    Westlife is holding farewell (告别) concerts worldwide to say goodbye to its fans. But a new boy band has stepped up to take its 1.

    One Direction has released just one album and three singles  2. But the boy band has already become popular. What Makes You Beautiful was the highest-selling British debut single in the US. When the band appeared  3   The Today Show in the US on March 12, some American fans camped out for three days just to catch a glimpse of them.

    All five members of the band are no 4  than 20 and each has his own style. Niall Horan is the "cute little Irish one"; Zayn Malik is the "quiet and mysterious one"; Liam Payne is "the sensible (理智的) one"; Harry Styles is "the charming one" and Louis Tomlinson is "the funny one".

    One Direction's first shot at stardom wasn't exactly5 . The band members took part in the British talent show, The X Factor, in 2010–but all of them  6  it. Everything changed when they joined together to 7  One Direction. They came third in the final competition and were signed by the record company of Simon Cowell, the  8of The X Factor.

    Of course, the interest of fans can change quickly 9  a new artist comes out. Only time can tell  10  One Direction will last as long as Westlife or whether fashion will take another direction.

    This is a story about a mountaineer named Phillip. Phillip was a member of a mountaineering team that planned to climb a mountain. In order to enjoy the glory of being the first to reach the mountaintop, Phillip went to climb the mountain alone one night while the other mountaineers were sleeping.

    Obviously, climbing at night wasn't a smart decision. But he still wanted to give it a try. He was nearly to the top when he suddenly slipped and started to fall. At that moment, his entire life flashed (闪现) before him .

    His body was hanging in mid-air. While thinking about how close he was to death, he felt the rope around his waist (腰) suddenly tighten around him. He helplessly shouted, "Somebody helps me!" Suddenly, a low voice came from the valley, "Cut the rope!" "What?" He couldn't believe what he heard. "Cut the rope around your waist!" It was dark all around, so he couldn't see his surroundings. He refused to cut the rope, choosing to hold onto it as tightly as he could.

    The next day, when his fellow mountaineers found him, they discovered that he had died of exposure (暴露) to the cold, holding tight to the rope in his hands. But he was only ten feet above a big rock! If he had cut the rope and allowed himself to fall, he might have been able to land in a safe place, build a fire and wait for someone to save him.

    Stir-fry, Peking duck, fried rice – the tastes of Britain.

    "Britain?!" I hear you cry. "But British people take afternoon tea with sandwiches! Those are Chinese dishes!"

    According to a survey by Food Network UK, nine out of 10 British people said their favorite food was Asian. The number one international food in Britain was stir-fry, according to the Daily Mail, with 55 percent saying they ate it often.

    Britain has a very multicultural history. Centuries of history brought dishes from across the world. Almost every town in the UK has a Chinese or Indian restaurant, and Italian, Thai and Jamaican are not unusual. Perhaps it's no surprise that they learned to cook and eat dishes from other countries. Traditional British food doesn't have a great reputation (名声).

    International food has become British food – even when British are cooking. Another survey by the UKTV food channel in 2009 showed the most common dish British could cook without a recipe was Italian spaghetti bolognaise (意大利肉酱面).

    However, if you're in the UK and think a trip to a Chinese restaurant would be a great way to stay away from homesickness, think again. Many British Chinese dishes aren't exactly Chinese. At the end of every British Chinese meal, you get a sweet crisp known as a "traditional Chinese fortune cookie". I have lived in Beijing for almost a year. I have yet to eat a fortune cookie that is really Chinese. A bowl of stir-fry followed by a fortune cookie… now that would be a way to cure my homesickness – for the UK.

    Rob Frenette had problems with bullies (欺辱) at school for eleven years. He was often lonely and scared. When he was fifteen, however, he decided to do something about his problems.

    He walked into a newspaper office and told them about the bullying. His story went into the newspaper and soon all the TV stations in Canada wanted to talk to him about his experiences. They also wanted to hear his ideas to stop bullying. 

    After that, Rob continued his studies at school, but in his free time he helped other people with bullying problems. With a friend Katie Neu, he made a website called www.bullyingcanada.ca.Visitors to the website can find advice, stories and poems about bullying, in both English and French. When people are upset, they can talk on the phone or online to Rob and his team. Every weekend Rob has to answer e-mails to the website. He also speaks to children, teachers and members of government around the country about bullying. 

    Rob's most important message is: "When bullies are unkind to you, it isn't your fault. There's nothing wrong with you, so you should try to keep trusting yourself. And remember that people care about your problems. You just have to find those people." One of Rob's ideas is "Blue Day", a special day for stopping bullying in schools. Students have to wear blue clothes and in class they learn how to stop bullying. More than 150 Canadian schools now celebrate Blue Day, but Rob won't stop until there's a Blue Day in every school in Canada.

    You don't have to be a scientist to solve big environmental problems. One Dutch designer is finding creative ways to make a change – and he's inviting cyclists to join him.

    Daan Roosegaarde, 38, is a designer from the Netherlands. He uses creative ideas to improve city life. For his Smog Free Project, he designed a portable tower that cleans air in Chinese parks.

    In the Netherlands, he designed a glowing bicycle path.

    Now Daan and his team are working with engineers at Chinese bike-sharing company Ofo to create a new product for public use. It's an air-cleaning machine attached (连接) to a bicycle and is part of the Smog Free Project.

    In smoggy weather, the device would breathe in the air in front of the bike and blow out a stream of clean air toward the cyclist's face. So how does it work? Daan said the "smog-free bikes" would use the process of ionization (电离作用) to collect harmful particles in the air, such as PM 2.5.

    "Take a balloon and polish it with your hand to produce static (静电) – it's the same principle (原理)," Daan told China Daily.

    It's no secret that air pollution is a big problem for China. In winter, it's common for thick clouds of haze, caused largely by factory production, burning of coal and car emissions, to cover areas of China. In 2016, only one-fourth of Chinese cities met the country's air quality standards (标准), according to a survey of 338 cities nationwide from the Ministry of Environmental Protection.

    "Of course one tower and a few bikes won't solve China's air pollution problem," Daan told The Guardian. "But smog-free bikes are an exciting idea that will hopefully activate communities toward creating greener cities."

    As a teenager, I felt I was always letting people down. Once I        (bring) my friend Penelope to my home. I noticed that all my family members seemed        (like) Penelope better than me. I felt very      (disappoint). I even thought they didn't love me. So I told my mom, "Penelope is        (patient) than I have ever been. You must want her to be your daughter rather than me." My mom said, "      Penelope was a lovely girl, no one could replace me in the family." She said that I        (be) the only person who could fill my role. She made me realize that even if I made mistakes, I was a beloved member of the family who could never        (replace).

    From then on, I tried to find out who I was and what made me special. I started to act in         positive way toward my life, and I was happy about who I        (real) was. I came to feel much more confidence once I knew that no one could ever take my place.

    Each of us holds a special place in the world. You are special, no matter what others say or what you may think. So        (forget) about being replaced. You can't be.
