【题目】 When is the spring season?

Spring is the season succeeding winter and preceding summer. Spring refers to the season as well as to ideas of rebirth, rejuvenation, renewal, resurrection, and regrowth. During spring an important celebration takes place: Easter Day. It varies between March 22 and April 25 in Westem tradition, and between April 4 and May 8 in Eastern Christianity.

What happens in spring?

Spring is a time when flowers bloom and trees begin to grow and reproduce. The days grow longer and the temperature in most areas becomes more temperate. You can also contemplate the melting of ice and thawing of the ground. The weather during this period becomes much sunnier while hibernating animals begin to come out of hibernation.

What to do during the spring season?

There are so many things to do to enjoy spring:

Plan a holiday and make a trip, Vacations aren’t just for summer anymore!

Take a walk in a field of flowers.

Meditate: Contemplate and reflect on the beauty of nature. Forget the worries of everyday life and empty the mind. Concentrate on the sounds and the scent of nature.

Spot the things you want to change in your life. Spring is a time for rebirth.

【题目】 It was a beautiful, sunny Saturday. I was going to meet an old university friend I hadn’t seen for years. My train was running a little late, but that was no big problem – I could text him to tell him. He would understand. But ... where was my mobile phone? I had that familiar terrible feeling. Yes, I’d forgotten to take it with me when I left home.

No mobile phone. I’m sure I’m not alone in feeling worried when I don’t have my phone with me. In fact, I know I’m not alone: 66% of us experience “nomophobia”, the fear of being without one’s mobile phones. That’s according to a study of a survey in the UK about their relationship with mobile phones. It says we check our mobile phones 34 times a day, and women are more “nomophobia” than men. 77% of them say they are unable to be apart (分开) from their phones for more than a few minutes.

It’s funny to think that around 30 years ago the only people with mobile phones would be business people carrying their large “bricks (砖头)”. Of course, these days, mobile phones are everywhere. And when there are more phones than people in the world, maybe it’s time to ask yourself, “Are you in control of your phone, or does your phone control you?”

So, what happened to my university friend? When I arrived a few minutes late he just laughed and said, “You haven’t changed at allstill always late!” We had a great afternoon, full of jokes and stories, and I forgot about my phone. Not having it with me felt strangely free. Maybe I’ll leave it at home again next time.

【题目】 My interest in cooking started when I was 11, partly thanks to my mother. She didn’t really like cooking and when she did cook, I didn’t like her food. Once I was watching something about cooking on TV and I thought I could do this, so I went to the bookstore and looked for the biggest cookbook I could find.

During a year, I had produced most of its recipes (食谱) and was ready for a bigger challenge (挑战). I wanted to create my own dishes and I started cooking for more people than just my family. To my joy, my parents allowed me to build a test kitchen. I did much cooking to test my dishes in it and my skill improved quickly. Later, my mom and I set up a dinner club that organized monthly events inside my home. Now as a teen chef (主厨), I have also cooked in top-class restaurants around the country. I am not doing it for the money, but because I love cooking.

Now I know that when you stop caring whether you’ll be famous or do well, your dream will come to you.
