A new contact lens（隐形眼镜片）has been developed by scientists from America，Britain and China.It can check for illnesses at any time by examining chemicals in tears.A new sensor（感应器）is used to achieve his purpose.
Scientists hope that the improvement could help to deal with sudden medical events.Dr.Zhao Yunlong said， "COVID﹣19 has had a great influence on the scientific world.And we are doing research to help people deal with similar events in the future."
When introducing the new contact lens，Dr.Guo Shiqi，a researcher at Harvard，said，"In the past，the sensor was put between the layers（层）of the lens.It didn't have direct contact（接触）with tears，But our new sensor is smaller and smarter.I t can be fixed to a lens and keep direct contact with tears.What's more，it causes no discomfort to the eye.
The contact lens has not been put to the market，but researchers are quite sure that it will be welcomed.It is especially useful for the old and those who may experience sudden medical events.
As society develops，scientists are supposed to develop more products that provide care and convenience（便利）for people.The contact lens is one of what they are researching on.Earlier，a California company developed another kind of contact lens using LED technology.It can show the heath information on the mobile phone.Steve Sinclair，head of the company，said， "We have to build something that helps you when you need it and stays of when you don't need it."

When Yi Xiaoyang was two，he fell in love with skiing（滑雪）.His first time on snow，however，wasn't successful.He slept on the ski lift until the coach found him.He started to learn how to ski from then on.Yi was a fast learner，and at the age of six，he began to ski in other parts of the world.
In 2015，Beijing got the chance to hold the 2022 Winter Olympic Games.Yi felt it hopeful to take part in the Olympics.He decided to take training courses like a professional athlete（职业运动员）.
As a student，Yi has to take classes like others.At the same time，he has to train full day on weekends and half day on Tuesday，Wednesday and Thursday.In summer，the training goes on.
At the beginning，that was a big challenge（挑战）. "When I started to train like an athlete，everything seemed to change， "said Yi， "I lost my interest.I even got angry with my coaches.They talked to my parents and decided to give me a one﹣week break from training. "
Luckily，during that break，he picked up his joy in skiing. "I found that skiing had already become one important part of me， "said Yi.After that，he moved back on his fight for his dreams.

Newspapers are dying.Electronic devices like mobile phones，pads，TVs and car radios can all be the killers.Most people believe in the long run，there is no reason• no practical reason for newspapers to survive.No matter what we do may only buy time.
Can anything save newspapers？I decided to have a try.
Many years ago，Bonnier，a Swedish publisher，set a newspaper in the former Soviet countries .After a few years，they had more newspapers in central and eastern Europe.However，these newspapers were run by a group of inexperienced people，and they didn't have enough money.In many places there were not even art directors.
I got a position in Bonnier's newspaper as an art director.
It was very difficult at first.I was really disappointed，until one day，in Londonn，when I saw performance by Cirque du Soleil. "These guys took some run﹣down entertainment，and put it to the highest possible level of performance art.M Inspiration lighted me up， "Why can't we do the same with the newspapers.We started to redesign the newspapers，one by one.
We used our imagination.We treated the whole newspaper as one piece，one composition - like music.
Music has a rhythm，has ups and downs.Design is responsible for this experience.Flipping through pages was readers' experience and I was responsible for this experience.
The front page became my personal channel to talk to the readers.My approach was simple and direct.I wanted to show my understanding of art，and of reality.I wanted to make posters，not newspapers.Not even magazines：posters.
We had determination，and we kept on trying.We experimented with type，with illustration and with photos.We kept asking：Why do we do it？What's our goal？
Design was not only about the front page.It was a part of the process.To be good was not enough.The process we made was about improving the product completely.
We adjusted the content accordingly.We improved everything to what our readers thought it should be and how they liked reading it.We kept improving and we had fun.
Soon in Poland ，our pages were named "Covers of the Year" three times in a row.One year later this newspaper，in the same country，they named it the "World's Best﹣Designed Newspaper".Two years later，the same award came to Estonia.The circulation of the newspapers kept going up.They became more and more popular.
