Dreams really exist. But in the morning when you wake up, they are remembered just as a dream. That is what happened to me.

I always had the dream to dance. When I was young, I would dance around and around in the fields of wildflowers that grew in my backyard. Reality woke me up when I heard a voice saying, “I don’t know why you try to dance, Anna. You don’t have the talent to be a ballerina (芭蕾舞演员).” Hearing that, I fell to the ground and cried for hours.

We lived in the countryside by a lake. My mother didn’t like anything because she thought nothing was ever perfect in her life. She dreamed of a different life but she ended up living in the countryside, far away from the city where she believed her dreams would come true.

I enjoyed hanging out by the water. I used to sit there for hours and stare at my reflection. Once the waves came, my reflection would be washed away, just like my dream to dance.

As I grew older, I began to realize my dream was even born because of something that was inside me. The dream I had was never cared for, so it slowly died. When I finally woke up from many years of dreaming, I realized that I couldn’t only dance in the wildflowers. I had to move on to the stage (舞台).

Babies will naturally share food with hungry strangers, even when they’re hungry themselves, according to a new study published in Scientific Reports.

In the study, the researchers first did an experiment on 19-month-olds. The time was about 75 minutes after their last snack or meal. In the experiment, an unfamiliar adult reached for pieces of fresh fruit that had been placed on a dish in front of a child, and the child could choose to either share the fruit with the adult or keep the fruit and eat it himself/herself. Almost 60% of the children shared at least one piece of fruit with the adult.

In a follow-up experiment, the researchers had the children’s parents bring them in just before their next scheduled snack or meal, so on average, it had been more than 130 minutes since they last ate. The researchers wanted to know whether these children, who were hungry themselves, would still share food with someone in need.

The results showed that almost 40% of the children were willing to share at least one piece of fruit with the adult who reached for the food. Some other experiment results also showed that children as young as one year old liked to help others in need, even when they themselves wanted to get something.

In July, 2021, China introduced the “double reduction” policy (双减政策). It hopes to reduce schoolwork burden on primary and junior school students. The policy calls for reducing homework and after-school classes. So making a careful and available homework plan for yourselves is important.

Be sure to remember your homework.

52． Be sure to ask some questions about your homework if you want to understand what homework to do at home.

Try to finish your homework at school.

You can spend some time working on your homework in your classroom. If you finish much homework in school, you don’t need to do a lot at home. Many schools have studying rooms for students to do their homework.
53． It’s fun for them to play with their classmates after class.

54．

If you don’t finish your homework at school, think about how much homework you have and what else you need to do on that day, and then pace (调整) yourself. Most school students have between 1 and 1.5 hours of homework a night. If you don’t have too much homework at home, you can enjoy yourself more, or you’ll have to say sorry to your game shows or films on TV.

Grain Rain (谷雨) is the sixth of the Twenty-four Solar Terms in the traditional Chinese calendar, which falls on April 20 this year. As the last solar term in spring, this period sees the temperature rise and rainfall increase, creating a good environment for plants and animals. Grain Rain is still linked with modern agriculture. It links grain with rain, reflecting an increasing amount of rainfall, which is good for the growth of crops. For farmers, it is a good time to sow.

It might not be so well-known that in Chinese tale an actual “grain rain” was recorded in the story of Cang Jie, who invented the first Chinese characters (汉字). Cang Jie created a set of characters from observing the tracks of birds and mammals. After his great invention, grains started to pour down from the sky.

The Grain Rain Day has become a day to honor Cang Jie and the invention of the Chinese language, and April 20 has been designated as the annual UN Chinese Language Day since 2010. Chinese characters are a treasure of the spiritual homeland of Chinese people, the thousands of years of Chinese culture, and an important symbol of cultural identity.
