Besides singing, Li also teaches viewers(观众) something about Peking Opera. People can ask him questions and get answers directly. “Livestreaming has brought this traditional art down to earth.”One viewer said,“it gives young people an easier way to learn more about the traditional art.”Li has more than 6,000 fans on Douyin,while one of his videos got 42,000 views on Bilibili. On March 26th, 2020, Bilibili livestreamed a huafu show on the third China Huafu Day Performers showed clothes in traditional Chinese styles, including those from Wei, Tang and Ming dynasties.

At the height of 8,000 meters, there is only 30% O₂ and the human body can only stand this height for a few days, so it is dangerous for humans to climb higher. But many climbers want to challenge themselves. As Alan Arnette, a mountain climber from America, said“Climbing mountain s drives you to look deep inside yourself, and lets you find out whether you are strong enough in mind when you want to stop.” It's a good thing that Qomolangma gives people a chance(机会) to become strong-willed (意志坚强的) when they are trying to achieve their dreams. However, Qomolangma is in danger these years because many people leave their waste behind, such as water bottles and plastic (塑料的) bags. They cause the environmental pollution for Qomolangma. Many animals would die after eating the plastic bags. Luckily, many volunteers from all over the world came to Qomolangma to join in the clean-up activity. A volunteer advised,“Mountain climbing lovers should always take good care of themselves,and at the same time, take good care of Qomolangma.” 70.

By Apr.10, it had made over 3.46 billion yuan at the box office. Directed (执导) by Jia Ling, the movie tells the story of a woman tired of the world, finding herself and learning to love life through boxing(举击). The name YOLO is short for the movie's main idea ——you only live once. Jia didn't study directing at university. And she believes this is both a good and bad thing. It makes her feel freer in film making because she doesn't need to follow a fixed style (风格). Before making YOLO, Jia was often seen as an overweight comedian(喜剧演员). She often made jokes about herself to make people laugh. For this movie, Jia lost 50 kg and looked very different.Some people online said even her voice became softer, and they call this a“rebirth”for Jia. In Jia's eyes, her change in look is her way of staying true to herself.“It's hard to predict(预言) one's life. I'm just following my heart but not looking for changes on purpose(故意地). Movies are now the best way to show myself, so I put all my energy(精力) into them,”Jia told Xinhua. “Jia didn’t change at all. She’s just being more herself,”said talk show host Chen Luyu in her program A Date With Luyu(《鲁豫有约》). 73. What does the name YOLO mean? (不超过10个词) 74.

It can not only make our after-school life more meaningful and colorful, but also open up our eyes and minds. By reading more, we will grow into a better person. However, some students spend much time on short videos or computer games. It takes most of their free time. It is a pity that there are fewer and fewer students who are interested in reading.So, I would like to suggest that everyone should read more books, especially read classics so that we can spread our Chinese traditional culture to the world. Let's start reading now, and let it become part of our life! 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$
