Collecting things is a popular hobby. It includes coins, books, rocks, paintings and other beautiful things that
bring happiness to their owners. Rocks such as beautiful stones and crystals (水晶) are things that when you see
them you will feel relaxed and calm.
Then which rocks can you collect ? You can collect rocks depending on the color, shape, texture (地质) or
anything that you find interesting. Many rock collectors try to collect all the related (相关) rocks from the area where
they live. And others look for unusual rocks from places they visit.
But how to start rock collecting? You can start with rocks you find in your own backyard or neighborhood.
Search for stream (溪流) beds where unusual rocks can be seen. Finding unusual rocks is a special thing for rock
collectors. So the first place you might search for rocks is right around your home. So you might be surprised at the
interesting rocks you can find right in your own backyard. Construction sites (建筑工地) can also be great places for
finding unusual rocks because machines often bring rocks that are deep under the ground into sight. If you do visit
a construction site, always go with an adult to make sure you stay safe.
Once you begin to collect rocks, you need some necessary tools for collecting rocks , such as a hammer (锤
子), sunglasses, a watch, comfortable T-shirts and so on. Once you have prepared well, just go out and have a try.

As we all know, English is an important subject in middle school. Everyone knows that they must learn English
well, but some people don’t know how to learn it well. Here are some suggestions which may help you with your
English.
The biggest problem is people’s own fear. They don’t speak English at all because they are afraid of being
laughed at. Only if we aren’t afraid of making mistakes can we learn English well. The fastest way to learn something is
to do it again and again until you get it right. Learning English needs practice. Don’t let a little fear stop you from
getting what you want.
The best way to learn English is to have a good environment. Take notes in English, put English books around
your room, listen to English radios, watch English news, movies and TV programs. Speak English with your friendswhenever you can. The more English materials (材料) that you have around you, the faster you will learn it.
Many people think that exercises and tests aren’t much fun. However, by doing exercises and taking tests you
can really improve your English. If you never test yourself, you will never know how much you are making
progress.

People are afraid of difficulties, but sometimes it’s the difficulties and challenges that make us better people.
Cece Bell’s story is a good example. When she was four years old, Cece Bell became deaf and had to wear a hearing
aid. As the only deaf student at her school, Bell wished that there was a list of instructions to help people understand
and communicate with her better.
When she was older, this inspired Bell to write the graphic (图画的) novel EI Deafo, which is partly based on
her life but with talking rabbits instead of humans. In this book, Cece finds that she can use her hearing aid like a
superpower and becomes the hero EI Deafb. The book was a huge success and won lots of awards, and now it has
been turned into a famous TV series.
In an interview with the newspaper, Bell explained why she decided to make all the characters in EI Deafo
rabbits, “I wanted to show what it felt like to be the only deaf kid in my elemental school,” She says. “I needed a
good visual metaphor (比喻), and rabbits, with their big ears and amazing hearing, were perfect for that. Actually, I
felt just like the only rabbit whose big ears didn’t work—I had the ears for show, but little else.” The decision to write
it as a graphic novel was also linked to her experience with deafness. “I wanted to use speech balloons, which are
used in almost all graphic novels, to show what my character is hearing or speaking in the story.”
“I want to call on more people to care for the deaf children—Although we could hardly hear, we still want to
communicate with others.” she says.

Zibo city in Shandong province has stormed the Internet since late February for its local barbecue (烧烤). In
March, the small city received about 4. 8 million tourists. It is certainly not the only city that offers barbecue, or
even the most famous one, but its seemingly sudden fame was steps in the making.
Zhou Maosong, president of Zibo Tourism Promotion Association said the popularity (流行，受欢迎) started
from the crowd-gathering effect of cultural and tourism activities including a music festival. Then famous people
tasted the barbecue and put their experiences online attracting young people, which led to a wave of students from
neighbouring cities visiting Zibo. What better way to attract adventurous (爱冒险的) and hungry college students
other than “tasty barbecue that makes you full within only 50 yuan!”
However, Zibo did not fall into the trap (陷阱) of easy fame that dies fast where sellers cheat buyers on price
and quality for the most profit (盈利) in the shortest time. A blogger on Douyin took an electronic scale (电子秤)
to ten barbecue stands in Ziboto test if he would be offered less food. It turned out that not a single one was caught
short of weight and some owners even offered him local snacks for free. Local people’s honest and friendly behaviour
touched even more people online and again lifted the city’s popularity.
Zibo’s successful story has inspired governments in other parts of the country to find their ways of supporting
local businesses.
