What to See InHarbin
Parks inHarbin: Snow Sculpture Expo on theSunIslandPark: massive and beautifully carved sculptures of snow.
Ice Lantern Festival: where large ice buildings and statues constructed with lights inside that make them
glow.SiberianTigerPark: The park has several large caged areas where the tigers roam freely and live as they-would
in their natural environment. We enter these caged areas in a specially designed van with large windows to get a
look at these beautiful beasts. Live pheasants (雉) are let loose (if you pay) in order to show you the tigers' natural
hunting skills.
Russian Architecture: Blessed with grace and character, the city is famous for its unique, Russian-influenced
architecture. Remnants (残存) from the days when Harbin wasan important stop on the Russian Manchurian
Railroad, the dome-shaped structures remind people of pre-revolutionary Russia. The strong Russian flavor
continues to impact the city today due to new trade and tourism betweenHarbinandRussia.
TheCentral Avenue: Passers-by only street, a perfect remaining part of the busy international business
activities at the turn of the 20th century. The 1.4-km long street is a worthy museum of European architectural
styles, including Baroque and Byzantine facades, Jewish architectural wonders, little Russian bakeries, French
fashion houses, American snack food outlets, and Japanese restaurants.
Guogeli Avenue:Harbin's second biggest shopping district dotted with Russian buildings. A tram track is still
preserved in the centre of the road. The street is named after Nikolay (Vasilyevich) Gogol (1809-1852); great
Russian novelist, dramatist, satirist, founder of the so-called critical realism in Russian literature, best-known for
his novel MERTVYE DUSHI I-II (1842, Dead Souls).
Saint Sophia Church (built in 1903): The Orthodox church is a wonderful example of Russian Architecture. We
only tour the outside of the church. The inside has been turned into some painters' market and is a big
disappointment to all who visit it. You are welcome to venture into the church. Entrance fees are RMB20 per
person.

Japan's prime minister encouraged the decision to ban viewers, even family members, by issuing a state of
emergency order in Tokyo earlier this month in response to rising COVID-19 case numbers.
From the perspective of sports psychologists, an Olympics without fans is a real-life science experiment that
is helping researchers and clinicians to comb through the true impact of a crowd of fans on its players—and on
viewers at home. The strange circumstances under which the games are held may place unexpected pressure on
some athletes. On Tuesday, superstar gymnast Simone Biles dropped out of the women's team event, telling
teammates and reporters she wasn't in the right “headspace” to compete. “It's been really stressful this Olympic
Games. There are a lot of different variables going into it,” Biles told the Washington Post.
The 2020 Summer Olympics bears similarities and differences to other major sporting events without viewers.
The English Premier League supplemented (增加) game broadcasts with crowd noise from the soccer video game
FIFA 20, mixed with game audio in real time. A Taiwanese baseball team and German soccer team began
populating stands with cardboard cutouts of fans, and the trend caught on internationally.
Jamey Houle, the lead sports psychologist for Ohio State University Athletics and a former Al-American
gymnast, says competitive athletes are trained in visualization— imagining performing a certain action or motion,
such as doing a roundoff back handspring in gymnastics. Without moving a muscle, players using visualization can
solidify neural (神经的) connections and activate their motor cortex (皮层). To visualize most effectively, Houle
says, athletes working with sports psychologists will try to simulate as closely as possible the conditions of actual

Alex Palmer says he'll never forget his 13th birthday, not because of a gift or a party, but fire. “It made me
realize how valuable life is,” said Alex, a seventh grader atMonroeDemonstrationSchoolinTulsa,Oklahoma.
On April 18, Alex and many other kids from his school were riding home on a school bus when they suddenly
saw smoke coming from the bus’ engine. “It was jaw-dropping,” he told reporters.
By the time Alex and some other kids made it out the bus’ back door, the bus was already on fire. And some
of their schoolmates were still inside. So he and some of the other older kids took action.
“One little kid was slowing everyone down with his big backpack, ” eighth grader Destiny Fain said, “so I got it

Best language learning apps
Duolingo
The app doesn't restrict how many languages you can try to learn at the same time. I use Duolingo to practice
Spanish and German. In the app, you can access resources such as Duolingo Stories, which can allow you to check
your comprehension skills as you go. I also subscribe to Premium for $10 per month which includes an ad-free
experience and downloadable lessons.
Memrise
One of my favorite parts of Memrise is its short videos about how real locals express different phrases in
conversation. A few lessons are available for free daily, but the full program is accessible if you subscribe to
Memrise Pro. There are three plans—one month for $9, a year for $30 or three months for $19.

Winnie the Pooh
by A A Milne
My father used to read this to me when I was very young — he used different voices for all the animals. The
characterization (角色设定) was so clever; we all know someone just like each inhabitant of the HundredAcre
Wood: gloomy Eeyore; thick but loyal Pooh; enthusiastic Tigger.
A A Milne was masterful in exploring the way they got along together, opening my eyes to how society really
works.

One day when I was 12, my mother gave me an order: I was to walk to the public library, and borrow at least
one book for the summer. This was one more weapon for her to defeat my strange problem inability to read.
In the library,I found my way into the "Children's Room." I sat down on the floor and pulled a few books off
the shelf at random. The cover of a book caught my eye. It presented a picture of a beagle. I had recently had a
beagle, the first and only animal companion I ever had as a child. He was my secret sharer, but one morning, he
was gone, given away to someone who had the space and the money to care for him. I never forgot my beagle.
Without opening the book—Amos, the Beagle with a Plan ,1 borrowed it from the library for the summer.

In Sweden, McDonald’s is building “bee hotels” on the back of its roadside billboards (广告牌) to help save
the country’s decreasing bee population. It launched the campaign together with outdoor advertising giant
JCDecaux. Six large wooden bee hotels, with drilled holes on the front, first appeared on the back of a north-facing
billboard in Jarfalla in September.
“Without pollination (授粉) from bees, a thirdof the food we eat would be threatened.” McDonald’s said. But
it turns out that at least 30 percent of the country’s wild bee population is endangered, according to the fast-food
chain. A big problem is that they lack places to live. Based on data released by Chalmers University of Technology,
we know Sweden owns 274 species of bees, of which 37 species are bumblebees, and more than a third are

The Orchard
I had a very nice meal at the Orchard restaurant．The food was lovely and the service was quite good．We
chose to eat in the garden which was full of beautiful flowers and very relaxing．The only disappointment was the
dessert — the apple piewas far too sweet and it was cold too．Apart from that it was an enjoyable evening．As for
the price — what a bargain，excellent value for money！
Park Inn
The best thing about Park Inn was the service — it was excellent．There was a warm welcome when we
arrived and the waiters were very helpful all evening．However，the food wasn’t as good．The menu looked
interesting but the meals were rather tasteless．It’s not a cheap restaurant and I wasn’t happy to pay so much for
