My name is Kate. I’m a policewoman. My job is to help people give up drugs (毒品). I work as a policewoman because of an unforgettable experience that happened in my teens.
On my 14th birthday, some close family members had a party for me in a park. I received many gifts. My aunt gave me 100 yuan. I was excited and kept on thinking about how I should spend the money. Just after everyone sang Happy Birthday to me, ①突然，我看到一个小男孩正坐在树下哭泣。I wondered why he was sad and went to him with a piece of cake. “What’s the matter?” The boy looked up but said nothing. I passed him the cake and tried to talk with him. Several minutes later, I knew about his story. His parents both died of drugs a month ago, so he had to live with his uncle and missed his parents so much. He always felt sad and afraid. He didn’t know what he could do. What a poor boy! How terrible the drug was! I gave my money to the boy and told him to face the life bravely. ②From then on, I made up my mind to do something against drugs. Please value your life, and stay away from drugs!

①Chemistry is everywhere in our daily life. Sometimes it's easy to see. At other times, it can be very hard to see the everyday chemistry at work, but nearly everything you touch has some chemicals (化学物质) in it.
②Chemistry helps to make products for use. Something as simple as toothpaste has at least three chemicals that keep your teeth clean. Other things in your daily life are created by chemistry, such as hair products and soap. Without chemistry, we would never have known that we need soap to get the oil out of clothes.
③Chemistry also helps us understand the world around us. Thanks to chemistry, we know bleach (漂白剂) can't be mixed with vinegar (醋), because the mixture can produce harmful gas.
④Chemistry plays a big role in food preparation. Cooking food causes it to go through a chemical change. That is the reason why cooked food often tastes different from uncooked food. Too much or too little of any chemical material makes a difference to the result of baking (烘焙). For example, the cake can be too soft or too hard.
⑤Chemistry isn't something that just lives in a laboratory; it's something that you meet hundreds of times in life. Knowing how chemistry works will give you a greater understanding of the life.

Hanfu hasn't been in the same style since Han dynasty. However, this kind of clothes has something in common. They all have large soft robes (袍子), with sleeves that hang down to the knees, so the hands can't be seen.

By the Youth
When we were scared, sad and helpless, you gave us courage, warmth and hopes.
When we had to stay at home to keep away from the illness, you, workers, helped us buy living things; Leaving your children behind, you worked in the neighborhood every day, you never complained but smiled the whole day.
When we needed all kinds of materials, you, drivers, drove them there without thinking twice; Running on the streets, between the cities, you made sure things went well as usual. | When we had coughs or fevers, you, ▲, tried your best to save our lives; Looking after the patients in the hospital day and night, you never gave up until the sick got well.
There are many people doing jobs in silence; There are many people giving hands without telling their names. Thanks for your hard work and selflessness. You're the heroes of the times. You're the most beautiful in our hearts. We love you!
