In 2006, the 24 solar terms(节气) were listed as national intangible cultural heritage(非物质文化遗产)in China, and they were added to the UNESCO's(联合国教科文组织)intangible cultural heritage list ten years later.

The 24 solar terms are a knowledge system about time. They were born in China several thousand years ago and were used to record time. They showed Chinese people's hope to achieve harmony(和谐）with nature.

"We want to spread and protect traditional culture, as well as develop it in a creative way. "said the leader of a cultural organization. Some groups in the organization also organized competitions. Wei Wei, the winner of the second prize of a competition, produced a long painting describing some customs about each term.

"When creating this painting, I realized that 24 solar terms affected people's lives. For example, in many places, people have the custom of celebrating the beginning of winter. When winter comes, agricultural(农业的) activities end and people wear new clothes to greet each other. It means many folk customs and agricultural activities are influenced by the 24 solar terms. "said Wei.

At the 2022 FIBA Women's Basketball World Cup, the Chinese women's basketball team got second place in Sydney. They won a silver medal(银牌)for the second time in history.

"This result is better than expected. At first, our goal was to do better than the last time (a sixth-placed finish), "Zheng Wei said on Sunday. She is the head coach of the Chinese women's basketball team. She also said that her players were brave to fight in their own style, which was truly wonderful.

Once upon a time, there was a boy named Jack. He had many bad habits. One day, his teacher, a wise old man, took the boy to his garden. There were many different plants in the garden. The teacher pointed at a small plant and told Jack to pull it out of the soil(土壤). The boy easily did so.

Next, the teacher asked Jack to do the same with another plant. This plant was a little bigger than the first one. Then, the teacher continued to make the boy uproot (把……连根拔起)the bigger and stronger plant. After a while, Jack began to have difficulty in pulling it out. At one point, he tried his best, but could not uproot a large plant. "It's impossible to pull it out!" Jack shouted after trying several times.

The teacher smiled and said, "You see, it's very easy to uproot young plants. Similarly, bad habits are easy to break when you're young. As you grow up, these habits will become stronger and much harder to remove. "Finally, Jack understood the meaning of this lesson, He began to get rid of his bad habits and change his life style.
