By the end of the year, all public “.” in the city will be called “toilets”. In western countries people don’t use “”, because it is quite rude in English. Road signs are also on the list. These signs will be changed into real English word. For example, “Dong Chang’an Jie” will bee “East Chang’an Avenue”. But there is still a question. What to do about menus? Thousands of tourists, athletes and reporters will visit the city, and most of them can’t speak Chinese or understand Chinese characters. Now linguists (語言學者 ) are trying hard to translate popular Chinese dishes like “ants climbing the tree ” into good English. Chinese children will be able to get a taste of adult working life in the Kids City. It will allow children aged 5 to 10 to try out different jobs after it opens. The world’s first Kids City was opened in Mexico City in 1999. In 2021, Kids City opened its Tokyo Park in Japan. It became an attraction to kids. Now it will begin in China.

B We do some strange things when we don’t like the way our life is going. Too often we blame (埋怨 ) someone else. “I wish my parents were more understanding.” “I have such a bad Chemistry teacher!” “My friends are so boring and selfcentered. They make my life worse and worse.” Blame! Blame! Blame! It seems natural to sing this selfpitying song, but the truth is, if you don’t like your life, you should do something about it. No one else knows exactly how y
