You don' t have to be a scientist to solve big environmental problems. One Dutch designer is finding creative ways to make a change﹣and he's inviting bikers to join him.

    Daan Roosgaarde, 38, is a designer from Holland. He uses creative ideas to improve city life. For his Smog (雾霾) Free Project, he designed a special tower that cleans air in Chinese parks. In Holland, he designed a shining bicycle path.

    Now Daan and his team are working with engineers at Chinese bike﹣sharing company Ofo to create a new product for public use. It's an air﹣cleaning machine connected to a bicycle and is part of the Smog Free Project. In smoggy weather, the machine would breathe in the air in front of the bike and blow out a stream of clean air toward the biker's face.

    It's no secret that air pollution is a big problem for China. In winter, it's common for thick clouds of haze (霾), caused largely by factory production, burning of coal and car emissions (排放物), to cover areas of China.

    In 2016, only one﹣fourth of Chinese cities met the country's air quality standards, according to a survey of 338 cities nationwide from the Ministry of Environmental Protection.

   "Of course one tower and a few bikes won't solve China's air pollution problem," Daan said, "But smog﹣free bikes are an exciting idea that will hopefully inspire communities to create greener cities."

A. air pollution is not a big problem in China

(2)The air﹣cleaning machine offers clean air to the hiker by

A. people who have creative ideas can get free bikes

B. only smog﹣free bikes can go on the shining bicycle path

C. Daan and his family spent all their time improving China's air quality

D. China's haze in winter happens because of more than three causes

(4)Daan is inviting bikers to join him in order to  

A. raise money for the tower

Have you ever heard of Monkey College? Who do you think goes to school there? If you said monkeys, you were right. Dogs are not the only animals that can be trained to help. Helping hands an organization in Cambridge, Massachusetts, trains capuchin monkeys to be companions and helpers for people in wheelchairs who can't move their arms or legs.

    More than 20 years ago, Dr. M. J. Willard was working with a person who had recently become paralyzed(瘫痪). She thought that a monkey might be able to help her patient with some basic housework. Dr. Willard was right. Not only can monkeys be trained to help people, they are also wonderful companions.

    Everyday tasks, like turning on a light, putting something in the microwave, or playing a CD player, can be difficult for someone who cannot use his or her arms and legs. Capuchin Monkeys can easily perform these tasks. This allow their owners more freedom. They can do things on their own and can live independently.

    The monkeys and their owners become friends and learn to depend on each other. Some owners say the monkeys are almost like children to them. The monkeys can be mischievous and sometimes like to play tricks on their owners. This is especially true of young monkeys. Mostly ,though, they like to please their owners. They like the tricks they receive when they do a good job, and they like to be praised.

My family had a great summer in France. We have seen so many new things and met so many wonderful people. The French are very friendly. They have helped us get used to living here and have made us feel welcome. There are so many things to share with all of you.

    The best parts of the summer was getting to see the Tour de France. It is the most famous bicycle race in the world. It's held every July. The riders travel more than two thousand miles over about a month!We got a quick look at the riders as they passed by! After the race,our family rented bikes,and we rode along part of the route that the riders used.

    A few of you asked whether the French really eat snails(蜗牛). The answer is yes. We went out to dinner a few weeks ago,and our parents ordered them. We each tried one and it didn't taste too bad. The snails are served with lots of melted butter. They feel a little rubbery when you eat them,but they don't actually have much taste. My favorite food here is the French pastries(酥饼). My sister loves the fresh bread from the bakery down the street.

    We went to visit the Eiffel Tower a few weeks ago. We went all the way to the top. It was a sunny day,so we could see for miles and miles into the distance. Dad doesn't like heights,so he stayed at the bottom of the tower and took pictures from the ground.

Many kids help their parents with chores, such as doing the dishes, cleaning the living room and taking out the rubbish. And some kids get money or other rewards(奖赏) such as more computer time by doing chores.

But some people do not think that kids should get rewards by doing chores. Susie Walton.an expert, believes that by rewarding kids, parents are sending a message that work isn't important unless you can get something. "Running any kind of family is a team work," Walton says. "A home is a living place for everyone in the family. It's important for kids to see that we all have responsibilities in the house."

Other people believe that getting money or other rewards makes kids do chores happily and it also teaches them real world lessons about what we need to do to make money. There are also now apps(应用软件). With the Chore﹣Monster app, kids can get points and online gifts by doing chores. Kids can change them into real life rewards either online or in the real world. "We hope kids can do more chores so they can get more rewards," one man says.

The number of buses,taxis and other transportations on Kenya's roads is growing every day.

    Now,the country's first electric﹣powered motorbike is being made.The motorbike is designed(设计)to cut down on pollution. It's much cheaper so that most of people can afford it.

    Most motorbikes used in Kenya depend on gas as fuel(燃料), but not this new motorbike. Its energy comes from sunlight.

    Three university students developed the new motorbike. It receives the sun's energy,stores it in batteries (蓄电池) and uses it to charge (充电) the electric motorbike.

    Robert Achoge is one of the student inventors."Our hope is that by the fifth year,we will be able to cover the whole Kenya with the electric motorbike in order to improve the environment and provide affordable transport. "

    The students have set up a fueling station for the motorbikes in Nairobi. Riders can charge the motorbikes in the station. The small battery can run for 70 kilometers when they're fully charged. Once the power is used up, the motorbike has to return to the fueling station while another charged battery is connected to the motorbike. The US African Development Foundation is providing some money for two solar﹣powered charging stations in the Kenyan port of Kisumu.

    Each motorbike costs about ﹩700. One motorbike rider says the new motorbike costs less to ride than motorbikes running on traditional fuel." When talking about buying fuel, there is no need. It's basically good for everyone. Even though you won't carry quite a heavy load,you can go with it anywhere."

What does it take to graduate from university?Some papers or high scores in exams?Well,these are not enough if you are a student at Tsinghua University.

     According to a new rule of the university,students must prove(证明)themselves in the swimming pool.They need to pass a swimming test of at least 50 meters,and those who fail the test will be required to take a swimming course throughout their school years.By the time they graduate,they will have known how to swim;otherwise they can't graduate with their bachelor's degrees(学士学位).

     In fact,this is not a new rule.Tsinghua University first made swimming a requirement in1919 but later gave it up because the number of students became too large and there were not enough swimming pools in the school for them to learn swimming.

In the eyes of many foreigners,Chinese are the best hosts and the worst guests in the world.And western hosts sometimes look rude(粗鲁的)in the eyes of Chinese guests.It is because the guest﹣host relationship in China is quite different from that in some western countries.

     In China,guests are almost like gods.Whenever I enter a Chinese friend's home,there is always fruit on the table for me,and someone is quick to bring me a cup of tea or water.In the west,generally the guest is not a god.Acting according to the host's way of doing things is usual behavior for a guest.

     My wife's mother,a very kind Chinese lady,doesn't smoke.When I see some of her guests smoking in her house,as a non﹣smoker,I feel unhappy.Usually,I want to stop them directly,but I must realize that in China,to be a good host,she must not do that.

     In most North American homes,if you are a guest,and the hosts are not smokers,you should not smoke in their house.At the very least,you should ask,"Is it OK if I smoke?"But don't be surprised if they say,"No,you can't smoke."In my culture,if you smoke in their house,you are a bad guest,but if they don't allow you to smoke in their house,they are not rude hosts.

     In a word,no matter where you are,the best way to be a good guest is to adapt to(适应)the habits of your hosts.

Earlier this year, China achieved a new milestone(里程碑)in space exploration. On Jan 3,Chang'e 4 became the first space probe(探测器)in history to successfully land on the far side(dark side) of the moon. After a 26﹣day journey, it touched softly down on a crater. The whole process of landing lasted 12 minutes, which opened a new page in history of mankind's space exploration.

     The far side of the moon is the side that we can not see. We don't know much about it. This landing is of great importance. The far side of the moon is an ideal(理想的) place forscientific research. It may have unique minerals(矿物质)and other resources. Scientists can make clearer observations of deep space from there.

     Chang'e 4 has sent back photos of the far side of the moon. It is also being used to carry out experiments. The data(数据) collected from these experiments could be used to help us build a base on the moon in the future. The success of the Chang'e 4 mission(任务) is a major achievement for China's space program.

     China launched its lunar (月球的)exploration program in 2004, naming it Chang'e.Chinese scientists set three goals﹣﹣"orbiting(环绕运行), landing and sample(样本)returning". Chang'e 4 has realized the second goal. The third will be achieved during the Chang'e 5 mission, which is set to take place before the end of this year.
