    Celebrities(名人)are everywhere nowadays - on TV, in magazines or online. Many teenagers have their favorite celebrities. Studies show that there are three kinds of fans.

    About 15% of young people love talking about their favorite celebrities with friends and this does not seem to hurt anyone. Another 5% see celebrities as their dream and find that they are often thinking about them, even when they don't want to. These people are more at risk of feeling upset and worried. That leaves 2% of young people who would spend several thousand dollars on something the celebrities had used. These people are in most danger of being seriously hurt.

    What about the celebrities themselves? Researchers did researches on 200 celebrities. They were all narcissistic(自恋的). The most narcissistic were the ones who had become famous through reality TV shows. Then came actors, and the least narcissistic were musicians.

    So, what can we learn from this? People who are very successful or famous can be very narcissistic and hard﹣working at the same time. We should pay attention to the bad(影响)they have on fans.

    Being a twin isn't as fun as it looks. People always compare my sister Nidia and me. They also ask stupid questions like, "Who's the better one?" and "If you fall down, could she feel it?"

    In fact, being a twin can be strange. We look, speak and think the same. We finish each other's sentences. We speak at the same time, like we're one person. When people say "hi" to us, we say "hi "back at the same time. We both like to draw, we like the same TV shows, movies and food, and we share almost everything. We cry when we see the other crying. So it makes it harder for me tostand outas me.

    Being a twin is also great - we're the best friends. We know each other really well. Going through the same experiences brings us closer. We both wear glasses. We learn how to ride bikes together. We learn from each other. I feel lucky to have someone to share the same experiences with. We push each other to do better in school. I don't get jealous (嫉妒的)if I don't get grades as high as my sister, but it makes me try harder. To help each other do better, we often correct each other's homework.

    When we get older, I want us to live close enough to visit each other every day. I love being a twin because I know that as long as she lives, I'll never be alone and she'll always love me back.

    The Shaanxi Provincial Cultural Relic Exchange Center will send experts to repair a Terracotta Warrior(兵马俑)that had its thumb stolen by an American young man while it was on show at a Philadelphia museum.

    "The terracotta warrior is worth $4.5 million and considered apricelesspart of China's cultural(遗物). US departments should have made sure of the safety of the relics when they were shown to the public. More than 260 shows have been organized abroad in the past 40 years and such a situation has never happened before, "the provincial cultural relics department said.

    Wang Dongfeng, a cultural relics repair expert, said it takes at least three to five months to repair a terracotta warrior. According to the Stolen (Lost) Cultural Relics Information Publishing Platform of China, up to 60 percent of cases of thefts(失窃)have happened in museums and historical relics organizations. Most cases happened in the 1980s and 1990s. As safety technology developed in recent years, it has become more difficult to steal a cultural relic from a museum in China. But the prices of cultural relics have risen in recent years, which leads to more thefts.

    "China will continue to fight against and stop the trading of relics and organized thefts. Anyone who goes against it will be punished, "the head of the provincial cultural relics department said.

    Some Chinese social media users criticized (批评) the museum for failing to take care of the country's cultural relics. "The warriors in Xi'an are kept far away from the public. How come these valuable cultural relics are not shown inside glass cases in Philadelphia?" one Internet user wrote.

    The lessons (last) for six months. Then the children were tested on their abilities to discriminate (辨别)words based on ( different) in tone (声调)and so on. The test results showed that the children who had taken piano lessons performed better at discriminating between words, when compared the children taking extra reading lessons. But both groups did (well) than the third group.

    The researchers think that the musical education helped these children perform better in language(test),even better than the kids taking extra reading lessons.
