There's an old saying: "Laughter is the best medicine," and modern research certainly shows that laughing is good for you. When you have a good laugh, you exercise your muscles (肌肉),strengthen your heart and balance your body chemistry. However, these are the results of having laugh, not the explanations (解释)of why we do it.
Until recently, scientists believed that laughter was a human behaviour only. They argued that people find jokes funny because we can put ourselves in another person's shoes, and that animals can't do that.People don't all have the same sense of humour. Sometimes there isn't any joke,or we may not have heard it but we laugh because the people around us are laughing. How long and how loud we would laugh are also shared. We just go on following the example with one another until the laughter fades away (消失).
Many pet owners insist that animals have a sense of humour, too. For example, pet dogs often run away with a slipper (拖鞋) and then stop, inviting their owners to run after them. Dogs even seem to smile when their owners join in the game. As the game continues, our pets make noises that are very like laughter. You can compare this behaviour to the laughter of a baby, who continually throws a toy down, waits for the adult to pick it up and throws it down again.
Perhaps laughter is just a sign that we are having fun. Fun, like laughter, is best when we share it with friends.

You may have already forgotten the days when you had to learn how to use chopsticks.Every Chinese kid manages to use them for some time. But chopsticks are not just simple tools to pick up food. They come with their Own special rules and traditions.
Generally, people should not make noise with chopsticks. Playing with chopsticks is seen as bad manners, just as playing with forks and knives in a Western country would be rude.
There are also some superstitions (迷信) related to chopsticks. For example, some people believe that chopsticks should not be left standing upright in a bowl. It looks like the incense (香)that Chinese use to honor the dead.Doing it at the dinner table is believed to bring bad luck.
You should not tap(敲) chopsticks on the edge of the bowl either, as beggars (乞丐) do this to ask for food. Parents might get angry if children do this as they don't want their children to be as poor as beggars in the future.
Besides, chopsticks can also be a great gift. In Chinese, "chopsticks" are known as "kuaizi",so newlyweds (新婚夫妇) feel happy to receive chopsticks as a wedding gift. Skilled craftsmen (手艺人)paint beautiful pictures on chopsticks to make them look like fine artwork.

The cultural relics (遗物) and documents (文件) in the palace show how the royal families lived. They are still used today for historical research, as well as inspiration for literature (文学) and entertainment (娱乐).
In 1987, the Forbidden City was listed as a UNESCO World Heritage site.For world leaders who visit China, it has become a must﹣see.In 2017,when US President Donald Trump paid a state visit to China,President Xi Jinping and his wife Peng Liyuan welcomed Trump and his wife there.

Social media(媒体)is a big part of most people's lives. There are social apps and sites like WeChat and Sina Weibo, as well as video apps like Douyin and Kuaishou. How do you behave when you use these apps?
Recently researchers at the University of Sussex,UK, studied social media users ranging from 10
to 15 years old. They found that they can be divided into four personality types.
Geeks(极客)
Geeks are active social media users,but they find it much more difficult to deal with the life in the real world. Most of them are boys who like playing computer games and making music and videos. They often post creative works online, using fake(假的) names. In fact, they should avoid spending too much time on the Internet.
Internet celebrities
Internet celebrities like sharing as well , but they are much more visible (看得见的) than geeks. They might become well﹣known for their singing or dancing. But many of them, especially teenagers ,share almost every side of their lives in order to own more fans. Being a teenage Internet celebrity can sometimes cause problems in the real world.
Lurkers(潜伏者)
The first two groups are lucky to find a place to show their talent. But most teenagers fall into the third type﹣﹣﹣﹣ "lurkers",or people who are neither too active nor visible.This group prefers WeChat over Sina Weibo, as WeChat has private groups. They can't express themselves well but at least they make sure to protect their personal information.
Victims(受害者)
Victims don't have enough knowledge to keep themselves safe online Their personal information can be made public and cause problems for them. To avoid being a victim, you should check your personal settings on social media."Friends only" is a good choice for your posts. Don't share your personal information.
