Captain James Cook was a great explorer. Before he started exploring, maps of the Pacific Ocean were almost empty. He visited hundreds of islands across the Pacific Ocean and put them in the correct places on the map. He made maps of the coastlines of Australia and New Zealand. James Cook was born in England in 1728. His parents were poor farm workers. When James was 18, he found a job on a coastal ship. He worked on the ship until he was 27 years old, and then he joined the navy. He fought in Canada in a war against France, and he mapped some of the eastern coasts of Canada. In 1768, King George made him Captain(船長(zhǎng)) of a ship and sent him to the Pacific. He was gone for nearly three years. When he returned, he was regarded as a national hero.

He started his third journey in 1776. On this trip he visited Hawaii. He was the first European to set foot on this beautiful island. Then he mapped the western coast of North America. After that he returned to Hawaii. Unluckily, there was some trouble between the Hawaiians and the white men and they started fighting. In the end, Captain was killed in a fight against the local.

Do you ever get to the bottom of the page and realize you’ve got too little time or too little interest to spend another minute on the book? It happens to everybody sometimes. Luckily, there are many things you can do to make the reading a lot easier and faster. For example, if you read a paragraph, consider skimming over the whole story to get the main idea and the main characters, so you’ll know what to pay attention to as you read more closely. Reading about the book on the Internet can be a good way to get a good conclusion of the reading to help you get through it more easily. Just don’t forget to go back and read through more closely.

While reading, don’t forget to look up any words or ideas you aren’t sure about. You can use context (上下文) clues to help you understand things you think difficult, but it’s always a good idea to take a minute to learn any reference (參考書). It’ll make the reading much easier.

More importantly, be sure to learn to take notes while you are reading. You can write questions in the margin (頁(yè)邊空白), and underline things which you think are interesting and important ideas. If you’re reading something difficult and find yourself often wanting to go back to get something you missed, then, at the end of each page, or even at the end of each paragraph, write something about what happened on that page. If you find something that needs answering, always write it down. This might give you a good question to ask later in class, or give you something to think more about as you continue reading. What’s more, when you finish reading, start writing down what seems important, what you think the purpose of the writing is, and how it makes you feel as a reader.

After you finish reading, get together with your friends or classmates and discuss the reading. Try to know how your classmates understand the reading and compare it with your own. Try not to talk about whether or not it is “boring”, but pay attention to how well your classmates explain what you might have found difficult. Think of open questions to explore the reading, and don’t ask questions that can be answered with a “yes” or a “no”. Learning to ask “how” is a helpful way of coming up with big discussion questions.

“I love you” might be one of the most important combinations of three words in the English language. It’s the that a romantic relationship is serious. Besides, it also shows the closeness for parents, children or the ones who you love.

In Putonghua, “I love you” as “Wo ai ni”, but the way it’s used in China might be a little different, and most Chinese people are wondering .

The Global Times reports that some online videos showing children telling their parents “I love you” have become in China. One of them, filmed by an Anhui TV station, shows a number of college students telling their parents they love them. “Are you drunk?” asked a parent. In another video, shot by a Shanxi TV station, the parents’ responses (反應(yīng)) are still mixed. For example, a father responded bluntly (率直地) — “I am going to a meeting, so much for that.”

Why don’t Chinese families use those words? “The parents’ responses show that many Chinese are not good at their feelings like that,” Xia Xueluan, a sociologist from Peking University, told the Global Times, “They are used to educating children with negative (否定的) language.”

Still, that doesn’t that love can’t be shown. In another article, Zhao Mengmeng, a 31-year-old woman, said she had never told her father she loved him face-to-face she found it a bit strange. Sometimes actions speak louder than words. However, Zhao gave her father a photo album recording photographs of them together on every one of her birthdays. The pictures were on the Internet later, being forwarded (轉(zhuǎn)發(fā)) hundreds of thousands of times on Weibo.
