Are you a fan of films? As we all know, for some films, you need 3D glasses to see them.I think it is easy to make your own 3D glasses instead of buying them.Let's have a try.

There are two ways to make 3D glasses. You can decide which way would be easier for you. The first way seems like the cheaper way but the things needed to make the glasses this way may not be things laying around the house. First print out a template(模板) for the glasses at http // paper project. org/ PDF files/3 dglasses. pdf. After you cut out the template, cut your cellophane (玻璃纸) to fit the holes in the glasses. Make sure you place the red cellophane on the left eye and the blue on the right. You can either stick or tape the cellophane inplace. You are now ready to use your glasses.

Another way you can make 3D glasses is to find an old pair of sunglasses. Take out the lenses(镜片). Get a piece of clear plastic and place the lenses on it, draw a line around the lens and then cut the new plastic lens out. Place the lens back into the sunglasses frame (框). Color the left lens red with a marker and the right eye blue. You now are ready to watch 3D films.

C. 3DGLASSESCAN BE MADE ON YOUR OWN D. THE BEST 3D FILMS

When my family moved to America in 2010 from a small village in Guangdong, China, we brought not only our luggage, but also our village rules, customs and culture. One of the rules is that young people should always respect(尊敬) elders. Unluckily, this rule led to my very first embarrassment in the United States.

I had a part-time job as a waiter in a Chinese restaurant. One time, when I was serving food to a middle-aged couple, the wife asked me how the food could be served so quickly. I told her that I had made sure they got their food quickly because I always respect the elderly. As soon as I said that, her face showed great displeasure. My manager, who happened to hear what I said, took me aside and gave me a long lecture about how sensitive(敏感) Americans are and how they dislike the description(描述) “old”. I then walked back to the table and apologized（道歉）to the wife. After the couple heard my reason, they understood that the problem was caused by cultural differences, so they laughed and were no longer angry.

In my village in China, people are proud of being old. Not so many people live to be seventy or eighty, and people who reach such an age have the most knowledge and experience. Young people always respect older people because they know they can learn from their rich experience.

However, in the United States, people think “growing old” is a problem since “old” shows that a person is going to retire or that the body is not working well. Here many people try to keep themselves away from growing old by doing exercises or jogging, and women put on makeup, hoping to look young. When I told the couple in the restaurant that I respect the elderly, they got angry because this caused them to feel they had failed to stay young. I had told them something they didn’t want to hear.

After that, I changed the way I had been with older people. It is not that I don’t respect them any more; I still respect them, but now I don’t show my feelings through words.

SEPT 10 is day for us to say thank you to teachers.But next year we might do it on another day.

A draft amendment(修正案草案）on education laws proposes(提议）头move Teachers’ Day to Sept28, which is believed to be the birthday of Confucius(孔子）（551-479BC）.

The Chinese mainland started to celebrate Teachers’ Day in 1985. There was no special reason why Sept10 was chosen.

But many people think it is not a good choice.

Teachers are always too busy on Sept10, because the new term starts at the beginning of the month. If the day is at the end of September, it will be near the National Day and teachers can enjoy the two holidays together.

Besides, people think Teachers’ Day should fall on a day with special historical and culture meaning. That’s why Sept28 is a good choice.

Confucius is an important educationalist philosopher in Chinese history. His ideas help shape our values. He tells us to love our family and respect the elderly.

Moe importantly, Confucius started China’s private education system. Chinese people regard him as “the best teacher in ancient times” and a “ model teacher for generations”.

In an online survey on sina.com, 65 percent of the people supported the change of Sept10,but about 31 percent were against it. They believed it is nothing but formalism.

24 Solar Terms: Tips you may not know about Cold Dew

关于寒露，你可能不知道的小知识

The traditional Chinese lunar calendar divides the year into 24 solar terms. Cold Dew, (Chinese: , the 17th solar term of the year, begins this year on Oct 8 and ends on Oct 23.

At this time, temperatures are much lower than in White Dew in most areas of China. The dew is greater and colder and there will be less rain. Autumn crops will be ripe.

Here are eight things you should know about Cold Dew.

Foggy autumn

Temperatures drop significantly in October. When the cold air encounters autumn rain, the abundant water vapor in the air soon reaches saturation, and then it turns into misty rain or fog. When the humidity is high, there will be foggy regions formed in many areas of China.

Season for fishing

People always say that fishing in shallow water in autumn does make sense. That’s because during the Cold Dew period, temperatures decrease quickly and sunshine cannot reach the deep water thoroughly. Fish all swim to shallow water areas where the water temperature is relatively high.

Season for eating pomegranates

Pomegranates are ripe during Cold Dew. Pomegranates have been cherished for their exquisite beauty, flavor, color, and health benefits for centuries.

Season for drinking chrysanthemum wine

Chrysanthemum is the iconic flower of Cold Dew. To prevent autumn dryness, many regions in China have the custom of drinking chrysanthemum wine. This is a tradition of the Double Ninth Festival (on the ninth day of the ninth month in the Chinese calendar), which often falls around Cold Dew. According to ancient records, drinking the wine made with chrysanthemums, poria cocos and pine oleoresin grants people long lasting youth.

Season for eating hawthorns

There is a saying that goes "It is time to harvest hawthorn during Cold Dew." Extracts of the berries have long been used in herbal medicine. The antioxidants in hawthorn are thought to boost heart health by strengthening blood vessels and stimulating blood flow.

A great time for hiking

During Cold Dew, North China takes on a look of late autumn with white clouds, red leaves and early frost. On the day of the Double Ninth Festival, people often climb hills with cornels, a kind of plant. This custom aims to dispel evils, and originated in the Eastern Han Dynasty (AD25-220).

Season for making kippers

People of the Dong ethnic group in western Hunan province have the custom of making kippers during Cold Dew. It is said that the kipper made on the day of the Cold Dew with accessory foods such as rice wine, salt, glutinous rice, pepper powder, paprika powder and ginger are especially delicious.

Season for picking camellia seeds

Southern Hunan province is a famous area for producing tea seed oil. People are not allowed to go to the mountains to pick the seeds until Cold Dew comes around.
