Weekday mornings are very busy for the U. S. middle school students. When your school doesn’t have a bus, and you live too far away to walk, you need a carpool (拼车). A carpool is a group of people sharing the responsibility (责任) of driving to school in the morning. There are usually four or five kids in a carpool and their parents take turns to drive the kids in their cars.
Someone’s car smells like wet dogs. Some kids get to eat desserts for breakfast and some parents shout so much that all you try to do is to stay quiet and go unnoticed. When your mum or dad drives the carpool, your classmates get a close-up look at how strange your parents can be. It might be your first sociological (社会学的) study and your first time to work with others.
Teamwork is really important in the carpool because nobody wants to make anyone else late. It’s a great lesson in responsibility. Imagine sitting in the car outside of a classmate’s house, watching the clock and counting the seconds. Then you start to understand how your carpool friends might feel when you are still inside the house at 7: 48. You really begin to learn all your real life lessons just moments before the start of school—in the carpool.

“Four great inventions (发明)” in ancient China are important symbols of the country. Now China has “new four great inventions”: high-speed trains, mobile payment, bike sharing and online shopping. They are changing people’s lives in China and maybe all over the world.
High-speed trains: By the end of 2016, China had the world’s largest high-speed railway network (网). More than 2,500 high-speed trains are running across China each day. Lin Jinlong, an overseas student from Cambodia, shared his experience of traveling by Chinese high-speed train from Beijing to Tianjin. The two cities are over 100 km away, but the trip took only about half an hour. “That was amazing (令人惊异的)!” Lin said.
Mobile payment : Mobile payment has become a part of Chinese people’s everyday life. It makes their lives much more convenient. “My wallet is no longer in use. I can buy and eat anything I want simply with my smart phone,” said Lin. “Even vegetable sellers are using mobile payment. ”
Bike sharing: Bike sharing is not new itself, but the bike sharing in China stands out—it allows users to pick a bike anywhere in the city and leave it anywhere at the end of their journey. It’s really convenient, cheap and green. Mobike, a bike sharing company, has even brought the service to some other countries.
Online shopping: You are out if you have never shopped online. Now you can buy almost everything from websites like Taobao and JD, and get what you’ve bought within days.
China’s online shopping makes many foreigners feel both excited and surprised.
