Zhou Yu thought it was impossible, but Zhuge Liang said, “Give me three days.” Then he asked Lu Su to lend him 20 boats, and the soldiers put some scarecrows（稻草人）in line on the boats. He reminded Lu Su not to tell Zhou Yu what was happening.When Lu Su came again to see Zhuge Liang, he found nothing unusual. Nothing happened on the second day, either. On the early morning of the third day, Zhuge Liang invited Lu Su for a boat ride. The 20 boats were tied（系）together with strong ropes. Zhuge’s fleet went towards the camp of Cao Cao. The surface of the river was covered with thick mist（雾）all over. People could hardly see each other on the river. When Zhuge’s fleet got close to the Cao camp before dawn（黎明）, Zhuge Liang asked his soldiers to shout and beat drums heavily to pretend（假装） an attack. But Zhuge and Lu Su just sat inside one boat drinking wine to enjoy themselves.As soon as the Cao camp heard the shouting and drum beating, they mistook it for a surprise attack （袭击）by the Zhou Yu camp. Because they could see nobody on the river, they had to ask 3,000 soldiers to shoot arrows to stop the attack. The front of the scarecrows was quickly full of arrows. After a while, Zhuge Liang had his fleet turned around to get the other side of the scarecrows to face the Cao camp. When both sides were full of arrows, it was the daytime. Zhuge Liang asked his soldiers to return. The soldiers shouted in excitement, “Thank you, Cao Cao, for your arrows.” After they returned to their camp, they collected more than 100,000 arrows in total from the scarecrows.24.

Online game providers can offer only one-hour service to young people from 8 p.m. to 9 p.m. on Fridays, Saturdays, Sundays and public holidays. They are very popular with teachers and parents.Zhang Zhe, a high school teacher in Nanjing, thinks online games influence students’ studies a lot.At home, parents often find it hard to stop their children from playing them. What’s worse, students might have no interest in developing friendship. “Students who become seriously addicted（上瘾的）to online games often find all kinds of excuses to play them. They also spend little on food or clothes to save their money for online games. So I think it is really necessary for the government to take action.” said Wu Li, a teacher in Wuhan.Mrs. Wang, a mother of a high school student in Shanghai, used to have difficulty keeping her son away from online games. So she felt really glad when the new rules came out. “Whenever I tried to stop him, he got really angry. For several months, he even refused to talk to me.” said Mrs. Wang. Thanks to the rules, students can have more time to take up new hobbies. To make sure that students develop healthier lifestyle（生活方式）, schools, teachers and parents need to work closely to help young students find proper hobbies, and hold different after-school activities for them.28.

There are 32 teams competing to win. This year’s tournament looks very unique（独特的）. What makes it different from the ones before?Air-conditioned open air stadiums, women referees（裁判员）and many Chinese representatives （元素）—all things that make the Qatar World Cup different from other world cups.For starters, it’s the first time the tournament has been held in the Middle East after Qatar beat other host competitors—the US, South Korea, Japan and Australia back in 2010. It’s also the first time in history the tournament is happening during the Northern Hemisphere（北半球）winter months, from November 20 to December 18.That’s because Qatar is a desert（沙漠）country, and in summer the temperature can be as high as 42℃. That’s too hot to play outdoor sports. But it will still be pretty warm in winter. The temperature in the stadium is expected to be around 20℃ to 30℃. Air conditioning will help to keep it cooler.Qatar is also the smallest nation to host the cup. They’ll be playing the first match of the tournament. It’s Qatar’s first FIFA World Cup game. This makes them the first country to host their first game since Italy in 1934!There may be new challenges for many players too. Besides the hot weather, for European teams like En gland, France, Germany and Spain, it’s only over a year since their last big international tournament, the UEFA Champions League.32.
