A Welcoming LibraryRegular Fall and Spring Ho...

As summer ends and fall begins, you can still enjoy spring flowers inside! It's an easy way to make your home look pretty．Some flowers grow from seeds．Other flowers grow from bulbs (球茎)．Some bulb flowers are easier than others to grow inside．A good one to try first is called a paperwhite．As many as twelve sweet-smelling flowers can grow from one paperwhite bulb．

But how can you grow one inside? Please follow those steps below:

1.Find a large glass jar (罐) that is clear enough to see through．Fill the jar almost to the top with stones or shells．This will give the bulb's roots something to hold on to as they grow．It will also give you a place to set the bulb．

2.Place the bulb on top of the stones．The bottom of the bulb is the part that is pointed, like the bottom of a heart shape．Push the bulb into the stones just far enough to make it stay．

3.Fill the jar with water．Use just enough water to cover just the bottom part of the bulb．

4.Put the jar in a place where the bulb will get plenty of light．Check every day to make sure there is still the right amount of water in the jar．Add water when it is needed．Soon the roots will start to grow．In a few weeks, you can enjoy watching the flowers bloom (开花)．

Many people catch a cold in the spring time and / or fall.  It makes us wonder .if scientists can send a man to the moon, why they can't find a cure for the common cold. The answer is easy. There are exactly hundreds of kinds of cold viruses there. You never know which one you will get, so there isn't a cure for each one.

When a virus attacks your body, the body works hard to get rid of it. Blood rushes to your nose and brings congestion(充血)with it .You feel terrible because you can't breathe well, but your body is actually "eating" the virus. Your temperature rises and you get a fever, but the heat of your body is killing the virus. You also have a running nose to stop the virus from getting to your cells.  You may feel miserable, but actually your wonderful body is doing everything it can to kill the cold.

Different people have different remedies（治疗法）for colds. In the United States and sane other countries, for example, people might eat chicken soup to feel better. Some people take hot baths and drink warm liquids.  Other people take medicine to stop the fever, congestion, and running nose.

There is one interesting thing to note - some scientists say taking medicines when you have a cold is actually bad for you. The virus stays in you longer because your body doesn't have a way to fight it and kill it .Bodies can do an amazing job on their own.  There is a joke, however, on taking medicine when you have a cold. It goes like this:

If it takes about one week to get over a cold if you don't take medicine,  but seven days to get over a cold you take medicine.

This famous poem, with four couplets, was written by Du Fu(712-770, Tang Dynasty)when he was living and farming in Chengdu. His farming experience taught him to be thankful to nature.

The very first word, "good", shows the poet's joy and love for the spring rain. The rain is good because it "knows" the proper time to come. Here the poet uses personification, as if the rains were smart enough to come in time for the farmer's busy season.

When the rain comes, it appears during the night without making any noise. Unlike the summer storms, the spring rain finishes its task without being known.

In the third couplet, the poet describes a peaceful scene to us. In the night sky, the clouds look dark and heavy. It's a sign that there will be enough rain during the night. The light from the riverboat makes the dark scene a bit livelier.

Lastly, the poet starts to imagine. Tomorrow morning, he thinks, the city of Chengdu will be-come beautiful when all of the flowers bloom(盛开)after the rain.

A Welcoming Way to Show China to the World

Modern life is not easy and full of stress. It will be nicer to get away from all the noise and congestion（拥挤）and live a simpler life in the countryside. This is what popular vlogger（网络视频录制者）Li Ziqi did.

Li was raised on a farm by her grandparents, but at the age of 14 she left the farm to work in the city. However, she found that city life was d1. and decided to move back to the countryside. “When I worked in the city, it was only about survival,” she said, “In the countryside, I am t2.living.”

When Li was back, she began making videos about her daily life and posting them to the Internet. She now has more than 20 million followers on Sina Weibo and over 7.5 million subscribers on YouTube. Her fans admire the way she makes e3. by herself: growing food and preparing traditional Chinese dishes, cutting down bamboo and making furniture, dyeing（染色）cloth and making her own clothes. The videos are beautifully made, but Li says she hopes her videos can provide people with e4. as well as fun. “I want people in the city to know where their food comes from. Some children b5. rice grows on trees!”

The idyllic（田园诗般的）countryside life Li shows has the magical power of making people feel comfortable and relaxed. When we talk about Chinese culture, the first things that come to many people might be bullet trains, 5G technology and fast-developing cities. However, it is actually the more traditional side of China that is much more a6. to people from other cultures. Through her videos, Li lets the world know that Chinese people are good at making works of a7. out of even the simplest materials — this is definitely a way to show China to the world.
