More children in China are putting on weight.In 2018,16 percent of Chinese children were overweight,according to the National Health Commission(NHC).
Being too fat is bad for children' s health.According to the World Health Organization (WHO),overweight children are more likely to develop diseases like diabetes(糖尿病) at a younger age.This can lead to a higher chance of earlier death.
On Oct 23rd,the NHC,together with five other national departments,worked out a plan.The plan aims to reduce the growth of fatness among children aged 0﹣18 years by 70 percent from 2020 to 2030,Xinhua reported.
Kids are putting on weight because of changes in their diet and lifestyle,according to experts.Too much schoolwork and greater use of electronic devices( 电子产品) could also be a cause.
According to the plan,teachers should not allow their classes to run too late or too early.They should make sure that students have breaks and enough physical(躯体上的) activity.School students should have at least three hours of active physical activity each week.
Parents should reduce their children's use of electronic devices and stop their children from eating foods that are high in sugar,fat and salt.

Cycads(苏铁)grow in warm places.They are tall and green all year round.Their leaves grow on the top and flowers seldom come out.Some have bright orange fruits.They usually need hundreds of years to grow into adult plants.
Cycads are facing problems now.In South Africa,the situation of cycads is getting terrible,but this has drawn little attention from the public."In fact,there are 38 kinds of cycads in South Africa.Among them,2 kinds have disappeared since 2003 and 25 kinds are in great danger,"said a gardener."Do you know what the loneliest plant is in the world?It is Wood's Cycad.Someone found it in a forest in 1895.It is the only one of its kind."
So what causes cycads to be in danger?Surprisingly,the danger is from the people who love them most. These slow﹣growing adult cycads even sell for tens of thousands of dollars each.As time goes by,they have become a symbol(象征)of wealth and position( 地位)in society.This makes cycad lovers want to own more. Cycad lovers buy and plant them in their private gardens.As a result,nearly all these cycads die because the living conditions have changed.

Eleven countries are building a great wall of trees across Africa. It is called the Great Green Wall.The aim is to bring life to the dry lands and help to fight the bad environment.
The wall is 8, 000kilometers long and 15kilometers wide. It covers from Senegal in the west to Djibouti in the east,on the south of the Sahara Desert(撒哈拉沙漠). So far,Senegal has made the best progress by planting about 11, 000,000trees.
Many years ago, there were few trees in that area and the winds used to be very strong. It was harmful to the fields. Also, there was little rain, so few plants could grow and many people went hungry.Since the tree planting project started, the trees have provided food for the local people and increased the wetness(湿度)of the air. Little by little, there appeared green fields for people to grow plants.
The project which began in 2007is supposed to cost a total of 8, 000, 000, 000dollars. Many countries are trying their best to help to continue the planting. So we will be able to see the whole green wall across Africa in the near future.

In 1988,Wang Chengbang retired(退休)from the army.Instead of enjoying a relaxing life,he volunteered to save the soil from desertification(沙漠化)by planting trees in Korla,Xinjiang.
It is no easy job.The high temperature in Korla makes it difficult for anyone to work day after day in the sunshine.Besides,water is a big problem.In fact,Wang Chengbang's work in the first few years failed as very few trees survived(存活).
But Wang Chengbang would not give up."After trying many different ways,I have learned how to grow young trees in a better way," said Wang Chengbang.He also worked out new ways to save water.With his hard work,more and more trees have survived.So far,he has planted more than 1.5 million trees.Those green trees prevent desertification,make the air cleaner and protect people from the hot sun.Now,Korla is a model city in environmental protection.
Wang Chengbang is also successful in fighting cancer(癌症).In 2005,he had cancer and was told that he had only six months to live.However,he continued taking care of his trees rather than lying on the hospital bed."Working is the best medicine.Planting trees helps to fight cancer," he often jokes.
Now,at the age of 85,Wang Chengbang is still working.

Do video games do harm to our children?Today,many children spend a lot of their free time playing games on the Internet.In the UK,99%of kids aged8 to 15 play video games every week.This information tells us that the benefits and dangers of video games must be carefully considered.
For many people,video games are fun.They have bright lights,funny cartoons and exciting stories.Everywhere you look,you can see children playing these games.They play on buses and trains,in restaurants and even at school.
Video games are educational too.They make kids think in a creative way and theyhave to move their hands and eyes quickly.This can improve the way that a child's brain works.What's more,video games make children use their imagination.The player has to do many creative things,like drawing,telling stories and building things.Video games are also a good way to teach children about technology because they can learn how computers and other devices work while they play.
However,a recent study suggests that video games can also be bad for children.First,children can download many games for free.This means that parents often don't know if their children are playing violent or scary games.Second,many children spend too much time playing games on computers and this can lead to health problems.Third,if children spend too much time playing games instead of doing homework,they can have problems at school and get bad grades.Finally,video games can affect children's social skills.If children spend too much time playing video games by themselves,they might not learn how to play with their friends.
In conclusion,it seems clear that video games have some advantages and some disadvantages.It is up to parents to know what games their children are playing and how much time they spend on them.Parents should also make sure their children get enough exercise and spend time with other children.

Dogs might have the latest tools in the fight against cancer (癌症):their noses!Researchers at California's Pine Street Foundation (PSF) say they have trained five dogs to smell cancer on a prison's breath.This could be exciting news.
A dog's sense of smell may be 10,000 to 100,000 times stronger than ours.But can dogs really smell illness?PSF researcher Michael McCulloch says yes. "We were very surprised by how exact they were," he said. "They were telling who had cancer,and they were also saying who didn't."
McCulloch and his team asked four healthy people and one with cancer to blow into plastic tubes (塑料管).Special materials in the tubes kept the things of each breath.The tubes were then placed one yard apart.Finally the dogs were allowed to smell the tubes.Each dog had been trained for three weeks to sit when it smelled cancer.Ninety﹣nine percent of the time,the dog sat next to the tubes blown into by patients with lung cancer.The dogs were right 88 percent of the time about breast cancer.
Dogs in the Pine Street Foundation test were trained to sit when they smelled cancer.How well did they perform?Take a look at this chart to find out. |

Breath Sample |
Number of Times the Dogs Sat Down |
Number of Times the Dogs Kept Standing |
Breath from lung cancer patients |

No lab test for cancer has given more correct results than this test.The results are so amazing that many experts question the dogs' smelling power.They wonder if there were other reasons why the dogs did so well.For example,they thought the way the dog trainers behaved could have influenced how the dogs acted.However,most experts agree that this study is important.The information could help scientists create a simple breath test for cancer in the future.Once again humans may be getting a helping paw or nose﹣from their best animal friends.

The world uses about a thousand million (百万) tons of water a day. Water is a human right and everyone should have their share. Yet more than 700 million people around the world have trouble getting clean, safe water.
Treating wastewater is a good way to provide fresh water for us. And it also helps the environment by keeping waste out of rivers and oceans. 80% of wastewater around the world is not treated at all, and it is running into oceans.
But now we have got the technology to treat and reuse the wastewater.
While 75% of our planet is covered with water, only about 2% is fresh water﹣that comes from rivers, lakes, ice and snow. The rest, 98% of the water, is in seas and oceans. It is too salty to drink. Then desalinationbusinesses come in. More than 19.000 factories have been built around the world, mostly in coastal countries. They process(加工) more than 92 million tons of water every day. But the technology they use requires a lot of energy.
Scientists are working to create a less costly technology. They want to produce 20 times more clean water and make sure everyone has enough. But for now, the world still faces each day with not having enough water for everyone.

In the year of 2020, the coronavirus(新冠病毒)out broke(爆发)all over the world. A lot of people suffered from(遭受……折磨)a fever or a cough. Don't be afraid. Here is some advice to help you protect yourself.
Wash your hands. You need to wash your hands with soap and water before you eat, after you use the toilet, and after you touch animals, because your hands may carry viruses (病毒).Cover your nose and mouth. When someone sneezes(打喷嚏)or coughs,the viruses can travel as far as one meter through the air,so you'd better stand a proper distance while talking to someone who has a cold. And always cover your mouth and nose with a piece of paper when you sneeze or cough,and then clean your hands. Wear a mask(口罩). Some doctors say that masks can stop the virus as much as 80%, but if you don't wash your hands often, it's no use wearing a mask. So it's necessary to wear the mask in the groups of people.
Do sports often. Exercises will help make your body strong enough to resist(抵抗)the virus.
