Resting my head on Helen's shoulder，I put my arms round her waist（腰）.She drew me to her，and we rested in silence.
We had not sat long before another person came in.Some heavy clouds，swept from the sky by a rising wind，had left the moon bright；and her light，coming in through a window near，shone full both on us and on the coming person，Miss Temple. "I came on purpose to find you，Jane Eyre， " said she. "I want you in my room，and as Helen Burs is with you，she may come too. "
We followed Miss Temple to her apartment.It had a good fire，and looked cheerful.Miss Temple told Helen Burns to be seated in a low arm﹣chair on one side of the fire place，and herself asking another，she called me to her side.
"Is it all over？" she asked，looking down at my face. "Have you cried your sadness away？"
"I am afraid I never shall do that. "
"Why？"
"Because I have been wrongly accused（指责），and you and everybody else，will think me a bad girl. "
"We shall think you what you prove yourself to be，my child.Continue to act as a good girl，and you will satisfy us. "
"Shall I，Miss Temple？"
"You will. "said Miss Temple， "You have been accused of lying when you were little.Tell us the truth，but add nothing and exaggerate（夸大）nothing. "
I made up my mind that I would be most modest and most core.Having thought for a few minutes about where to start，I told her all the story of my sad childhood.

In December 2020， "the Super Apple" appeared at supermarkets across China，sweeter and juicier than usual ones，without pesticide residue（农药残留）.Before reaching the market，the products had been tested over 500 times.Blockchain（区块链） technology in recording farmers' actions is widely used to avoid nonstandard pesticide use.Digital technology at the apple storage helps to group apples，which can keep the stability（稳定性） in the quality. "The future of agriculture lies in the modern technology." Huang Jikun，Professor of the China Centre for Agricultural Policy at Peking University，told Beijing Review.
At China's Central Rural Work Conference in 2020，President Xi stressed that efforts must be made to increase the quality of agriculture.Xi also pointed out the importance of speeding up technologies.
China's agriculture has entered a stage of high﹣quality development，as the country is meeting people's increasing need for high standard products.So agriculture should turn to technology.
Three years ago，Yuan Longping led a program of planting rice in saline﹣alkali（盐碱） soil in areas，including Xinjiang and Heilongjiang.Through hybrid technology，Yuan's team have been able to raise improved rice for saline and alkaline soils.If China could put 6.67 million hectares of saline﹣alkali soil into rice production，it would be very likely to increase by around 30 million tons，a huge contribution to the country.
In Lushui，Yunnan Province，one can rarely see farmers working on the farm.All common tasks are completed automatically（自动化地）.Data（数据） is gathered by the system to improve future production.
"More information and technology centres will be built so that basic data and big data can be improved，and technologies like 5 G and the BeiDou Satellite Navigation System can be used in the field."said Han Fujun，Deputy Chief Engineer of the Information Center of MARA.
Since 2010，the Chinese government has been organizing technology exchanges，training，field trips and other activities for the agricultural technology talents to better understand the situations of each area.
Because of the COVID﹣19，companies begin to rethink better agricultural models，as more people want to eat healthier foods.Science and technology will play a more important role in the future.

What do you do with your rubbish？Throw it out？You don't know what you're missing!Look closely at the two figures on your left.They were made from things most people throw away.The figures were made from used bottle caps.Those two bottle﹣cap figures were exhibited （展示） in a museum.
Folk art is art made by common people who have not been trained as artists.Their work is often based on traditions in their culture.Fine art，on the other hand，is usually made by people who have had training in art.Works of fine art are valued for their artistic beauty.They are supposed to be looked at but not used.Works of folk art，however，are often made for everyday use.
There were more than 800 pieces of folk art from nearly 50 countries in the exhibition.All of the pieces were made from used metal，wood，cloth，and plastic.The artists come from many different cultures.Still，they all share one thing.They take objects that are normally thrown away and change them into objects that are beautiful，useful，and fun.The artists may not think of what they do as recycling，but that's exactly what it is.Fine artists might work with expensive materials.They might use expensive tools to shape these materials into works of art.On the other hand，in poor countries rubbish might be the only material folk artists and toy makers can afford.The exhibition shows that a rich imagination is very important when there are only poor materials.Recycled art began long before people began to think about recycling.Some of the objects in the exhibition date from the 1930s.
Even if you don't create art out of rubbish，it's good to save our natural resources.Remember the three rules：reduce，reuse，recycle.If you reduce waste，true things instead of throwing them out，and recycle materials such as paper，plastic，and glass，you will protect the environment.

Can a green machine help the world's poorest kids learn better？Nicholas Negroponte thinks so.He and his team of scientists have invented a new type of computer.As a result，many children who live in poverty （贫穷） will have their own laptop computers!
Negroponte works at a university.He started a group called One Laptop Per Child （OLPC）.The people at OLPC don't work for money.They work to help children learn.OLPC makes computers that don't cost a lot.Then they sell the machines to governments of countries that have many people live in poverty.The governments then give the computes to kids for free.

When I was very young，people in our village lived by planting fruit trees.My grandmother always took me to the orchard（果园） on the hill.At that time，they had to carry water from the river at the foot of the hill to halfway up the hill.Even though we worked so hard，the production level of fruit was still low because it was short of water there.
One day，two young men led a group of workers to our village.They learned about the difficulties we faced，and later，canals and other projects began to be built in my village， "Who are they？" I asked. "They are good men from our government，" my grandma replied.
Shortly afterwards，I moved to another city for my junior high school.The only reason I ever came back to my hometown was my grandmother.
One day，my family and I made time to return.We were surprised because everything had changed.The canal ran past every orchard so villagers didn't have to go up and down the hill anymore.The river was now so clean that fish swam happily in it.When we arrived home，my grandma took out some fresh pears and apples.She told us that after the water conservation project（水利工程） was completed a policy（政策） was made to encourage more people to increase the fruit production with clean water in the river.
Thank those good men who have devoted themselves to the development of our countryside.

Last summer holiday，Aunt Emily took us to a safari park （野生动物园），not far from Liverpool.
I was very happy to go as I had never been to a safari park before.It' s a very interesting park，full of wild animals running freely.
When we got there，we bought our tickets and drove into the park.We were very excited at the thought of going to see the lions.But to get to the lion' s place we had to go through the monkeys' land first.And that was an experience because they climbed all over the car，ate apples and bananas，and threw all kinds of things at us.They seemed very unfriendly.
Anyway，we went on our way to the lions' place where we had to lock ourselves in the car as we knew lions could be dangerous.A lion came up very close to us.The next thing we knew，it was on the bonnet （车盖）.It looked calm but we felt terrified.Aunt Emily，who isn't very brave，started to call for help.The kids started crying.Only my brother，George，stayed cool.I sounded the horn （喇叭） but nobody heard us.
