Words of my Perfect teacher-3 ཀུན་བཟང་བླ་མའི་ཞལ་ལུང་། གསུམ་པ།

大龙：小咪！你也来学生餐厅吃饭啊？我们一起坐吧？

吴小咪：好啊。对了，还有一个星期就是春节了，这是你们第一次在中国过年，你们有什么打算？

铃美：我还没想好呢。

大龙：我也没什么打算。本来想去旅游，不过我听说有“春运”，人太多了。

吴小咪：没错！对中国人来说，春节是最重要的节日。无论我们在哪，都会赶回家的。既然你们两个没有安排，就去我家吧，怎么样？

铃美：会不会太麻烦你们了？

吴小咪：一点也不麻烦！我的家人都喜欢热闹，人越多，我们越开心。

大龙：我听说中国人过年要吃饺子。

吴小咪：看情况。在北方，大部分人爱吃面食，过年的时候，一家人一起一边包饺子一边聊天。可是在南方，很多人过年的时候不吃饺子。

大龙：原来是这样，我以为所有人都要吃饺子。

吴小咪：每个地方都有自己的习俗，所以年夜饭不太一样。我外婆是广东人，她们过年的时候要吃“盆菜”，就是一盆海鲜。我有个浙江的同学说，她们过年会吃年糕。我的四川朋友，过年之前会准备熏肉和腊肠，好吃得不得了！对了，大部分人都会吃鱼。

铃美：我知道！“鱼”和“余”的读音一样，吃鱼是希望“年年有余”。

吴小咪：是的。

大龙：那你们家过年吃什么？

吴小咪：我们家会做鱼，还有一些海鲜和很多炒菜，也会包饺子。

铃美：你们喝什么？

吴小咪：喝的东西有很多。一般来说，喝白酒比较多，也有的喝红酒，还有的喝果酒或者米酒。不喝酒的人，就喝饮料或者茶。

大龙：我发现不管是哪个国家，节日都和美食有关系。

铃美：这就是节日的重要意义吧！

The boy who cried Wolf

Have you ever hurt your neck while watching TV and wondered if it's been mounted too high? Well, you're not the only one. In fact, there are hundreds of thousands of people who discuss the subject on Reddit every day.

From breaking news to fandoms, and from memes to life's biggest questions, Reddit is a website that encourages people to discuss any subject that interests them.

The platform has over 100,000 communities, or "subreddits," that are created by users. And a subreddit about TV placement is in the top 1% of popular communities.

The community known as "TV Too High" is among the website's largest, with over 200,000 members. Here, photos of TVs in homes, hotels and other spaces are posted and often met with hundreds of comments discussing whether or not the TV has been placed at a good height.

One photo posted to the community in September 2024 showed a TV mounted above a door, with one user commenting, "Spiders on the ceiling fan have a great view."

Another photo showing a TV mounted above a staircase received over 500 comments, with one user saying, "This might be the worst one I've ever seen."

But is there a perfect height for a TV?

One user posted a guide based on advice from the subreddit. It included things like: "If when standing the TV is at eye level, IT IS TOO HIGH," and, "If the TV is angled down, IT IS TOO HIGH."

Another user posted a photo of a guide from a TV manufacturer. It said the best height for a TV when viewing while sitting down is 107 centimeters from the center of the TV screen to the floor — although some users said this was still too high!
