In the 1994 filmForrest Gump, there’s a famous saying, “Life is like a box of chocolates; you never know what
you’re gonna get.” The surprise is part of the fun. Now blind box toys are bringing the magic of surprise to online
shopping.
A blind box toy is hidden inside uniform packaging but invisible from the outside. You don’t know what will be
inside, although the toys typically come from pop culture, ranging from movies to comics and cartoons.
Blind boxes have caught on since they were first introduced fromJapantoChinain 2014. According to a 2019
Tmall report, the mini-series of Labubu blind box, designed byHong Kong-born Kasing Lung, was named Champion
of Unit Sales with 55,000 sold in just 9 seconds during the Singles Day shopping event. Most customers for blind
boxes are young people aged 18 to 35.
According to The Paper, blind box toys are popular in part because of their cute appearances. The typically
cute cartoon figurines come in miniature sizes, making them suitable for display almost anywhere.
Even if blind boxes are not their top choice for decorations, the mystery and uncertainty of the process also
attracts people. It’s the main reason why people buy blind boxes one after another.
“Fear of the unknown is always a part of the box-opening process,” said Miss Cao, 24, who lives and works
inShenyang. Speaking to Sina News, she said: “Until you open all the boxes, you cannot know what it is inside.”
Opening a blind box is a delightful little surprise for our mundane daily lives, something small but fun to wait
for each day, week or month. When people open this simple little box, they may be disappointed, but the
uncertainty is part of the fun. People will open more blind boxes and hope for a better outcome.

Haley Curfman, 25, of Blackwell, Oklahoma, is a teacher at Blackwell Public School and last yearshe bought a
plain(朴素的) white dress, which she set up a station in her classroom for her students to decorate, encouraging
them to go and draw on the dress whenever they had free time. Haley set up a station at a table with the dress
and some color1 ed markers so that her students could draw on it, having first seen the idea on Pinterest.
After the kids had finished the design, she then surprised them all by wearing the dress to class, sharing
pictures of herself in it on Facebook in a post that has since been shared over 200, 000 times.
For teachers looking to do something similar for their own students, Haley said that she bought the dress off
Amazon for less than $ 20 about six months ago and pre-washed the dress before she started the project. She
used markers from Walmart. But she said these things can be bought in other places. She said, “To do the project,
I set up a station at a table with the dress and markers. It takes anywhere from two weeks to a month to complete
as we just work on it here and there when time allows. You'd better give the students enough time so they don't
have to hurry.”
“Teachers have been sharing their dresses, T-shirts, etc. with me that they've been creating since the 1950s
with the same idea. It is amazing, and I love the fact that you are sharing them with me! Thank you all so much for
your kindness and support,” she wrote on Facebook.
Asked why she came up with the idea, Haley told Scary Mommy. “We don't have art in our school, so, I always
try to do little creative projects when possible.”
4. What did Haley use the plain white dress to do?
A. To teach her students painting.
B. To prepare for her presentation.
C. To ask her students to draw on it.
D. To help her students with their homework.
5. What do we know about the finished dress?

It was a weeknight and one of my twin daughters marched into the room, waving a book she'd finished. “Dad, why
are books with science in them always about boys?” she asked.
I told her that simply wasn't true; there were loads of great science fictions with girls in them. She agreed, but
argued that in those stories it was the boys who were doing science, and the girls were justalong for the ride. My
other daughter took her sister's side and challenged me to give an example.
This left me in a difficult position. I could either go through our library to point out some wonderful examples of
female-led science fictions, or just admit they were right and remain in my comfortable chair.
I've been asked several times how I came up with the idea forA Problematic Paradoxand my answer is always the

Over the years, I’ve been guilty of hastily shutting the front door to many strangers when they came knocking
with the intention of selling things. But earlier this year, around Easter time, a dear friend of mine had an
experience that changed my mind and perception towards these “intruders”.
Linda, who recently moved to a new neighbour hood, had been housebound all week suffering from a severe
case of flu when, early one morning, there was the terrible knock on her front door. Peering out the window, she
saw two young ladies demurely (端庄地) holding leaflets and a TV set model. She knew of a large TV set
establishment nearby and assumed a message was about to be gently delivered. “This is the last thing I need

In his 402nd anniversary year, Shakespeare is still rightly celebrated as a great language master and writer.
But he was not the only great master of play writing to die in 1616, and he is certainly not the only writer to have
left a lasting influence on theater.
While less known worldwide, Tang Xianzu is considered one of Chinas greatest playwrights and is highly
spoken of in that country of ancient literary and dramatic traditions.
Tang was born in 1550 inLinchuan,Jiangxiprovince. Unlike Shakespeare's large body of plays,poems and
sonnets (十四行诗), Tang wrote only four major plays: The Purple Hairpin, Peony Pavilion (《牡丹亭》), A Dream
under the Southern bough, and Dream of Handan. The latter three were constructed around a dream narrative, a
