An elephant and a crocodile were once standing beside river． They were disputing which was the better animal．
"Look at my strength， "said the elephant． "I can pull up a tree， roots and all， with my trunk．"
"Ah! But your skin is not nearly so thick as mine， "replied the crocodile． "No knife or tooth can cut through it．"
Just as they were coming to blows， a lion happened to pass．
"My dear friends !" said the King of all animals， going up to them． "Let me know the cause of your disagreement．"
"Will you kindly tell us which is the better animal？ "cried both at once．
"Certainly， "said the lion， pointing across the river． "Do you see the soldiers metal hat on that wall？"
"Yes! "replied the beasts．
"Well， then， "continued the lion， " go and get it， and bring it to me， and I shall be able then to decide between you．"
Upon hearing this， off they started．The crocodile， being used to the water， reached the opposite side of the river first， and was soon standing beside the wall．
Here he waited till the elephant came up． The elephant， seeing that the crocodile had no way of reaching their goal， raised his long trunk， and took down the hat quite easily．
They then made their way together back again across the river． The elephant was trying to keep up with the fast﹣moving crocodile in the water and became careless． When he was forced to turn sharply to avoid a floating tree branch， the elephant dropped the hat and it fell to the river bottom． The crocodile noticed the accident， so down he dived， and brought it up in his huge mouth． They then returned， and the crocodile laid the metal hat at the lion's feet． The King took it up， and turning to the elephant， said："You， because of your size and trunk， were able to reach the hat on the wall but， having lost it，you were unable to get it back． And you， said the lion to the crocodile， "although unable to reach the hat， were able to dive for it and save it． You are both wise and able in your own ways． One is no better than the other．"

Many people know that rubbish is a big problem on planet Earth． What many people don't know is that junk（垃圾）has become a problem in outer space too．
According to BBC News， there are more than 22， 000 pieces of space junk floating around the earth． And these are just the things that we can see from the surface of the earth by telescopes （望远镜）． There are also millions of smaller pieces of junk that we can't see．
Objects， like bits of old space rockets or satellites， move around the planet at very high speeds，so fast that even a very small piece can break important satellites or become dangerous to astronauts． If the tiniest piece of junk crashed into a spaceship， it could damage the vehicle．
To make things worse， when two objects in space crash， they break into many smaller pieces． For example， when a U．S． satellite hit an old Russian rocket in 2009， it broke into more than 2，000 pieces， increasing the amount of space junk．
To reduce additional space junk， countries have agreed that all new space tools can only stay in space for 25 years at most． Each tool must be built to fall safely into the earth's atmosphere after that time． In the upper parts of the atmosphere， it will burn up．
Many scientists also suggesting different ways to clean up space junk． In England scientists are testing a metal net that can be fired into space junk． The net catches the junk and then pulls it into the earth's atmosphere to burn up． The Germans are building robots that can collect pieces of space junk and bring them back to Earth to be safely destroyed．
The problem is becoming more challenging because we're sending more objects into space to help people use their mobile phones and computers，" says Marco Castronuovo， an Italian space Researcher．
"The time to act is now． The longer we leave the problem， the bigger it will become，" he says．

Heads Up!
In November，the US Soccer Federation，the biggest soccer organization in the US introduces new rules to make the sport safer for young players．This organization
announced that players on its teams who are 10 or younger are no longer allowed to head the ball．Players aged from 11 to 13 have limits on how often they can practice heading．The new rules are designed to prevent kids from getting concussions﹣injuries caused by a blow to the head that shakes the brain inside the skull（头骨）．Common symptoms（症状） include headaches and dizziness．

All over the world the need for more laptops and computers increases each year．Networks have been part of our life．Probably everyone with a portable device （移动设备）has once logged on to a public WiFi network without paying for it，while they are having a coffee，on a train，in a shopping mall or at a hotel．However，is this kind of public WiFi network safe？
Some networks are better protected than others because encryption （加密）methods are used．Therefore，they are safer than others．But a survey in 2015 showed that more than 950 million records were not protected，including addresses，emails，birth dates，phone numbers，passwords and so on．These open WiFi networks are really not safe，because it is very easy for hackers （黑客） to break into the operating system and get people's private information．
Most smartphones and laptops，by themselves，search and connect to WiFi networks．They usually prefer a network with a connection that has been used before．Hackers'devices are able to record these searches and look like the trusted WiFi networks．When these smartphones and laptops log on to the networks which are not real，hackers can easily steal their private information．

Today there are 6.4 billion people on the earth．By the year 2050 there may be 12.5 billion．There are many people to feed．We need more and more food．
One way to produce more food is growing stronger plants．For thousands of years，farmers have made plants better．Every season，they pick the best plants for the next season．It words very slowly．Since 1983，scientists have been able to change plants more quickly by changing their genetic（遗传的） material．Foods from plants grown in this way are called genetically modified（转基因的） foods，or GM foods．
By changing the genetic material of a plant，it is possible to make new plants．Scientists make plants which are strong against plant diseases（疾病）．They can also help in our diseases，a kind of rice will be grown，for example，which stops people becoming blind．
Rich countries produce GM foods because they are easy to grow and bring in more money．Poor countries are interested in them because they help produce more food．
GM plants are not natural．No one knows how good or bad they are．Making GM foods is only one way of feeding people in 2050．There are strong feelings against them because they are unnatural．They may feed people，then hurt them or their children later．But both rich and poor countries are interested in their uses，and they are not going to go away．In 2050，we may think differently about them．

What do you see when you look at abstract（抽象） art？Does it make sense to you？Does it look like anything？Is it supposed to？
Abstract art became popular in the early 20th century．Artists did not want to paint，draw，or sculpt things exactly（确切地） like they looked．They didn't want their art to be realistic．They were more interested in basic shapes and colours．
Picasso is probably the most famous of these artists．He painted and drew in many，many styles．Sometimes he used a lot of blue colours（his"blue period"）．Later，he used more red and pink colours （his"rose period"）．Many of his other paintings are called"cubist（立体画派）"because they are made of painted squares．
After a long time，Picasso's paintings became more and more abstract．He painted people and things using strange shapes．His work was so original； many of his fellow artists didn't understand it．
Kandinsky，another famous artist，used lines，shapes，and patterns to paint his subjects．His paintings also used strong colours to express feelings．
Other artists like the surrealists（超现实主义者），were interested in subconscious（潜意识）．Painters like Breton and Magritte used many symbol in their work．The meaning or subject of their work wasn't always clear．Dali，another surrealist artist，painted pictures that look like dreams．
There are still many abstract artists around the world．That's the way many artists prefer．They want each person to look at art and find their own meaning in it．

Have you ever heard the phrase "You never get a second chance to make a first impression（印象）"？ It may sound like an unusual piece of advice，but it is true﹣the first impression someone has of you when meeting you for the first time will probably influence how that person treats you or reacts to you in the future．
What is even more interesting is that the brain takes in all the information to create that first impression in about three seconds．When you meet someone for the first time，by the time you have stated your name or shaken hands，the other person has already formed an opinion about the kind of person you are．
So how do you make a good first impression？All things grown up tell you such as being polite，and being well﹣dressed are very important．However，the most important tool for making a good first impression is your face．
Smiling，being responsive，and looking like you are happy will almost always leave a positive（积极的）impression on people，especially those who do not know you．Most people，generally speaking，are ready to smile back when they are smiled at．
Furthermore，smiling and being in a positive mood helps you to know and get a better understanding of new things．This means that you can possibly be friendlier to people you do not know and be more creative and able to solve problems more quickly．So if you ever need a reason to be happy，think about the wonderful people you might meet and impress with a cheerful smile．
