Recently，a very simple question became widely spread online：what China should be proud of？（61） 　 　

Lanlan，whose real name is Negar Kordi，is from Canada．She came to China five years ago and is a student at Ningbo University．Now she has 120，000fans on the Internet and the number is still growing．

Lanlan loves China and Chinese．（62） 　 　And that's why she is so well received among Chinese net friends．The following is china in her eyes．

"It is the easiest country in which to find a job．If you are not too lazy，it is really very simple to find a job in China．I believe there're more job chances here than in any other country in the wold．"

"（63） 　 　About 400million Chinese are studying English．If they can speak good English in the future，China will have the greatest number of English speakers of any non﹣English speaking country．"

"The speed of Chinese trains is fast．From Ningbo to Beijing，the train runs 1，365kilometers for seven hours and the ticket fare is only 595yuan．"

"Its public security is great．（64） 　 　I have travelled in many countries，and I think China really is very safe．"

"There are much more things China should be proud of．Many Chinese people often criticize（批评）China．At first，I believed that they didn't like china or that they loved western countries．But later，I realized that they just set a very high standard for China．（65） 　 　China must be much better than other countries．"

Let children learn to judge（判断） their own work．A child doesn't learn to talk by being corrected all the time．If he is corrected too much，he will stop talking．He notices a thousand times a day the differences between the language he uses and the language others use．Little by little，he makes the necessary changes to make his language like other people's．

In the same way，children learn to do all the other things without being taught﹣to walk，run，climb or ride a bicycle．They compare their performances with those of more skilled people，and slowly make the changes．But in school we never give a child a chance to find out his mistakes and correct them himself．We do it all for him．We thought that he would never notice a mistake unless it was pointed out to him，to correct it unless he has made to．Soon he becomes dependent on the teacher．Let him work out with the help of other children if he wants it．

If it is a matter in math or science，give him the answer book．Let him correct his own papers． Why should we teachers waste time on such daily work ？Our job should be to help the children when they tell us that he can't find the way to get the right answer．Let the children learn what all educated persons must learn，how to measure（估量） their own understanding，how to know what they know or do not know．

Let them get on with this job in their ways．School teachers can offer help if they ask for it．Some parents and teachers are worried that the children might fail to learn something that they will need to get in the world．Don't worry! If it is important，they will go out into the world and learn it．

When I opened my e﹣mail the other day，Rachel，a pretty woman，appeared on my computer screen．She greeted me by name and started talking happily．Sometimes she stopped to smile at me or blow a kiss．It was cool，right？In fact，she was reading to me an e﹣mail from my brother John．

Rachel could be there because of a new technology called Facemail lets you send in a funny way．By using it，your e﹣mails can be read to the receiver by an attractive person or by a clown．You can download the software at www ． Facemail ． comwithout paying．Facemail faces are lively and they can simulate the emotions that you put in you text．For example，type in ，and Rachel blows a kiss．

LifeFX，the company that developed the Facemail，is sure there are wide business uses．Why is e﹣business not so popular now？One of the reasons is that buying online has no human touch．But if you go to the Nike website，and the famous basketball star Michael Jordan greets you by name，serves you，and personally closes the sale，won't you be happy？Also，if mom can't be home when kids get back from school，she can leave a note with a voice and picture on the screen to tell them what there is to eat．

It's true that Facemail makes life easy and fun，but it should be used with care．The clown looks lively and funny at first．But if you choose the clown，put a few rude words in an e﹣mail and add some angry emotions，you've got a Psycho mail．

46．In fact，who is Rachel？ 　 　

A．	She is a pretty actress．

In the town of Lampang in northern Thailand， there is an unusual group of musicians． They play many different kinds of music﹣ ﹣from traditional Thai songs to music by Beethoven． Both children and adults love this group． What makes themso popular？ Is it their music？ Their looks？Yes， it's both of these things，but it's also something else： they're elephants．

These musical elephants are from the Thai Elephant Conservation Center （TECC） in Lampang． The TECC protects elephants． It teaches people to understand and care for these huge，but gentle， animals．And， like many zoos around the world， the TECC encourages elephants to paint．

Richard Lair works with the TECC． He knew that elephants hear better than they see．So he had an idea：if elephants are intelligent and they have good hearing， maybe they can play music．To test his idea，Lair and a friend started the Thai Elephant Orchestra． During a performance， the elephants play a variety of instruments， including the drums and the xylophone． The animals also use their voices and trunks to make sounds．

But can elephants really make music properly？ Yes， says Lair． They 're very creative． Humans may encourage the animals to play instruments， but the elephants make their own songs； they don't just copy their trainers or other people． There are now CDs of the group's music， which make money for the TECC． And the music these artists create is pretty amazing．

Many people love travelling to different countries， but if you plan to go abroad， you should know how to behave in different situations around the world．

Most travellers enjoy meeting new people， but sometimes you can be rude without saying anything． In Russia， you should never shake hands in a doorway， and if you're travelling in Thailand， never touch people's heads or point your feet at people． When the Japanese meet new people， they like giving business cards﹣﹣but you should read the card carefully， not just put it in your pocket．

In most countries in Europe people expect a lot of eye contact when you talk to them， but in many Asian countries a lot of eye contact seems unfriendly．And in South America people usually stand quite close to each other when they talk， but in countries like the USA you need to give people more personal space． Also， it's rude to interruptJapanese people while they are talking to you． You must wait until they finish before you start speaking．

In restaurants in China you can leave a bit of food on your plate， it's OK to start smoking before other people finish eating， which you mustn't do in the UK． When in India， remember to eat with your right hand． Also avoid leaving empty bottles on the dinner table in Russia﹣﹣that's bad luck．

When you're travelling in Asia， if someone invites you to his or her home， don' t forget to take off your shoes when you arrive． And if you visit an Arab family's home， don' t admire anything valuable because your host will feel he should give it to you as a present．

With so much to think about， it's not surprising that many people prefer going on holiday in their own countries﹣﹣or you might just decide to stay at home!
