    It is the day of Big Bang's concert in Seoul Olympic Park Gymnastics Stadium. In front of the stadium, there are lots of rice towers from over 60 countries. The staff members(工作人员) are putting ribbons(丝带), photos and messages from fans(迷) around the rice towers to make them more beautiful. What's happening at the concert?

    Fan rice, usually in bags, is rice from fans. Fans of Korean pop (K-pop) stars give bags of rice to their favorite artists. Then, the artists donate(捐赠) the bags to the hungry. This started in 2011. Before that, fans usually sent food or flowers to their favorite stars. Now, more and more fan clubs are making these donations. They do this to show their love andsupportfor their favorite stars.

    There are even businesses that buy and deliver(递送) bags of rice for fans. They buy rice from South Korean farmers. And then they make sure the rice is at places of the K-pop concerts. It is common that staff members in the business spend hours setting up towers with the bags of rice. A businessman who does this says that more and more fans are donating rice, and sales have grown very fast.

What do you think of “double reduction”? Our readers from Teens have different ideas. Here are four of them.

Shen Yuzhe, 13, Beijing	The “double reduction” really helps me. Our homework is less than before. I can finish it at school . I'm also happy to find that there are fewer exams.
Zhang Hangming, 13, Tianjin	The best thing about the “double reduction” is that we have more time to do after-school activities* such as dancing, volleyball and cooking. I can also learn a lot of things.
Yu Zhiyue, 14, Jiangsu	With the “double reduction”, I have really got less homework to do. But I need to take an online class on the computer at home after I come back from school. I often feel tired. But I can still have happy weekends.

Students' views on tipping(付小费) in China

    In my opinion, tips should be given in China. Waiters work hard to serve each person. In return, people can give them tips to show their thanks. For waiters, tips not only mean more money, but also encourage them to work harder and do better.

    I don't think it's a good idea to tip in China, for there's no standard (标准) for tipping. Not every guest is rich and rich people may tip more. So waiters might choose to serve rich guests instead of poor ones.

    Chinese people don't need to give tips to waiters. In western countries, people give tips in many cases (情况). However, it can't work in China. I think Chinese people are not used to paying an extra bill(额外的账单) for services.

    In Western countries, it is really common to pay tips. It's just a tradition there. They have theirs and we have ours. And we have our own ways to live. It is not wise to follow foreigners in every way.

Students' views on tipping in China
Pros(赞成)	Cons(反对)
People can pay waiters tips to show thanks. Tips also waiters to offer better service.	There's no for tipping. Chinese people aren't used to paying an extra for services. We Chinese have our own culture. It's stupid to follow this foreign .

    Do you often help the people who are in need?

    One day, two boys were walking along the road to school when they saw an old woman carrying a large basket of pears. The old woman looked very tired. They went up and said, "Are you going to town? If you are, we'll help you carry your basket."

    "Thank you," said the woman, "That's very kind of you." Then she told them that she was going to the market to sell the pears. So the boys decided to lift the basket together. They walked slowly with the heavy basket, but they were happy.

The other day, I saw a little girl pick up a piece of banana peel(香蕉皮). She threwitinto the dustbin(垃圾箱). "I hope nobody would throw that on the street," she said, "Someone may slip and fall."

    Perhaps some people may say that these are not great things. That's right. But almost all great things are made up of (由…组成) such small things. We shouldn't wait for the time to do great things. We should begin with these things that are full of love.
