The number of Chinese students who went to Britain for university education reached its peak in 2019. Since this autumn the British universities【1】(receive) almost 20, 000 applications from Chinese students.

There may be some reasons and one of them is the recent trade war between China and the US. So more and more Chinese students consider【2】( go) to the UK for their studies instead of America. As a famous University, the University of Manchester has the【3】(large) number of Chinese students in Europe.

But there are some challenges. Currently Chinese students just focus on【4】(limit) number of subjects, such as economics and business. Another challenge for Chinese students is their【5】(safe) because they are believed to be rich.

How【6】(encourage) understanding is also a problem. Students from both【7】(country) are interested in each other but they don't mix much.

The two groups socialize in【8】(complete) different ways. Chinese students like doing homework together, having a hotpot at home,【9】going shopping. British students enjoy drinking in pubs【10】music. Many Chinese students complain that they can't make many local friends because they just don't like pubs.

“His fierce competitiveness, work ethic and drive were unmatched,” Jeanie Buss, owner of the Los Angles Lakes, told ESPN. “Those qualities helped Bryant lead us to five titles — and have now brought him to the Hall of Fame. No one deserves it more.”

Indeed, it was Bryant’s unmatchable commitment and determination to be the best that elevated (提升地位) him above his peers. He called it the “mamba mentality” after the black mamba, one of the world’s deadliest snakes — and also after the top killer from the 2003 movie Kill Bill. The mamba mentality became so popular that Bryant even detailed his process in his book The Mamba Mentality: How I Play. In it, he revealed his famously detailed approach as well as his physical and mental preparation to not just succeed at the game, but to excel.

“Mamba mentality is all about focusing on the process and trusting in the hard work, which is just the competitive spirit.” he wrote in the book. “It started when someone described me like that one day, and it’s grown into something athletes – and even non-athletes – adopt as a mindset.”

Bryant took after one of the greatest basketball players, Michael Jordan, not only with regard to Jordan’s playing style, but his competitive nature. “I liked challenging people and making them uncomfortable,” Bryant once said, “That’s what leads to self-reflection and improvement. You could say I dared people to be their best selves.”

Though many were shocked and sad when the Los Angles great died in a helicopter crash in January, all signs point to Bryant’s legacy (遗产) for generations to come. Whether you’re a basketball player or not, you can’t deny the Kobe’s power to inspire you to be your best self.

After a super long staycation, I returned to school on May. Studying at home is not as efficient as at school. I have been feeling nervous about the school life and the intense stress from study. I think I am totally left behind. I should have worked hard, but sometimes I just can’t concentrate on what the teacher is saying in the class…

John

【2】 One of these is The Ocean Cleanup based in the Netherlands. It has successfully made a device that can gather and collect waste from our oceans and rivers, a majority of which is plastic. For us, plastic is an item we use and then throw away. But if you throw away a plastic bottle today, it is non-biodegradable (不可生物降解的).It will still be around for hundreds of years. Much of this plastic waste ends up in the sea, where it kills more than 100 million sea creatures every year. 【3】

It is not just our oceans that are under threat. Over time, deforestation (滥伐森林)，improper farming, and livestock grazing (放牧)can stop green areas from growing. 【4】 A Chinese non-governmental organizations (NGO) — The China Green Foundation — is working to change this by planting millions of trees. Another NGO that is making big changes is Welfare Togo. Togo is a developing country in Africa. It faces many environmental problems, including air and water pollution and desertification. To help, Welfare Togo opened 31 schools across the country that focus on teaching sustainable development. Its aim is using education to bring positive environmental changes to Togo.

A.This is called desertification.

B.It aims to support environmental protection around the world.

C.His idea was so successful that more than 20 million people joined in Earth Day events.

D.However, because of high demand, we still make more than 300 tons of new plastic every year.

E.It challenges people to promote environmental education.

F.Not all of us can make such large contributions.

G.Fortunately, many NGOs are stepping up to promote positive changes.

My class participated in the sports meeting on Nov. 7. It impressed me most was our team spirit. In the race, a boy student suddenly fall. Very quick, two students helped her up and ran together to the finish line. It was encouragement of the classmates that helped the boy stick to the end.

In my opinion, the event helps us understand the important of friendship. I can still remember four month ago, when we stepped into this school, we didn't knew each other. But now we are a bigger family. Even though we will face more challenges than before, but I believe we can overcome any difficulty as long as we are united.

The Chief District Officer of Kathmandu had received many complaints about horn pollution. He said that everyone felt the use of the car horn in recent years had become excessive. Researchers in Kathmandu found that for about 80 percent of the time, it really was not necessary for drivers to use their car horns. Sounding the horn to make a noise had become more of a habit. It was no longer being used as it was supposed to be used: to warn people of danger.

At the beginning of the Nepali New Year in 2017, the local government passed a law to ban the use of car horns unless used correctly.

Within six months, 11,000 fines(罚款) had been collected by the local traffic police. The e fine was about HK S360. A taxi driver in Kathmandu can make about HK S1, 000 per day, so he could lose about one-third of his money if he broke the law.

As usual, there were many complaints from drivers. They said that cows and dogs were free to walk on the roads. They always caused danger. Sounding a car horn was the only way to get them to move out of the way. And although there were quite a few traffic lights in the streets of Kathmandu, very few of them worked. This meant there was often a traffic mess.

The ban on using a car horn went ahead, and within a few weeks the streets of Nepal's capital were quieter-even though they were still just as busy. Because of the ban, drivers are a little more careful when they drive. Fewer accidents have been reported. The local government says the horn ban will now be copied in other areas of Nepal.

【2】What do the Researchers in Kathmandu found?
