The Contemporary Museum of Calligraphy (書法) contains more than 200 art pieces including Arabic, Chinese,【1】(Europe), Indian, Japanese and Slavic calligraphic works.

“One of the most interesting【2】(item) in the museum is a book of calligraphic work on the 36 military tactics (戰(zhàn)術(shù)) applied during wars in ancient China," Alexey Shaburov, founder and keeper of the museum,【3】(tell) a group of reporters from China on November 24.

The giant book is exhibited in a large glass case. Shaburov took it out to show some of【4】(it) content. Each tactic,【5】is usually expressed in four Chinese characters, is written on one page and accompanied by a Russian translation on another page. The tactics represent the【6】(wise) of Chinese people. They are not only useful on the battlefield【7】also for business and personal life.

He said he became crazy about calligraphy, so he decided【8】(establish) a calligraphic museum in Moscow. The museum has played【9】important role in promoting calligraphy in Russia.“Calligraphy wasn't seen as an art form in Russia. But this year, some of the artworks from our museum were made a part of the non-public section of the Russian museum collection,” Shaburov said,【10】(add) that this means that calligraphic works' are acknowledged as cultural heritage and will be protected in Russia.

Bullying is not just physical, like hitting or kicking someone, or taking their things without permission. Bullying can also be With words- -saying or writing things that are not nice. Another type of bullying is social- choosing not to include someone, embarrassing someone or telling other people not to be friends with them. Bullying can happen at school, on public transport, when you're walking home, online .... In fact, it can happen anywhere.

Bullying usually involves more people than you think. There are the people who bully and those who are bullied. Sometimes other people help the bully or join in. Then there are the kids that support- -they don't bully anyone directly, but they support the bullying by being audience. They laugh or encourage the children who are bullying in other ways. This is why it's important for everyone to work together against bullying. Some children see what is happening and want to help, although they don't know how. Others may comfort and defend the person being bullied. To stop bullying we need everyone to be brave and take a stand.

Does your school do anything to prevent bullying? Why don't you create a student anti-bullying group? This group can do many things. Let the head teacher know how well the school is doing with fighting bullying and give them advice. Choose an anti-bullying slogan for your school, make posters and displays or take over the school's social media for a week to send out anti-bullying messages.

Bullying is a social problem and it needs a solution from society- in other words, everyone. Next time you see someone being cruel to someone else, take a stand! Don't laugh or ignore what's happening- -tell an adult as soon as possible and help everyone to realize that bullying is not OK.

Last month, LaBarba was 【2】 a 12-hour flight from Zurich to Los Angeles with his wife when a female passenger 【3】 (sit) close to them said that she didn’t feel well. Before she could get up 【4】 (use) the restroom, she fell down. LaBarba 【5】 (immediate) rushed to the woman’s side, only to find that she didn’t have a pulse. With the help of another passenger, he had the woman lie across a row of 【6】 (seat) so he could begin pushing her chest. After six pushes, 【7】 started to wake up.

LaBarba, his wife, and the passenger 【8】 (move) to first class, where the newly-graduated doctor monitored her health.

The passenger expressed her extreme gratitude toward LaBarba, 【9】 happened to be the only doctor on board 【10】 300-person flight that day. He said that the experience confirmed his “calling and desire to help people”.

More than 3 years ago I travelled to Britain and stay there for 10 days, and it’s still one of the most wonderful trip I have ever taken. The moment when I arrived in London, I went to the Sherlock Holmes Museum. The museum is modeled in the fictional house in that Sherlock Holmes and John Watson lived. And it also contains reproductions of any famous crime scenes from the stories. I walked around each room carefully as if we had been at a real crime scene and afraid of destroying valuable clues. As crazy fan of Sherlock, I felt extreme interested. Now I’m looking forward to take my next trip there.
