Thang-ga（唐卡）is a special kind of painting. It was found only in Tibet, China. It started from the Tang dynasty（唐朝）. Thang-ga paintings show Tibetan people’s lives. In recent years, Thang-ga paintings have caught the public’s attention. At the same time, the Chinese government has also tried hard to protect the art.
The color of Thang-ga paintings look wonderful and special. Because of the special environment of Tibet and the excellent skills of artists, the paints（颜料）used in Thang-ga are different from other paints. They were made from minerals like gold and silver, as well as some plants. The paints were made by hand and the beautiful colors could last for hundreds of years.
However, with the development of technology, people now use cheaper and more easily-made chemicals to make Thang-g paints. The traditional paints used in Thang-ga paintings took a lot of work and they were made in many secret ways. Later people stopped making the paints and forgo about them. So the skills needed to make them were almost lost. The traditional Thang-ga paintings are difficult to find now.
1.Thang-ga is an unusual kind of art.
2.Thang-ga was found only in Tibet in the Tang dynasty.
3.The special environment of Tibet and the excellent skills of artists make Thang-ga paints different from other paints.
4.The color of Thang-ga paintings can’t last for hundreds of years without modern technology.
5.The skills of artists have been already lost, so it is difficult to find the traditional Thang-ga paintings.

Bike-sharing has swept across China, with an increasing number of people choosing bike riding instead of driving. The bike that the service company provides has GPS or Bluetooth on it, and those bikes can be easily unlocked with a smart phone and left anywhere in public. Bike-sharing allows people to borrow a bike from one place and return it at another place easily.
In some cities, we can see more and more people riding this kind of sharing-bikes. It’s very convenient to use the bikes if you have a smart phone.

At the same time, some people park the bikes in their own homes. Besides, some people don’t value the bikes. Now service companies are trying to solve the problem like being stolen.

Once a very rich man and his son collected valuable paintings of famous artists like Picasso, Van Gogh and Monet.
Later, the son left to join the army. After a few weeks, the old man received a letter saying his son had died while taking another soldier to hospital. The old man became very lonely and sad.

A psychologist（心理学家） walked around a room while teaching stress management to the audience. As she raised a glass of water, everyone expected they’d be asked the “half empty or half full” question. Instead, with a smile on her face, she asked: “______?”
Answers came out from 8 oz（盎司） to 20 oz.
She replied, “The real weight doesn’t matter. It depends on how long I hold it. If I hold it for a minute, it’s not a problem. If I hold it for an hour, I’ll have an ache in my arm. If I hold it for a day, my arm will feel numb. In each case, the weight of the glass doesn’t change, but the longer I hold it, the heavier it becomes.”
She continued, “The stresses and worries in life are like that glass of water. Think about them for a while and nothing happens. Think about them a bit longer and they begin to hurt. And if you think about them all day long, you will feel numb-unable to do anything.”
It’s important to remember to let go of your stresses. As early in the evening as you can, put all your burdens down. Don’t carry them through the evening and into the night. Remember to put the glass down!
