I didn't use to like my dad.
When he knew that I was poor in math in the primary school, he made me stay with my aunt whose husband was a math teacher.
I wanted to stop practicing the piano because I thought it was boring. But he didn't allow me. He made me practice every day and warned me not to be lazy.
I would always remember how he punished me for not being good. Once I went to play computer games with some classmates instead of going to school. After knowing what happened, he hit me in the face and stopped giving me any pocket money.
I would also remember that when I asked him to buy me a pair of expensive sports shoes, he turned me down. But he bought me a very good computer to have online lessons.
When I was at university, Mom wrote me lots of letters but he just sent money. And whenever I called home, he acted like he didn't want to talk and he always said," I'll get your mom."
But while I am enjoying the pleasure that playing the piano brings me, I know his love. When I am enjoying the success of being a top student, I know his love. Dad loves me just as Mom does, but he shows it differently.
During the summer holiday, some of you might have spent a lot of time playing video games online. However, you won't be able to do this anymore. On August 30th, the government cut online gaming time for kids in order to stop them from losing themselves in playing online games.
A new notice says that game companies can only offer one hour of service to kids from 8 p. m. to 9 p. m. on Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays, as well as on official holidays. Service cannot be offered at any other time. The companies must also make sure that users register（注册） and login（登录） with their real names.
Under earlier rules, kids could play online games for 1.5 hours on any day and three hours on holidays. But many parents have called for even stricter rules Xinhua reported.
The new rules quickly caused discussion. Some people support them, while others are surprised at how strict the rules are.
"Kids can hardly control themselves, so they need rules," one person wrote on SinaWeibo.
Others worry about loopholes. "What if kids use their parents' logins?" another person asked.
The notice also calls on parents and schools to work together to make sure the rules are followed. Children are the future of a country. Protecting their physical and mental health is important. It is necessary for kids to know more about the related laws and rules.
Thousands of years ago, in the south of ancient China, there lived Shen Nong, a man who had an ox（牛） head and human body. Seeing that local people were suffering from disease, he built ladders and houses on a high mountain to store hundreds of medical plants. To remember him, people named the place Shennongjia.
The legend（传说） makes Shennongjia in Hubei an inviting place for tourists. Traveling there is a unique experience, as you can see scenery of the four seasons from different altitudes（海拔）.
"When the bottom of the mountain is summer, the top is spring and while the foothill is autumn, the top is covered with ice," local people say of the special climate of Shennongjia.
Shennongjia is also home to 5,000 species of animals and plants. Many animals in danger live there, such as the golden monkey, the clouded leopard and the Asian black bear.
One interesting and mysterious thing about Shennongjia is its legend of wild men. Some people once claimed（声称） that they saw big prints or big-foot creatures. Yet so far, scientists haven't proved it is true and some say they are just bears.
The beautiful place has received a new title. On July 17, 2016, Shennongjia Forestry District was added to United Nations World Heritage list as a natural site. China now has 50 world heritage sites（遗址）, second only to Italy in the world.
