In 2015, on a TV show I Am a Singer 3, Li Jian became the most popular one, because he has great singing ability and sense of humor. Li has a smooth voice. His songs can really touch the listeners. People even give him the nickname "Poetic Musician" because of his poetic lyrics.
Li was born in Harbin in 1974. He showed great talent for music from an early age. He learned to play the guitar by himself. Later, he became a good guitarist and won the first prize in a national competition. “In my younger days, guitar was like my best friend." Li said.
Though he studied electronic engineering in Qinghua University, he never gave up music. Then in March 2001, Li formed a group called Shuimu Nianhua with his friend. Later, Li didn't agree to change their musical style. So the pair went their separate（分离）ways next year.

Here are four letters to their headmasters from students in different places
Li Xue, 14, f'rom Jiangsu
I will give some suggestions about our school uniform. In our school, we have to wear school uniform every day. But the yellow and green sports uniform looks really dark and old. It can't stand for young and lively spirit. We can add some red or orange color and make a new type of uniform.
Liu Hua. 14, from Fujian
I have two suggestions for my headmaster. First, I think we should have more hobby classes in science, such as plane model making class and computer programming（编程）class. And second, I hope' we can have more PE lessons or more time for physical exercise.

Billy always loved blueberries. They were his favorite fruit. Today he was going to make juice with his uncle. His uncle liked to make juice out of everything. He made carrot juice, apple juice, vegetable juice, and more juices. He had never made blueberry juice before though!
First, Billy and his uncle went to a blueberry farm. They were each given a basket. They picked for an hour and got several pounds. It was hard work picking the little berries from the trees. Now Billy understood why they were expensive in the store.
Next, they had to wash the fruit. Some of them still had leaves. Those had to be pulled off. Then the bad berries had to be thrown away. They washed the berries and made them air-dry.
After that, they pushed the blueberries through a strainer(过滤网). The strainer caught most of the seeds and skins, and only left a small glass of dark purple juice to them.
When they tasted the juice, it wasn't very sweet. Billy's uncle didn't want to add white sugar to the juice. It was better to use a naturally sweet juice, like apple juice, pear juice, or grape juice. They used grape juice as a sweetener (甜味剂), because grapes had a similar color to the blueberries.

(83)In fact, there is another trade road which is called the “Silk Road on the Sea” in the southwest of China.
The Silk Road was very important to both China and the rest of the world. Besides trade, knowledge about science, arts and technologies were shared across the Silk Road. The Four Great Inventions of China was introduced to the West and Chinese also knew about the religions of the West. (84)In this way, languages and cultures developed and influenced each other. Today, places along the Silk Road are great places of interest, such as the Terracotta Warriors in Xi'an and Mogao Grottoes in Dunhuang, Gansu.
