Now satellites are helping to forecast the weather. They are in space, and they can reach any part of the world. The satellites take pictures of the atmosphere（大气）, because this is where the weather forms. They send these pictures to the weather stations. So meteorologists（气象学家）can see the weather of any part of the world. From the pictures, the scientists can often say how the weather will change.
Today, nearly five hundred weather stations in sixty countries receive satellite pictures. When they receive new pictures, the meteorologists compare them with earlier ones. Perhaps they may find that the clouds have changed during the last few hours. This may mean that the weather on the ground may soon change, too. In their next weather forecast, the meteorologists can say this.
So the weather satellites are a great help to the meteorologists. Before satellites were invented, the scientists could forecast the weather for about 24 or 48 hours. Now they can make good forecasts for three or five days. Soon, perhaps, they may be able to forecast the weather for a week or more ahead（提前）.Satellites travel _____________.

Mr Guo is a teacher from Xi'an．He asked his students to hand in their homework through a QR code （二维码）．"We spent an hour or two in class learning how to generate （使产生） the codes，and in the end everything gets easier，"said Guo．"When students finish the homework，they keep it on WeChat （微信）．Then，each student makes his own QR code and gives it to me．So I can check their work everywhere using my computer or telephone．"

Bike﹣sharing has swept across China，with an increasing number of people choosing bike riding instead of driving．The bike that the service company provides has GPS or Bluetooth on it，and those bikes can be easily unlocked with a smart phone and left anywhere in public．Bike﹣sharing allows people to borrow a bike from one place and return it at another place easily．
In some cities，we can see more and more people riding this kind of sharing﹣bikes．It's very convenient to use the bikes if you have a smart phone．First，you have to download such an APP on your smart phone．Then what you need to do is to find a nearest bike through the APP，scan the QR code on the bike or connect your phone with the bike over a Bluetooth wireless connection．You will find the bike can be unlocked itself．Then you can enjoy your trip．What's more，the greatest advantage of bike﹣sharing is that you can easily find one and never worry about where to park it．The cost of riding depends on the time that you spend．Normally，every hour you ride，you need to pay one yuan．It doesn't cost so much，does it？
At the same time，some people park the bikes in their own homes．Besides，some people don't value the bikes．Now service companies are trying to solve the problem like being stolen．
Technology and science have changed our social lifestyles．We have to say bike﹣sharing brings us more convenience without doubt．And we also hope that people can not only enjoy it but also put it to good use．
