4．　　As the world experiences more bad weather, it' s easy to see the influence of climate (气候) change. It is now a common topic of discussion and has even found its way into the books we read. Because of this, a new kind of science fiction called climate fiction, or cli-fi, has found a new life.
　　Climate fiction refers to stories with the theme of climate change or global warming. These books can help us imagine what the world might be like in the future because of climate change events.
　　Adeline Johns-Putra is a researcher at Xi'an Jiaotong-Liverpool University in Suzhou, China. He has produced many books on climate fiction. "It's part of a pattern", he told Smithsonian Magazine. "These books meet our need to learn more about climate change and improve our awareness of it."
　　The genre is becoming popular with high school and college students. After all, it looks at a topic that is related to what's really happening in the world today. Many di-i novels have dystopian (反乌托邦的) themes. These themes are popular with young adult readers. Cli-fi has encouraged some students to choose science as well when they enter college. Some universities even offer courses in climate fiction.
　　"These books aren't going to save the world in any straight way," Johns-Putra said. "But they are certainly going to help us think about how the world gets saved. "

Yu and her teammates have to complete a 400-meter race within 70 seconds. (3)      "When I practice heading the ball, it often hits my nose!Before I started training, I thought it was easy to head a ball. But it really hurts a lot." Yu added.
　　(4)      "Nobody will care if you are a boy or a girl. We just live like boys!" 14-year-old player Tan Xi with strong muscles (肌肉) and short hair said.
　　(5)      "Never!" Tan said. "I love playing soccer. I like running on the grass and scoring goals. When I think about some great soccer players, I feel encouraged to keep on. Soccer is part of my life."

6．　　Almost all the parents in China are very generous when it comes to the education of children. Not caring about the money, parents often send their children to the best schools or even abroad to study. Many force their children to take after﹣school activities. Parents believe that the more expensive an education is, the better it is. So they pay an unreasonable amount of money for education. Even poor couples buy a piano for their children.
　　However, most parents fail to realize that different children have different special skills. They are good in some areas while poor in others. The problem is that parents are only educating their children on how to get good grades. They pay less attention to some most important skills that can build the children's confidence and fill them with pride.
　　In fact, it is easy for parents to help children achieve these by teaching practical skills like cooking, sewing and other housework. Cooking will improve many skills children need later in life. Though demanding patience and time, it is an enjoyable experience. A good cook always tries to improve his cooking, so he works hard and gradually finishes his job successfully. The result, a well-cooked dinner, will make him satisfied and confident.
　　Some old machines, such as a broken radio or TV set that you give your child as a toy to play with will make him interested. If he spends hours looking at them and trying to fix them, he might become an engineer when he grows up. These activities are teaching children to think and to use their minds, which is more important.

7．　　Known as the mother river by all the Chinese people, the 5, 464-kilometer (about 3, 395 miles) Yellow River is the second longest in China after the Yangtze River.

Here the river splits the Loess Plateau (黄土高原) in half, forming the longest continuous gorge in the whole drainage area of the river. The lower reaches ends in a delta (三角洲) on the Bohai Sea.

　　 It is agreed by almost all the Chinese people that the Yellow River is the spiritual home of the Chinese people. It is the waters of the river and its spirit that nurture the whole Chinese nation. For thousands of years, this river has been admired by great writers, artists, as well as by the common people. There comes out a number of great works that are related to the Yellow River, and some of them are very familiar to us. The Yellow River is not just several letters, nor is it just the name of a yellow -ochre -colored river. It has special importance:the symbol of the Chinese nation, the spirit of the Chinese people and more importantly, civilization itself.
