    Last year I was lucky to have a week's holiday, so I wanted to spend1in the best hotel I could find. That was2I choseThe Haven in a country park. I thought I would be able to escape problems and pressures of daily life. But, just 24 hours after arriving there, my wife and I3problems with the restaurant and security.

   We were ready to return to our room when we saw two policemen4closely at the building outside. One of them showed us how5in through the windows into our room. It seems that the hotel has no locks on the windows.6we were a little worried, our concerns were forgotten7When we saw a good-sized bed, a flat-screen, TV, a spa-bath which more suggested a comfortable stay.

   Things started to go from bad to worse the following morning when I found the restaurant only served low-fat meals: six days of rabbit food and only8meat and fruit. What had I let myself in for? Nobody had told us what the food9like before we booked. I ordered my breakfast10my will anyway, but I had waited forty-five minutes for it to arrive. This was not the service11I had expected.

   That afternoon, when we returned from a tour around12university nearby, we found that nearly £ 20013from our room.The Haven refused to pay back the money. They claimed that they14not be responsible for any loss if our window was not locked.

   My holiday was then a total failure. I thought a "haven" was sure to be a quiet and peaceful place. But in fact, I have experienced15stress and worry in that one day than I usually do working in the office for a week.

    One day, a bird cameand nested in the tree. The songs of the bird filled the hippo with so much envy(羡慕) that he couldn't think of anything else. Every day he would thinkwhy he wasn't born to be a bird even though the bird told him many times he wasso lucky to be so big and such a good swimmer.

    Finally, the hippo made up his mind that he would come out of the river, climbthe tree, and start singing. However, when he tried to climbthe tree, it was very clear that the hippo didn't have wings, nor claws to climbwith.

    Realizing that hewould never climb up the tree, he angrily hit the tree until it came crashing onthe ground. Then he stepped onto the leaves of the fallen tree, and began singing.

    Unfortunately, hipposcan't sing, either. All that came from his mouth were terrible noises, and whenthe other animals heard this, they all came around to make fun of the hippo.

    He was so ashamedby this. He also felt bad about having knocked the tree over. He used all his strengthto raise the tree back up again, and look after it until it completely recovered.

    China's two sessions, a key event on the country's political calendar, began on May 21 after having been postponed for more than two months due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

    Apart from the delayed opening, this year's two sessions are "unusual" in many aspects, as China Daily noted.

    First and the most important, the world will "watch how China plans the course for a crucial year to build a moderately prosperous society (小康社会) in all respects and achieve its development goals, while effectively warding (防止) off coronavirus risks", reported Xinhua.

    In 2019, China achieved a GDP growth of 6.1 percent, meeting the target range of 6-6.5 percent. Analysts expect (分析人士预计) this year's target will continue to be a feasible (可行的) one, and with stronger boosting measures (更有力的促进措施下), China could achieve growth faster than that of all other major economies, Xinhua noted.

    In the two sessions, national lawmakers and political advisers will be discussing how to strive for (争取) good performances (业绩) in all areas of economic and social development while implementing regular epidemic prevention and control measures, according to Xinhua.

    Meanwhile, to ensure public health safety, some arrangements for the session have been adjusted (调整).

    According to Xinhua, the duration of the session has been shortened from two weeks to about one. There are fewer reporters covering (采访) the event, according to Global Times. Journalists who are overseas have not been invited to Beijing to report on the event this year. Meanwhile, news conferences (新闻发布会) and other interview activities are "appropriately streamlined and conducted in new forms (适当精简并以新形式进行), such as by video link," chairman of the National People's Congress Foreign Affairs Committee, Zhang Yesui, told Xinhua.

    Because of the need for continued COVID-19 control, on May 13, the State Council's executive meeting (国务院常务会议) called for adopting (采纳) new ways for taking in views and suggestions of national legislators and political advisers, including via video-link, phone calls and the internet.

    Technology is playing a key role in bringing the nation's top political advisory body (国家最高政治咨询机构) closer to the people.

    The website of the CPPCC (全国政协) National Committee started to seek opinions and suggestions from netizens on May 8. It is a move that aims to help the national political advisers learn more about the opinions of the public before they gather in Beijing.

   "The new platform has helped the public share their ideas with CPPCC members on China's major political, economic and social issues at the annual meeting," according to China Daily.

    It's no secret that many students do not like to stay in classrooms and study all day.: Quite a lot of them don't like outdoor PE classes either.

    "Our three PE classes every week are all run, run and run. It's for our High School Entrance Examination (中考)，said Li Liangjing, 15 , a junior 3 student from Xiamen.

    . Two months ago, the Shanghai University of Sport made a survey from over 110,000 students and worked out teenagers' physical index (指数). For junior high school students, their physical health score is 94.1, which is quite good. But this doesn't mean they are active in sports, because their awareness (意识) and willingness (意愿) to do physical exercises only scores at 74.8., reported the Paper News.

     Because of that, the Shanghai Education committee decided to put more importance on the general physical quotient (体商) of teenagers. This means that schools should pay attention to not only students' health and sports test scores, but also their knowledge, skills and willingness to do exercises.

    Thus, making PE classes more fun and growing students' interests in sports seems necessary, according to the deputy director (副主任) of the Shanghai Education Committee, Wang Ping. , such as throwing the handkerchief (手绢) and the eagle and the chickens. They also teach students different sports like tennis, swimming and martial art (武术).

    ", which can be good for all their lives," said Wang. And experts (专家) from the Shanghai University of Sport are planning to introduce the idea to more provinces.

A. We want to see sports become a lifestyle for teenagers B. In other words, many teenagers are forced to exercise C. Li is not the only one D. But there is another truth E. Over 80 schools in Shanghai have already included some games into PE classes
