She is not alone. In recent years, more and more Chinese teenagers are becoming homebodies. A survey of kids aged 2 to 14 showed about 60 percent of them spend less than one hour doing outdoor activities every day.

Even if this isn't a problem, kids still prefer indoor life. Wang Di, 12, from Anhui No.50 Middle School, often reads Harry Potter, listens to music and surfs the Internet at home.“I can do so many things I like at home rather than hanging out in smoggy weather,”she said.
The situation for foreign students is quite different. Tina Smith, 15, from a high school in Toronto Canada, says her peers(同龄人) don't like staying indoors at all.“They spend their free time outdoors even if it just means going to the park or reading a book under the tree. Nice weather, little homework and rich outdoor activities enable us to do that,”she said.

When I was stressed out, Daddy would often hand me a cup of hot milk and sat next to me. He would say,“The best is always to come, my dear.”

For example,live-streaming platforms will put a limit(限制) on how much money people can send to the hosts.When viewers reach the limit, they will not be able to send gifts or give money. If the host asks viewers to send gifts or tips, he or she will be added to blacklist(黑名单).
