A new study finds that some new sports such as skateboarding, snowboarding, and mountain biking have caused(造成)more than 4 million injuries(伤害)since 2000. Dr. Vani Sabesan, from the US, did the study with his team.

Sabesan said, “While we’re watching or doing all these new sports, we always talk about the exciting feeling, not about the safety.

Skateboarding caused the greatest number of head and neck injuries – more than 129,000. Snowboarding, the cold-weather cousin of skateboarding, caused more than 97,000 head or neck injuries. Skiing came third with more than 83,000 injuries.

Sabesan thinks that people should do something. “There are many young kids taking part in the sports, and they’re getting younger all the time. They go 60 miles an hour down a ski hill,” Sabesan said. “They are risking their life! So we need to make sure the kids wear helmets(头盔). And we need to make sure there are doctors around to prepare for the dangerous situations.”

Farmers' Harvest (收获) Festival in China started from 2018. It is the first festival for farmers. The festival falls on the Autumnal Equinox (秋分) each year. And the Autumnal Equinox is usually between September 22nd and 24th, during the harvest season.

As we all know, China has the largest population all over the world. In the past, it was difficult to feed the people. After reform and opening (改革开放), with the development of modern agriculture (农业), people's life is getting better and better. The festival shows that our government is paying more attention to agriculture and farmers' life. It will greatly encourage farmers. China has a long history of agriculture. The Farmers' Harvest Festival helps to show China's long farming culture to the world. It also improves the cultural self-confidence (文化自信心) and national pride (民族自豪感).

The festival is especially created for farmers, so they think of their own ways to celebrate it. During the festival, many different kinds of activities are held across the country, such as folk culture performances, food tasting and so on.

Some people think the festival is the happiest time of a year, even better than the Spring Festival, because food gives people a sense of safety and hope. For other people, the harvest festival is a time to look back at the past and look forward to the future.
