12． Hu Ming is a professor from the School of Economics at Guizhou University in Southwest China. His 85-year-old mother has Alzheimers disease. So he has to take his mother to class with him. And he has done this for four years.
Maybe you will say he can have some other people take care of his mother, such as his sisters, or nurse. Indeed, he has three sisters. But they couldn't take care of her because his mother only recognizes him and follows him wherever he goes. He also tried a nurse but he failed.
"My mother's illness was so severe. She drank dishwater, and was unable to tell sugar, salt or washing powder apart," explained Hu, who is 58. "She was unable to be without me and always made me worried, so I began to take her with me to class. " "With my mother in sight I was able to pay more attention to teaching," Hu added.
If his mother was unsettled at home, sometimes she made such a mess. And he had to spend a whole day cleaning up. However, she kept quiet in class. Both the students and the university had a pity on Hu and were moved by his action.

13． A 400-year-old bonsai (盆景) tree worth more than﹩50, 000 disappeared from a gardener's collection outside Tokyo, one of several valuable plants stolen last month from a fifth-generation bonsai master. Now the plant's owners have a request for thieves! "Please water it, " said Fuyumi Iimura, the wife of bonsai master Seiji Iimura, whose garden sits in Japan's Saitama Prefecture. "We treated these miniature trees like our children, Fuyumi Iimura told the reporters, adding, I want whoever took the bonsais to make sure they are watered." "The 400-year-old plant can't make it a week without water," she said.
Seiji Iimura walked into his garden the morning of January 13 and noticed four missing among his collection of about 3, 000 bonsai trees, according to Asahi Shimbun, a Japanese newspaper. Growing bonsais outdoors is necessary, and kept his farm open to the public so bonsai fans could feel close to these beautiful trees.
Now the garden has cameras, though, and Iimura plans to soon add a fence (篱笆). Police have had little luck finding the thieves. On the black market, stolen bonsai can sell for tens of thousands of dollars, Asahi Shimbun reported, with Seiji Iimura pricing the 400-year-old bonsai at more than ﹩54, 000.
The efforts to grow bonsai is said to form a deep emotional bond between the gardener and plant. That makes them become good "friends" for ever. Iimura had cared for the 400-year-old bonsai tree for 25 years, and hopes the global media will stop their sale on the black market. Stolen bonsais have been known to be shipped abroad to Europe," said Iimura. "I like this kind of gardening. It is like art. But now what I can do is to protect the bonsai trees left "

14． More and more children use mobile phones in their daily life. This is too harmful to their eyes and studies. And this makes their parents worried and helpless. "Mobile phones should be kept away from classrooms," the UK minister for schools has said. Nick Gibb said he had concerns about the effect that the phone was having on children.
And he said the government should introduce lessons to students on how to limit their screen time.
Mr. Gibb said, "Schools are free to set their own rules and my own view is that schools should ban (禁止) mobile telephones and smartphones inside schools, and especially inside classrooms. I believe very strongly that children should not use mobile phones at home. Every hour spent online and on a smartphone is an hour less talking to family, it's an hour less study or exercise and it's an hour less sleep. And it can have a damaging effect on a child's mental health."
Parents are told that children will be asked to take a rest at least every two hours and avoid social media before bedtime. The UK would be following in the footsteps of European countries if schools were to introduce a ban. For example, French students are told to leave their smartphones at home when they return from their summer holidays.
Speaking at the Festival of Education at Wellington College last summer, Sir Michael said that any sensible way would ban mobile phones. "It's too distracting (使人分心的) for children having mobile phones. Texting, playing games, all these take place. Mobile phones go into classrooms and make students not study hard. Ban them. If children want to use a phone in an emergency, they can use the school phone."

15． As graduation season gets underway in June and July, graduates are departing to different destinations to celebrate the start of a new chapter in their lives.
For graduation trips, Chengdu in Sichuan province, Guangzhou in Guangdong province, Chongqing, Shenzhen in Guangdong and Hangzhou in Zhejiang province were listed as the top five most popular destinations for domestic (国内的) tours. Thailand and the United States are popular among overseas destinations.
Making trips and taking stylish photos are now a standard to mark graduation for those who were born between 1995 and 2005. It is reported that the market of graduation tours has run beyond 15 billion yuan. Young people are good at using travel apps to get more information and their decision-making is quite fast. It's possible that just because of a song, a book, a TV drama, or a chat with someone, they may decide to take a trip somewhere.
Compared with those who were born in the 1980s, and usually like to plan ahead carefully, the younger generations are deemed more free and casual. 56 percent of customers who were born after 1995 book accommodation on the day they need to stay there. Besides, 1. 12 percent of students buy plane tickets after they arrive at an airport. They have also become less price sensitive, and look for higher quality trips. Most trips involve groups of two to five people, according to Qunar.
This year, college students who traveled by air with their boyfriends or girlfriends accounted for 9. 6 percent of the total, up 0. 8 percent year-on-year. Those who traveled by air with friends made up 6. 7 percent, edging up 0. 3 percent over last year, Qunar said. Last year, students who had just finished their college entrance examinations favored Shanghai, with many visiting the city's Disneyland. Kunming, Yunnan province, and Beijing are also popular, the report said.

16． Our earth is changing all the time. The surface of the earth is changing in every second. When parts of the earth wear away it is erosion(腐蚀). Sometimes it may take many years for erosion to happen. So we can't see it in a short time.
Rivers can make erosion happen. Rivers grow wider and deeper end cut into the land rock The river water takes away bits of rock and dirt. In all periods of river erosion by far the most erosion happens during times of flood, when more and faster﹣moving water can carry a larger number of earth away,
Oceans can make erosion happen. The waves wash up strongly against the sand. They carry away some of the sand. Sometimes ocean waves can cause so much erosion. And many people lose their homes. So people living near the seaside must cure about this kind of erosion. It may influence their life.
Rain can make erosion happen. It washes away the loose dirt and turns into mud. The surface runoff (地表径流) may result from rainfall. Little by little, a lot of rich farmland will disappear from the earth.
Wind can make erosion happen. When the land is too dry , the wind picks up and carries away loose soil. Some small and light particles (颗粒)are lifted into the air by the wind and are often carried for long distances. Wind erosion can be as much as 6. 100 times greater in drought years than in wet years.
Our earth is facing different kinds of erosion all the time. Let's try our best to protect our earth It s our home, it's our life and it's our future.
