Mangzhong is a pun(双关语) on the phrase “busy planting” in Chinese. It describes what a farmer’s life is like during this period. Farmers need to plant various crops, such as beans and sweet potatoes. They also need to harvest(收割) wheat and vegetables in time.
During this time, the Middle-Lower Yangtze River enters the rainy season. In southern China, this period is called plum rain season(梅雨季节). Plum rains often happened during June and July. Plums become ripe(熟的) during this time, so this long summer period of rainy or cloudy weather is called the plum rain season. Plum rains might be unpleasant, but plum wine has been popular among the Chinese for thousands of years. Plums are good for people’s health. However, fresh plums taste sour. Therefore, Chinese people usually make wines with them instead of eating them directly. They also use plums to make a sour plum drink and preserved plums(话梅).

Do you have your mobile phone？Where do you usually use it, at home, on the bus or in the street while walking? Anyway, schools are certainly no longer place to use it.
Only this year a national ban(禁令) on mobile phone use was passed. According to it, both primary and middle school students are not allowed to bring mobile phones to school. If they have to, they need to get the parents’ and school’s permission(许可), Besides, all phones must be kept by the teacher during class time.
According to the Ministry of Education, the main goal of the ban is to protect students’ eyesight and prevent them from getting addicted(上瘾) to the Internet and video games.

The report found mobile phone users in this group used their phones mostly for online learning, listening to music and playing games.
The ministry of Education also says that teachers are not allowed to ask students to finish homework on mobile phones. Schools should set up more public pay phones and find other ways of talking to parents.
The new ban appears to be widely supported. In a survey on Weibo, 54% of more than 1,900 people who took part in the survey said they believed it was unnecessary for school children to take mobile phones to schools, more than a quarter wanted more flexible policy(灵活的政策)，with 20% saying mobile phones should be allowed in school.
