People at home keep asking me, "Is it hard to learn Chinese?Why have you learned it so well?" Well, there's one thing that makes Chinese easy to learn：there are so many people to talk to．You've probably heard that it's the most spoken language．Today it's also one of the most written languages online．And with so many Chinese people interested in learning English, it couldn't be easier to find a friend for language learning．You just have to know where to look for them．
The really good place to look for them is QQ．QQ has the same status(地位)in China as AIM(AOL Instant Messenger)does in the US．It is reported that at any moment, up to 9,000,000 people are using QQ．They're at work, or in a web café, or at home, and the information of the users can be found．If you sign on with your address set to "abroad", you'll soon find that many thousands of them are interested in speaking to you!This is a great way for you to learn Chinese, and for them to learn English．I think that it's a very interesting way of cultural contact(文化交流), too, for ordinary people from around the world to be able to have one-on-one contact．

Are you feeling sleepy in class?I remember that I used to get up at eight when I was young．And we didn't use to do homework．But now, everything has changed．
For 12-year-old Liu Xiangjian, the most difficult thing in life is getting up at 5：50 a. m．every school day．
“I don't want to get up so early, but I used to be afraid of being late,”the six-grade Beijing primary school student said,“I want more sleep．”
Liu has breakfast at 6∶15 a. m．and after a 30-minute bus ride, arrives at school at 7 a. m．Like most of his 28 classmates, Liu arrives at school a full hour before lessons start at 8 a. m．
In 2007, a survey of 2500 schoolchildren in six cities, including Beijing and Shanghai, it was found that about 77％ students were short of sleep．
In a recent survey made by the China Daily website, almost 70％ of the 1,130 respondents said that they agreed with cutting school hours, while 22％ disagreed and 10％ had no comment．
Although their children spend long hours at school, many parents arrange for them to take more studies．
Liu's mother, Wang Qunyu, who teaches at a high school in Beijing, thinks her son is still not doing enough to win a place at a good quality high school．
“Of course I want my son to have more sleep, more exercise and more fun,' she said,“but the common saying is that if you give your child a happy childhood in China, you give him a failed future．”
Something must be done to change people's traditional thought that a college diploma(毕业证)is a ticket to a good job．

As teenagers, you have many dreams．These dreams can be very big, such as winning the Nobel Prize, or they can be small．You may just want to become one of the ten best students in your class．
Once you find a dream, what do you do with it?Do you ever try to make your dream real?
Follow Your Heart by Australian writer Andrew Matthews tells us that making our dreams real is life's biggest challenge．
You man think you're not very good at some school subjects, or that it is impossible for you to become a writer．These kinds of thoughts stop you from getting your dream, the book says．
In fact, everyone can make his dream come true．The first thing you must do is to remember what your dream is．
Don't let it leave your heart．Keep telling yourself what you want．Do this step by step and your dream will come true faster because a big dream is, in fact, many small dreams．
You must also never give up your dream．
There will be difficulties on the road to your dreams．But the biggest difficulty comes from yourself．You need to decide what is the most important．Studying instead of watching TV will lead to better exam results, while saving five yuan instead of buying an ice cream means you can buy a new book．As you get closer to your dream, it may change a little．This is good as you have the chance to learn more skills and find new interests．

If you watch the sky about an hour after the sun goes down, you may see some“moving stars”．But they aren't really stars．They're satellites．And the biggest of all is the International Space Station(ISS)．
The ISS is the biggest satellites because scientists want to live on it．They think that the best way to learn more about space is to live there．
When the space station is finished, it will be like a city in space．People will stay and study there with many of the things they have at home．Labs, living rooms and power stations are being bulit．The ISS is the most expensive space program ever．Billions of dollars are being spent on it every year．
Scientists hope that the ISS will be a stepping-stone for future space exploration．“The ISS will help us better understand the human body, explore space and study the earth．It can help us make life in the earth better,”said Kathryn Clark, an ISS scientist．
Sixteen countries are in the program：The US, Russia, Canada, Japan, Brazil and 11 European countries．China is not an ISS country, but it has helped with some of the experiments．In 2003, China sent some rice up to the ISS to find out what space would do to it．
After it's finished, more than 90 percent of the world population will be able to see the space station．So keep looking up, and maybe you'll see it get bigger．

Many scientists think that the earth is getting warmer and warmer．If the change continues, the natural world and human society will face danger．Scientists believe human activity is responsible for the climate change．We produce too many greenhouse gases．They keep heat in the air and make the earth warm．
Many of the world's governments agree．And they want to solve the problem．So from December 7 to 18, 2009, they held a conference in Copenhagen, Denmark to talk about global warming and climate change．
Representatives(代表)from 192 countries and regions went to the meeting．Although they have not reached an agreement, the Copenhagen Accord(《哥本哈根协议》)was an important beginning to save the earth．It was made by a small group of countries including China, the US, India, Brazil and South Africa．Some other countries at the conference also showed support．
What are the key points of the Copenhagen Accord?The accord limits global temperature increases to 20C by 2050 compared to pre-1850．Scientists think it could help the world to avoid serious climate change．
The accord also says that developed countries must promise to cut greenhouse gas emissions(排放)to the UN by January 31, 2010．The accord asks developed countries to give money to help developing countries．
Many countries and organizations are disappointed that the conference didn't reach a legal document(法律约定)．And they think the accord is not clear enough about its goals．
African leaders are worried that the goal of a 20C global temperature increase isn't good enough, because it will mean a much higher increase in temperature across Africa．This could cause big problems like food and water shortages across the continent．
Still, UN Secretary General Ban Ki-Moon believes the conference was an“improvement”．
