The natural world is colorful with humans,plants and animals showing different colors.
Human skin can be many different colors and it changes.with the sun,our feelings or our health for example.This is because of pigments(色素),which reflect light and make what the eye sees as colors.So,when we feel excited or angry,our heart can send more blood to the face and the pigments in the skin become red.This is why we have the expression that someone. "sees red"when they are angry.
Plants also have pigments.Color is important for them to live on.The bright colors of flowers catch the attention of insects(昆虫),which then carry their pollen(花粉)from one flower to another.Bees can see colors we cannot,and they follow these to the inside of the flower.Without bees visiting flowers in this way,many plants would die out.
Animals also use color for their own need.They protect themselves with different colors so as not to be seen by predators.The snowshoe hare for example,a type of wild rabbit,changes color with seasons for this reason.During summer it is a brown color,and in winter it is white so that it can hide in the snow.However,some animals use color as a warning to make predators stay away.Bright colors such as yellow and red are often used in this way.Nature,however,is very clever,and predators also use colors to attract(吸引)the animals they feed on..
So,we can see that there may be many different reasons and uses for colors in the natural world.Some uses of color in nature remain unknown;but one thing is for sure,color not only makes our planet beautiful but it is also necessary for our planet to live on.

Do you often run outdoors to keep healthy? Have you ever thought about how running helps to clean up the earth? Sometimes a creative mind can bring us a win﹣win(双赢) situation.
Plogging,a new way to exercise, began in Sweden(瑞典). The name "plogging"" comes from two words﹣the Swedish(瑞典的) word "plocka", which means "to pick up(捡起)",and the word "jogging",which means "to run slowly".A Swedish man called Erik started the movement.He saw rubbish here and there when riding to work each day.He became worried about the dirty environment and decided not to go to work by bike any more.Instead, he began to run to work and pick up the rubbish at the same time.To his joy, more and more people followed him and soon plogging became popular.
Many people choose plogging instead of just jogging because they think plogging is a good way to help clean up the earth.Sometimes rubbish is difficult to collect because it may scatterall around. But if the runners pick up the rubbish on the way, it is quite different. After all, many hands make light work. Another reason is that plogging burns more calories (卡路里). According to a research, plogging for 10 minutes burns 48 calories, while usual jogging for 10 minutes burns about 39 calories.
Everyone on the earth should play a part in cleaning it up! It's time for us to take action together.So ready? Let's plog tomorrow!

Getting electricity has always been a problem for the 173people living in Nuevo Saposoa,a small village in Peru,South America.However,things went from bad to worse in March 2015after heavy rains damaged the only power cables in the area.The villagers were forced to use oil lamps,which are not only expensive but also dangerous because of the harmful gases they produce.
Luckily,researchers at the University of Technology (UT) in Lima,Peru heard about their problem and found a wonderful solution.They made a lamp that can be powered by plants and soil,both of which can be easily found in the Amazonian rainforest where the village lies.The lamp takes energy from a plant growing in a wooden box and uses it to light up an LED light bulb.
While that may sound amazing and even impossible,the science behind the ides is quite simple.As plants create their food (using the sun's energy,water and chemicals from the soil),they also produce waste which they return to the soil.Tiny animals in the soil eat this waste and they produce electrons﹣the building blocks of electrical energy.The UT team put special sticks inside the soil to capture the energy and keep it in the lamp's batteries for later use.The researchers say a single charge can power a 50﹣watt Led light for two hours﹣enough time for local villagers to get their evening work done.
The university gave ten Plant Lamps to the villagers of Nuevo Saposoa in October 2015.So far,they have been a huge success!Elmer Ramirez,the UT professor who invented the lamp,believes the Plant Lamp could help improve the lives of many people,especially small rainforest communities,42% of whom have no electricity.

Imagine a perfect day: the weather is good and everything seems fine. When, suddenly, your mobile phone loses its signal, the television has no programs, and you can't get online with your computer.
What has happened? These are just the types of problems a solar storm(太阳风 暴)might cause. You may not think of storms as putting our society in danger. But today, a solar storm is as serious as other bad events, such as earthquakes.
A solar storm is caused by solar flares(太阳耀斑): large explosions(爆炸)near the sun that can give off lots of energy. The strong energy can stop the satellite systems(卫星系统)that control our computers, telecom networks and so on. These storms can even cause the power to go out for weeks or months.
In the past few months, scientists have recorded some of the strongest sun flares in years. The most recent one happened around Valentine's Day, 2011. It caused radio and satellite signals to go down in some northern cities in China.
"Solar flare activity is going to be much worse than what we've seen in the past. We're not talking about a few cities losing power, it could be half of the country, maybe more." SolarStorm Warning.com, a US website about space weather, warned.
Scientists say that little can be done to predict such a storm. Governments around the world are trying to work together before the next storm, although they are not sure when that may happen.

In South Korea, many schools hire English teachers from abroad, but as you know, there are not so many English native teachers in South Korea. A team of engineers has created a robot that they hope will take the place of foreign teachers.
Robots will save schools money.The cost to build a robot and hire a Filipino teacher to work with it is around ﹩20,000 a year. That is about half the cost of supporting a foreign teacher in South Korea. What's more, robot teachers can make students have more fun learning English.
The robot teacher is called Engkey.She is about one meter tall and is white,egg﹣shaped.She takes a screen as her face. She can move around the classroom while speaking to students, reading books to them and dancing to music by moving her head and arms. So this robot is more than a video screen on wheels. But Engkey's voice is not her own. They are controlled by English teachers in the Philippines (菲律宾).There is a camera in each of the robot teachers. With the help of the camera, English teachers in the Philippines can see and hear the students.
Engkey's creators say that they don't know how successful the robot is as a teacher now. But they hope that some day all schools in South Korea will have a robot in the classroom.

Helping Hally
Sam was sitting on the couch,watching television.His mom walked into the room with Hally,their dog.
Mom said, " ①have,we,Hally,help,to(. )"Help her how?" asked Sam.
Do you remember when we went to pick up Hally from her litter?We picked her because she looked like her mom.She is brown with spots,with long ears,and she was energetic,so we thought she'd be strong,like her mom.But how does she look now?" Mom asked.
"Well," thought Sam, "She' s still brown with spots and long ears,but she' s not very energetic or strong anymore. "
"That's what the vet said,too.We haven't been letting her exercise as much,and we've been feeding her a lot.She would probably look just like her mom now if we had walked her more. ② We have to start walking her more often.And then she'll stay healthy for a long time.Will you help?"
"Sure!" said Sam.He decided that he could play fetch with her every day in the yard,because then she could run and run and run until she was tired.
The first day,they only played fetch for about 10 minutes before Hally was tired.But Sam kept playing with her every day.Soon,they could play for an entire half an hour!Hally looked stronger every day,just like her mom.Sam felt great about helping Hally get strong again.

Alice Lee is a high school student studying at a private school. She is doing some voluntary work at an after﹣school program to help students from poor families.
On the first day of her work, she noticed that many kids were lining up for free sandwiches and fruits. She was surprised. One of the organizers explains that many of these students don't get enough to eat at home. So a school lunch or an after﹣meal might be the most food they would get all the day. She has also been told that some hungry kids can receive free lunches, but others are only allowed reduced﹣price meals, and those students' families have to pay for the part of their food.
Lee was shocked, she decided to offer help to those who are suffering from hunger, "I want other kids to understand that if you see a problem, you don't have to wait to be an adult to fix it," says Lee. She and a group of friends are using their programme skill to create a new app called Food of Thought, which will allow parents, students, and even kind﹣hearted strangers to donate money to lunch accounts for students in a nearby school.
