This famous poem (诗), Happy Rain on a Spring Night, was written by Du Fu (712—770, the Tang Dynasty) when he was living and farming in Chengdu. His farming experience taught him to be thankful (感谢) to nature and it is shown in this poem.
The very first word, “good”, shows the poet’s joy and love for the spring rain. The rain is good because it “knows” the proper time to come. Here the poet uses personification (拟人), as if the rain was smart enough to come in time for the farmers’ busy season.
When the rain comes, it appears during the night without making any noise. Unlike the summer storms, the spring rain finishes its task without being known.
In the third couplet (对句), the poet describes a peaceful scene to us. In the night sky, the clouds look dark and heavy. It’s a sign that there will be enough rain during the night. The light from the boat makes the dark scene a bit livelier.
Lastly, the poet starts to imagine. Tomorrow morning, he thinks, the city of Chengdu will become beautiful when all of the flowers bloom after the rain.

Besides these, books also tell me other things—how to be a brave man and how to tell the difference between right and wrong. In a word, good books can let me know what I don’t know before.

Do you have difficulty falling asleep at night If so, here is a piece of advice for you: Listen to some soft music.
Scientists have found that soft music can help to improve sleep quality(质) and quantity(量). This works for sleepers of all ages, and even for those with sleeping problems. Soft music can help us fall asleep faster, wake up less during the night and feel more rested in the morning. You may not notice the effects(效果) overnight, though. It could take as many as three weeks to see some improvements.
Why can soft music help us sleep better The reasons aren’t clear yet. It may have something to do with the relaxing effect of a good song. Music can have real physical effects, too. Soft music can lower our heart rate(心率) and slow down our breathing. This prepares us for sleep.
Scientists say that for most people, music that has 70 beats(节拍) per(每) minute (bpm) works best. Classical, jazz and folk music are usually more effective than other musical styles. Familiar songs work well, too. You may need to make your own playlists. If you are not sure how many beats a song has in a minute, you can find out by entering its title into . And remember to get the volume(音量) right. Make sure that the final piece is one that fades out. Or, you may be woken up by the sudden silence.
It is very important to get enough high quality sleep. Before you go to bed tonight, play some soft music. Then, just prepare to fall asleep.

Now we are staying in Bangkok. It is the capital of Thailand and it is a very interesting place to visit. Yesterday we visited some places of interest in the city. They are great! This morning we went shopping. Bangkok is a wonderful place to shop for jewelry（珠宝）and clothes. My mother bought a nice necklace（项链）. My father and I bought some fashionable T-shirts.
Thailand is called “Land of Smiles” because people here are very friendly. And it’s true! When we eat in the restaurants in Bangkok, the waiters are really nice and they are always smiling. Thai food is delicious, but it is sometimes a little spicy（辛辣的）for me. You can also get Chinese food here because a lot of Chinese people came to live in Bangkok many years ago. Chinese food is very good, and it isn’t as spicy as Thai food. Our American food can also be found in Bangkok. However, I don’t eat it. You know, I’d like to try new things when I travel.

Street art is spreading(传播) quickly all over the world. You can find it on buildings, sidewalks and street signs from Tokyo to Paris.
It is said that the activity began in New York in the 1960s. Young adults would use paint in special cans to put their words and other pictures on walls and trains around the city. One well-known street artist(艺术家) is Swoon. She cuts out paper pictures of people and puts them on walls. Swoon didn’t start her career(生涯) as a street artist. She studied art but, as time went on, got bored with the works she saw in museums and galleries(美术馆). People enjoyed Swoon’s strong and interesting style.
Street artists do their work for a reason. Some of them choose street art because it is closer to common people. Some artists try to express their political opinions in their works. Advertising companies also use street art in their advertisements. The New York department store Saks Fifth Avenue recently used a street artist’s design for their shop windows and shopping bags.
In today’s world, artists can show their pictures to the people all over the world on the Internet. Many people, however, say that seeing a picture on the Internet is never as good as seeing it live. Street art lives with the energy and life of a big city. There it will continue to change and grow.

Although many people read online, books have not gone out of fashion. In Beijing, Guangzhou and Shanghai, lucky passengers may find books somewhere on the underground.
The Fair, an online publishing company, has put 10,000 books on the underground, planes and taxis to make people more interested in reading. This project is called “Mobook”.
“Mobook” gets its idea from “Books on the Underground”, a community project in London. The purpose of “Books on the Underground” is to encourage people to read more. Zhang Wei, the CEO of the Fair also wanted to do something in China. He sent an e-mail to Ms Cordelia Oxley, the leader of “Books on the Underground”, describing his plan and explaining the rules of “Mobook”. The leader replied to him in just two hours, saying that she thought the idea was great and she would offer help if needed.
But “Mobook” project is a little different from that in London. It has its own online system. People who want to donate books must give their information online. QR code stickers (二维码标签) are then sent to their addresses. The book owners should stick them on the books before donating books and reader can know where the books are from with the help of QR codes.
“Mobook” is a hot topic. Now thousands of bookworms have already taken part in the project. Zhang Wei said, “I am happy to see more and more people share their views (观点) about the books online and enjoy the happiness that reading brings to them.”
