小潘: Teacher Liu, I saw in the news that one in every eight people has a mental health problem. Is that true?
刘娜: Yes, it's true. Many people experience anxiety, stress, or trouble sleeping, but they don't realize these are signs of psychological issues.
小潘: Do they all need to go to the hospital? I sometimes get nervous too, especially before exams.
刘娜: If it’s just temporary nervousness, that’s fine. But if the discomfort lasts and you feel unhappy for a long time, you should visit a psychological clinic.
小潘: I see. I used to think that just 'cheering up' would solve it.
刘娜: Many people misunderstand that. Depression is like a cold — it can be treated. The most important thing is to seek help bravely and not be afraid.

赵强: Huang Gang, did you see the news about Wang Tianyi’s case? I never thought the top figure in Chinese chess would be sentenced for bribery and match-fixing.
黄刚: I saw it. The impact is huge. Wang Tianyi confessed in court and admitted to taking money multiple times to manipulate matches. It’s really disappointing.
赵强: Chinese chess has always given people an impression of integrity and purity. Now with so many grandmasters involved in 'match trading,' it’s really tarnished the image.
黄刚: Indeed, it shows that professional sports must strengthen oversight. Not only football or basketball — even intellectual games like Xiangqi can’t escape corruption.
赵强: I heard the Xiangqi Association has given them lifetime bans and will start education and legal awareness programs. Hopefully this will serve as a real warning.
黄刚: Yes, Xiangqi carries culture and spirit. Only by maintaining fairness and integrity can it regain the respect of its fans.
赵强: I hope the Xiangqi world can return to honesty and people won’t associate ‘grandmasters’ with ‘buying games’ anymore.
黄刚: I believe after this scandal, Chinese chess will become cleaner and stronger than before.

小宝: Brother, Mom said China is very safe. Is that true?
小刚: It’s true! An American company conducted a survey showing that China is the third safest country in the world.
小宝: Then is it dangerous to go out at night?
小刚: Don’t worry. Many people feel it’s safe to walk alone at night. Chinese police work very hard, and you can often see them patrolling the streets.
小宝: I like going to the park to play, and I also feel very safe.
小刚: That’s right, so we can live happily without worrying too much about bad people. China is really very safe.
