13． When 4-year-old British Prince George started his first day of school in September, 2017, Chinese language was on his course.
And he wasn't alone. According to a report in September, about 51 percent of UK parents want their children to learn Chinese, as it's believed to be one of the most useful languages to know.
In fact, the popularity of Chinese drove the UK government to launch the Chinese Excellence Program in September last year. Its goal is to make at least 5, 000 British state middle school students speak Chinese well by 2020.
The language has become the second most spoken foreign language in the US, after only Spanish (西班牙语), with over 2. 1 million speakers, according to a survey.
Many US famous people such as Facebook founder (脸书创始人) Mark Zuckerberg and Obama's daughter, Malia Obama, study Chinese as a second language.
So far, 67 countries and regions (地区) have included Chinese in their national course, so why are so many countries crazy about learning Chinese?
One reason could be that as China continues to develop quickly, Chinese is increasingly becoming a useful tool for people's personal and professional growth. "I think everyone believes that China will be the next great superpower (超级大国). .. even if it' s not a superpower like America. It still has an important influence in the future, " said Aisling.
McCaffrey from Canada, who studied at the Renmin University of China, "Learning Chinese is the best way to make sure that you can be part of that growth. "
This opinion was shared by former (前任的) British Prime Minister David Cameron, who urged(呼吁) British students to learn Chinese to "seal (抓住) tomorrow's business deals" in 2013.

14． What is the difference between a fear and a phobia? You might have a fear of dogs if you have ever been bitten by one. However, if you avoid walking down streets where you think there might be a dog, you may have a phobia, which is a strong unnatural fear. If the fear has started to change a person's life, he or she probably has a phobia. Different surveys say that between 10 and 80 percent of us have at least one phobia.
You can probably guess what some of the most "popular" phobias are. Flying may be the safest way to travel, but many people are scared of doing it. Fear of heights is also very common. For example, Spider-Man actor Tobey Maquire can't stand high places. However, Tobey is not afraid of spiders that most people are afraid of. Rupert Grint, who plays in the Harry Potter movies, is in fear of spiders. "In one scene of the movie, we come into the large spider's hole, and there we meet a spider that is the size of an elephant and really scary because he has these hairs. I'm really scared of spiders," he said.
Some people have phobias that are more unusual. For example, cats are very cute for most of us, but not for such powerful people in history as Alexander the Great and Napolean Bonaparte. Actor Nicole Kidman says, "I'm not scared of snakes or spiders, but I'm scared of butterflies. Sometimes when I came home from school, the biggest butterfly you had ever seen would be just sitting on our front gate. I would climb over the fence, move slowly to the side of the house, or do anything to avoid having to go through the front gate." Clowns (小丑) are not so funny for actor Johnny Depp, whose childhood memory of the "painted faces and fake smiles" still makes him scared. Some other weird (怪诞的) phobias, including chewing gum, old doors or windows and footsteps, also fear some famous persons, such as Orah Winfred, Billy Bob and Sigmund Fred.

15． " Don't tell anyone". We hear these words when someone tells a secret to us. But it can be hard to keep a secret. We're often tempted to " spill the beans", even if we regret it later.
According to Asim Shah, a professor at Baylor College of Medicine, US, keeping a secret may well "become a burden". This is because people often have an "obsessive (过度的)and anxious urge to share it with someone".
An earlier study, led by Anita E. Kelly, a scientist at the University of Notre Dame, US, suggested that keeping a secret could cause stress. People entrusted with secrets can suffer from depression (沮丧), anxiety, and body aches, reported the Daily Mail.
But with secrets so often getting out, why do people share them at all? Shah explained that people often feel that it will help them keep a person as a friend. Another reason people share secrets is guilt over keeping it from someone close to them. A sense of distrust can develop when people who are close do not share it with each other. "Keeping or sharing secrets often puts people in a position of either gaining or losing the trust of someone, " according to Shah.
He added that talkative people could let secrets slip out. But this doesn't mean that it is a good idea only to share secrets with quiet people. A quiet person may be someone who keeps everything inside. To tell such a person a secret may cause them stress, and make them talk about the secret.
Shah said that to judge whether to tell someone a secret, you'd better put yourself in their position. Think about how you would feel to be told that you mustn't give the information away. Shah also recommended that if you accidentally give up someone's secret, you should come clean about it. Let the person know that their secret isn't so secret anymore.

16． Cooperation and competition are both important. They're necessary for a person to achieve success in life.
Learn to be cooperative with others. No one likes a selfish or greedy person. However, everyone likes a cooperative and friendly person. Everything we do today, whether in doing business or making friends, depends on our ability to get along with one another. In our society, most tasks need cooperation in order that they can be finished successfully. So we must try to be cooperative. Each person is like a small part of a machine. If one part is out of order, the machine can't be running well. Besides, transportation and communication systems are developing quickly, and people all over the world can keep in touch with each other more easily. It's hard for a person that is away from the society to have a deep understanding of the world he lives in. Cooperation is becoming more and more important for a person to lead a good life.
　　Being competitive also has a place in life. If you want to get more success and be better than others, you must work harder and study more carefully. The desire to succeed and do better than others encourages us to work harder. If there were no competitions, a sports meeting would never be exciting or successful. We often compete to get a better environment. We cooperate with others to be more competitive.
