When doing his math homework, Lu Lifei, 14, from Jiangsu, came across a problem. He couldn’t work it out. So he took out his cell phone, opened a special app and searched the problem. Answers soon appeared on the screen.
Nowadays, many students do homework with the help of the Internet like Lu. They search information online, use apps or discuss through social networks like QQ and WeChat.
“It’s convenient. You don’t have to wait or get a tutor（辅导，约束）on the spot,” Lu said. “You also learn by seeing how others work them out.”
It also improves students’ abilities, said Wang Shiying, 15, from Shanghai. And it’s especially true for new types of homework.
Wang’s Chinese teacher often asks students to give speeches on great writers. When it comes to Wang’s turn, she usually searches online, picks out certain stories and makes PowerPoint presentations.
“I’ve become adept(熟练的) at finding information online and using Microsoft Office.” Wang said.
However, this trend (趋势) also brings up problems. Some students just copy the answers online without thinking. They become lazy. Huang Pengxiang, a head teacher from Shanxi said that knowing how to use the Internet is important. The key is to have good self-control.
“No matter how difficult the problem is, think about it independently (独立地) first,” Huang said. “Be sure to understand the reasons behind the answers, or you won’t make progress. If you’re not confident about your self-control, ask your parents for help.”

Youth, friendship and love are the main themes of these years’ Chinese movies, such as So Young (《致青春》) and American Dreams in China (《中国合伙人》). Tiny Times (《小时代》), one of the most popular movies in 2013, also has the same features.
The movie was based on writer and director Guo Jingming’s novel of the same name. It tells a story about four girls who come from different backgrounds and of different personalities.
Since its release on June 27, Tiny Times has made 483 million yuan at the box office. The sequel (续集) of it was released on Aug 8 and it has also been a big box office hit.
Cao Yuhan, 13, a high school student at Beijing Jianhua Experimental School, is a big fan of the movie. “I’m deeply touched by their friendship,” Cao said. “When Nan Xiang is in trouble, the other three girls try their best to help her, even running barefoot in the snow.”
However, not everyone has had good things to say. The People’s Daily said that the film went too far in encouraging youths to become materialistic (物质至上主义的).
Film commentator Raymond Zhou wrote on his online blog that “Purchasing luxury goods (买奢侈品) seems as a way to express love or friendship, and the word ‘money’ is repeated over and over again.”
Song Kexin, 14, a high school student at Zhida Middle School in Taiyuan, Shanxi, shows a typical example of a fan’s attitude. And that’s to look for the positive value. “The movie is a little far from our daily life. My friends and I are not having parties every day,” Song said. “But I admire Tang Wanru’s optimistic attitude(乐观主义态度). She’s always looking at the bright side of life. I should learn from her.”

There was once a spider(蜘蛛) that lived in a cornfield (玉米田). She liked this home and planned to stay there for the rest of her life.
One day, the spider caught a little bug in her web. Just as the spider was about to eat him, the bug said: “If you let me go, I will tell you something important that can save your life.”
The spider thought for a little while and listened. “You’d better get out of this cornfield,” the little bug said. “The harvest is coming!”
“I think you are just telling me a story,” the spider said with a smile.
“Oh no, it is true,” the little bug said. “All the stalks (茎杆) will be knocked down, and the corn will be gathered up. You will be killed by the giant machines if you stay here.”
“I don’t believe you,” the spider said as she ate the little bug for lunch.
A few days later, the spider was laughing about the story the little bug had told her. She thought to herself: “A harvest! What a silly idea. I have lived here all of my life, and nothing has ever disturbed (打扰) me.”
