In October 2020, the big screen belonged to one young actor. Peng Yuchang, 26, starred in three films that came out that month.
He played a young volleyball coach in Leap, a deliveryman(送货员) in Coffee and Tea and craftsman (工匠) in My People, My Home town. In September, in the web show Ran for Young, he was a naughty high school student.
But just five years ago, no one could know that Peng would achieve so much so soon. At that time, he was still a student. He looked like "a boy next door", but not a star. He often watched wonderful movies because he could learn a lot from experienced actors like Huang Bo. He spent a lot of time reading scripts(剧本) and getting into his roles.
His hard work has paid off. In the end, Peng has made his dream come true.

Henry's neighbor, an old woman named Lisa, sees him from her yard one day. She has not seen him outside for days! She asks him to come closer to the fence(篱笆) next to her house.
"Hello, Henry'! Just look at this fence. It is falling apart. You are a strong man. Can you help me fix this fence?"' Lisa asks.
Henry is angry. He is the one who needs help right now. He thinks the old lady is kind of rude. But she is too old to fix the fence herself, so he agrees.

"What a wonderful job! Could you please paint it for me?" Lisa says to him.
Henry cannot believe she is asking for more help. Doesn't she know how sad he is? But because he respects(尊重) her, he agrees. He works hard painting the fence in the hot sun, but Lisa's orange and encouragement are helpful. As their neighbors pass by, they all tell Henry what a beautiful job he has done. Henry feels very happy.
Henry no longer feels that life is meaningless. He finally realizes that Lisa wasn't rude. She knows that staying busy can help him forget his sadness. He helped her, but she truly saved him.
Language students often think they have memory problems. They worry because they can't remember words. In fact, the problem isn't usually about their memory. The problem is about how they study.
To remember words better, you need to understand how memory works. There are two kinds of memory: short-term and long-term. When you see, hear or read something. it goes first into short-term memory. But short-term memory lasts for only a few seconds. You will only remember something longer if it goes into long-term memory. Your long-term memory is like a very big library with many books. And like a library, it's well-organized. When you put away a book-or memory- you can't just leave it anywhere. You have to choose a place where you can find it again. How can you do this with vocabulary(词汇)? The answer is to work with the word and think about the word in new ways. You can do this by writing new sentences that include it. Even better, you can invent a little story about the word, with people or places that you know. Another way is to make a picture in your mind with the word. For example, if the word is "height", you can think of the tallest person you know and try to guess his or her height. All of these activities are good ways to think about words. They make the meaning of words stronger in your long-term memory. And they give a way to find a word when you need it.
As we all face the novel coronavirus, protecting ourselves is the same as protecting others. Here are some safety suggestions based on the Handbook for the Prevention and Treatment of COVID-19, which was released by We Doctor Digital General Hospital.
Stay away from crowds and wear masks(口罩).
If you have to go to crowded places, remember to mask up. Keep at least one meter of distance between yourself and other people, particularly those who are coughing or sneezing. Why? Most crowded places are poorly ventilated(通风的).The novel coronavirus can travel by droplets(飞沫)one to two meters in the air before falling to the ground. If you are too close, you can breathe in the virus. Wearing a mask can prevent droplets from reaching your face or mouth.
Keep proper indoor ventilation while at home. Open windows to let in fresh air during the day. It's best to do this three times a day for 15 minutes to half an hour each time. Why? The virus can only infect(感染) you when it builds up to a certain amount(数量).Proper ventilation can stop the virus from gathering(聚集) into a greater amount.
Keep up good habits.
Keep healthy habits such as eating a balanced diet(均衡饮食) and doing some exercise, as well as getting enough sleep. Why? Doing these things can help you become stronger, making it less likely for you to become infected.
Wash hands properly.
Remember to wash your hands before eating, after going to the bathroom, coming home, and touching dirty things and animals. Avoid touching your eyes, nose and mouth before washing your hands. Why? Your hands might touch the surfaces contaminated(污染) by the virus. Washing your hands often can stop the virus from entering your body.
Many people love pet dogs. Do you also have one? You may leave your dog at home alone for eight hours, or a normal workday. Dogs are social animals, so leaving them alone for a longtime can have a bad influence on them. Even though they sleep most of the day, they need some activities to keep them happy.
If you have a friend who is at home during the day, and who likes spending time with dogs, this may be your best choice. It can also be safer, because you will trust the person coming to your house. Or you can take your dog to your friend's home.
Doggy daycares is a good choice for you, too. You can trust in the daycare to take care of your pet while you are away. Many daycares will also keep your pet overnight if you need them to. It's always a good idea to visit the daycare before taking your dog there. Make sure that the people working there are good with dogs.
lf you don't want to choose a doggy daycare, you can hire(雇佣) a dog walker. Hiring a dog walker is a good idea for you if you want your pet to have more attention during the day. When hiring a dog walker, it's best to go through an agency(代理商).Be sure to ask them if the dog walker can be trusted. You should also ask them what your pet will do while the dog walker is there.
Dogs are our friends. If you have a dog, treat him as your family member. Spend more time with him. Don't leave him alone for a long time.

Forget your passwords or your ID? Well, you'll never forget your face. Using your face as your ID is quick and convenient. You could take the subway or board a flight with just your face alone. This is how facial recognition(人脸识别)works.
In China, facial recognition has been used in many areas. In Zhengzhou, people can now get on the subway by using facial recognition technology. They just need to link their online payment systems to the subway's smartphone app. Students at many schools in Chongqing can pass through the gates by scanning (扫描) their faces.
However, there are no laws about the use and collection of facial information now. Many people worry about the collection and use of this information by governments and companies(公司)."I feel uncomfortable because I don't know how the company is using my facial information or whether it will be leaked(泄露)", said Feng Yi. When someone steals your personal information, you can change your bank cards and passwords, but can you change your face when your facial information is stolen?
