Who are the top students in the world, do you know? Last week the Organization for Economic Co-operation Development (經(jīng)濟(jì)合作與發(fā)展組織) picked the best students in the world. They are Finnish (芬蘭的). The OECD gave a test to 280 000 15-year-old students from more than 40 coun­tries and regions (地區(qū)) last year. The OECD wan­ted to know how well students were doing at school.

The Spring Festival, the most important Chinese holiday when everyone returns home, has caused headaches for millions of Chinese.
