What do you think about your Chinese textbook?Are all the articles in it beautifully written and interesting enough?If not, just replace some boring ones with the good pieces you find elsewhere．
That's-exactly what students at Shanghai Jianping High School do．One fourth of their texts are widely taken from works by authors such as Zhou Guoping, Lin Yutang, Francis Bacon, or even written by their fellow students．
“We’re fascinated with these new articles because they were chosen by people of our age and most of the pieces relate to our lives,”said Hu Mengchun, 17．
Yao Minyi, 18, and her friends once came across an article on Peking University' s old professor Ji Xianlin, which was written by a well-known CCTV host Bai Yansong．They found it inspiring on how to become a respectable person, so they showed the article to their teacher．The article soon became a hot topic once it was collected into their book．
Chen Dui, 18, loves Indian poet Rabindranath Tagore．Two years ago, she wrote a report on the poet’s works Stray Bird．Last term she gave a lecture to the lower grades on it and shared her experience on how to enjoy Tagore' s poems．
However, Senior 1 Hu Yang argues that their Chinese readings are still not enough．
“I hope to read some passages from novels or articles by young authors born in the 1980s such as Han Han, Guo Jingming and Min Xiaoxi,”she said．
“Some lyrics by Lin Xi and Vincent Fang, who often write for Jay Chou’s songs, are also great．”Hu added．
