I’m more than happy to hear you. You told me you were having trouble learn Chinese and wanted some advices from me.
Firstly, why not to learn to sing Chinese songs? It’s a good way to learn Chinese and can make you feel relaxing. Secondly, you can make some Chinese friends. Although you get along well with it, they will help you to learn Chinese. Beside, it will be helpful if you watched some Chinese TV programmes and read some Chinese novels. Finally, joining a club is also the good way to learn Chinese. In this way, you will get more chances to practice Chinese.
I hope the suggestions will be useful.

Cold blesses us all
It's November, the time of year when people often get blessed more. This is not because God likes cold weather, nor because others are fee ling generous with Thanksgiving just around the corner. 1.
Colds and the flu are the most common illnesses people get in autumn and winter as the weather gets colder. They are all caused by viruses, but colds are generally milder—you'll feel annoyed but not as if you want to die.
Teenagers catch average six to ten colds a year, according to statistics from the M inistry of Health, while adults average two to four. More than 200 viruses cause cold symptoms. 2. You can be contagious（传染的）one day before symptoms develop and for up to five days after becoming sick.
The signature symptom of a cold is a runny nose. The flu will make you burn with fever, ache all over, feel extremely tired and cough intensely. The flu can sometimes lead to more serious diseases, such as pneumonia.
3. A doctor can test you to see whether you have the flu in the first few days of the illness. But some treatments for both are pretty much the same:
● 4. Many doctors consider water a weapon against the common cold. It helps your blood drive off viruses and flood them out.
● Keep warm. You might be cold one minute and hot the next, and wearing several layers is very important.
● Wash your hands frequently. You don't want to make it worse by spreading the flu to everyone else. Also, avoid sharing cups and eating utensil s(餐具) with other people.
5. But if your flu symptoms get worse, go to a hospital or clinic right away.
A. You can pass on the flu before you even know you have it.
B. Drink lots of water.
C. Taking medicine on time is a good way to prevent the illness.
D. "Bless you!" is a common response to sneezes, the symptom of catching a cold or the flu.
E. Get lots of sleep and take it easy.
F. Sometimes, it's hard to tell a cold from the flu based on symptoms alone.
G. Most people who catch the flu get better without having to see their doctor.
Although being famous might sound like a dream come true, today’s star, feeling like zoo animals, face pressures that few of us can imagine. They are at the center of much of the world’s attention. Paparazzi camp outside their homes, cameras ready. Tabloids (小报) publish thrilling stories about their personal lives. Just imagine not being able to do anything without being photographed or interrupted for a signature.
According to psychologist Christina Villarreal, celebrities—famous people—worry constantly about their public appearance. Eventually, they start to lose track of who they really are, seeing themselves the way their fans imagine them, not as the people they were before everyone knew their names. “Over time,” Villarreal says, “they feel separated and alone.”
The phenomenon of tracking celebrities has been around for ages. In the 4th century B.C., painters followed Alexander the Great into battle, hoping to picture his victories for his admirers. When Charles Dickens visited America in the 19th century, his sold-out readings attracted thousands of fans, leading him to complain about his lack of privacy. Tabloids of the 1920s and 1930s ran articles about film-stars in much the same way that modern tabloids and websites do.
Being a public figure today, however, is a lot more difficult than it used to be. Superstars cannot move about without worrying about photographers with modern cameras. When they say something silly or do something ridiculous, there is always the Internet to spread the news in minutes and keep their “story” alive forever.
If fame is so troublesome, why aren’t all celebrities running away from it? The answer is there are still ways to deal with it. Some stars stay calm by surrounding themselves with trusted friends and family or by escaping to remote places away from big cities. They focus not on how famous they are but on what they love to do or whatever made them famous in the first place.
Sometimes a few celebrities can get a little justice. Still, even stars who enjoy full justice often complain about how hard their lives are. They are tired of being famous already.
1.
A. are often misunderstood by the public
B. can no longer have their privacy protected
C. spend too much on their public appearance
D. care little about how they have come into fame
2.
A. Great heroes of the past were generally admired.
B. The problem faced by celebrities has a long history.
C. Well-known actors are usually targets of tabloids.
D. Works of popular writers often have a lot of readers.
3.
A. Availability of modern media.
B. Inadequate social recognition.
C. Lack of favorable chances.
D. Huge population of fans.
4.
A. Sincere. B. Skeptical. C. Disapproving. D. Sympathetic.
