On April 1st， April Fools Day， friends play fun tricks on each other． One year at college my friends and I wanted to play a really big trick on our teacher， Jason． He was a fun guy who loved tricks．
My friends and I bought 300 balloons and a lot of colored paper． Then we began blowing all the balloons up and filling them with the Colored paper． It took us all day， but in the end we blew up all 300 balloons．

When Jason came back， he went into the bathroom first． He saw the balloons and shouted， "What？!" And then we began popping（爆裂）the balloons． There was colored paper everywhere! Jason laughed and laughed．It's OK guys，" he said； "That was funny， but I'm tired and I'm going to bed．" He went into his bedroom and saw the other balloons． "Come on guys，"he said， "No， no!"

Wu Yue， a 14﹣year﹣old student at a Junior High School in Hangzhou， usually has lunch with his classmates in their dining hall． But one day， a newcomer， the school headmaster， joined them at the same table． They talked about the food that the dining hall offered and had a nice chat．
Wu is not alone． Many students across China have the chance to eat with their headmasters． The government issued a notice on food safety and nutrition （营养） management in schools， asking headmasters from kindergarten to high school to have meals with students． The rule took effect（生效） on April 1st．
Many schools now have seats for school managers when they eat with students in the dining Hall． After talking with them， the managers have to write reports and make suggestions to dining hall workers． Many students were asked about the food that they liked most． To their surprise， their favorite dishes appeared in the dining hall later． "It's not just about the food． It makes me feel that I have a say in school，" explained one student． "My ideas are valued．"
Some headmasters regard these mealtime conversations as their main chance to communicate with students． And they notice that some students prefer meat to vegetables． "We are thinking about how to improve the dining hall's dishes and provide students with a healthy diet，" one headmaster said． As students become more familiar with the school managers， they begin to express their own points of view．

Are you short﹣sighted？ If you are， your parents might have tried to do something to fix it， such as having you get an eye massage（按摩）， take medicine or even get surgery（手术）． People who offer these services or products often say that they can reduce or even cure short sight．
However， you will no longer see advertisements like this before long． The government has issued a notice to ban（禁止） businesses from using words like "recovery" or "short sight cure" in
their advertisements．
The notice says that short sight cannot be completely cured with current medical technology． Therefore， these advertisements could mislead children and their parents．
Young people can prevent and control short sight by spending more time outside and less time in front of books or computers． People who have sight problems should first go to a hospital and let a doctor decide what to do．
More than 450 million Chinese have suffered from short sight since June 2018． Short sight rates are around 30 percent for primary school students， 60 percent for junior high school students and 80 percent for senior high school students． This is likely because students spend a lot of time reading books and using electronic devices．

Time flies． My summer vacation ended in the blink of an eye， but one thing is still on my mind． From July 25 to 27， I worked as a volunteer at the Wolong China Giant Panda Garden in Sichuan． I experienced the life of being a panda keeper．
My work included cleaning the pandas' home， feeding the pandas and making food for them． The panda I took care of was named Jingke． When I went to feed him， he would stretch（伸出） one of his forefeet out on a shelf that hung on the fence and wait for his food． He would quickly grab the food as soon as I brought it to him． Can you guess what would happened next？ Jingke would lie down and begin to eat． I could hear him crunching（嘎吱作响地咀嚼） on his food and see him twisting his body around like a dancer． It was really cute． This was one of the most interesting things I saw when I worked there．
When I fed Jingke， I touched his fur（毛）． Most people think that panda's fur would be soft． But actually， panda's fur is very hard． I felt like I was touching needles．I looked at his teeth， too﹣ they were sharp and big． No wonder the panda keepers told us that pandas are not only cute， but also dangerous．

How do people find their ways？ At first， people did it by looking at the sun， the moon and stars， Later， we started to use the compass（指南针）．Today， there are navigation satellite systems．
A navigation satellite system uses groups of satellites， They send information to a receiver， such as your smart phone． Then they can find where you are．

What's a spacewalk？ Any time an astronaut gets out of a spacecraft（航天器） while in space， it is called a spacewalk． Astronauts go on spacewalks for many reasons． For example， experiments can be placed on the outside of a spacecraft． This lets scientists learn how being in space affects（ 影响） different things． By going on spacewalks， astronauts can also fix things instead of bringing them back to the earth to fix．
When astronauts go on spacewalks， they wear spacesuits to keep themselves safe． Inside spacesuits， astronauts have the oxygen（氧气） they need to breathe and the water they need to drink． To keep the astronauts and the spacecraft safe， the astronauts must leave and go back to the spacecraft through a special door． When on a spacewalk， astronauts use safety tethers to stay close to their spacecraft． Tethers are like ropes， connect the spacewalkers with the spacecraft． They keep astronauts from floating（ 漂 浮 ） away into space． Another way astronauts stay safe during spacewalks is by wearing a SAFER． SAFER is worn like a backpack． It helps an astronaut move around in space．
How do astronauts train for spacewalks？ One way is by going for a swim． Floating in space is a lot like floating in water． Astronauts practice spacewalks underwater in a huge special swimming pool． For every one hour they will spend on a spacewalk， astronauts need to train seven hours in the pool． Another way astronauts practice for a spacewalk is by using virtual reality（虚拟现实）． It looks and feels just like a spacewalk．
Today， only three countries have finished spacewalks independently． They are Russia， the United States and China． The first person to go on a spacewalk in the world was Alexei Leonov from Russia． Zhai Zhigang is the first Chinese astronaut to go on a spacewalk． The world record of spacewalks is held by Russian astronaut Anatoly Solovyev． He has been on 16 spacewalks and spent more than 82 hours outside in space．

I was filled with doubts and worries until my grandfather told me to stand tall．

"Stand straight， stand tall，" he would always tell himself． I am so proud of my grandfather． After listening to my grandfather 's unusual experiences， I have changed the way I look at my own life．
