I'm glad to hear that you are very interested for Guoxue（国学）． Let me to give you a simple introduction．
Generally speaking， Guoxue refers to the excellent traditional Chinese culture， which include philosophy， literature， history， music， painting and so on． Guoxue has been playing an increasing important part in China， especially for us students． Not only it tell us how to study， but it also teaches us what to live． More and more Guoxue course are given in schools of different levels all over China．
If you want to get the better understanding of Guoxue， you are welcome to China to learn it， feel it and enjoy them． I'm sure you'll benefit from live in two different cultures． I'm looking forward to seeing you soon in China．
Yours，

You've probably heard the phrase "go outside and get some fresh air" before． Breathing fresh air can make us feel more energetic．1.．
According to a new study from the World Health Organization （WHO）， nine out of every 10 people on the planet breathe polluted air every day．
Polluted air can get deep inside your lungs when you breathe， causing diseases like lung cancer and heart disease． Around 7 million people die every year from breathing polluted air．2.， mainly in Asia and Africa． Among the world's 20 most polluted cities， 14 are in India．
Some of the biggest sources of air pollution include factories and vehicles． In some regions， sand and desert dust， as well as the burning of waste， also cause air pollution．
3.． More than 40 percent of the world's population is still using woodstoves （木柴炉） or open fires to make meals and heat their homes． This creates harmful particles （颗粒） and gases indoors．
4.． India has provided 37 million poor people with free liquified Petroleum gas （液化石油气）， while Mexico City has created cleaner vehicle standards．
Maria Neira， the WHO's head of public health， said China has set a good example to the world in improving air quality． "5.，" she said．
A． More than 90 percent of these deaths happen in low-income and middle-income countries
B． Although this problem is serious， the good news is that countries are taking action to fight it
C．Another large source of air pollution can be found in some people's homes
D． However， not everyone in the world has the chance to enjoy it
E． Air pollution is a serious problem around the world
F． There is a big step at the government level in China declaring war on air pollution
G． People who work outdoors are more directly harmed by air pollution
One day your pocket might power your smartphone． Soon you may never have to worry about your smartphone running out of juice． Your clothing will simply power it back up for you． That's the word from scientists at China's Chongqing and Jinan Universities in a study just published in the journal ACS Nano．
Researchers have been hard at work during the last few years trying to create wearable energy， or clothes that can charge things． The assumption is simple． People today rely heavily upon devices such as smartphones and tablets． And they're looking for ways to recharge these devices on the go． So if you could design clothing fabric that could make use of solar power -one of the most widely available and inexhaustible renewable energy sources - you'd be able to charge your various devices with ease．
Scientists have had some past success creating energy-harvesting fibers． But there was always one problem when they tried to fashion these threads into self-powered smart clothes： The fibers they designed got damaged during the clothing manufacturing process， namely during the weaving and cutting． The Chongqing and Jinan University scientists say they've solved this problem because the energy-collecting and energy-storing threads they created are highly flexible - each individual thread is easily bendable， and not simply the fabric as a whole．
The team's sample textile can be fully charged to 1.2 volts in 17 seconds by exposure to sunlight - enough voltage that your future smart T-shirt or smart dress might be able to power small electronics． It's durable， too； their research showed there was no descent in the fabric after 60 days． But don't worry that this means the fabric is similar to rough cloth． The scientists note their textile can be fashioned into numerous different patterns， and tailored into any designed shape， without affecting performance．
