Have you ever thought about how you answer a compliment(恭维)?I didn’t see the cultural differences of a compliment until I moved to Beijing from the US about four months ago．

From my personal experience，it’s usually polite to say thank you，smile，change the subject or give that person a compliment too．I found this is not usually the way people accept a compliment in China．

I’ve seen that Chinese are very modest(谦虚的)when receiving a compliment．In China，

people might say a quick thank you and disagree with the compliment．One example of this is speaking the Chinese 0r English language．I’m trying to learn Chinese：and I’m honestly not good．However，sometimes when I say a simple word like“thank you” in Chinese, people tell me my Chinese is so good! This seems very silly to me because xiexie is usually the second phrase people learn．

From the other point of view，a Chinese person may even start a conversation by saying their English is very poor．After having a full conversation，I tell them with honesty their English is quite good．They will not accept the compliment，yet their English is much better than my Chinese!

In a word，I think it’s important to have a balance when accepting a compliment．It’s good to be modest，but it’s also okay to welcome it at the same time．

1.What did the writer see when he moved to Beijing?(不超过10个单词)

2.How do Chinese people start a conversation sometimes?(不超过10个单词)

3.When did the writer move to Beijing?(不超过5个单词)

Have you ever thought about what kind of job you would like to have when you grow up? Many people think that we can have only one job in our lifetime. We all know that this is not true, but quite a few people actually think this way.

However, there are many examples where people became successful after changing their careers （职业）later in life.

Former US President Ronald Reagan began as an actor when he was a young man. He later decided that he wanted to do political work. This kind of passion（激情）finally led him （p become President of the United States.

Do you often run outdoors to keep healthy? Have you ever thought about how running helps to clean up the earth? Sometimes a creative mind can bring us a win-win(双赢) situation.

Plogging began in Sweden(瑞典). The name“plogging" comes from two words -the Swedish(瑞典的) word "plocka", which means“to pick up”, and the word "jogging", which means“to run slowly". A Swedish man called Erik started the movement.

He saw rubbish here and there when riding to work each day. He became worried about the dirty environment and decided not to go to work by bike any more.

Then he began to run to work and pick up the rubbish.①To his joy, more and more people followed him and soon the new way to exercise became popular.

Many people choose plogging instead of just jogging because they think plogging is a good way to help clean up the earth. Sometimes rubbish is difficult to collect because it may scatter(散落) all around. But if the runners pick up the rubbish on the way, it is quite different. After all, many hands make light work.

Another reason is that plogging burns more calories(卡路里). According to a research,plogging for 10 minutes burns 48 calories, while usual jogging for 10 minutes burns about 39 calories.

Everyone on the earth should play a part in cleaning it up!②是我们一起采取行动的时候了。So ready? Let's plog tomorrow!

1.What does "plogging”mean?

___________________________________________________________________

2.After Erik saw much rubbish, did he continue riding a bike to work?

________________________________________________________

3.Why do people choose plogging?

_________________________________________________________

4.将划线句子①翻译为汉语。

It’s always a happy moment when you get some pocket money. But have you ever thought about how to spend your pocket money wisely? Here is some advice.

Make a list.

When you get your pocket money, don’t get too excited. We all have a lot of things that we want. But do you really need them? That’s why it is necessary to make a list before you spend money. Start with the thing you want most. You can also write down how much it costs or how important it is in your life. By doing this, you will see if it is really necessary to buy it.

Help others.

How about being more selfless and using your pocket money to help others? We all know that there are many people in the world who are in need of our help. Helping others brings out the best in us and is one of the greatest joys in our lives. So consider using your pocket money to do something useful and helpful, and feel how you can make a difference.

Save as much as you can.

There is an old saying that “Money doesn’t grow on trees.” If you spend all your pocket money right away, you’ll have no money until your next “pay day”. A wallet sometimes might not be the best place to save money because it may make it easier for you to spend your money. Get a piggy bank（存钱罐）or ask your parents to start a savings account (账户) for you. Someday when you look back, you’ll get a strong feeling of achievement by saving so much money by yourself!

1.Why should we make a list before spending money?

A. Because it can help us know if we have enough money for the things.

B. Because it can make sure we buy everything we need.
