Have you tried to run or walk for exercise and then given up? If you answered yes, you should try a new kind of exercise: aquatic (水中的) exercise. Aquatic exercise is like exercise on land, but you do it in a swimming pool. More and more people are trying aquatic exercise. Aquatic exercise feels easier than exercising on land. Why? You weigh about 90% less in the pool. It is better for your knees than running or walking. Water is about 1, 000 times thicker and heavier than air.

The expression “down to earth”(脚踏实地) means being open and honest. It is easy to get on with someone who is down to earth. A down-to-earth person is the opposite of someone who acts important or proud. Down-to-earth people could be important members of society. But they do not consider themselves to be better than others who are less important. A person who is filled with his own importance and pride is said to have his nose in the air. Americans use another expression that is similar in some ways to down to earth. The expression is both feet on the ground. Someone with both feet on the ground is a person with a good understanding of reality(现实). He may have dreams, but he does not allow them to have influence on his understanding of what is real. The opposite kind of person is one who has his head in the clouds. Someone with his head in the clouds is a person whose mind is not on what is happening in real life. Such a person may be called a day-dreamer. When we have both our feet on the ground and when we are down to earth. We do not have our noses in the air. We act honestly and openly to others.

Antarctica (南极洲) is the coldest, driest and windiest place on our planet. What would it be like to live and work there? On Oct. 15th, 2019, 50 Chinese scientists set sail from Shenzhen, heading for Antarctica. This was our country's 36th Antarctic expedition. The ship, Xuelong 2, is the first icebreaker made in China.

There are also many wild animals, such as penguins and seals. Scientists can learn how animals live in cold places by studying them. As we all know, life in Antarctica is not easy-it's cold and sometimes dangerous. But scientists say it's still quite fun.

In early spring, the changing temperature usually makes a number of Chinese people uncomfortable. Cold air, bringing rain or even snow, easily tears up (破坏) the warmth of the spring within a night . However, with the coming of Guyu-the Grain (谷物) Rain, the blue sky and gentle winds would finally stay. Guyu usually comes on or around April 20 every year, it is the sixth of the 24 solar terms (节气). It means the beginning of a lively summer and people get busy from now on. Sow (播种) grains This is an important period of the growth of grains. The ancient Chinese already knew that as Guyu comes, the weather will become warm enough for sowing. The farmers usually catch the chance to plant rice, corn and beans. Hope for safety and harvest (收获) For those living near the sea, they will hold some ceremonies (仪式) on Guyu, hoping for safety as well as harvest during the coming fishing season. Watch the peony (牡丹) It’s also a great time to see the peony, which is known as “the Queen of All Flowers” in Chinese culture. As a result, watching peonies becomes one of the most enjoyable activities for many people. The flower is said to be the favourite of Empress (女皇) Wu Zetian of the Tang Dynasty (唐朝), who was the only woman ruler in Chinese history. Pick tea leaves Tea leaves picked before Guyu are among the best tea leaves. People think that the tea leaves picked on the day of Guyu can make eyes clear and drive away bad luck.
