On March 17th, 2023, Beijing made changes to the P. E. test in the 2023 high school entrance exam. All students will get full scores as long as they take part in the exam.
Earlier this year, some cities such as Taiyuan canceled the 1,000-meter and 800-meter runs. Other cities let students choose if they wanted to do them in the exam. This is to make sure it’s safe for students after recovering from COVID-19.
At the same time, P.E. classes across China have also made some changes. Students are having easier activities such as dancing, fun games and sit-ups. In this way, they can improve their health slowly.
“We used to run two laps around the playground every day during the morning break. But after many students got the illness, we didn’t do this activity and started doing Kungfu,” said Liu Jiawei, a student from Changchun, Jilin. “As a ninth-grader, I’m also happy that I don’t need to take the 1,000-meter run test. Most students welcome this new change. But some who are really good at running are not happy because they won’t have advantages any more.” Liu added.
However, we have to understand that such a big decision like this won’t make everyone happy. What’s more important is students’ safety during exercises and tests. Life comes first before everything else.

When you visit a foreign country, two things are important. You should know how to be polite.
And you’d better carry a map because it is not easy to understand the directions.
You should say “Thank you” when someone passes you the food on the table, when someone walking ahead of you keeps the door open for you, and so on. “Thank you” is used between friends, and between parents and children. “Excuse me” is another short sentence they use. When you hear someone say so behind you, you know that somebody wants to walk past you without touching you.
It’s not polite to break others when they are talking. If you want to speak to one of them, say “Excuse me” first, and then begin talking.
If you have no maps in a foreign country, it’s difficult to ask for directions.
In the countryside of America, usually there are not many landmarks (地标). Instead of landmarks, people will tell you like this. “Go north two miles. Turn east, and then go another mile”.
In Japan, most streets there don’t have names, people use landmarks in their directions instead of street names. For example, “Go straight down to the corner. Turn left at the big hotel and go past a fruit market, the post office is across from the bus stop.”
People in Greece sometimes don’t even try to give directions because not many visitors can understand the Greek language. Instead, a Greek will often say. “Come with me. Then he’ll lead you there.”
One thing will help you everywhere, you may not understand a person’s word, but maybe you can understand his body language.

Enlightenment (启发) is a strange thing. It comes in unexpected moments (时刻). I received a moment of enlightenment just recently from the mouth of a little girl. I was heading into the local post office to send a letter. I saw a young woman who was my neighbor. On her back was her little daughter who was no more than three. After talking for a few minutes she shared a story of her high school days with me and we both smiled. Just then her little girl pointed up to the wrinkles (皱纹) around my eyes.
“What are those ” she asked. I smiled again and said they were laugh lines. She looked at me for a second and then said, “You must laugh a lot!”
On my way home that funny, enlightening moment stayed in my mind.
“Yes,” I thought to myself. “I have laughed a lot over the years. And if my heavy wrinkles are a sign of that, then it’s a sign I’m pleased to share with everyone I meet.”
Our laughter, love, and smiles don’t just produce wrinkles in our skin. They also help our hearts. Every act of kindness reaches the bottom of others’ hearts.
Learn to love your laugh lines and enjoy your wrinkles. They are a sign that you have laughed a lot. They are a sign that you have loved a lot. They are a sign that you have lived a lot. They are a sign that you are being the person God meant for you to be.

Today, it’s my honor to be here to introduce Chinese national treasure—tea. Chinese tea, the most popular drink in the world, has a long history of about 5,000 years. There are so many kinds of tea, such as green tea, black tea, white tea. But in fact, it was invented by accident. Some leaves fell into the boiling water and remained there for a while. It produced a nice smell. That’s it!
As far as I know, people grow tea plants on the sides of mountains. When the leaves are ready, they are picked by hand and sent for processing. Then it is packed and sent to all over the world. It’s well-known that Chinese tea is good for our health.
That’s all, thank you!
