We've seen 3D films， 3D TVs and so on．They are so interesting that young people like to watch them very much．Have you ever read about 3D newspapers？That was what the Belgian（比利时的）newspaper，La Demiere Heure，tried to do for its readers．This was Europe's first 3D newspaper．
It took the team two months to make the 3D newspaper．The team printed 115，000copies of the special edition of La Demiere Heyre．It was more than the usual number of the printed copies．
Each of these newspapers came with a pair of free 3D glasses．All the photos and ads in the newspaper were in 3D and the text was the same as usual．Readers could get the best result by holding the paper 50cm away from the eyes．In fact，if people don't wear the 3D glasses，the newspaper will be terrible to read because the pictures are not clear．

It was last January， when I'd just finished a charity（慈善） and was on the train back home， that I put down my phone and started writing thank﹣you notes to people who had helped，
When I got off the train， I felt amazingly good． The next day，I wrote more thank﹣you and the same feeling of happiness hit me again． I suddenly had the idea： Why not keep on doing this for every day of the year？
To keep on task， I decided to pick out a different theme for each month． January was charity．February would be neighbors， I decided， And I thought of a number of names right away： the owner of our local bookstore， who let me and my little son in before the store opened and offered to play his favorite songs； our babysitter， who dropped off a bag of old board games for our kids to play， …
While writing the notes， I realized how often I had spent my time on the phone moving from app to app， appreciating（欣赏） other people's lives． Writing thank﹣you notes allowed me the time to do something different， paying more attention to my own life．
In the following months， I wrote to my friends， doctors， teachers and parenting role models． In July， my "food" month， I wrote to Julie，who used to cook at my favorite restaurant．It went like this：
Dear Julie，
I've been finding myself missing you lately． Thank you for hosting and cooking beautiful and thoughtful food． Jake and I will never forget when you sent out biscuits shaped into the number VI for our sixth anniversary（周年纪念日）．We talk about it every year．
Thank you． We miss you．
Love，
Gina
I was happy to receive a note back from her． Julie replied，"I don't think I've ever received such a touching letter before， I' m going through a hard time right now， and this helps．"

Dear Jim， I know how you feel． It's not easy being your age． And it 's not easy being a mother， either． It's common for kids to have trouble talking with parents， and talkative mothers are not new to teenagers． But remember， she's nagging（叨唠） you because she just wants what's best for you． Talking is her way to show love and care． And she also wants to know more about you． After a day 's work． she's tired， too． But she will never be tired of caring about you． Kids should learn to understand and care about parents． In my opinion， it's helpful to share school life with her． Then， you talk and she listens． Doing some housework together with her is another good way for you two to know each other better． And if possible， often tell her your feelings about the things around you． Always keep in mind： be polite and patient． Yours， Dr．Green |
