Homestays are becoming more and more popular, and people around the world are offering their homes as hotels. Homestays offer cheap places to stay, and the chance for guests to see the area like a local. They are very popular with people who want to stay in another country to stud oron holiday. We asked three families who run homestays to tell us about where they live.
The Atal family
Our family home is in a small village in the north of Pakistan, in the Himalayan mountains The village is quite small and very quiet. The mountains are extremely beautiful. You can go for long walks and swim in the rivers but there are no shops, cinemas or cafes.
Kate and Julian Foxton
Our two-bed house is by the sea in the south-west of England. It is about five minutes' drive to the nearest village of Portreath. There are lots of beaches, rivers and forests and it is very quiet We spend a lot of time reading books, watching films and going for walks. Our area is great for sports like surfing, kayaking and mountain biking. However, the houses here are expensive, which can be a problem for local people. There are no buses or trains here, so it can be difficult to get around without a car。
Chafic and Aline Halwany
Our home is near the centre of Beirut, Lebanon, one of the largest cities in the Middle East There are lots of cafes and restaurants, which open late at night. We love it here because it's so friendly and you can always find what you need—lots of people come to stay to learn Arabic and French. However, it can be noisy at night, and there is quite a lot of traffic during the day.

Noisy neighbors are a problem in a society where many people live closely together. And this can be the most important when you share walls, floors or ceilings with neighbors in a flat—noisy neighbor can make life challenging, especially if noise goes well into night, or happens during early morning hours. This situation needs to be dealt with properly, which needs your ability to keep calm.
First, you should try to tell your neighbors about the noise. This conversation should be polite and friendly. It can begin with words like "I am not sure you know that." Explain the problem in an honest way, and ask the neighbors to turn down the music, or not to hold parties until 3 a.m. You can also say that you realize they hear your noise too, and you're willing to try to stop anything in your behavior that is creating much noise.
You should know that not all neighbors are going to follow your requirements, and some may act in a bad manner. If the noisy neighbors don't change their behaviors, the next step should be to write the neighbors a letter. The letter should show your grievances (不满) and the dates when the noise was quite terrible. For example, if your neighbor has loud gatherings every Friday night that last into the early morning, then write down those dates.
When the noise remains going on, you should report it to local authorities (权力部门), or even call the police, when it is really necessary. Often, however, you can solve the problem when the noisy neighbor knows you are going to call the police.
Be aware that you can't always make noisy neighbors be quiet. When the noise remains going on, it is wise not to deal with it in an angry way. If you have completed the steps and letter don't start hitting walls or floors around in your home or turning up the music to make your neighbors angry. Just have patience and remember that communication is the most important.

Wang Jiaming from Beijing Chenjinglun High School says he is a lucky boy. He's happy that he's sitting the senior high school entrance exam (中考) in 2019 instead of 2020.
On Oct 22, Beijing Municipal Commission of Education (北京市教委) said that, from 2020, the English scores in the senior high school entrance exam will be reduced from 120 to 100. Of the 100 points, the listening ability scores will increase (增加) to 50. At the same time, the points for Chinese will increase from 120 to 150.
"The changes won't make a difference to me. I feel so lucky because English is my best subject," said Wang.
"The changes place the importance on Chinese in our study, and reduce students' pressure(压力)," said Li Yi, spokesman of the commission. "The changes will also push us to learn more about the practical usage of English," he said.
But being tested for fewer points doesn't mean the subject can be taken lightly. English has long been the world's most commonly used language. Former Chinese premier Zhu Rongji once said: "If you cannot communicate with foreigners, how can one be part of the world economy (经济) "
Wang Jiaming said he understood the change. "Chinese, not English, is our mothertongue (母语)," he said, "but still, I think English is both interesting and useful."

When you are in a place where you are looking for a new job or career and that there are several things that you should pay attention to. Jobs and careers are fewer than you expect, especially when satisfying （令人满意的） employment is something you need to seriously think about. How are you going to find the job that you want and what should you avoid on your way When you want to make use of your job search, take a moment and think about the things that you must avoid at all.
One of the most important rules is never to compromise （妥协） on the things you ask for or it will have a bad effect （ 影 响 ） on your life and peace of mind. Keep in mind your basic expectations of a dream job. They might be something about money or you might find they have something to do with time off. Whatever they are, make sure that you do not accept a job without them. Your requirements （需求） might not be easy to meet, but you have the right to try and achieve them.
What's more, don't go away from odd （临时的） jobs that might actually take you to the place that you want to be in. Sometimes, finding the right job is a matter of luck and chance after you have been searching and putting in a lot of effort (努力). And if something unexpected happens, remember that taking the chance is of great importance and is something you might want to seriously consider (考虑). As long as you keep your goals in mind, you are going to be doing much better than other people during the job search.
If you are looking for the right job, another thing that you can do to make sure that you get the right kind of employment is to market yourself. If required, give enough encouragement to yourself and try to confidently look at all that you have. Make sure that you can show your skills and abilities. If the jobs that you have set your sights on are challenging （有挑战性的）, set goals for yourself and work hard at them. The more efforts you put in marketing yourself the more your chances of getting the job you like will be.
Remember that when you are working on a job search, you should not short-change yourself this is because you will only harm yourself by setting low goals.

As we all know, eating too much sweet food does no good to our health. But have you thought that your sweet tooth might have something to do with less sleep.
A new study finds that getting seven to nine hours of sleep per night may help control food.
Researchers at King's College London trained some "short sleepers" —people who slept less than seven hours per night. In order to extend their sleep time, the researchers asked them not to drink coffee any more. They must spend less time using smart phones and go to bed on time every night.
Because of the training, the "short sleepers" began to sleep one more hour per night. And here's the interesting thing: they also changed their diets.
"We have found that those who extended their sleep also reduced(减少)their intake of sugar by about 10 grams every day," said one of the researchers.
Their study is published in the American Journal of Nutrition. It provides more evidence(证据)that our sleep can influence(影响)our eating habits.

What do you do when you come across a problem while doing your homework Andy would take out his smart phone, open a special app and searched the problem. Answers soon appeared on the screen.
Nowadays, many students do homework with the help of the Internet. They search for information online, use apps or discuss through social networks like QQ and WeChat.
"It's convenient," Andy said, "You also learn by seeing how others work them out."
"It also improves students' abilities," said John, another student. He said it's true for new types of homework.
John's Chinese teacher often asks students to give speeches on great authors. When it comes to John's turn, he usually searches online, picks out certain stories and makes PowerPoint presentations.
"I've become skilled at finding information online and using Microsoft Office," Wang said. However, many students think this trend (趋势) also brings up problems. Some students just copy the answers online without thinking. They become lazy.
A head teacher in Andy and John's school said that knowing how to use the Internet is important. The key is to have good self-control.
"No matter how difficult the problem is, think about it independently (独立地) first," the teacher said. "Be sure to understand the reasons behind the answers, or you won't make progress. If you aren't confident about your self-control, ask your parents for help."

"The direct reason for the drought (干旱) is light rain and high temperature," Ren Fuming, a leading expert (专家)at China's National Climate Center. The rainfall in worst-hit Yunnan since September last year is the lowest in about 50 years while the temperature since the beginning of winter is the highest.
All over the world, natural disasters have climbed from less than 50 a year in the 1950s to between 350 and 450 a year in the 2000s. In 2009, weather events affected 55 million people around the world. China's drought is mainly affecting key food-producing areas, which grow more than eighty percent of the country's wheat.
With no rain in sight until mid-month and possibly beyond, Chinese officials say they are preparing for a serious, long-lasting drought. The UN has warned that the drought could drive up food prices. And the situation could become terrible if a spring drought follows the winter drought. Food prices have already risen about 35 percent since mid-November.
Chinese officials say the country's food production (产量) still has room to go back, although (尽管) people suffer (遭受) from the losses.

Conclusion China is 　 　for the long-lasting drought. China will be ready to fight against the drought, because food production still has　 　to go back.

Nowadays in school life, a lot of students develop a fear of tests. It's not because tests are something to be afraid of. Most students are afraid of tests mainly because they don't have enough self-confidence and they don't always think they are well prepared. If you follow the tips below, it's not difficult to overcome (克服) your fear of tests.
People who know that they are not well-prepared are usually those who fear tests most. However, most students don't know when they are truly prepared for a test. As long as(只要) you know that you have studied well and long enough, you have a reason to believe that you are well-prepared.
Be confident about yourself. Confidence before a test can bring about two things: either you fail the test and feel as if your confidence was unfounded(毫无根据的) or you could actually do well in the test because of your confidence. Some students find that they experience the first result. However, this is only because those students might not have followed the first tip mentioned above. As long as you have studied well, you will be more confident of your chance to succeed in a test. If you feel as if you have not studied hard enough, then you will not be as confident as you should be.
Ask your teacher about the main points that may be covered in the test while getting ready for the test. In this way, you will know what you should prepare for and you can get confidence in the test. But you have to be brave enough to ask. Most students do not ask if their teacher doesn't give the information first, so make sure that you ask.
You should know that tests just check your knowledge and don't lose heart because of one test failure. As long as you think that there is another tomorrow, you can overcome your fear of a test. However, make sure that you are going to prepare well for the other tests.
Fear can be a problem in the process of achieving success. However, with the right attitude(态度) and preparations, you can overcome your fear of tests by using these tips.
Title: 　 　 to overcome your fear of tests
　 　 Prepare well You should make good preparations.
If you have studied well and long enough, you would 　 　 that you are well-prepared.

Confidence comes from　 　 hard enough.

Hold a positive attitude Keep in mind that tests just 　 　 your knowledge.
Conclusion Right attitude and 　 　 are the key factors( 因素) in overcoming your fear of tests.

Title: Inner voice helps a lot throughout our lives
When you couldn't open your mouth in the first two years on the earth, inner voice helps you understand things. Inner voice always shows thoughts and ideas in the body.
It justifies(判断) what is right and what is wrong. When we go against inner voice, we usually feel uncomfortable throughout our lives.
Sometimes when we are feeling sad, we seem to need some kind of support in spirit. We usually speak to our closest friend or our dearest family member during times of unhappiness to feel better. After talking to them, we suddenly feel active again, because our inner voice reminds us to get on with things and leave the things of the past in the memory.
Inner voice is always right most of the time because it knows us better than others and probably even ourselves. It's good to go by inner voice most of the time. Whenever you are trying to smoke, or whenever you are asked to choose one side in an argument, you are always worried about the result. During these times, your inner voice tells you what to do. If you don't follow your inner voice, you might be unhappy in the future. It's our own choice to either pay no attention to our inner voice or follow it and search for real happiness.

Talking with people is necessary in our daily activities and it is also very important. However, we all have different styles of communicating. Some people seem to be liked by most of the people while others not! Why does this happen The answer lies in the simple magic words of communication—Thank you, Please and Sorry!
Let's see how and why we should use these words:
Thank you There is not one day of our life which we spend without receiving help from another person. From the time we start our day till we step into our bed for a good night's sleep, we have taken a number of favors(恩惠). However, how many times do we thank the other person truly Be free and generous in saying "Thank you"! It does not take away your credit(认可), but surely makes the other person happy and more willing to help you next time!
Please Often we take things for granted(想当然) and ask other people to do things for us. This does not help as others feel they are made to do these for you. A simple and sweet "Please" could completely change the manner towards you.
Sorry Everyone makes mistakes, but it is quite difficult to accept it and say sorry for it. This always causes trouble in our relationship. Saying "Sorry" does not disgrace(使丢脸) anyone. Instead, it puts them in a more polite position.
These simple words can work wonders for people. If you truly use these words in your day-to-day communication with people, you will surely find a change in the way people respond(反应) to you and your actions.

China is a country with many colorful days and festivals. The Dragon Head Raising Day (Longtaitou) is one of them.
This special day is on the second day of the second month in the Chinese lunar calendar(阴历). It stands for the start of spring and farming. This year, the day falls on March 2.
The dragon is important in Chinese culture. We Chinese people call ourselves the "descendants(传人) of the dragon". Therefore, people celebrate the Dragon Head Raising Day with many customs about dragons.
On the day in ancient(古代的) times, people put ashes(灰) in the kitchen. This was to "lead the dragon into the house". People believed that with the help of the dragon, they could have a good harvest(收成) in autumn.
Also, people eat special foods on that day. The foods are usually named after dragons. For example, people eat "dragon whisker(细须)" noodles and dumpling called "dragon teeth".
Today, many customs have faded away(消退). But one that has remained (保留)is the cutting of hair. It was said that a haircut during the first lunar month may bring bad luck to the uncles of a family-mainly mother's brothers. So many people have their hair cut on the Dragon Head Raising Day.

I always knew that I depended way too much on my phone, but I didn't know how much. So I decided to do this challenge(挑战) to find out.
Every morning since I got a smartphone, I've used The Weather Channel App to find out what to wear. On the first morning I had to dress without guidance, but thankfully I was able to guess that the day would be cold and foggy by looking out of my window.
I couldn't tell what time it was. I haven't worn a watch for more than a year, because my phone showed the time. So I was late for picking up friends who had been on the bus for two hours from Santa Monica to Palos Verdes. I was also late for my part-time job. And even worse, I couldn't call people to tell them that I was running late.
Getting to places was harder, too. I got lost because I couldn't use the GPS(导航系统) on my phone. My driving, though, got a lot safer because I no longer had my phone in one hand checking directions while driving with the other.
But the number one trouble was not having my contact list (联络簿). I forgot to write down my friends' and family members' phone numbers before I started the challenge. It was sad to realize that I couldn't remember my brother's and my mom's cellphone numbers. Oh, how I wished to turn on the phone for just a second to look up phone numbers!
Even with all the problems, however, I found peace not worrying about missing a text message or an email.
This challenge was a great learning experience. It surprised me how I'd taken no notice of even the simplest things like remembering phone numbers. We all should take some time to think about how we can depend less on our cellphon

Meat pies and hot dogs are all traditional dishes in Australian school shops. But healthier food has started to find its way onto school menus.
Many schools have used a traffic light system. The sale of red-labelled food, including chocolate and soft drinks, is served only once a week. Healthier green-labelled food such as sandwiches, corn and watermelons, however, are available every day.
In some schools, students have a choice of up to 89 kinds of food to choose from, including popcorn and rice.
South Africa
Most of South Africa's schools do not serve meals at all. Many students bring food from home, usually sandwiches.
Fast food and fried food sell the best among students. But as more people began to realize the fact that being too fat may cause different diseases, now students at these schools are provided with lunches of porridge with vegetables, such as cabbages, onions, beans, carrots and tomatoes.

Birds protect: themselves by always listening and watching out for danger. At the smallest sign of it, they will fly away. Birds that can't fly are often able to swim fast, or run quickly. Some birds make themselves look bigger and more dangerous by fluffing(抖动) their feathers.
Another important protection for many birds is their colours. Their feathers often have colours that match the things around their nests(巢). Some birds change colours with the seasons. In winter, they are white to match the snow. In summer, they are brown to match the ground.
Why do some birds die out
When people cut down forests to build houses and factories, they destroy the homes and food of birds. If the birds have nowhere else to go and nothing to eat, they will die out.
Pollution may cause some birds to die. Birds that eat fish from polluted water get poison in their bodies. Then they can't lay healthy eggs. New birds can't be born.

This week, our topic is pollution. What are the answers to all of our pollution problems We asked two experts(专家) to give their views.
◇Forest Smith is a member of Green First, an environmental group.
Our future on the Earth looks very bad. We are littering waste on our land. We can't breathe the fresh air. People have polluted the sea, too.
I visited some relatives recently in a small village. They grow their own food and cycle (循环)everywhere. They are not rich, but they are happy and healthy.
We must close the factories producing useless products. That will reduce rubbish and air pollution. We must recycle(回收利用) more, give up all cars, and make public transport better.
A big problem is that there are too many people in big cities. We must give up big cities and factories, and go back to a simple way of life.
◇John Green is a scientist at a university(大学).
Things are not as bad as Forest says. We'll have a bright future. We don't need to give up cars but we need better and cleaner engines.
This won't stop the problem of traffic jams. So we need better public transport. We should also recycle more.
But some things are getting better. My sister returned last month after living abroad for five years. She said, "Our old neighbourhood doesn't look the same as before--it is cleaner and greener now."
In a word, science has brought many good changes to our life.

When I want to know something about a book, I write an e-mail to the online shop for an answer. I am shy. It is difficult for me to talk to the shopkeeper in real shops.
Sometimes online shops have pictures of the book. They can show you some pages of the book, too. I think this is very helpful. I don't like to read books in shops because the shopkeeper may come and talk to me. I don't know what to say to them.
I can shop at midnight if I want to. Real shops close at nine o'clock in the evening. Some people worry about the postman may lose or damage the things they buy from online shops.
But I don't worry about that. I think it is hard to damage a book and my postman is very careful.
Some people say that shopping in real shops is good because you can go with your friends and look at many different things. They call this window-shopping. I don't have any friends and I don't like to talk too much-it makes me tired.
I am teaching my grandmother how to shop online. She can not walk very far so it will make shopping easy for her if she shops online. My brother wants to learn how to do it, too.

A 10-year-old boy decided to learn judo(柔道) though he had lost his left arm in a car accident. The boy was doing well, so he couldn't understand why, after three months of training, the master had taught him only one move.
"Master," the boy finally asked, "shouldn't I be learning more moves …This is not the only move you know, but this is the only move you'll ever need to know," the teacher answered.
Several months later, the teacher took the boy to his first competition. Surprising himself, the boy easily won his first two matches. The third match proved to be more difficult, but after some time, his opponent(对手) became impatient(急躁的) and charged(紧张的); the boy skillfully used his one move to win the match. Still amazed by his success, the boy was now in the final.
This time, his opponent was bigger, stronger, and more experienced. Soon after the match started, the boy seemed to lose. Thinking that the boy might get hurt, the judge called a time-out. He was going to stop the match when the teacher appeared. "No," the teacher said, "let him continue." A short time after the match carried on, his opponent made a careless mistake. At once, the boy used his move to pin(压住) him. The boy won the match and the competition.
On the way home, the boy asked the teacher what was really in his mind. "Why could I win the competition with only one move " The teacher answered, "First, you've mastered one of the most difficult throws in judo. Second, your opponent can only attack your left arm to win you."

When a disaster happens, you might find yourself without water, gas and electricity. You might even need to leave your home with little warning. But disasters don't have to surprise you. Plan before something bad happens.
Hold a family meeting. Discuss the types of disasters that could happen. Then plan a way to make your family be with each other if they get away. Choose two places for everyone to go to if it isn't safe to return home. The first should be near your house. You can go there in a very dangerous situation like a fire. The second meeting place should be outside your neighborhood. This will give your family a place to come together if you must evacuate(疏散撤离).
Next, choose a contact (联络) person outside your area. After a disaster, it is often easier to exchange information or talk with other people over a long-distance call than a local one. A contact person can pass messages between family members if they can't meet or get in touch with each other.
Then create a family disaster work-box. It should include everything your family needs to survive for at least three days. Place your tools in a bag, so you can carry it if you need to evacuate. When getting ready for it, remember that different people have different needs, including special items necessary for not only elderly but young members of your family.
