More tigers are moving from Russia into northeastern China. This is because the environment is better for them to live in.
As human activities become less and the number of the wild animals is rising, tigers come to China for food.
Also, there is a cross-border corridor（跨境走廊）between China and Russia. It helps the tigers travel around freely. Data（数据）from a research team show that between 2013 and 2016, nearly 80 percent of the tigers moved across the corridor.
Besides, China started a number of projects to protect the tigers. As we all know, tigers need large areas to move around, so it’s important to build national parks. In 2021, the Northeast China Tiger and Leopard National Park was set up in Heilongjiang Province and Jilin Province. It covers around 14,100 square kilometers. The national park creates a shared home for the animals. As a result, the number of the tigers has grown.
One more reason is that experts from China and Russia work together to research on tiger protection. Many volunteers go to protect tigers around the forests every year. It’s believed that there will be more tigers in the near future.

When I was a little boy, I lived next to David. He liked to plant trees in his large yard on weekends. But the way he planted trees was quite different. He never watered his new trees. I asked him why he did so, and he said that watering trees would spoil them. “If you water the trees, each baby tree will grow weaker and weaker.” said David. He told me that watering these new trees would make roots（树根）shallow（浅）, but deep roots were very important for trees. I didn’t understand his words at that time.
Several years after I left home, I came back to visit my parents. When I walked by David’s house, I saw the trees that he planted. They are strong now. I suddenly realize that planting a tree is like raising a child. As a father of two children, I shouldn’t care for them too much. Instead, they should depend on themselves. In that case, whatever happens, they can make their own decisions.

Have you ever read Little Women by US writer Louisa May Alcott? The classic has been changed into plays, films and television programs many times because of its popularity since it came out in 1868. It tells a story of a mother raising her four daughters, while their dad is away fighting a war. Meg, the eldest, wants to live a better life very much. Jo, the second-born, wants nothing more than to be a writer. Beth is a sweet girl who loves music and always brings joy to others. The youngest daughter, Amy, dreams of being an artist. After reading Little Women, I have a feeling of warmth and kindness from the family.
In the following scene, the girls talk about what they can buy with the very little money they have. They feel hopeful about the future even though their dreams may not come true.
|
“I can’t expect anything from Mother or you. I know I only have one dollar with me. Although it isn’t that much, it works. I can at least buy the book Undine and Sintran for myself. I’ve wanted it so long,” said Jo. “I planned to spend mine on new music,” said Beth. “I shall get a nice box of drawing pencils. I really need them,” said Amy. “Mother didn’t say anything about our money, but she does wish us to get something. Let’s each buy what we need. I’m sure we work hard enough to make it,” cried Jo. |

Can you imagine what the human body in the future will be like? Our class had a discussion about it. Tiantian, an AI（artificial intelligence人工智能）robot, also joined us. Here are our guesses.
（1） Humans are now ten centimeters（厘米）taller than 150 years ago. So, in the future, people will probably be even taller. Why? Because most of us today have much better food than those in the past.
You must say that people will be stronger according to the first guess. （2） With the development of science and technology, we won’t have much physical work to do. If people get used to this kind of lifestyle, we will probably lose most of our muscles（肌肉）.
Next, let’s come to our hands and feet. We are already using our feet less, and our hands more. （3） At the same time, our fingers and our eyes will both get better because they’ll have to do more work together.
Here comes the most interesting one—it’s very possible that people will have four toes（脚趾）, not five. The little toe really isn’t needed anymore. （4） Let’s wait and see.
Last but not least—people won’t have as much hair on their bodies as now, since we don’t need it to keep ourselves warm.
What do you think of our guesses? （5） With the rise of AI, will we lose the ability of thinking independently?
