Xiaofan，a smart boy from Shenzhen，used to have difficulty in getting up on time，and his alarm clock was of no use at all．It made him very upset．One day，he had a good idea．
Xiaofan went to a shop and bought a tape．Back home，he started to record what he wanted．After that，he took out a tool box and connected his tape player with the new tape to his alarm clock．A special alarm clock was born．At a certain time in the morning，the tape player would play soft music with a low and sweet voice of a young girl，"Wake up，please．"Five minutes later，the tape player would play again，and it might be loud music．At the same time，he could hear a recording of his parent，"Wake up at once，or you'll be late!"
Several days later，Xiaofan got used to the sound of the recordings．After the recordings，he was still sleepy，and even fall asleep again．That was terrible!So he went to the library and borrowed plenty of books home to deal with his problem of getting up late．
He made it!With the help of what he had learned from the books，he put a mechanical（机械的）arm at the end of the bed．Now if Xiaofan still doesn't get up at last，the arm in the bed will"beat"him，and even make him out of the bed．

In the past， I thought I was terrible at many things， such as math， French and science． Although I was good at drawing， I wasn't the best in my art class．I wanted to find out who I was，what I liked and how I could do it better．So， that winter，I took a notebook and kept my diary． When I filled that notebook，I started another one， and then another．
Keeping a diary helps a lot． Studies have shown that people who keep a diary sleep and feel better． It helps people remember what once happened such as dreams， friendships and happiness． Writing about bad feelings can also help brains get over themand move on． Personally， I learn better about myself and my relationships with others by keeping a diary．For example，when I am fighting with my dad， I'll try writing from his point and it works! If I want to compare myself with my classmates．I'll write something like，"I might not have clear skin， but I like my eyes．"
Right about now， you might be thinking： it sounds great， but I'm not a good writer； or I'd love to keep a diary， but my handwriting is terrible． Don't worry! Keeping a diary is not like doing your homework ﹣there are no rules， so do whatever feels best．

What do you use to unlock your cellphone？ A password？ A fingerprint？ Or simply a glance（一瞥）？
On September 12， 2017， Apple introduced its iPhone X， which has an eye﹣catching feature （特色）﹣Face ID．
With Face ID， Apple says， you can unlock your new iPhone by just looking atit． It is powered by a so﹣called TrueDepth camera system built into the front of the iPhone X．
When the camera system sees a person's face， it uses 30，000 unseen dots （点） to "'map"（勾画）the shape and outline of the face． A mathematical model of the face will then be created and stored （储存） in the phone．
The next time the person looks at the iPhone X， the same dots are mapped onto his or her face and compared to the stored model． If the two match， then the phone unlocks．
This happens in less than a second．
Apple says the system is smart． If you change your hairstyle， put on sunglasses or makeup， or use the phone in the dark， Face ID still works．
Although the technology sounds fancy， there are still concerns （担心）． For example，will Face ID work for twins？
According to Apple， the chance of others to unlock your iPhone X using Face ID is one in a million． Face ID can tell the difference between twins， but the error rating （出错率） rises． So one would need to set a password then．
Apple also emphasizes （强调） that Face ID only unlocks when you stare atit． It is what Apple calls"attention aware （察觉）"． So the phone won't unlock if you are just glancing at the phone for the time． It won't work either if someone puts the phone at your sleeping face or your photo．

| A． |
a sign |

We have been used to wearing masks（口罩） in public since February．About 300 million masks are used and then thrown away every day in China． Where do these masks go？ You might think they just go in a rubbish bin． But that's just the first stop on the masks' journey．
After the masks are thrown into the bins，rubbish trucks empty the bins and take the rubbish to landfills（垃圾场） Next， the masks will be taken to rubbish incinerators（焚化炉） and burned．
Burning masks might not seem to be very good for the environment． Won't it cause pollution？
The answer is "no"， according to China Daily． The main material of most masks is polypropylene（聚丙烯）． It's non﹣toxic（无毒的） After burning， it changes into water and CO2．In fact， burning the masks can bring some benefits（益处）． The process of burning the rubbish can produce electricity． Burning one ton of rubbish can produce more than 400 kilowatt hours（度） of electricity． Some people make a prediction that there will be 162，000 tons of used masks in
China this year． Burning all of them can produce more than 64 million kilowatt hours of electricity．
This is enough to make an electric car drive about 370 million km， which is 9，250 times as long as the earth's equator．

The National Parks in England are called "England's Breathing Spaces" because they are places where people can go to be in the open air，away from the dirt and noise of cities．They provide wonderful scenes of mountains，woods，grasslands and wetlands．And there are plenty of activities to do in all of the National Parks in England．Visitors can walk or ride bikes for fun．Many of the parks put on activities for families．

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．

We often face the following situations in our daily life：
•The woman next door plays her piano after 12 o'clock at night
•The family across the street never cleans up their yard．The rubbish blows into your yard．
•The man next door always parks his car in front of your drive．
Have things like this ever happened to you？If so，you may ask yourself，"Who are these people？Why are they doing these things to me？"
These days，many people don't know their neighbors．Sometimes we share a friendly smile or say hello，but lots of people don't even know their neighbor's names!When you don't know someone，it's easy to be angry when something has happened that you think is unfair．You think，"Maybe they like to make me angry，"or"Maybe they do it on purpose．"Believe it or not，your neighbors probably don't mean to irritate you．Often，they don't even know that they're making you feel angry．So before you take unusual steps to fix the problem，you should discuss it with them first．
When you move towards your neighbors，you should talk to them in a friendly manner．Praise their children to make them feel good．Then explain the situation．And if you can think of a simple way to solve the problem，suggest it．
If talking doesn't work，ask another person to help，This person can listen to both sides of the story and help you and your neighbor solve the situation．
Finally，sometimes it's a good idea to avoid the problem．Depending on the problem，it might be best to just stay out of your neighbor's way．
