"The grass looks greener on the other side of the fence." That's an old in English. It means other places often look better, more interesting than the place you live. Some people worry young Chinese are beginning to feel that way. They see young Chinese ignoring 忽视Chinese culture and, instead, Japanese cartoon books, watching Korean soap operas and even celebrating western holidays.
Foreign books and soap operas are good, Chinese writers and actors are just as good. As for holidays, Christmas is nice, but it can have the meaning for Chinese that Spring Festival has, and the West has nothing to compare with Mid-autumn Festival. And let's not forget the part of Chinese culture I like best: friendliness. Not all countries are as as China.
It's good to enjoy other cultures and to learn them, but they cannot replace your own culture. It's good to look on the other side of the fence, but you take a good long look. You will find that the grass isn't always greener on the other side of the fence.

These days，Chinese children are sometimes busier on weekends than weekdays because they have to take so many after﹣school classes.Many of them are learning exam skills so that they can get into a good high school and later a good university.Others are practicing sports so that they can compete and win.However，this doesn't only happen in China.
The Taylors are a typical American family.Life for Cathy Taylor's three children is very busy. "On most days after school，" Cathy says， "I take one of my two boys to basketball practice and my daughter to football training.Then I have to take my other son to piano lessons.Maybe I could cut out a few of their activities，but I believe these activities are important for my children's future.I really want them to be successful.However，the tired children don't get home until after 7：00 p.m.They have a quick dinner，and then it's time for homework.
Linda Miller，a mother of three，knows all about such stress. "In some families，competition starts very young and continues until the kids get older，" she says. "Mothers send their small kids to all kinds of classes.And they are always comparing them with other children.It's crazy.I don't think that's fair.Why don't they just let their kids be kids？People shouldn't push their kids so hard."
Doctors say too much pressure is not good for a child's development.Dr.Alice Green says all these activities can cause a lot of stress for children. "Kids should have time to relax and think for themselves，too.Although it's normal to want successful children，it's even more important to have happy children."
（1）What's the common problem for Chinese and American families？
（2）What's Cathy Taylor's idea about so many after﹣school activities？
（3）What does Linda Miller think about after﹣school activities？
（4）What's Dr.Alice Green's opinion about afterschool activities？

The human brain weighs about 1.4 kilograms，but it can hold much more information than most computers.However，there is another difference between human brains and computers.Computers don't forget information they are given，but humans often do.No one remembers everything，and luckily we don't usually have to.But everyone can improve their memories if they want to.Here are some suggestions.
Try to use new information immediately.For example，if you meet someone who says "Hi!I'm Carlos"，don't just say "hello".Repeat the person's name and say "Hello，Carlos".
Break a big number into small parts.For example，it's hard to remember 109244153.But if you break it into three parts﹣109/244/153，it will become easier.
Write down what you need to remember over and over again.This will help you keep it in mind longer，especially when memorizing formulas or facts.
Always review information.If you bring what you've learned back to your mind，it'll become easier to remember.For example，before you go to sleep，it's a good idea to review the new things you've learned that day.
Discuss things with friends.It is always easier to remember things through discussions.You can have a discussion about what's right or wrong，and it will lead to the right answer.
All of the suggestions are helpful.If you follow them，you are certain to improve your memory.

Reading is fun!You can also analyze texts（文本）to learn more from the texts and about the texts.One way you can do this with fiction books，passages，or poems is by exploring their themes.
A theme is a central idea running throughout the text，connecting the characters and events.The writer may express his or her thoughts about humanity or a worldview through a theme.Themes can be ideas like friendship，bravery，love，honesty or family.Make sure you know what the writer is saying.
Sometimes，themes are hard to find out.First，the theme may not be able to be included in just one word like the examples above.There may also be more than one theme in the text.What's more，some themes are not presented in the words directly.You have to use clues in the texts to find them.
To start exploring the theme，first you need to make sure you've read the whole text.Since themes develop over time，you can't fully understand the underlying themes until the end of the text.Then，ask yourself to sum up（概括）the text and try to work out a "big idea".For example，did many characters resolve problems with their families？If there was only one small problem with a character's family，then "family" might not be the theme of the text.Finally，after finding out a "big idea"，go through the text to find examples that support this idea.You needn't repeat every detail of the story﹣a few key examples will be fine.
Now you are ready to explore the theme of a text!
| Exploring the （1） of a text |

Connect your main branches （分支） to the central picture and connect your second﹣and﹣third﹣level branches to the first and second levels，etc.Why？Because your brain works by connection（4） If you connect the branches，you will understand and remember a lot more easily.
Use one key word every line.Why？Because every single key word can make you learn more clearly and easily.
（5） Why？Because each picture，just like the central picture，is also worth a thousand words.So，if you have 10 pictures in your mind map，they are already worth 10，000 words of notes.
Try to use more colors.Why？Because colors are as exciting to your brain as pictures.Color adds great energy to your creative thinking，and is fun!

There are two ways in which one can own a book.One is to pay for it，just as you pay for clothes and furniture （家具）.But full ownership comes only when you have made it a part of yourself. （2）
There are three kinds of book owners.（3） The second has most of the books that are as clean as those on the day they were bought.The third has a few dog﹣eared （翻折的）books，which are marked from front to back.
Why is marking a book necessary？ （4） And reading is thinking.The marked book is usually the thought﹣through book.Writing helps you remember the thoughts you had a lot，or the thoughts the writer expressed.
（5） The book you read for pleasure can be read in a state （状态）of relation，and nothing is lost.But for a great book，rich in ideas，you can't let your eyes move across the lines.You should come up with an understanding of what you have read.

Most of us have three meals a day .We take food for granted(想当然)。And we don’t think about it. experts argue a food crisis(危机)is coming.This crisis is going to make us the way we think about food.
Food is in great need a growing of world population.By 1960,the population was three billion.It doubled to six billion by 1999.By 2050,this planet will need to at least nine billion people.As a result,the food prices get higher and higher.
So,what can a ,crowed world do?One suggestion is to eat meat.Meat uses more natural resources(资源)than grains(谷物) .It requires more to produce one pound of meat than to produce one pound of grain. It also requires between 5 and 10 times more than vegetables. So ,eating less meat will more land for farming,and it will save water.
To eats less meat,people will need to change their eating habits. That will not be .Americans, for example,have loved meat. In general, They eat twice as much meat as people in other countries.At the same time,in developing countries like China and Brazil,sales of meat have doubled in the last 20 years. will double again by 2050.Growing need of meat wil1 to put pressure on natural resources.
World population is increasing,resources are becoming fewer,and food prices are rising.Therefore, we need to rethink we eat every day. For meat lovers, we don’t need to give up meat .But we need to eat more grains and less meat.21cnjy
