He loved racing against a classmate to solve a math problem. Eddie won and lost. But his friend Michael never lost. He was the champion (冠军) of Around the World. Every week he would go around the classroom winning against everyone. “Are we all ready?” Mrs. Stretch asked. Everyone nodded. “Then let’s begin” said Mrs. Stretch. “Talia, you start.” Talia was new to the class. This would be her first time to play. She jumped up and went over to Eddie’s desk. Eddie stood up, too. “Twelve times two,” said Mrs. Stretch. “Twenty-four!” Talia called out, a second before Eddie could. Eddie sat down, disappointed but still happy to know the right answer. Talia moved on to challenge the next classmate. She seemed unstoppable. Finally, Talia got to Michael. “Let’s do multiplication (乘法). Eight times twelve,” Mrs. Stretch said. “Ninety-six!” shouted Talia first. The class sat shocked, and then everyone cheered for Talia, today’s champion. “Nice job, Talia,” said Mrs. Stretch. “It’s time for lunch, everyone. Now line up, please.” Eddie stood to go to lunch.

Eddie walked to Michael and put his hand on his shoulder. “It’s OK to lose,” Eddie said. “I lose Around the World all the time. You’re still great at multiplication.” “That’s not why I’m upset,” Michael said into his arms. “No one likes me. They cheered when I lost.” “You think they cheered against you?” Eddie asked. “______” Michael said. “I think they cheered because they were too surprised,” Eddie said. “You’re always the champion. Talia had to do her best to beat you. So, people were excited about it.” “She is really good at math,” Michael agreed. “And so are you,” said Eddie. “You help us all work harder. Because of you, we probably have the best math class in the whole school.” “Thanks,” Michael said. He smiled at Eddie, “Do you want to sit together at lunch?” “Sure,” said Eddie. “You can quiz me on math problems and help me get better.” Michael stood up. “Challenge accepted!” 26.

But actually, both groups have a lot to learn from each other. James Smith runs the Smith’s Care Home in my city. It is mainly an organization (机构) for serving the elderly. But not all of its visitors are old people. The home also includes a childcare center for pre-school kids. There is a playground in the care home, where the elderly can play with the kids. In this way, they can learn more about each other, and respect and understand one another. I suppose this is quite an interesting idea. For one thing, we live in a world where there are more and more old people. The world is facing this problem and its population ages. It will be important for young people to be able to understand and care for the elderly in the coming years. Regretfully, my own grandparents passed away when I was little. I never got to learn what the world was like through their eyes, or what kinds of problems they might have faced when they were my age. To me, their lives will be hard to understand or explain. However, I think I can still learn from other people of older generations (长辈). I might find some of their ideas out of date, and they might believe that my generation’s way of thinking is strange or incorrect. But we can still learn from each other anyway. 46.

B What can you make with pieces of paper? Look at Chen Yiyan’s work! The boy in Hangzhou Foreign Language School has an amazing talent for paper-folding. He has folded a “fantasy world” with his hands. Chen wasn’t born with this talent. When he was a fourth grader, he found his brother’s paper-folding book. It got him interested in it. Following the 50 steps shown in the book, he made his first work—a paper elephant within two hours. Since then, he has read many books about paper-folding and practiced folding paper in his spare time. So far, his “fantasy world” has many members, such as monsters and robots. He made his favorite work last year. It was a paper dragon that had almost 2,000 steps. Chen used to fold paper himself until he met Li Changnan, an eighth grader in his school who also loved folding paper. They set up a paper-folding club last year. To their joy, their school sponsored it. With the encouragement and the money provided, they had a paper-folding class every Wednesday afternoon. The club soon attracted some students. Now it has more than 20 members. They showed their works and taught other students how to fold paper. On February 14th this year, the club also held a speech for the kids in Wenzhou Children’s Library. “It is really exciting to develop my hobby and share it with others at the same time,” said Chen. “I hope more and more people get to know paper-folding and love the art.” 21.

Around the World was Eddie’s favorite classroom game. He loved racing against a classmate to solve a math problem. Eddie won and lost. But his friend Michael never lost. He was the champion (冠军) of Around the World. Every week he would go around the classroom winning against everyone. “Are we all ready?” Mrs. Stretch asked. Everyone nodded. “Then let’s begin,” said Mrs. Stretch. “Talia, you start.” Talia was new to the class. This would be her first time to play. She jumped up and went over to Eddie’s desk. Eddie stood up, too. “Twelve times two,” said Mrs. Stretch. “Twenty-four!” Talia called out, a second before Eddie could. Eddie sat down, disappointed but still happy to know the right answer. Talia moved on to challenge the next classmate. She seemed unstoppable. Finally, Talia got to Michael. “Let’s do multiplication (乘法). Eight times twelve,” Mrs. Stretch said. “Ninety-six!” shouted Talia first. The class sat shocked, and then everyone cheered for Talia, today’s champion. “Nice job, Talia,” said Mrs. Stretch. “It’s time for lunch, everyone. Now line up, please.” Eddie stood to go to lunch. He noticed Michael had his head down on his desk, his face buried in his arms. Eddie walked to Michael and put his hand on his shoulder. “It’s OK to lose,” Eddie said. “I lose Around the World all the time. You’re still great at multiplication.” “That’s not why I’m upset,” Michael said into his arms. “No one likes me. They cheered when I lost.” “You think they cheered against you?” Eddie asked. “______” Michael said. “I think they cheered because they were too surprised” Eddie said. “You’re always the champion. Talia had to do her best to beat you. So, people were excited about it.” “She is really good at math,” Michael agreed. “And so are you,” said Eddie. “You help us all work harder. Because of you, we probably have the best math class in the whole school.” “Thanks,” Michael said. He smiled at Eddie, “Do you want to sit together at lunch?” “Sure,” said Eddie. “You can quiz me on math problems and help me get better.” Michael stood up. “Challenge accepted!” 26.

But actually, both groups have a lot to learn from each other. James Smith runs the Smith’s Care Home in my city. It is mainly an organization (机构) for serving the elderly. But not all of its visitors are old people. The home also includes a childcare center for pre-school kids. There is a playground in the care home, where the elderly can play with the kids. In this way, they can learn more about each other, and respect and understand one another. I suppose this is quite an interesting idea. For one thing, we live in a world where there are more and more old people. The world is facing this problem and its population ages. It will be important for young people to be able to understand and care for the elderly in the coming years. Regretfully, my own grandparents passed away when I was little. I never got to learn what the world was like through their eyes, or what kinds of problems they might have faced when they were my age. To me, their lives will be hard to understand or explain. However, I think I can still learn from other people of older generations (长辈). I might find some of their ideas out of date, and they might believe that my generation’s way of thinking is strange or incorrect. But we can still learn from each other anyway. 46.
