing amount of waste every year．It's reported that Chinese cities produce over 200 million tons of waste each year．Reducing that amount will surely help the environment．
However．the garbage sorting is a long journey as it takes time for people to learn and form a habit．More cities are on their way．By 2005 ，it's hoped most Chinese cities will complete the building of garbage sorting．

When Chinese people talk about the mouse，they are likely to see it as greedy and dishonest．It mainly comes from a Chinese folk story about the cat and the mouse．
One day， the mouse and the cat made an appointment to attend a competition held by the Jade Emperor． It would decide the zodiac animals． However， the mouse did not wake the cat up and at last won by riding on the ox's back． So the mouse ranked first on the 12 Chinese zodiac signs， and because of that， people think the mouse betrayed his friend．
Probably not! Human culture is funny． There are always different ways to look at the same thing．
In another folk story， people treated the mouse as a great hero． It's said that the mouse created the world by taking a bite of heaven， bringing light to humans． It helped people survive by scaling firewood and gain seeds （种子）．As a result， many people respect the mouse by offering food and praying for success．
Since mice live together in societies and have many babies with a high survival rate，they also represent cooperation（合作）and reproduction．With these qualities，it's believed that people born he Year of the Mouse are smart and good at making money．
