While reaching the side of the river, the children pulled off their shoes and socks and put their feet first into the cold water. Walking carefully in the water, they looked for the right place where the minnows flashed (闪光). Catching minnows was very easy if two children worked together. Taking two corners of the bag, each child stood in the water and slowly lowered the bag until it was at the bottom of the river. Then, standing very still (静止的), the children waited for the fish in the river to do normal activity. The children would again get a corner of the bag in each hand and raise the bag straight up quickly, keeping it as level as possible. Lots of tiny silver fish would cover the bag.

The joy of catching minnows is that, once caught, the fish are thrown back into the water to continue their natural lives. Perhaps they will be taken up by other children and then return to their watery home again. So the bag is lowered back into the river, and the small fish swim off. Then the whole process is repeated once more as more minnows are caught and then released (释放).

There are many different methods for studying languages and learning new words. One man has come up with his own 【1】 to understand the meanings of words—through rhyming(押韵). He uses words 【2】 end with the same sound or a similar sound.

Chris Strolin, an old man 【3】 America, is working on an English language dictionary completely made up of limericks. A limerick is a short 【4】 that has five lines that rhyme.

Strolin says the idea for his dictionary started out as a joke when he 【5】 it to some of his language-loving friends. His way was to use limericks.

In 2004, he 【6】 to start his own limerick dictionary online. He called it The Omnificent English Dictionary in Limerick Form. He started out with a limerick explanation of the word “a”. From there, he just kept going.

Since the work is not 【7】, Strolin invited others to help come up with and add their own limericks to the dictionary. So far, 1,000 people have given their ideas. To date, more than 97,000 rhyming definitions(释义) have been created, with the number expected to 【8】 100,000 this year.

The dictionary itself will be growing for many 【9】 to come. Strolin said his dictionary would not be fully finished until 2076. He said he hoped his grandchildren, or maybe their children, would take over the work and 【10】 it.

Many people use apps (手机软件) like MeituXiuxiu to edit photos before posting them on social media. Some teenagers are even having plastic surgery (整容) at an early age. Zeng, a senior 2 student from Chengdu, had a double eyelid surgery done this summer. She and many of her classmates believe bigger eyes look more beautiful.

As teenagers' bodies grow and change, they become aware of the smallest flaw (缺陷) in their looks. They are very worried about it. This can affect their health.

According to Huxiu News, over 60 percent of girls refuse to take part in some daily activities such as going to school, because they feel bad about their looks. As much as 31 percent of teenagers do not want to speak up in class because they worry that others will notice their looks.

One of the main causes is advertising, TV shows and social media. Pictures of "perfect" faces and bodies are everywhere. They suggest that having large eyes, pale skin and skinny bodies is the only way to be beautiful. Magazines give tips about how to lose weight "in days". Advertisements suggest that you should whiten your skin using certain products. And TV shows often make fun of overweight characters. Seeing all these things can make people believe that they should change their bodies.

So what should we do? According to Nancy Etcoff of the Harvard Media School, "We need to help young people in many ways. These ways can include educating students about body confidence in school, as well as encouraging parents to talk to their kids about his topic. After all, beauty comes in all shapes and sizes" Etcoff said.

Most people would think they have a poor m【2】. But scientists believe that the act of walking through doorways makes them forget things. They call it the "doorway effect".

The scientists from the University of Notre Dame in the US did an e【3】. They placed several objects into two rooms. The students had to put an object from Room A into a shoebox and then carried it to Room B through a doorway. In Room B, they exchanged it for another object and brought it back to Room A in the shoebox. Then the students were asked to do the same things w【4】 crossing though a doorway.

During the period of time, the scientists would randomly (随机地) ask the students which object was in their shoebox at the moment. The scientists found their answers were slower and less c【5】 when they walked through a doorway and into a new room

"A doorway is just like a boundary (分界线) in the mind," the lead scientist Gabriel Radavansky told Scientific American. Setting "boundaries" in our minds can cause us to forget things e【6】. For example, when you walk into the living room, your brain thinks the act of getting your schoolbag is already "done" and it moves on.

Is there a way to s【7】 the "doorway effect? Writing down what you need before going into another room might be helpful.
