2021 is the year of the ox（牛）.In March，a set of stamps about the famous Tang Dynasty painting，Five Oxen，came out. Itallows more people to know better the great art of ancient China，as well as the importance of agriculture（农业）in history.
Han Huang （723﹣787）was the painter of Five Oxen.He worked as a government official in the Tang Dynasty.His paintings were loved by many because the animals he painted were so alive.Unluckily，Five Oxen is probably his only painting left.
Five Oxen is one of the best animal paintings in China's art history.In the painting，the five oxen are in a line.They are of different colors and shapes.And each has a different appearance（形态），walking or standing，holding their heads high or low.With lively expressions and bright eyes，the oxen show the spirit of doing hard work without complaints（抱怨）.As the name suggests， ▲.It makes people focus（关注）on the oxen themselves.
The painting was missing in 1900.Luckily，it returned to China during the early 1950s.However，it was terribly broken with many holes in it.Great efforts were made to save it.Now Five Oxen，probably the oldest Chinese painting on paper，is kept with care in the Palace Museum in Beijing.

INTRODUCTION It's hard to believe that I wrote Number the Stars more than twenty years ago.It seems like yesterday that I answered the phone on a snowy January morning and received the news that it had won the 1990 Newbery Medal（美国纽伯瑞儿童文学奖）. I think readers of every age may match themselves with the important persons in the books they love and ask themselves：Would I have done that？What choice would I have made？ And ten﹣the age of Annemarie in Number the Stars﹣is an age when young people are beginning to develop a strong set of personal ethics（道德观；价值观）.They are beginning to realize that the world they live in is not always good and safe. So they follow a story about a ten﹣year﹣old girl who is caught in a dangerous situation，and she must make decisions.Young readers become cheerful when Annemarie takes a deep breath，enters the woods，faces the danger，stands up to the enemy and wins her victory. Today，the book has been published in many countries and translated into many languages.It found its way into the hands and hearts of children who had read about but never experienced war. . . .Books do change lives，I know；and many readers have told me that Number the Stars changed theirs when they were young，that it made them think about both.cruelty（残酷；残忍） and courage. "It was something that shaped my idea of how people should be treated， "wrote a young woman recently，telling me.about her own fourth﹣grade experience with the book. The Danish friend who first told me the story of her childhood，and who became the Annemarie in my book，is an old woman now.So am I.We both love thinking of the children reading the story today，coming to it for the first time and realizing that once，for a short time and in a small place，a group of prejudice﹣free（不存偏见的）people created a touching story of love.and kindness towards others. Lois Lowry |

Tom thought，and then said， "No，I don't think so，Ben.Aunt Polly wants this fence painted carefully because it's on the street.It's difficult to do it right."
"Come on，let me try."
"I'd like to，Ben.But Aunt Polly won't even let my brother Sid do it."

Teen's 'wuxia' world
While many teenagers are struggling （奋斗） to write articles for their exams，Jin Minzhe has already written a whole book.
The 15﹣year﹣old boy from Suzhou，Jiangsu，recently published （出版） his wuxia novel Ji Chi Jing Hong He Shan Yi（《几尺惊鸿河山意》）.The story is set during the Southern and Northern Dynasties （420﹣581）.A young man lays down his pen and takes up a sword to fight for his homeland.
"I love Jin Yong's wuxia stories，" Jin told Gusu Evening News. "I also love history.In the seventh grade，I traveled to Wuzhen，where Prince Xiao Tong from the Liang Dynasty once lived，and I was inspired（受启发） to write a wuxia story based on（以……为根据） him."
In a video interview with Xinhua，Jin looks a little bit shy.But when it comes to writing，he becomes someone bold.He shared a lot of his writing experiences actively. "I wrote around the clock as my ideas kept coming.After about 20 days，I finished more than 300 pages，" Jin said.
Jin's writing skills might come from his love of reading.In primary school，he read four books every week.In junior high school，where schoolwork is heavy，he still reads three to four books a month. ？
"My father loves history，so we often talk about our reading experiences and share our different opinions，" Jin said. "My mom takes me to bookstores and writers' lectures.She also took care of me when I wrote the book，reminding me not to stay up too late."
Jin said literature（文学） gave him a sense of calm and freedom. "Nothing can stop me from reading and writing，" he said.
