What’s your dream job How much do you know about it A group of students from Tianjin found a very common problem among young teenagers: Most of them have little idea about their career plans as there is too little help from school or family.
To offer teenagers helpful advice on career, the students from Tianjin TEDA NO. 1 Middle School started a project called “Dian Zhi Cheng Shi (点职成诗)”. “Our survey shows that 72% of students want to know more about different jobs. Doctors, accountants and lawyers are the top three,” said Wang Xinran, 16, the project leader.
According to students’ needs, the team interviewed 32 excellent workers with different jobs and put their interviews on the Internet. These workers shared true stories behind each job, allowing students to learn about the jobs further.
“We also invited the workers to give speeches in our school. In this way, students could have a chance to talk to them face to face,” said Wang.
Team member Lu Jinyan said his most impressive interview was with a photographer. “I used to think being a photographer was cool and romantic (浪漫的). But now I realize that they need to deal with lots of problems, such as a sudden change of weather or broken cameras. They also need to communicate with different people. I his us not easy.”
But the project doesn’t mean to disappoint (使失望) students by telling them the truth. “We want to show the workers’ love and spirit of never giving up instead of the bad sides,” said group member Zhao Yajie. “The project’s name means to turn a career into a poem. We believe working is not just about bread and butter. It should be like a poem, full of love and beauty. And we hope our project can let students know that.”

China and India are leaders in improving global tree cover, a new study based on NASA research showed.
They took a 31.8 percent part together of the total global new leaf area between 2000 and 2017. China played a major role, adding 25 percent to this increase, and India added 6.8 percent, followed by Canada and Russia.
The study in the Nature Sustainability journal shows that more than 5.5 million square kilometers of green leaf area was added globally. Since 2000, there has been a 5 percent increase in global green cover, it said.
“The greening over the last twenty years shows an increase in leaf area on plants and trees which is as large as the area of the entire Amazon rainforest,” Chi Chen, a Boston University researcher and leader of the study told Nature Sustainability. Large plantation activities to protect forests in China contributed nearly 42 percent to the country’s green cover, and agriculture (农业) added another 32 percent. In India, 82 percent of the increase in leaf area was because of agriculture.
“China and India take up one-third of the greening, but hold only nine percent of the planet’s land area covered in green plants,” Chi Chen told NASA Earth Observatory. “That isa surprising finding, considering the land degradation (退化) in countries with large populations.”
Boston University’s research team first detected an increase in global green cover in the 1990s but were unsure what contributed (贡献) to the increase. Finally, with the help of NASA’s Terra and Aqua satellites research, they managed to find out the increase in leaf cover from different areas and places.
8. Which country contributed to the largest increase in the global new leaf area
A. China. B. India. C. Russia. D. Canada.
9. For what purpose did the author mention the Amazon rainforest
A. To show the major role of rainforest.
B. To explain the reason for developing agriculture.
C. To describe the difficulty in protecting forests.
D. To show the great increase in global green cover.
10. What did Chi Chen think of the new finding
A. Worrying. B. Interesting. C. Unexpected. D. Meaningless.
11. What does the underlined word “detected” probably mean
A. Imagined. B. Discovered. C. Studied D. Doubted.

A heavy piece of metal hit his head.” He is going to die soon,” I said. “Nothing can save him.” Tears filled Captain Nemo’s eyes, and he asked me to leave.

While performing her song Destiny, the 32-year-old mixed opera singing with sword dancing to show the bravery of Chinese women, impressing many.
Chen is a member of Zhejiang Xiaobaihua, one of China’s most famous Yueju Opera groups. Born and raised in Shengzhou, Zhejiang, the birthplace of Yueju Opera, Chen began studying the art form at 13. Yueju Opera is famous for its feminine style, as most of its performers are women. With her tall height and bright character, Chen’s teachers encouraged her to play xiaosheng roles or young male characters, said News China magazine.
Chen is known and loved by people for her reversed role in New Dragon Gate Inn, a Yueju Opera show. In the show, Chen plays the male role of Jia Ting. Called the “Jade-faced Man”, Jia has a handsome look and great charm. In her acting, Chen brings out the chemistry with her costars. For example, with just one arm, she spins a costar around easily. Chen sees her role as a mix of both female and male charms while having a strange sense of beauty.
Her performance is helping bring new life and more audiences to this ancient art form. “At first, most of the audience were common opera fans. But later, newcomers to theater, many of them young people, began showing up,” Chen told China Daily.
“Traditional Chinese opera must be passed on, but more importantly, it needs to be brought to a wider audience,” Chen wrote online on April 12.
