What subject d yu wrry abut the mst at schl? Many students wrry abut math. Sme students can’t sleep well the day befre a math exam. Others may feel very nervus during the exam itself. But there might be a way t make the subject less stressful.
“Fr students wh are wrried abut math, psture (姿势) makes a big difference,” Erik Peper, a researcher frm a university tld Daily Mail. That’s right—sitting up straight can help yu d better in math exams.
Researchers tested 125 cllege students. They asked them t d a math exam while sitting in a slumped-ver (趴倒的) psitin, r sitting up straight. After the test, 56% f the students said the exam was easier t d if they were sitting up straight.
Slumping ver is a defensive (防备的) psture. It can bring ut negative (消极的) memries in the bdy and brain. This can stp yu frm thinking clearly, Peper said.
Students wh were nt nervus abut taking the math exam didn’t necessarily benefit (受益) frm better psture. But they did find that ding math in a slumped-ver psitin was mre difficult, Science Daily reprted.
Gd psture isn’t just helpful fr taking math exams. Musicians, sprts players and public speakers can all benefit frm it. When yu feel stressed ut, yu can als try t sit up straight r stand tall. It can help yu feel mre psitive (积极的) and fcus better.

Thugh ceans cver abut 71 percent f the earth’s surface, there’s still a lt we dn’t knw abut them. Only abut 20 percent f the seaflr has been mapped, and the remaining 80 percent is still a secret t us. Sme scientists even think that 91 percent f sea animals have yet t be discvered.
S why d we knw s little abut the deep sea? Well, getting t thse depths is very difficult and requires high technlgy that simply didn’t cme int being fr mst f human histry. The first navigable submarine (可驾驶的潜水艇), fr example, was built in 1620, and it culdn’t g mre than five meters belw the surface. In fact, fr a lng time many scientists didn’t even think that there culd be any life at depths greater than 550 meters and didn’t see much need t explre (探索) the deep sea. Hwever, this changed in 1862 when life was discvered as far dwn as 945 meters belw sea level with the help f a digging machine. Ten years later, arund 4, 700 species (物种) unknwn befre frm the cean flr were discvered.
Since then, high technlgy has been develped t help explre the deep sea, including satellites. But why is deep-sea explratin still s difficult? Well, at greater depths it is freezing (极冷的), everything is cmpletely dark, and the pressure can be ver 1, 000 times greater than that n the surface.
Thugh we have the difficulties, it’s imprtant that we understand the seas. They help cntrl the earth’s temperature and prduce half f the xygen (O2) in the air. They can als prvide us with infrmatin abut climate change. Our future depends n learning mre abut ur ceans, and it is pssible fr us t really understand what is nging belw the surface.

A．T intrduce hw imprtant ceans are.
B．T discuss why sea animals have yet t be fund ut.
C．T explain that ceans cver a large area f the earth.
D．T shw that we have nly a little understanding f ceans.
32．What caused the change f explratin int the deep sea?
A．High technlgy.B．Unknwn species.

An ld saying used fr frecasting (预测) the weather says, “Red sky at night, sailrs’ delight. Red sky in the mrning, sailrs (水手) take warning.” Is the saying true? It turns ut that it is.

Pilts, farmers and many ther peple depend n these frecasts. Luckily, mst f us can simply lk n the smart phne r turn n the TV t find ut what kind f weather is cming.
If yu are lking fr sme signs f the weather, pay attentin t nature. There are tw basic rules used in weather frecasting: Weather generally mves frm west t east, and lw air pressure (压力) usually means rain r snw. S pay attentin t the signs.

A new study has suggested that the key t reducing feelings f anger is nt venting (letting the angry emtins ut) but ding calming activities such as yga r meditatin.
The study was published in March by Sphie Kjaervik and Brad Bushman frm Ohi State University in the US. They wanted t explre the ppular thery that venting (expressing) anger is a gd way f reducing it. Examples f venting anger include shuting r hitting smething like a cushin, s that yu let g f the emtin and therefre dn’t feel it any mre. The pair lked at 154 ther studies n anger. These invlved 10, 189 peple, and included a variety f ages and backgrunds. In their study, Kjaervik and Bushman define anger as “an emtinal respnse (反应) t a real r imagined threat (威胁)”. They used a thery f emtin (情绪假说) that says emtins are partly felt in yur bdy and partly in yur mind.
The scientists lked at the ther studies t see hw different activities influenced anger. They fund that activities such as running r bxing—which are ften thught t be gd fr dealing with anger—weren’t very gd at reducing it. In fact, sme f these activities actually made it wrse because they increased physical respnses in the bdy that are linked t feeling angry. Fr example, they made peple’s hearts beat faster. Hwever, activities that decreased physical respnses in the bdy did help t reduce feelings f anger. These included activities that slw the heart rate, such as deep breathing, meditatin and yga. Bushman says activities that increase physical respnses may be gd fr heart health but are “definitely nt the best way t reduce anger”.
The team fund jgging was mst likely t increase anger. Hwever, sme heart-rate increasing activities—like ball games and team sprts—culd reduce anger.

Talking t yurself, especially in the third persn, can help us manage bad feelings. “Talking t yurself in the third persn is like giving yurself advice,” said Jasn Mser, a prfessr (教授) frm Michigan State University, US. Mser uses himself in an example. He des nt like flying, but he has t fly ften fr his wrk. S when he is feeling nervus r afraid during a flight (航班), he talks t himself. “Well, yu knw, Jasn knws air travel is very safe. And Jasn has been n thusands f flights.” This can help us t see things frm a different aspect (角度), especially when we’re feeling sad r angry.

Wrldwide, there are mre than 1, 400 kinds f bats. Mst bats are insectivres, which means they eat insects. In a single night, bats can eat insects f “up t half their weight.” This is gd news fr farmers, since bats eat insects that harm crps. Accrding t the USFWS, the animals help U.S. farmers save mre than $3 billin a year in insect cntrl.

D kids need hmewrk? It depends. Sme readers frm a famus magazine, think that the extra（额外的）wrk reviews what they have learnt in class. And it als helps teachers find where students need mre help.

In rder t knw what kind f hmewrk kids shuld d and hw much kids need, the magazine interviewed several kids.

Kids need hmewrk. When they learn smething new in schl, reviewing it at hme helps them remember it. Our hmewrk gives ur teachers valuable infrmatin. It tells them hw much students are paying attentin in class and wh needs extra help.
Michael, 9
In my pinin, giving students hmewrk is a bad idea. After schl kids need experiences that build a healthy mind and bdy. Hmewrk is nt suppsed t stress kids ut. When there is t much hmewrk, students d prly in hmewrk. In fact, ding hmewrk prly is wrse than ding n hmewrk. As lng as students are wrking hard in class, it’s best nt t give them extra wrk.

Kids need hmewrk. But that depends. Middle and high schl students can d mre hmewrk. At my schl, primary students get hmewrk, but nt t much. My teacher might ask us t learn spelling wrds at hme, and each week we’ll be given a test.
Susan, 11
Kids dn’t need hmewrk. They’re learning fr six hurs a day at schl. Adding anther hur f wrk fr kids t d at hme is just having them repeat what they’ve been ding all day.

Daydreaming, called “thught experiments” by Einstein, can make yu have wild imaginings, like flying arund in space. It lets yur mind walk slwly arund ideas, memries and experiences that aren’t happening right nw. It means thinking ahead t a hliday r remembering hw much yu enjyed a birthday party.

Disappearing int a daydream lets yur mind escape when things are difficult. It helps yu deal with wrries and fears.

What wuld happen if yu tried t blw a sap (肥皂) bubble in belw-freezing weather? Wuld it freeze and fall t the grund? Wuld yu have t hit it with a stne t break it? These questins came int my mind ne cld winter day. It was t cld t play in the snw, but it was a perfect time t experiment with blwing frzen bubbles.
T blw frzen bubbles, I had t wait until the air utside was very cld. Fr this activity, that meant 10 degrees belw 0 Fahrenheit r clder. I didn’t have the bubble things that cme in a bttle, s I used dish-washing sap. Adding a drp f glycerin made the sap wrk even better. I chse a place ut f the wind, and blew bubbles the same way I always d. I watched t see what wuld happen. Here’s what I learned.
If the temperature is lw enugh, the skin f the bubble frsts (结霜) ver, becming cludy instead f clear. And what abut thse rainbw swirls (漩涡状物体) that yu see in sap bubbles? The rainbw clrs stay even (均匀的) when the bubbles frst, but they dn’t spin anymre. The bubbles still flat in the air. They dn’t fall t the grund any faster than they wuld n a warm summer day.
When these frzen bubbles break, they dn’t turn int tiny drps f sap as summer bubbles d. They turn int shiny rainbw pieces and fly slwly t the grund. Smetimes a frzen bubble will rll acrss the snw withut breaking. If it breaks, it may leave a strng bubble skin n the grund. Leave the bubble alne and it may stay there fr a lng time.
Smetimes I culd catch a bubble and hld it until the heat f my hand made it pp.
I learned ne ther thing abut blwing frzen bubbles. It’s s much fun. I want t try it again next year!

Yu need t build trust with yur team members. Think f ftball players: They aren’t just given a ball and tld t play. They practice, and they train.
Team can be hard, but wrking alne has its challenges, t. When my cmputer desn’t wrk, I dn’t have an IT persn t turn t. When I have a great idea, I dn’t have anyne t share it with t see if it really is a great idea. Dn’t get me wrng—I still like my team f ne and enjy making all f the imprtant decisins myself.

Chinese, Japanese and Krean all have simpler number wrds. They express math cncepts (概念) mre clearly than English. The language difference has drawn lts f attentin. Several recent studies have cnnected weaker math abilities f English-speaking children with English number wrds.
Chinese, fr example, has just ten basic number wrds. English, hwever, has mre than tw dzen (一打). The truble starts at 11. English has a wrd (eleven) fr that number. Chinese, Japanese and Krean have wrds that can be translated as ten-ne—spken with the ten first. That makes it easier fr these children t understand the place value (位值). And the students can easily see the number system cmes frm units f 10.
English number wrds ver 10 dn’t make the place value clear. Wrds fr numbers 13 t 19 change the rder f the nes and tens. Children ften mix 17 with 71. As a result, children wrking with English number wrds have a harder time ding difficult calculatins (运算). They make mre mistakes.
It als feels mre natural fr Chinese speakers than fr English speakers t use the make-a-ten methd. When adding tw numbers, Chinese students ften break dwn the numbers int parts and regrup them int tens and nes. Fr example, 9+5 becmes 9+1+4. This methd greatly helps students wrk ut math prblems. Many teachers in America are teaching their students the make-a-ten methd. Hwever, they are still having truble because f the unclear and difficult English number wrds.

D yu get in truble fr feeding yur dg n fd frm dinner under the table? A new study suggests that by sharing “peple fd”, yu might actually be helping t keep yur pet healthy.
Many dgs are fed dry prcessed fd. Science has shwn that a diet (饮食) f prcessed fd is nt healthy fr humans. Scientists frm the University f Helsinki, in Finland, say this diet is nt gd fr ur pet dgs, either.
The scientists discvered that the fds a dg might find in an wner’s hme such as eggs, fish, meat and vegetables may be better than a diet f just dg fd. This is because having different kinds f fds leads t mre variety (多样性) in micrbes, which are little living things, t small t be seen with ur eyes. There are millins f them in human and animal bdies. Sme are bad fr us, but many are gd fr us, and they play imprtant rles in helping us digest (消化)fd.

Well, maybe it’s time t intrduce yurself t the pwer f “yet”. By adding this simple wrd, yu can change everything. “I really dn’t understand this Maths prblem yet.” “I can’t get int the schl team yet.” Suddenly, the impssible becmes pssible. Yu can imagine thse things happening.
②I read abut a schl that has changed the way it marks its students’ exams. The schl find ut that the ld pass/ fail system wasn’t helping students’ mtivatin(积极性). If yu passed, then great, but thse students wh didn’t pass ften felt like failures. S nw students wh dn’t pass the exams will nt see a big red F n their papers; they see a “Nt yet” instead. That way the students feel that they are n a jurney. They haven’t reached the end, but they knw that they are ging the right way.

They dn’t think that they are able t change. Clearly, it is better t have a grwth mindset than a fixed mindset.
④But dn’t wrry if yu think that yu have a fixed mindset. ________. Remember that it all starts with questining the things yu believe abut yurself. Stp believing that yu can’t r yu haven’t and realize that yu just can’t r haven’t yet. Once yu start ding this, yu’ll wnder why yu didn’t d it befre. It’s ne small but very pwerful wrd.

Many f us have seen rainbws in the sky nce the sun starts shining again after it rains. Fr us t see a rainbw, the cnditins need t be just right. We need sme water drps in the air, like rain r even fg, and we need the sun t be behind us and quite lw t the grund. This is because a rainbw is created by light passing thrugh water drps.
The light that cmes frm the sun seems white t us. But the white light we see is made up f a mix f different clrs. When the light ges thrugh a raindrp, these clrs can separate ut. Each f the clrs in the rainbw has a different “wavelength” (波长). Raindrps lk like little balls. When light hits ne f these little balls f water, the light can change directin. We call this “refractin” (折射). Each f the different wavelengths is refracted differently. If the light hits the raindrp at the right place, the refractin separates the wavelengths ut int their different clrs.
We are taught there are seven clrs: red, range, yellw, green, blue, indig and vilet. But this isn’t exactly true. Blue and green are next t each ther in the rainbw, which is why we can see turquise (a mix f blue and green). Brwn is a mix f red and green. But they aren’t next t each ther in the rainbw, s we dn’t see them mix t make brwn.
We wuld never see black and white in a rainbw. Black is what we see when there’s n light at all. On the ther hand, white is a mix f all the clrs tgether. When light is refracted by raindrps, it separates the white light ut, meaning it is n lnger white.

Recently, a research n hw a new virtual reality (VR虚拟现实) experience educated children abut the fire disasters (灾害) was dne. The new VR experience was develped by the University f Suth Australia, hping t educate children t learn hw t be safe in a fire. It presents a situatin fr children aged 10—12. In the situatin, they are tasked t lk after a friend’s dg just befre a fire event begins. They take part in a set f prblem-slving activities t help save and prtect themselves and the dg.
The findings shwed that ver 80% f children culd calmly tell the advantages and disadvantages f different chices. They als learned t make wise decisins t prtect themselves frm a fire. Children thught it especially imprtant and meaningful, because 91% f them didn’t have knwledge f fires at the beginning, and 67% had said that they were t yung t make safety decisins in a fire.
The researchers believed such VR experiences made it pssible t engage, educate and empwer the yung. “As children brn in mdern times, they are interested in such technlgy and they can experience events in a real situatin yet within the safe envirnment,” said Delene Weber, ne f the researchers. “Well-designed VR can prvide children with surprisingly valuable learning tls.” Meanwhile, because children have fewer life experiences, aren’t as physically strng, and are less likely t have learned much abut fire safety, they’re ften mst at risk. Hwever, the rle that children play in the fire safety at their hmes shuld nt be underestimated (低估). “Children dn’t need t be always waiting fr help in disasters. With these VR experiences, we can make children understand the risks and realize they can help,” said Weber.
310．What’s the purpse f the new VR experience?
A．T describe children’s reactins t fire disasters.
B．T teach children t save themselves in a fire.
C．T intrduce ways f aviding a fire t children.

Warming temperatures and shrter winters might sund like the end f snw days. Hwever, rising temperatures may actually cause snwstrms t dump mre snw, says David Rbinsn. He is a prfessr at a university in New Jersey. He studies climate (气候) change.
Temperature change is ne f the greatest in Earth’s climate change ver a lng perid f time. It can happen naturally r because f human activities, such as burning gas and cal. Burning these fuels prduces carbn dixide (二氧化碳) and ther pllutants int the atmsphere, which hld heat in the atmsphere, leading t warmer glbal temperatures ver time.
But hw culd warmer temperatures lead t mre snw? T get snw, yu need misture (水汽) and freezing temperatures (0℃ r less), says Rbinsn. Withut misture in the air, there is n precipitatin (rain r snw). Rbinsn says there are signs that snwstrms are becming strnger. This is because f this cnnectin between misture and precipitatin.
“The warmer the air becmes, the mre misture it hlds. S, if it’s warming and still cld enugh t snw, yu can get mre snw,” Rbinsn says.
Of the 10 biggest snwfalls in D．C． regin, five happened in the past 25 years, accrding t the NWS. During that same time perid, average winter temperatures in D．C． increased. In 1996, the average winter temperature was 1.8℃. In 2020, it was 6℃.
Weather experts suggest that rising temperatures may make winter shrter and less cld. But fr nw, the snw is still falling. One day, winter might nt have any days belw the freezing temperature. Once temperatures stay abve freezing, snwstrms becme rain. Until then, we might cntinue t see strng strms.
Accrding t Rbinsn, that time culd cme sner than we think. He says, “When we lk back, years frm nw, we may see that this was the breaking pint.”

A garden is much mre than just creating a beautiful envirnment. It can be a way t save r even make mney and, mre than that, it can be a place where yu can express yurself. Fr me, it’s a bit f all these things. I knw it may sund strange fr a 13-year-ld girl t be interested in gardening, but I have always been and I wuld lve t make a career (职业) ut f it.
I have learned many things these past few years. I have been reading abut and ding sme gardening. S, here is my tp advice abut gardening. First, yu d nt need t spend a lt f mney t have a beautiful garden. Sme f the gardens that I think are the prettiest are just lines f plants. There aren’t many garden decratins (装饰) and pathways. It’s just beautiful plants with fruits and vegetables. We can als find many useful things fr free, frm pieces f ld wd t ld pts and pans. Or, we can build things fr free frm materials that ther peple have thrwn away.
If yu just remember that planting what is mre than yu need will take the stress away f lsing sme plants, yu will save yurself a lt f wrry, t. Besides, yu need t ask yurself which plants prduce enugh fd t make them wrth grwing. I actually sat dwn and did the maths n that ne this spring. It amazed me what sme plants were wrth. A tmat, fr example, can prduce £50-£150 wrth f fruit. It takes up a lt f space but that’s a lt f mney cming ut f a 50-pence seed (种子)! S if I had knwn earlier what each plant culd save us, I wuld have tld my parents t fill ur garden with different plants.
And finally, gardening desn’t have t be all r nthing. But then I guess that’s mre f a persnality weakness than anything. I struggle with ding things a little at a time. Once I decide t d smething, I usually devte every waking hur t it fr a little while and then get tired. S it’s kay t just have ne tmat plant, and it’s kay t have an ff year. It will save yu a lt f stress.

The study, which invlved giving the birds a cmputer that they culd use t make vide calls, fund that they began t engage in mre scial behavirs including preening, singing and playing. The birds were given a chice f which “friend” t call n a tuchscreen cmputer and the study shwed that the parrts that called ther birds mst ften were the mst ppular chices.
Ilyena Hirskyj-Duglas, f the University f Glasgw and a c-authr f the study, said that vide calls had helped many peple feel less islated in the last few years. She added, “There are 20 millin parrts living in peple’s hmes in the USA, and we wanted t explre whether thse birds might benefit (受益) frm vide calling t. If we gave them the chance t call ther parrts, wuld they chse t d s, and wuld the experience benefit the parrts and their caregivers?”
Their study f 18 pet parrts suggested that there were, indeed, benefits fr the birds. In the wild, many species f parrts live in large grups, but as pets they are, kept alne r in a small grup. Living alne can cause birds, t develp mental prblems, which include rcking, walking back and frth, r self-harming behavirs such as feather-plucking.
The parrts first learned t ring a bell and then tuch a pht f anther bird n the screen f a cmputer t make a call t that bird, with the help f their wners. In ttal the birds made 147 calls t each ther during the study, while wners tk detailed ntes n the birds’ behavir and the researchers later reviewed the vide ftage.
Jennifer Cunha f Nrtheastern University said that the parrts “seemed t knw” that they were cmmunicating with ther birds. “All the bird wners in the study said they valued the experience, and wuld want t cntinue using the system with their parrts in the future,” she said.
“I was quite surprised at s many different behavirs,” said Hirskyj-Duglas. “Sme wuld sing, sme wuld play arund and g upside dwn, thers wuld want t shw anther bird their tys.”

When cnsidering the kind f experience that makes life better, mst peple first think that happiness depends n experiencing pleasure: gd fd, gd jbs, all the cmfrts that mney can buy. If we culdn’t have these, we might as well sit in frnt f the televisin n a quiet evening.
Pleasure is an imprtant part f the quality f life, but by itself it desn’t bring happiness. When peple think further abut what makes a wrthy life, they tend (倾向于) t mve beynd pleasant memries and begin t remember ther events, ther experiences that verlap (有重叠) pleasurable nes but fall int a grup with a separate name: enjyment. Enjyable events take place when peple have nt nly satisfied a need r met sme earlier expectatin, but als achieved smething unexpected.
Enjyment is characterized by a sense f curisity, f achievement. Playing a tennis game that imprves ne’s ability is enjyable, as is reading a bk that shws things in a new light, as is having a cnversatin that leads us t express ideas we didn’t knw we had. Nne f these experiences may be especially pleasurable when they are taking place, but when we think back n them afterwards, we wuld say, “That really was fun” and wish they wuld happen again. After an enjyable event we knw that we have changed, and grwn.
Experiences that give pleasure can als give enjyment, but the tw feelings are quite different. Fr example, everybdy takes pleasure in eating. Hwever, t enjys fd is mre difficult — yu have t pay enugh attentin t a meal, s as t sense and tell its varius tastes. As this example suggests, we can experience pleasure withut any psychic energy, while enjyment happens nly as a result f full attentin. A persn can feel pleasure withut any effrt, as lng as certain parts in his brain are stimulated (刺激). But it’s impssible t enjy a tennis game r a bk withut full attentin. It’s fr this reasn that pleasure des nt last lng, nr des it make us grw. Grwth requires full attentin t gals that are new, that are relatively challenging.
Withut enjyment, life will g n, and it can even be pleasant. But it depends heavily n luck and the external (外部的) envirnment. T achieve persnal cntrl ver the quality f experience, hwever, we need t learn hw t build enjyment int what happens day in, day ut.

If yu see smene fall dwn suddenly, perhaps as a result f a heart attack, what can yu d while yu wait fr prfessinal help?
Chen Wenqiachu set a gd example when he was furteen. He perfrmed CPR (心肺复苏术) n a staff persn at his schl, saving the man’s life in 2013. Accrding t medical experts, there is a “glden perid” — the first fur minutes f a heart attack. During this time, CPR is best fr saving the persn’s life.
In August, 2020, all public schls natinwide were asked t prvide CPR curses in China, as part f health educatin. CPR is nt hard t grasp. All that ne needs t knw is hw t watch and decide if a persn has a heart attack, where t press n the patient’s chest (胸), and hw t blw air thrugh the muth and int the lungs (肺) .
Unluckily, less than ne percent f Chinese adults have mastered the skill f CPR, while many have never heard f it. A 2019 survey frm China Yuth Daily shwed that althugh 64.6% f schls pened health educatin curses, the teaching results were nt satisfactry.
Zha Shengyu, a graduate frm a high schl, remembered her first time t be taught CPR in the class. “N mdel, vide r practice was included. I realized the acts I had been taught had lts f mistakes after I was trained anther time in a medical schl,” she said. Accrding t her wn experience, Zha said mre prfessinal CPR curses in schls were necessary.
Mst cuntries have attached imprtance t CPR training. It was shwn in a survey in 2017 that mre than half f Americans had received CPR training. Switzerland, Germany, France and sme ther cuntries have als prvided CPR training.

In the near future, the dctrs wh treat ur illness might be tiny machines that swim thrugh ur bdies. Sme mvies have played with the idea f making machines the size f a cell (细胞). Tday rbt technlgy has brught the idea clser t the real life. In my labratry, I’m just trying t build such intelligent, r smart, tiny rbts.
Tiny living things, such as bacteria (细菌), have many intelligent actins. If we can make rbts cpy sme f them, it’s very exciting. The way bacteria travel acrss their envirnment is unbelievable. At first, they mve arund withut purpse, but when they start sensing fd, like an amin acid (氨基酸), they will mve gradually in that directin. As an expert making rbts, I think it is great t make tiny rbts that can d the same thing.
Fr example, lk at smething like E. cli (大肠杆菌). It can sense amin acids arund it. It can change hw it’s mving. It can rebuild r repair itself. In fact, E. cli des all these s well that sme researchers are using it as part f their tiny machines. They are making their tiny rbts get free rides frm E. cli. And E. cli des all the sensing fr tiny rbts and directs their mvements.
We’re already using smaller and smaller medical tls, like catheters (导管) that can travel deep int yur brain t treat a bld clt (血块). Next, we will put tiny rbts int the bdy that can travel int even smaller spaces and treat illness at an early time. Imagine a tiny rbt that can treat a bld clt deep in yur brain that can’t be reached with the catheters we are using tday.
We may nt actually need smething as pwerful as artificial intelligence (AI) in these cases. We can still build a very useful tiny rbt with a lw degree f intelligence. Fr example, if a tiny rbt ntices a bld clt, it can slwly mve in that directin, and carry medicine directly t that part. It might nly have the intelligence f bacteria but culd still wrk.

D yu get in truble fr feeding yur dg n fd frm dinner under the table? A new study suggests that by sharing “peple fd”, yu might actually be helping t keep yur pet healthy.
Many dgs are fed dry prcessed fd. Science has shwn that a diet (饮食) f prcessed fd is nt healthy fr humans. Scientists frm the University f Helsinki, in Finland, say this diet is nt gd fr ur pet dgs, either.
The scientists discvered that the fds a dg might find in an wner’s hme such as eggs, fish, meat and vegetables may be better than a diet f just dg fd. This is because having different kinds f fds leads t mre variety (多样性) in micrbes, which are little living things, t small t be seen with ur eyes. There are millins f them in human and animal bdies. Sme are bad fr us, but many are gd fr us, and they play imprtant rles in helping us digest (消化)fd.
A ttal f 8,500 yung pet dgs tk part in the study. 4,500 f them were under 6 mnths ld, and the rest were between 6 and 18 mnths ld. The wners were asked abut what fds they had fed their pets and hw ften. When the dgs reached adulthd, their wners reprted that abut 20% f the dgs shwed CE symptms (慢性肠胃不适症状) such as weight lss. Hwever, if dgs had been fed a mixed diet while yung, it was 22% less pssible fr them t experience CE symptms later in life.

As the cards were cllected, they were put in alphabetical rder (A—Z). When this was dne, there wuld be several hundred cards fr each single wrd.
Then, t define (定义) a wrd, the dictinary writer placed its hundreds f cards befre him. He read the cards clsely, threw away sme, read the rest again, and divided up the cards accrding t what he thught were the cmmn uses f the wrd.

Accrding t Ken Crswell, the Sun and the Mn are different. We ften think that the Sun rules the day and the Mn rules the night. That’s kind f right, but nt ttally.
The Sun shines all the time. It shines during the day when we see it, and even at night when we dn’t.
As the Earth turns, smetimes we face the Sun. That’s when we get day. When the Earth’s spin (自转) turns us away frm the Sun and we are in the Earth’s shadw, we get night. When peple n the ppsite side f the Earth face the Sun, thse peple have day while we have night.

Nw, mre and mre peple have difficulties in falling asleep. “In fact, we can train ur brain t fall asleep,” says sleep expert Michael Grandner. Here are his tp ways.
Make a plan and stick t it.
Melatnin (褪黑素) is prduced by the bdy t cntrl when yu get sleepy and when yu wake up. As night falls, the levels f melatnin rise, telling the bdy that it’s time fr bed. And the levels naturally fall as daylight cmes near, getting yu ready t greet the day.
The release (释放) f melatnin needs t be at regular (有规律的) times. S if yur bedtime and wake-up time change frm day t day, yur bdy desn’t knw hw t respnd (回应). S it’s imprtant t have a regular bedtime and wake up time, even n weekends.

It’s ften said, “Yu can’t live nly n air.” But nw the Chinese scientists can tell yu: Maybe yu can.
Recently, sme Chinese scientists have made a big breakthrugh (突破). They turned CO2 int starch (淀粉).
Starch is the main part f rice and crn that we eat every day. Usually, it’s created by plants with CO2, water and sunlight. Accrding t the team’s directr Ma Yanhe, it takes the plants nearly sixty steps t prduce starch. But nw, the team, after six years f hard wrk, has fund a simpler way t d this, with nly eleven steps.
“Our study shws that creating smething like starch is pssible in a labratry, and this technlgy may be helpful in many areas,” said Ma.
The scientists first turned CO2 and hydrgen (氢气) int methanl (甲醇). Then they made these methanl mlecules (分子) int bigger and mre cmplex (复杂的) mlecules. Finally the starch came ut.
This methd makes it pssible t prduce fd in factries instead f traditinal farming. This will nt nly help make plenty f fd, but als save water and land. It may als help recycle CO2 t deal with climate (气候) change, accrding t China Daily.
The study can be helpful in space, t. Astrnauts may n lnger need t wrry abut their fd as they travel in space. They may simply turn the CO2 they breathe ut int the fd they eat!

What des it mean t be green? Green is mre than just a clr. It als means taking special steps t prtect the envirnment. Buying a green prduct is a small step everyne can take. Deciding whether a prduct is green, hwever, isn’t always easy. We need t cnsider the whle life cycle f the prduct even after it’s f n use. Here is what we may keep in mind.
The materials f a prduct are usually ur first fcus (关注). What is it made f? Are there any harmful chemicals in it? Green prducts are made f mre natural materials which are free frm harmful chemicals, s they can be gd fr ur physical health.
Packaging is imprtant. Hw is a prduct packaged? Is it ver packaged? We’d better chse glass, metal and paper packaging, as these can be reused r mre easily recycled (回收利用). We can als lk fr less packaging r even chse unbagged prducts whenever pssible.
Lcatin (地点) matters. Where was a prduct prduced? Where are we buying it? Think abut hw much energy was used t get it t us try t chse lcal prducts. When it cmes t fd, it is a gd idea t rder directly frm lcal farmer, shp at markets and buy fruits in seasn. Buying frm stres near ur huses is als a gd chice, because we can g there withut driving a car.
Lk int what the cmpany tells us abut their prduct. It’s easy t say that a prduct is “green” r “all natural” but the wrds may be t gd t be true. S, much f the infrmatin abut a prduct shuld be taken with a grain f salt. After all, cmpanies try t make us believe that their prducts are envirnmentally respnsible.
The greenest thing is certainly the ne we dn’t buy. Things like fd and clthing are necessary fr life. But many thers are nt. Better than buying is chsing t leave an unnecessary prduct in the stre and ding withut. It sends a message t the prducer, keeps mney in ur pckets, reduces (减少) waste and keeps the planet healthy.
131．The writer wuld suggest chsing a prduct that is ________.
A．ver packagedB．delivered frm abrad
C．lcally prducedD．made f unnatural materials
132．The wrds “be taken with a grain f in salt” Paragraph 5 prbably mean “________”.

Have yu ever watched a shw abut the wild? A shark (鲨鱼) eats a seal! Lins run dwn a gazelle! Is all nature like that? All abut eating and bld? Or is that just what keeps ur eyes glued t the TV screen? Let’s lk at snic living things wh wrk with each ther instead f ripping each ther apart.
When a lin kills a gazelle, it wants t eat as much as it can and maybe share the rest with its family. There are sme living things that will take small pieces f anther living thing’s bdy. Parasitism is when ne living thing gets its energy frm anther living thing, des nt give anything back, and hurts the thing it’s taking things frm.
Nw let’s get a little nicer. Smetimes a living thing will live ff the bdy f anther living thing withut hurting it. They d nt steal anything. They d nt bite. Cmmensalism is when tw living things live tgether and ne gets gd things ut f it while the ther is nt hurt by it. Have yu seen a picture f a whale (鲸) with rcky white things stuck t its skin? Thse are barnacles(藤壶). They attach themselves t the whale, s nthing will try t eat them and they can eat things that flat by.
Nw let’s get really nice. While sharks are biting and lins are fighting, are there any animals that just get alng? Yes! Actually, there are many. Mutualism is when tw living things wrk tgether and bth get gd things ut f it. Bees and flwers are the mst cmmn example. Withut flwers, bees culd nt make hney. Withut bees, flwers culd nt make new seeds. It’s win-win fr these tw. There are lts f animals that get alng. Birds will live n the backs f zebras and eat the ticks that are drinking the zebra’s bld.

Chinese nine linked rings puzzleIt’s believed that the nine linked rings puzzle was created in the Western Han Dynasty. And it is usually made up f nine rings cnnected t a handle (手柄). Players have t remve (移除) all the rings frm the handle t win the game. This is nt a simple game. The slutin takes 341 mves, s lts f patience is required. But if yu learn t slve it, it’s hard t frget.
TangramFirst ppular in the Ming and Qing dynasties, the tangram is a puzzle made up f seven pieces f different shapes. Fr each puzzle, players need t use all the pieces t make a shape. T d it, they have t knw abut gemetry (几何学). In the 18th century, the tangram was brught t the West and sn became ppular there.
Luban lckThe Luban lck was first created by Lu Ban 2,000 years ag. The lck has a lt t d with slid gemetry (立体几何). It’s hard t separate the six pieces. Hwever, it is usually easier t unlck a Luban lck than t put it back tgether. Nw, there are Luban lcks made up f nine r mre pieces.
A thery f emtinTw scientists called Stanley Schachter and Jerme Singer develped the tw-factr thery f emtin in 1962. They said that emtins are frmed in tw parts. First, the bdy has a physical respnse t a threat and then the mind cnsiders the physical respnse as an emtin, which is then felt by the persn. Fr example, imagine yu are walking thrugh a frest and yu see a bear. Seeing it wuld prbably start a physical respnse, such as yur heart beating very fast and sweat breaking ut. Yur mind then decides that this is fear, which yu feel as an emtin.

Let’s talk abut ur cuntry’ high technlgy!
I have taken C919. It’s a large passenger plane made in China. The letter “C” stands fr China. The first “9”means “frever” in Chinese culture and the “19” stands fr 190 seats.
Lk at the picture. Its name is Striver. It can dive (潜水) t a depth f 10909 meters. It’s unbelievable, isn’t it?
This is BeiDu Navigatin (导航) Satellite System (BDS). It is widely used all ver the wrld. If yu want t g smewhere, just pen the app and enter the destinatin.
Technlgy is the first pwer!It is a great jy and a matter f pride t see China’s high technlgy is brightly shining frm the sky t the grund.
It is widely knwn that China has well-develped high-speed railway netwrk (铁路网) in the wrld. Nw, the cuntry is breaking its wn speed recrd with the CR450. The CR450 can travel at a tp speed f 453 kilmeters an hur. Once put int use, it will take just abut 2.5 hurs t travel frm Beijing t Shanghai, which takes at least 4.5 hurs at the mment. Even thugh it can travel s fast, it can als start braking (刹车) quickly, taking just 1.7 secnds, and its nise level keeps lw. It creates a safe and cmfrtable envirnment fr passengers. With the advantages, the CR450 shws China’s leading rle and great pwer t the wrld.
The AG60E is China’s self-develped lightweight tw-seat electric plane. It is 6.9 meters lng, 2.6 meters high and 8.6 meters wide. It is mainly designed fr pilt training, flight experience, and private travel. It uses an electric pwer system. Cmpared with the traditinal plane, it desn’t send ut greenhuse gases, and its nise level is much lwer. The AG60E electric plane draws the wrld’s attentin, fr it is a practice f China’s aviatin industry (航空工业) twards air pllutin. The AG60E is nly a starting pint. It is expected t becme an imprtant frce t achieve green and lw-carbn develpment in the field f aviatin.
N ne knws wh invented pencils r when it happened. A Swiss described a pencil in a bk in 1565. He said it was a piece f wd with lead inside it. (Lead is a very heavy, sft, dark gray metal.) Pencils weren’t ppular, and peple cntinued t write with pens. They used bird feathers as pens.
Then, in 1795, smene started making pencils frm graphite (石墨), and they became very ppular. One pencil can write 50,000 English wrds r make a line 55 kilmeters lng.
Peple wrte with feather pens and then used pens with metal pints. They had t dip (蘸) the pint int ink after every few letters. Next, smene invented a funtain pen that culd hld ink inside it. A funtain pen can write several pages befre yu have t fill it again.
Tw Hungarian brthers, Ladisla and Gerg Bir, invented the ballpint pen. English pilts liked the pens. They culdn’t write with funtain pens in airplanes because the ink leaked ut. Later, a French cmpany called Bic bught the Birs’ cmpany.
Sme peple call ballpint pens “Bics.” Australians call them “Birs.” Whatever we call them, we use them every day.
Knw the gals
Make sure everyne understands the gal f the prject. If yu’re ding a class prject, yu need t check the teacher’s instructins carefully and ask questins whenever smething isn’t clear. There’s a ppular saying: If yu dn’t knw where yu’re ging, yu prbably wn’t get there.
Assign (指派) rles
Everyne shuld have a rle in the team. Fr example, there shuld be a leader wh helps everyne make decisins. There might be a nte-taker wh writes dwn the team’s ideas during meetings, and a time-keeper t cntrl the time. There might als be a fact-checker r a grup speaker.
Divide the wrk
Fr large prjects, the wrk can be divided int smaller tasks. Then yu can chse tasks that yu d well r enjy. Of curse, yu shuldn’t always d the same task. It’s gd t try new things, even if they’re difficult!
Make a plan
After yu divide the wrk, write dwn a plan n paper. Yu can use a calendar t help yu. List all the tasks and think abut when each ne must be finished. It’s imprtant fr everyne t fllw the plan. And if yu can’t finish yur part n time, tell the thers as sn as pssible.
