Every Saturday, Wang Weifang puts on a play with his friends in a small town near Xi’an. The audience can hear them, but they cannot see them. That is because they are putting on a shadow play(皮影戲).

Shadow puppets(玩偶) are made of hard leather. The leather is cut out in the shape of a person, an animal or an object. Each puppet is painted in bright colours and put on a stick. Some puppets have movable arms and legs.

During a shadow play, Wang stands behind a white screen with lights behind it. The audience sit in front of the screen. Wang and his friends hold the puppets very close to the screen so the audience can see the puppets’ shadows clearly. Then they move the puppets around and do the voices of the different characters.

Shadow plays are an ancient Chinese art. Now with TVs and films, shadow plays are not as popular as before.

Wang and his friends often work very hard for little money, but they do not mind. They want to keep this traditional art form alive.

You can’t just stop worrying. Worrying has been a huge positive in my life. There is lots of evidence(證據(jù)) that worriers are better prepared for life’s challenges and so tend to do better in the long run. I wouldn’t give it up at all.

Take a break from your schedule. If you get a holiday with your family, your friends or just tour a new city alone，you will return and become new.

Write a diary. I experienced that writing your worries gives better feelings, reduces the pressure in your head and decreases the frequency(經(jīng)常性) of worrisome（令人煩惱的） thoughts.

Watch something positively. A good speech, inspiring movie, or video sometimes gives us the confidence and courage to do something, moving past our worries.

There are over 800 boarding (寄宿) schools in the UK with students from home and foreign countries. Boarding schools started hundreds of years ago in the country. But the earliest boarding schools were set up for white, rich boys only. Now both boys and girls can go to boarding schools from the age of 7 to 18.

In the UK, boarding schools have three terms in a school year, with about 13 weeks in each term. Students study and live together. They can’t go outside if they are not allowed to. In some schools, each student has his or her subject plan. Besides the usual classrooms and laboratories, the boarding schools have lots of other facilities for their students, including music rooms, boats, swimming pools, cinemas and theatres. Most boarding schools have a “l(fā)ight out” time. So when it’s time to go to bed, all the lights in the bedrooms are turned off. There are house-masters to take care of students all the time, especially after school hours.

Nearly all students at boarding schools wear a school uniform. Boys usually wear a shirt and a tie, and girls wear a white blouse, sometimes also a tie and a skirt. As students get older, the rules become less strict.

In the UK, boarding schools provide students with delicious food. They can choose to have a full English breakfast or simply bread. For lunch and supper, they can choose a meal with or without meat. And there is always self-service for salad and dessert. Students can also make themselves something to eat at any time in a kitchen, or drink tea or have a snack between meals.
