Mr. Gu is a teacher frm Xi’an. He asked his students t hand in their hmewrk thrugh a QR cde(二维码). “We spent an hur r tw in class
learning hw t generate (产生) the cdes, and in the end everything gets easier” said Ga. “When students finish the hmewrk, they keep it n

WeChat. Then, each student makes his wn QR cde and gives it t me. S I can check their wrk everywhere using my cmputer r telephne.”
The QR cdes can be sent t Mr. Gu by email, QQ and WeChat. When Gu scans(扫描)his students’ QR cdes, their hmewrk appears n his
phne. He finds that their hmewrk becmes mre creative, with many pictures, music and even vides.
Gu’s students like the new way and think it is interesting. “We are living in the infrmatin age. Many students like t wrk with cmputers,
which makes learning mre fun,” said Tingting, a student f Gu’s.
“The paper is nt easy t keep, but the cde is easy t keep and share,” Gu said. “It is wrth trying t use new technlgy in educatin.
Educatin itself is a kind f creatin. I dn’t want my students t fall behind the times.”

It is late autumn—millins f gardeners acrss the nrthern hemisphere, pulled n their thickest sweaters, spent hurs clearing large piles f leaves
and packed them int plastic bags at the end f driveways.
In the US alne, nearly 10 millin tnnes f garden waste g t landfill every year. That is a large amunt f effrt, nt just frm an envirnmental
viewpint but frm that f ur aching backs, t. S where des this advice cme frm? Well, it largely cmes frm the belief that thick fallen leaves can
make plants under them unable t breathe, especially shrter grass. They shut dwn imprtant phtsynthesis (光合作用) and get in the way f the
grwth f the shrter grass. Hwever, this received wisdm has recently been questined by researchers at Wiscnsin University.
The key finding f their new research was that althugh clearing fallen leaves is ne f the mst cmmn gardening practices, it makes very little
sense. In natural ecsystems, fallen leaves help return nutrients necessary fr healthy plant grwth t the sil, which greatly imprves sil cnditin.
Remving leaves year after year breaks this eclgical (生态的) balance. Letting sme leaves stick arund t cver yur garden is a great way t help yur
grass and the lcal ecsystem.
They further explained that if up t 50percent f yur grass lawn (草坪) is cvered by fallen leaves, yu might as well g back indrs and put yur
feet up. The advantages f this light leaf cverage far utweigh the disadvantages—the leaves will quickly break dwn and help next year’s lawn grw
far better than if yu had cleared them. Only at ver 50 percent cverage d the Wiscnsin researchers recmmend clearing.
S why nt cnsider leaving the leaves? Save time, carbn and effrt, and in exchange get a healthier lawn frm this garden waste—that seems like
a pretty gd deal. And hw many plastic bags culd be saved by simply nt binning fallen leaves every year? In the US alne, abut 700 millin.

With lw r n-carbhydrate diets rising in ppularity in recent times, the ptat is nw regularly verlked in favur f ther vegetables. In fact,
research literature has previusly indicated ptates may have a detrimental effect n health, such as increasing the pssibility f develping Type2

vegetables, such as lwering risk f Type 2 diabetes, health issues assciated with ptates may actually be due t hw peple are preparing them and

candidate Pratik Pkharel carried ut wrk n the analysis and said while ptates didn’t have the same impact n Type 2 diabetes, they als didn’t
have any negative effect.
“In Denmark, peple cnsume ptates prepared in many different ways. In ur study, we culd distinguish between the different preparatin
methds. When we separated biled ptates frm mashed ptates(土豆泥), fries r crisps, biled ptates were n lnger assciated with a higher risk
f diabetes: They had a zer effect,” said Pkharel.
“In ur study, peple wh ate the mst ptates als cnsumed mre butter, red meat and sft drinks-fds knwn t increase yur risk f Type 2
diabetes,” said Pkharel. “We shuld separate ptates frm ther vegetables in regard t messaging abut disease preventin but replacing refined
grains such as white rice and pasta(意大利面食)with ptates can imprve yur diet quality because f fibre and ther nutrients fund in ptates.”

A Special Gift
I always believe that there are certain gifts sticking in ur minds fr a variety f reasns.
The gift given t me that I treasured mst was a dll named Patsy. I met her in a gift shp when I was nine. On hlding Patsy I immediately fell in
lve with her and culdn’t even bear t part frm her. At that time, my mther nticed it and at Christmas, as I received the gift frm her, I was
surprised t find my dream dll in the bx. Frm then n Patsy became my baby and I lved her dearly.

A mnth later, I was n my way t the cinema when I glimpsed sme lvely gifts in pretty bxes thrugh the windw f the gift shp. Seeing them
reminded me that my mther’s birthday was a few mnths away. Wuldn’t it be nice, I thught, if I culd give her smething really special, just like
the gift she gave me? I stepped inside and caught sight f a beautiful dress hung n the cat stand, which I was sure my mther wuld like. S I asked
the saleswman its price.
The lady must have seen my disappintment when she tld me hw much it wuld cst. But she had a suggestin which immediately lifted my
spirits. She tk ut a ntebk frm under the cunter and wrte my name as well as the item I wanted t buy n it, and in return I paid her five cents
frm my six cents pcket mney. It meant n candies that day but I didn’t care. At the age f nine, I made my very first installment (分期付款)and felt
like a grwn-up. Frm then n, every Saturday n my way t the cinema, I went t the shp and paid a few cents which the lady dutifully recrded n
her ntebk.
