An anti-smoking ban(禁烟令) took effect on Jan 1, 2019 in Hangzhou, East China’s Zhejiang Province, stopping e-cigarett（e电子烟）use in the same place where smoking is not allowed. You have to pay a fine of up to 20,000 yuan if you break the rule. While the use of e-cigarettes is allowed in many other cities, is it necessary to do so? Let’s share our readers’ opinions.

Andrew (US) Smoking of all kinds should be banned. Smoking is a silent killer which not just kills the smokers but also the people around the smokers.

Li Wei (China) Not only does the e-cigarette not help smokers to give up smoking, but also it encourages young and old nonsmokers to start smoking, and finally they will smoke the real thing! And the smoke from e-cigarettes is just as bad for the health of others who do not smoke!

Edward (Canada) E-cigarette is another choice to smoking. I picked one up two years ago, and have not had a real cigarette since that day. As a matter of fact, I still have four packages of Zhonghua sitting on my shelf to remind me of that bad habit that I started over 40 years.

Wang Lei (China) E-cigarette might be better than real cigarettes, but they still are very closely related to cigarettes. E-cigarette not only causes dangerous side effects（副作用） but also harms the people around you through second-hand smoking.

Chris (US) People use e-cigarettes to give up smoking. I’m all for banning their sales to kids. Nicotine（尼古丁） is harmful, but if they’re going to smoke anyway, aren’t e-cigarettes better than real cigarettes?

She is worthy of this title. Cooking, painting, designing, farming ... she practises and is master of many kinds of skills. In her videos, Li wears hanfu that she made herself. She also rears silkworms in order to sew quilts. Li grows plants as well. She is often seen preparing meals with vegetables picked from her backyard. She eats a seasonal diet.

“She performs the work of a farmer with the grace (优雅) of a fairy (仙子),” the South China Morning Post said.

Li was raised by her grandparents in a small village in Sichuan province. When she was 14, she went to the city to work, but returned to the countryside in 2012 to take care of her sick grandmother.

To make a living, Li runs an online store. At first, she just used her videos to advertise her products. But the simple pleasures she presented quickly won her many fans. “In such a tech-driven age, where everything comes so quickly, it’s beautiful to watch such a slow process unfold (展现) without her getting stressed,” one of her fans said online.

For her global audience, what is even more interesting is Li’s deep knowledge of food, nature and Chinese culture. “I can see how good Chinese people are at cooking! I never thought of preserving (保存) meat like that!” one foreign fan wrote on YouTube.

As China Daily said, Li shows the world that Chinese people love good food and are good at making art out of the simplest materials. With her videos, she has spread Chinese culture to the world.

Alpha Go, a computer program, has beaten Lee Se-dol, a world-famous Go player (围棋选手), 4-1 in a competition. Lee has won 18 world championships over the past 21 years. The win is seen as a landmark (里程碑式的) moment for artificial intelligence (人工智能). The Alpha Go system was developed by British Computer Company Deep Mind.

Lee expressed great confidence ahead of the competition. However, after losing the first game, he said, “I was very surprised because I did not think I would lose the game.” Lee said he felt “regrettable (令人遗憾的)” about the result of the game. At a press conference held after the final match, Lee said he did not think Alpha Go was necessarily superior to (优于) humans. But he admitted the matches had challenged some of his ideas about the Go game.

Go originated(起源于) more than 2,500 years ago in China. It is one of the oldest board games that is still played today. Go is considered one of the most complex games. It is played on a board made up of a grid (网格) of 19 by 19 squares. The game opens with players taking turns to place black and white pieces, known as “stones,” on the board. The aim, as its name shows, is to surround a larger total area of the board than your opponent (对手) by the end of the game.

The competition was held in Seoul. It attracted huge attention. The first match was broadcast online. It was watched by 60 million viewers in China alone, with an estimated global audience of 100 million. Alpha Go’s developer got US $1 million in prize money. The money was later donated to charities.

Take a break

Make a plan

If you don’t finish your homework at school, think about how much you have left, so you can budget your time. Most students have between 1 hour and 3 hours of homework a night. If it’s a heavy homework day, you’ll need to spend more time on it. It’s a good idea to make a homework timetable, especially when you want to enjoy sports or other activities.
