20．Lin Jiajie，10，and four of his cousins are among thousands of children taking summer courses in the Shenzhen Children's Palace．What sets them apart（区别） from most of the other kids is that they are French-Chinese，and they are in Shenzhen from France to experience Chinese culture first-hand．
As China enjoys a higher status（地位） around the world，and learning Chinese becomes more popular in Western countries，a growing number of overseas Chinese have begun to send their children back to China to experience Chinese culture．
Canadian-Chinese，Zhu Xueyun，said taking children to Chinese schools in the United States for one year or teaching them Chinese at home was not half as good as sending them to China for even one month．
For this reason，when Zhu's husband got an opportunity to work in Shenzhen for a few years，they took it at once．She sent her daughter to a painting course in the Children's Palace days after they moved to Shenzhen in early July．
Gao Junwen，director of the children's training center in the Shenzhen Children's Palace，said there had been an increase in the number of overseas Chinese kids taking courses in the center．"Many of them are among the most talented in the class．Coming from different backgrounds（背景），the kids are having a very positive influence between each other．"he said．

19．

A school bus is one that is used to take children to and from school．
In the USA，about 450，000school buses take more than 25million children to and from school．The yellow school bus is a US icon （象征）．Yellow became the color of school buses in the USA in 1939．Dr．Frank got the good idea．He said it was easy for people to see yellow buses and the black letters on them in early morning or late afternoon．That would make children safer．
There are not many school buses in Britain，and they are not yellow．They have trackers （追踪器） on them，so kids are being tracked while they travel to and from school by bus．The trackers let parents know where the school bus is and whether their kids are on the bus．
Kindergarten is a difficult time for some kids．It's the first time for them to go away from their parents．To make kids love their school，Japanese kindergartens and schools have colorful buses．The buses can easily make children want to take them--and then，go to school．Even some parents want to take them，too!
School buses are becoming more and more popular in China now．It saves a lot of time for students to take a school bus．It's said that there will be 5，000yellow school buses on the road by the end of this year in Beijing．

18．You eat to stay fit and keep your body working，right？Then reading is food for your mind and soul．Reading informs you of what's happening around．Reading encourages you to think and imagine，think out of the box and imagine the impossible．
In the past，people just read books，only books．Today，we have books online，which makes reading easy．The web，our new storehouse of information is just a click away．But this in no way hasstolen the magic of reading books，the sound of their pages'flutter （翻页） and their smell… You can lie in bed with a book，but with a computer you possibly can't．No matter how you read，reading is important．
Remember those bedtime stories？We read fun facts about animals，plants and the universe．We ask"whys"and"hows"．In books，we find their answers．Children who are introduced to reading at an early age are seen to have a better understanding of phonics （语音学）．They master language skills easily，have a richer vocabulary and have greater reading abilities．Children，who grow up reading good books，mostly stand out．The way they think and act is very different from those who have never been introduced to reading．Reading not only adds to their knowledge but also shapes their personalities．Reading has a great influence on one's life．Teenagers are easily influenced by whatever they read．If inspirational stories and life experiences are read in one's teens，they can change a person for the better．They stay with him and keep encouraging him to achieve his goals and choose the right against the wrong．
The more you read，the more creative and imaginative you will become．Reading develops vocabulary，improves language skills and sharpens your problem-solving abilities．It leads to a better understanding of self．Reading gives you knowledge，it makes you more confident．The more you read about others'lives and experiences，a better decision-maker you will become．
Reading about the importance of reading should lead you to read more，and more，and more．So choose a book you like and don't stop reading until you reach the end．And even after that read as much as you can．

17．Mr．Ma，a famous mental doctor from Beijing once said at an important meeting，"Now many young students can have problems with their minds．Some students become worried because they have to study very hard．Others have trouble getting on well with people around them like their parents and classmates．Parents and teachers should care more about this problem．"

At the end of the meeting，Mr．Ma offered some good ideas to young people：

11．Studying in groups is becoming more and more popular in class．It has many advantages．For example，we can not only save time but also encourage each other when we study in groups．
I still remember when I was in Grade 8，my physics was very poor．I had a really hard time with it．Once in class，the teachers asked us to discuss it with each other，but I was very shy，I could not do it like what they told me．My physics teacher encouraged me to face others and talk with someone else bravely．Then I studied with some classmates together．When I did not understand any questions，they could give me some advice，I could quickly find out the ways to deal with the problems．After that，I felt very relaxed and asked my classmates a lot of questions about physics．I did not feel stressed out at all．At last，I finished my homework by myself for the first time．How excited I was!
Because of studying in groups，I am not worried about physics any more．With my classmates'help，I get more confidence．It also gives me more chances to improve myself in many ways．
