What do you see when you look at abstract（抽象） art？Does it make sense to you？Does it look like anything？Is it supposed to？
Abstract art became popular in the early 20th century．Artists did not want to paint，draw，or sculpt things exactly（确切地） like they looked．They didn't want their art to be realistic．They were more interested in basic shapes and colours．
Picasso is probably the most famous of these artists．He painted and drew in many，many styles．Sometimes he used a lot of blue colours（his"blue period"）．Later，he used more red and pink colours （his"rose period"）．Many of his other paintings are called"cubist（立体画派）"because they are made of painted squares．
After a long time，Picasso's paintings became more and more abstract．He painted people and things using strange shapes．His work was so original； many of his fellow artists didn't understand it．
Kandinsky，another famous artist，used lines，shapes，and patterns to paint his subjects．His paintings also used strong colours to express feelings．
Other artists like the surrealists（超现实主义者），were interested in subconscious（潜意识）．Painters like Breton and Magritte used many symbol in their work．The meaning or subject of their work wasn't always clear．Dali，another surrealist artist，painted pictures that look like dreams．
There are still many abstract artists around the world．That's the way many artists prefer．They want each person to look at art and find their own meaning in it．

Q： At recess（课间休息）， I don't know what to do because all my friends are playing games I don' like or don't want to play． So I end up standing by myself at recess doing nothing． What should I do？
Alex rider，13， Bloomfield，N．J．
A： In fact， recess was my least favorite part of the school day for Grades 1 to 5． I was never really into playing kickball． So， like you， I spent many days at recess standing alone． Take advantage of the extra time you have．I learned that reading a book is the best way to pass time， especially if it is sunny． Books are good for a lonely recess，because they take you out of your world and into another． If reading isn't your thing， then try making new friends． Some other things I would do at recess were chess and paper cutting． Those might be worth trying． Maybe the teacher who is watching over all the kids needs someone to talk to as well． Whatever you want to do， don't let your time go to waste．Johnny Hayes， 15 |
A： Do you believe in time travel， Alex？Because you just dragged me 40 years into the past． When I was 13， half my friends threw themselves into kickball at recess﹣ which was too vigorous（剧烈的） for me right after lunch． So， like you， I stood around a lot． Then， one day， my teacher， Susie， asked me．"What do you want to do？ I had no answer for her． But suddenly， it came to me： marbles! I asked a few friends， and they were happy to join me． Now， I'm not suggesting you play marbles， only that you consider what you feel like doing and can make you happy． And one last idea： There's no harm in trying games your friends are playing that you think you won't like． You might just surprise yourself． Philip Galanes， adult |

When our son Bradley was ten, the new bicycle he had received earlier that year was stolen． Owning a bicycle was a big deal to our children when they were little． They spent hours and hours, day after day, on their bicycles, riding up and down the footpath, and at the front of the house． We also rode together as a family a lot． Bicycling was a great way to get the kids out of the house and into the fresh air without spending any money．
Bradley had discovered that his bicycle had been stolen from our backyard in Campbelltown, South Australia, when he and his sister went outside for a morning ride． He couldn't believe that someone would do this．
He got a large piece of cardboard, painted a sign begging for the bicycle to be returned, and tied the sign to the letterbox． The following morning, when I went out to collect the mail, I found a white envelope with the magical words, " Buy yourself a new bicycle"． There was a ＄100 banknote inside．
We were very touched that someone had the heart to do this． We've never been able to thank the person but we suspect（猜想）that it may have been one of our wonderful neighbours． Bradley painted a big" !" on the sign and we left it outside for a couple of weeks afterwards, hoping the kind stranger would drive down our street．
A delighted Bradley was able to buy a new bicycle． As the years went on, the bicycles became bigger and more expensive but remained just as important for those family bicycle rides． Now Bradley is 25． Sometimes I miss the days when receiving a bicycle was the best thing in the world to them．
All these years later we are still thankful for the stranger's kindness． We were a young family with three little children and it meant a lot to us． We still talk about it and, even now, wonder who the kind stranger was．

In many places the weather changes during the year． These changes are called seasons． In the north and south there are four seasons in a year． At the North and South Pole， there are only two seasons． In tropical（热带） places near the Earths equator（ 赤道）． there are two seasons a wet season and a dry season． Each season brings changes． They are important for plants and animals that live in different parts of the world．
Spring starts when the day and night are the same length． The weather gets warmer and sunnier． Trees and plants start to grow． Many animals have their babies in spring．
Summer begins on the longest day of the year． In the north this is on June 21 or 22． Summer is usually the warmest and sunniest time of the year． Fruit grows faster on trees and plants． Young animals grow bigger and stronger．
Autumn starts when the day and night are the same length again． During autumn， the leaves change color and fall down from the trees． Some animals collect food before winter comes．
Winter begins on the shortest day of the year． In the north this is on December 21 or 22． The weather is colder and in some places there is lots of snow． Plants and trees stop growing． Some animals， like bats and bears， find places to hide and sleep． This is called hibernation．

Technology is everywhere． We see it any place we go and， in fact， almost all of us carry some piece of technology with us every time we leave the house． What I always forget， though， is just how useful and powerful technology can be when we want to help others．
There is not a single room in my house that does not have some electronic devices （设备）lying around in it． Whenever I am at home， I am almost always using at least one electronic device． If you walked into my living room on any given day， you would find that， first， I have the television on． At the same time， I usually have my laptop resting on my knee， or I will be using my mobile phone． Even when I'm not at home I am always using my phone， and at work or in cafes， I sit down and connect to the local wireless network on my laptop．
I must say that I waste a lot of time on the computer and the time I spend on it could be much better spent if I were to take up a little online volunteering．
The technology we carry about everywhere can have a great power to do good for the world and to help others and recently I discovered just how much online volunteering there is to do in the world． From using your language skills to do translations， to developing and managing projects and helping with IT work， there is so much that so many people can do to help people in their own countries and across the world． The United Nations， in fact， has a huge page with "Volunteers Recruited" on its website．
This work can support the poor and help charities who cannot pay for staff members． Many organizations only require you to work an hour a week﹣some even less． And the support provided by online volunteers can really help make a difference to those in need．

Every night in Jinan University in Guangzhou，a group of students plays diabolo （空竹） as a crowd watches on in amazement．
