 Topic1 Zero Down Payment Home PurchaseRecently, Bloomberg reports that China's home buyers are being offered no-money-down purchases in an echo of the subprime lending that triggered a U.S. economic meltdown and the global financial crisis.

What happened? Is it really that serious?
Topic2 Empty Gaotie TrainsA Chinese railway expert says it's ok to have empty high-speed trains and people might as well just appreciate the trains. "这样空着也好,就是大家可以做欣赏用." We aren't sure whether he means the high speed train's appearance is enjoyable, or it's nice to sit in half-empty compartments1.
A report by China National Radio says although the summer vacation is just around the corner, there are still many unsold tickets for the country's high-speed trains.
But is it really ok if high-speed trains run every day half empty?
Topic3 School textbooks to include Jay Chou lyricsThe latest version of Chinese textbooks for primary school students in China will include pop song lyrics2 as reading selections, a move that prompted both cheers and jeers3 from crowds online.
The textbook for third graders will include the lyrics of Taiwan pop idol4 Jay Chou's 2001 hit song "Snail5", in which the shelled hero fulfills6 its dream of reaching the sky through a relentless7 struggle to succeed.
What do you think?
