    On Friday, our teacher told us that there would an English corner in front of our teaching building. I set about soon after the last class in the afternoon. To my joy, the English corner had just been on for a few minute. I joined them on their talk. At first, I was afraid that my English was so poor and limit that I couldn't make myself understand. I was also afraid that anyone might laugh at me. But a smiling face here or an encouraging nod there soon put me at ease. Though I speak to them only in simple English that day, I believe in future I will make a greater progress.

    Many people may not find the idea of visiting Beijing's Forbidden City just to see its cultural relics(遗迹)very exciting. But what if you got to see deer there too? That certainly sounds like a better day out.

    Nine deer were introduced into the Forbidden City, also known as the Palace Museum, on Sept. 26 and would make it their home until February. The beautiful animals are part of an exhibition on deer-related relics, including furniture, clothes and artworks. In ancient China, deer patterns(图案)could be seen on lots of items since lu—deer—were considered to be a lucky animal because the Chinese word shares the pronunciation(发音)of the character that means “official salary(俸禄)”.

    The deer in the Palace Museum are not only to be part of the exhibition, but also to act as ambassadors(大使)to attract visitors. “It's a better way to bring cultural relics closer to the people,”explained Wang Yamin, a deputy director at the Museum, according to ChinaDaily.

    Turning itself into a zoo is the latest effort that the museum has made at introducing academic(学术的)art to ordinary people.

    In 2014, for example, the museum's online store started to offer products such as T-shirts featuring the pattern of an emperor's coat, and earphones looking like the necklaces worn by ancient officials. These products soon gained popularity on social media because they allowed people to wear a piece of history.

    Two years later, the TV series MastersintheForbiddenCity(《我在故宫修文物》)lifted the mysterious veil(面纱)on the experts who work in the museum—people whose job is to repair the relics within it. And while many of us may have imagined these workers to be old and boring, they're actually quite young and interesting. Some are even in their 20s. They lead a peaceful career, although it can sometimes be dull. Workers aren't allowed to wear any make-up or do their nails(指甲)because the chemicals(化学物质)may damage the relics they're working on, for example.

    Little by little, the Palace Museum is shaking off the stereotypes(刻板印象)of being an old-fashioned academic institution. As Shan Jixiang, the museum's director, once said, “Academic research is not alien from the public's interest. We'd like to make visiting the museum a part of people's daily lives. ”

    It looks like the Forbidden City isn't so forbidden after all.

Study abroad

    Every year, thousands of students choose to study abroad for the summer, six months, a year or longer. Here are some things you need to know before you make such a decision.

Why do it?

    Living in another country will help you learn about the culture of another land. You will see the world in a new way.  Many companies today want employees who speak a second language or who have experienced living or working in another country.  

Making the right choice.

    To choose the right country or school,  ask yourself these questions:   Do I want to live with a host family (寄宿家庭),  with roommates,  or alone?  How much do I want to pay?  

    Get your passport and visa (签证) early!  Before you go, learn as much of the language as you can, and read about the customs of your host country. Also, talk with people who have experienced studying abroad. Call the school to make sure someone can meet you when you get there.

    Once you are there.

    After the first few weeks it's usual to feel a little homesick. Just be open to meeting new people and having new experiences. Remember that it takes time to get used to a new place with new customs. Talk to your new friends and write about your feelings.

注意：词数100左右；可以适当增加细节，以使行文连贯；开头和结尾已为你写好。

Growing up in the 1960s, I was taught from an early age to send a handwritten thank­you note expressing 1for kindness. My mother used to buy me a box of paper and 2 me in the art and value of saying "thank you". She 3to be right.

A study showed that it took less than 5 minutes to write the thank­you notes. Just 5 minutes to make 4 person feel overjoyed! 5 ， in our "instant" world, the idea of getting an actual pen and writing an actual note seems to never come to mind. We tend to do what is 6 for us — a quick text or an email.

It's easy to use the7of being busy, but even very busy and 8businessmen find time to 9thank­you notes. For example, when Douglas Conant became CEO of Campbell's, the company had 10 half of its market value and morale (士气) was at an all­time low. He 11 fixing that by doing some simple things that are probably not 12 in any MBA class. For one thing, Conant wrote to every 13. He gained their confidence and14 ， turned the company 15.

In his ten years as CEO, Conant wrote over 30,000 notes to employees. It's 16 not to ask how he did it.17, he had many other things to do 18 writing a thank­you note. Conant made time for 19 because he knew the impact (影响) each one would have. An expression of 20 in this crazy world still makes a difference.
