MOVIE GUIDE FRIDAY

It was a cold and snowy morning after the winter vacation. Actually, it was my first day at my new school. I was walking slowly and worrying about lots of things. It was 7:00 in the morning and there weren't many people on the road. A girl on a bike passed me quickly. She was riding on ice when suddenly she fell off her bike a few steps in front of me. She was trying hard to get up but fell once more. Without thinking, I went over and helped her stand up. She said, "Thank you," with a smile and then rode away. The words "Thank you" warmed me and this small event made me feel less nervous about my new school.

Finally, I got to school. The teacher led me to the classroom and asked me to sit down beside a girl. I was so nervous. I knew some of the students were looking at me but I didn't dare to look at them. Soon the first class started. It was English. They used a different textbook from my old school and I didn't have a copy. As I was wondering what to do, a book appeared in front of me. "Let's share," the girl next to me said." And hi, I'm Carrie." I looked up. It was the girl I helped that morning. What a surprise!

From then on, we became good friends. She was my first and best friend at my new school. Helping her also helped me find a friend.

Yangzhou paper cutting, with a history of 2,000 years, can be dated back to the Sui Dynasty, making Yangzhou one of the places where paper cutting first became popular.

In the Sui Dynasty, the people of Yangzhou would cut colourful paper or silk and satin (缎子) to celebrate festivals. It is said that Emperor Yang came to Yangzhou three times. In winter, the flowers and trees in the garden became dry and weak. The emperor ordered the gril servants to cut fine silk and satin into flowers and leaves and use them to decorate the trees and lakes. Since then, "colorful cutting" has become a popular art in Yangzhou.

In the Tang Dynasty, the paper cutting industry was highly developed and a large amount of high-quality paper was made as presents to the Court (宫廷).

In the Qing Dynasty, because of the economic development, the people of Yangzhou became interested in wearing fine clothing, especially embroidered (刺绣的) clothing. The embroidered designs were based on paper-cuts, the most well-know of them was from Bao Jun, a paper cutting master. He won a high reputation (名声) as Magic Scissors for his wonderful cutting skills.

After the People's Republic of China was started, the Chinese government accepted the importance of paper cutting like many other arts and skills. In 2007, China Paper-cuts Museum opened to the public in the back garden of the Wang's Residence (住所), Yangzhou, greatly helping the development of Yangzhou paper cutting.

School uniforms (校服) are traditional in Britain. Pupils at about 90 percent of British secondary schools wear uniforms. When every pupil in the school wears the uniform, nobody has to worry about fashion and they feel that they belong to a group. Some people believe that a school uniform can help students pay attention to schoolwork. But some schools in Britain and other countries are starting to drop the traditional uniforms.

An Australian school has decided to drop its traditional school uniform, hoping new sportswear will encourage students to take part in more activities. School headmaster Elisabeth Lenders said the uniform change had been in the works for several years. "We decided that in 2018-2019, " she said. "The importance is clear: to make young people live happy, healthy lives."

Ms Lenders said World Health Organization research reported 90 percent of young Australians and New Zealanders were not getting the minimum（最小的）daily levels of activity they needed in order to lead a healthy life. As well as the new uniform, she said the school would change timetables to make sure there would be chances for students to take part in physical activity every day.

Ms Lenders said in the past, a uniform was about all looking the same but in the 21^st century it was important for students to be able to choose clothes that they liked.

And this Australian school had made an online survey about the uniform change and had received great support from parents and students. Tara, mother of Ava in Year 7, said it was a great move from the school. "These are the challenges of our time, and we want young people to think about them," she said. "It is bigger than just throwing out the old uniform. It's about what the role of education is about. And for me it's helping young people to live a happy, healthy and productive life. "

The world has been troubled by COVID-19 for over a year. Masks (口罩) are really important to everybody during the pandemic (疫情). We all wear masks every day. . This could become a big environmental problem.

In a study, scientists from the US and Denmark said that people around the world are now using 129 billion face masks every month.. What a large number it is!

According to Elvis Genbo Xu from the University of Southern Denmark, disposable (一次性的) masks are plastic products. . People think that they are a new kind of pollution.

. But we can't recycle masks. Scientists have called for setting up mask-only trash cans (垃圾箱) to deal with mask waste. . We believe that we can solve this problem in the near future though there is still a lot of work to do.

A. They also suggest that we use more reusable cotton masks.

B. Other plastic products are often recycled.

C. But we have to throw them away after a short time.

D. That is to say, we use 2.8 million masks every minute!

E. These used plastic masks can not only pollute the earth but also oceans.

"Twinkle twinkle little star, how I wonder what you are…" Jimmy was singing happily with his friends. He laughed and then started to tell stories to them.

1, this would never happen in real life. My eight-year-old brother, Jimmy, is an autistic (自闭症的) child. He doesn't know how to chat with others and can't even 2 by himself. He also has difficulty following his teachers in class. These things make him feel 3 at school.

Mom took Jimmy to the hospital to get more treatment. But it 4 very well. Jimmy still doesn't know how to behave at school. He can't listen to the teacher and doesn't understand what to do. He always forgets to bring his things home and even loses his books. My mom is always worried, but when she talks about Jimmy, she still 5― it seems that she is still 6 her son.

7 Jimmy's sister, I am also worried about him. I heard that some students encourage him to misbehave and then laugh at him. The boys even stole 8 pencils and hid them in Jimmy's bag. Then they told the teacher that Jimmy stole them.

Every time I hear about these things, I am very 9, but my mom asks me not to. She says that Jimmy doesn't 10 it at all. He is always smiling, even though life is hard for him. I love him and I hope things will get better soon and he will grow up happily.

I work in a middle school. It is pleasant for me to plant in my free time. At the beginning of the school year, I had an idea—what if my students used a classroom 1 to grow vegetables for our school lunches? The students could 2 learn about planting science.

I asked my headmaster 3 I could start a new plant lab garden (植物实验花园). I was only in my second year of 4, but she agreed.

As soon as my students went into the classroom, they got 5. They all wanted to learn how to grow vegetables in this way of indoor gardening called hydroponics (水培). This is great for areas that don't have 6 farmland. It helps people to grow healthy vegetables just about anywhere.

To grow 45 beds of green vegetables, we need many things 7 growing cups, LED growing lights, fans, a water pump (水泵) and so on. Although the students failed for the first time, none of them 8. They kept on trying until they finally succeeded. It was interesting for them to watch the vegetables grow every day. And they all smiled 9 when seeing students in other classes eat the vegetables they grew. My students' new goal is that our school won't need to 10 green vegetables any more.

If you go to another country, what kinds of things would you buy? Would you buy a camera in Japan, some (beauty) clothes in France, or a watch in Switzerland? No matter you may buy, you might think those products were made in those (country). However, you could be wrong. Kang Jian is a l7-year-old student from Shanghai. Last year he (go) to visit his aunt and uncle in San Francisco. He found it interesting that so many products in the local shops were made in China. "I wanted to buy a toy car for my cousin, but even though most of the toys are American brands, they were made in China."

Toys are not the only things made in China. "Once I wanted to buy a pair of basketball (shoe)." he explains.  "But I had to visit five or six stores before (find) a pair made in America!" He realized that Americans can (hard) avoid buying products made in China. "In fact," he continues, "there were many other things there made in China—footballs, handbags, pet food, mobile phones. American flags are made in China!" Kang Jian thinks it's great that China is so good at making (this) everyday things. However, he hopes that the future China will also get better at making high—technology products that people can buy in all parts of the world.

It is well known that exercise is importantly. In our school, we have to do an hour's exercise every day. Many students are very happy. In the one hour, some of us play basketball, football and ping pong, and some ran around the playground. Anyone is talking and laughing. I love this activity very much. I also hope that there will be more and more sunlight sport in our life after school. That not only makes us happy, but also makes our body health.
