247 graduate students of Fudan University have volunteered to teach the children in Xihaigu region（地区）of Ningxia for the past 22 years. The region used to be poor because of its terrible natural environment. "We expect to make a difference to the children's life by sharing our knowledge in different fields, " one of the volunteers says.

The students have different abilities, so the volunteers have used different teaching methods to help them develop good study habits. "Local children had never learned English before, so we started with basic knowledge like English letters and pronunciation, " says Li Lianshuo, a Fudan volunteer. The volunteers help the students remember English words, read articles and deal with their study problems.

"We visit the students' homes in our free time. We communicate with their parents so that we help the parents understand the importance of children's education, because the parents didn't care much about it years ago, " explains Yang Chenhaotong, who was the leader of the volunteer team in 2019. According to Yang, the parents give their children a lot of support in their studies now.

The volunteers have helped the local children with their studies. They have also set up football clubs and held many ball games to make the children's life colorful. Fudan University has also given away more than 10 million yuan to the region to build playgrounds（操场）and other buildings over the past 22 years.

"Thanks to my volunteer teacher, my life has changed a lot. I will study hard and become an excellent person like her, " Li Sumei, a local student, says excitedly.

Scientists find that hard﹣working people live longer than average men and women. Career（职业）women are healthier than housewives. Evidence（证据） shows that the jobless are in poorer health than job holders. An investigation shows that whenever the unemployment rate increases by 1%, work is helpful to health. 

Why is work good for health?It is because work keeps people busy away from loneliness. Researches show that people feel unhappy, worried and lonely when they have nothing to do. Instead, the happiest are those who are busy. Many high achievers who love their careers feel that they are happiest when they are working hard. Work serves as a bridge between man and reality. By work people come into contact with each other. By collective activity they find friendship and warmth. This is helpful to health. The loss of work means the loss of everything. It affects man spiritually and makes him ill. 

Besides, work gives one a sense of achievement. Work makes one feel his value and status in society. When a writer finishes his writing or a doctor successfully operates on a patient or a teacher sees his students grow, they are happy beyond words. 

From the above we can come to the conclusion that the more you work the happier and healthier you will be. Let us work hard and study hard and live a happy and healthy life. 

The Spring Festival holiday runs from Jan. 21 to 27 this year. Influenced by the 2022 Beijing Winter Olympics, ice-and-snow tours flower among Chinese people during the seven-day holiday. 

He Rui spent the first day of the Spring Festival holiday at home. He went to the ski resort（滑雪胜地）in his city early on the second day and was ready to start the Year of the Rabbit on his snowboard. 

Since he started skiing two years ago, the 11-year-old has gotten used to getting up early and practicing skiing. 

"People used to stay at home during the Spring Festival holiday. But as our society pays more attention to healthy lifestyle, more people want to spend their holiday skiing," said Chang Yulin, director of a ski resort. "We hold colorful activities here so that visitors can both enjoy skiing and have a special Spring Festival holiday," said Ren Xiaoqiang, manager of the resort. 

For Qiao Jian, a ski-lover from Shanxi, skiing has become his new habit to celebrate the Spring Festival. He has flown to Heilongjiang Province（省）and Hebei Province, because there's more ice and snow. 

"Besides taking part in winter sports, we can visit nearby places to experience more local culture," Qiao said. 

The number of snow and ice travelers in China is expected to reach more than 300 million in winter. The number is expected to reach 520 million in three years. And the money from ice-and-snow tours will probably reach ¥720 billion.
