In a local public park, groups of middle-aged Chinese women dance in rows in loud music. Next to the big lake, some people are playing different instruments, like guitar, violin and erhu. Two women sing along to the music in Cantonese( ).

FOOD

Murray Wenzel, 29, Australia

Almost every big city in Australia has a Chinatown. Chinatown in Brisbane is full of restaurants, just like Beijing. But the food is quite different from “real” Chinese meals.

Both of fortune cookies and prawn crackers ( 薯 片 ) are in every Chinatown restaurant. But I seldom saw them in Beijing.

BUILDING

When you walk into Singapore, you can see different signs ( 招牌) in Chinese everywhere. Three-floor houses stand along the streets. They are like the qilou buildings found in Guangdong and Fujian provinces. In the past, homeowners would live on the upper floors. They would run a small shop on the ground floor.

【题目】We all wish we could have just one more hour of sleep.

For lucky high school students in England, they’re now going to reset their alarm(闹钟) and get one more hour of sleep. Instead of starting school at 9 a.m., students will begin their school day at 10 a.m.

This is part of a huge study by Oxford University. The experiment( 实验) will see if later classes can help them get good marks.

“We know that something funny happens when you’re a teenager, "a sleep researcher Colin Epsie told The Telegraph. “When you get bad marks, your parents think it is because you're lazy, and everything would be OK if you could get to sleep earlier. Science is telling us that teenagers need to sleep more in the mornings.”

In 2009, some scientists did other similar experiments. They found that 19% students got better marks in Maths and Science.

Is one more hour's sleep good for all students' studies? Yet we’ll have to wait until 2018 to find out these exciting results!
