Like any family, the Silvas have a television, and everyone likes to watch TV. Mr. and Mrs. Silva love reality shows — they love those about cooking the best. The children like everything and never miss anything! They spend all their time in front of the television, which Mr. and Mrs. Silva don’t like at all.
One day, Mr. Silva is fed up. He puts the television in a closet. “From now on, you only watch TV on weekends,” he says. But on Tuesday, Mr. Silva has to take it to his room for the cooking show. On Thursday, the kids have to watch a very important documentary for their history class.
Mr. Silva is angry! One day, he passes a store and sees a television for sale. He has an idea! In the afternoon, when the children go back home from school, the television is gone. The next day, on the way to school, the children see their dear television in the shop window!

Sometimes, we see many pictures of young, tall, and very thin women on TV and in magazines. There are many articles telling people how to lose weight (减肥). It seems like becoming thinner can help people find true happiness.
But looking at those pictures can sometimes make us feel sad or want to eat in a way that’s not good for us. The good news is we don’t have to change how we look to be happy. What matters (要紧) is how we see ourselves and what we think about our own bodies.
Knowing what makes us happy and what we’re good at can make us feel strong and confident (自信的). Doing things like playing outside and eating healthy food, if you really want to, helps a lot too. The key is to feel good about ourselves. If we love ourselves, we’re more likely (可能的) to make friends and be happy.
Sometimes, the pictures we see show (表明) only one idea of what’s beautiful. But there are also companies, like Dove, that want to show real people are beautiful too. They use real women of different body sizes, skin colours and ages in their advertisements to tell us that everyone is beautiful in their own way.
So, remember, you don’t have to be like the people in the pictures to be happy. You’re already amazing just the way you are!

A very old Seychelles giant tortoise (塞舌尔巨龟) named Jonathan turned 191 years old on December 4th, 2023! That’s really old — he was born even before people invented (发明) the telephone and photographs. Jonathan has two Guinness World Records (吉尼斯世界纪录). He is the oldest living land animal and the oldest known tortoise or turtle.
Jonathan lives on St. Helena, a small island. People think he was born around 1832. They guess this because he was already 50 years old when he came to the island in 1882. Some people even think he might be older than 191 years old!

Hello, everyone! Welcome to my hometown—Dezhou. Let me introduce the beautiful city to you.
Happiness is important for everyone. Most people want to be happy but few know where to find happiness. Here is a story to help you.
Once a bird lived unhappily. So it traveled far away to look for its happiness.
It flew and flew. Suddenly it saw a spider climbing up a wall. The spider fell off the wall halfway. But it kept climbing again and fell off again. Even so, the spider didn’t give up. The little bird asked the spider in surprise. “Why don’t you have pain but happiness on your face though you fail again and again? Because I keep making my efforts. I’m happy.” said the spider.
Then the little bird saw it: happiness is a will in the heart.
The bird continued flying and saw a lame duck help a little duck who got lost to find the way back home. Although it was disabled, it had a smiling face. “I’m happy because I can help others.” said the lame duck.
So the bird saw it: happiness is a love in the heart.
The bird went on flying and suddenly saw a little dying flower, whose face was full of smile. The bird didn't know the reason. So it asked the little flower, “You’re going to die. Why are you still so happy?” “Because my dream will come true,” said the little flower. “What is your dream?” “To produce sweet fruit.”
The little bird saw it: happiness is a hope in the heart.
So the little bird no more looked for happiness because it had seen the truth: happiness is not in the faraway (遥远的) place but in your own heart. You are the maker of your own happiness.

The natural world is colorful with humans, plants and animals showing different colors.
There can be many different colors in human skin and it changes with the sunshine, our feelings or our health. This is because of pigments (色素), which reflect light and make what the eye sees as colors. When we feel excited or angry, the heart can send more blood to the face and the pigments in the skin become red.
Plants also have pigments. Colors are important for them to live on. The bright colors of flowers catch the attention of insects, which then carry their pollen (花粉) from one flower to another. Bees can see colors we cannot see, and they follow them to the inside of flowers. Without bees visiting flowers in this way, many plants would die out.
Animals also use colors for their own needs. They protect themselves with different colors so as not to be seen by predators. The snowshoe hare, a kind of wild animal, changes colors with seasons for this reason. During summer it has a brown color, and in winter it is white so that it can hide in the snow. However, some animals use colors as a warning to make predators stay away. Bright colors such as yellow and red are often used in this way, Nature, however, is very clever, and predators also use colors to attract the animals they feed on.
So, we can see that there are many different reasons and uses for colors in the natural world. Some uses of colors in nature remain unknown, but one thing is for sure. Colors not only make our planet beautiful, but they are also necessary for our planet to live on.
