A small cloud moves slowly through the air in a hospital operating room （手术室）.In the room a patient with cancer（癌症），lies on a table.The cloud is all around the patient，covering her body and filling her lungs（肺）.The cloud is not smoke.It is made of millions of nano﹣robots（纳米机器人）.These tiny robots move from cell （细胞） to cell in the patient's body，killing the cancer.
Fighting cancer with nano﹣robots is only an idea today，but scientists say that it could be possible in the future.Using nano﹣robots for good purposes such as fighting the illness or repairing the environment may be the way to many of today's problems.
However，nano﹣robots could be a dangerous risk as well.Because nano﹣robots are so tiny，they will have to work in large teams of many thousands to many millions.For this reason，nano﹣robots will have to be programmed（被编程）to build themselves.Scientists will not have the ability to build millions of nano﹣robots one by one.
This ability to re﹣produce is making some scientists worried.What will happen if something goes wrong in the programming？Quite a lot of crazy nano﹣robots would be far worse than any illness.Some people think that if they get out of control，nano﹣robots could make the Earth gone.
What should be done？Should we continue researching nano﹣robots or should we search for other methods？This is one of the many difficult decisions that we have to make in the future.

Last Saturday，I went to a coffee shop to meet a friend of mine.I got there ten minutes earlier.
So I ordered a cup of coffee and sat by the window，watching people.There were some boys playing football on the street and a small boy was running after the ball as it rolled across the road.
Suddenly，there came a car.It was going very fast.When the driver saw the boy in his way，he braked（刹车）hard.But it was too late …The small boy was lying on the street without moving.To everyone's surprise，the car didn't stop.It drove away quickly.

DNA is the whole"map" of the human body.It is something that all humans have，and it tells the body what to do.DNA is the reason that we look like our parents，because we get some of their DNA to make our own.
People have been trying to understand the human body for a long time.In 1860，Mr Mendel discovered why we look similar to other people in our family.It is because of small things called "genes（基因）"in our body.In 1953，two scientists，Watson and Crick，found out that those small parts are real messages.They are written in the DNA with a special language.
In 1961，another two scientists found the first "word" that they could understand in that language.It shows how DNA tells the cell（细胞） to build its parts.So far，scientists have found all the words in the DNA map，but we do not understand what they all do.By understanding what just one "word" means，we can help to save people from several illnesses.So the more we understand ，the more doctors will be able to do.
Most people hope that this will help to make better medicine to help sick people，Other people worry that when we learn more "words" and find out more information，we will use it in the wrong way，just to make people more attractive（有吸引力的）or stop sick people getting jobs.

As Internet users become more dependent on the Internet to store information，do people remember less？if you know your computer will store information，why do you store it in your own personal memory，your brain？Experts are wondering if the Internet is changing what we remember and how.
In a recent study，Professor Betsy Sparrow made some experiments（实验）.She and her research team wanted to know how the Internet is changing memory.
In the first experiment，they asked two groups of people to put 40 unimportant facts into a computer.The first group of people understood that the computer would store the information.The second group understood that the computer would not store it.Later，the second group remembered the information better.People in the first group knew they could find the information again，so they did not try to remember it.
In the second experiment，the researchers gave people facts to remember，and told them where to find the information on the Internet.The information was in an exact in an exact computer folder（文件夹）.Surprisingly，people later remember where the folder is better than the facts.When people use the Internet，they do not remember the information.However，they remember how to find it.This is called "transitive memory （交互记忆）".
According to Sparrow，we are not becoming people with poor memories as a result of the Internet.Instead，computer users are developing stronger transitive memories；that is，people are learning how to organize a lot of information so that they are able to get it at a later date.This doesn't mean we are becoming either more or less clever，but there is no doubt that the way we use memory is changing.
（1）Why does the writer begin the text with two questions？

（3）What do we know about transitive memory from the second experiment？
A.People organize the information like a computer.
B.People remember how to find the information.
C.People remember how to make a folder.
D.People keep the information in mind.
（4）What's Professor Betsy Sparrow's conclusion（结论）？

If your pencil box is broken，the batteries（电池）in your flashlights run out，or you have some leftover food，how will you deal with these things？You will probably throw them all into one rubbish bin.But actually，we need to sort（分类）all the rubbish separately.If you don't sort your rubbish，all of it will go to a special place where it is buried（埋藏）together.As a result，it will take up some fields.Some rubbish will pollute the groundwater.Some rubbish that can be reused will be wasted.
In recent years，some Chinese cities have been working hard on rubbish sorting.
Shanghai has called on all the people living in this city to sort their rubbish into four groups：wet，recyclable，harmful and dry.Wet waste is known as household waste.They are things you don't want but pigs can eat.Paper，metal，glass，plastic and other things that can be reused are recyclable waste.Harmful waste includes thins like medicine，batteries.Finally，any waste that is not wet，recyclable or harmful will go to the "dry waste" bin.
Many other Chinese cities are also using this way to sort their rubbish.For example，Deyang has been sorting its rubbish into the same four groups since several years ago.Students in Deyang have already received waste﹣sorting guidebooks.They have studied these books and known how to sort the rubbish.
China is now improving its waste﹣sorting efforts.There is still a long way to go.But it's never too late to learn how to sort your rubbish rightly.We should take an active part in it.

With her eyes feeling increasingly tired and her vision blurry（视力模糊的），l6﹣year﹣old Tian Ting went to the hospital with her parents in January.She was shocked when she found out that her eyesight dropped from 5.0 to 4.6 in only a term. "A few of my friends have had the same experience lately，" Tian said.
In fact，poor eyesight among Chinese primary and high school students rose from 59.2 percent to 70.6 percent in the first six months of 2020，according to the Ministry of Education.
To protect students' eyesight，the Chinese government has worked out new requirements （要求） for school supplies （供应品） and equipments that will take effect （生效） on March 1，2022.For example，according to the requirements，the size of text in students' textbooks should be no smaller than nine﹣point.Teachers should also try not to use projectors （投影仪） or other multimedia equipments （多媒体设备） that are too bright，Beijing Daily reported.There are also requirements for desks and classroom lights.For example，these lights should give off （散发） as little blue light as possible.
Blue light is bad for our eyes，as it can kill the photoreceptor cells （光感器细胞） we need for vision，according to Harvard Medical School.Many of the electronic devices we use every day，like our phones and computer screens，give off blue light.
Chinese government has also taken other steps to protect students' eyesight in China.In May 2020，the National Health Commission urged schools to make sure that students have at least two hours of outdoor activity a day.

"I spent my whole life doing one thing，" Gu Fangzhou once said.Known as "the father of sugar pills （糖丸）"，Gu passed away on January 2，2019.Eight months later，he received a national honorary﹣title （荣誉称号） "the People's Scientist" for his polio （脊髓灰质炎） research.
Gu Fangzhou，a famous medical scientist，was born in June，1926.Gu's family faced a difficult time with the sudden death of his father.He studied hard and finally entered Peking University as a medical student in 1944.After graduation，Gu made the decision to work to help improve public health.
In 1955，polio broke out in Nantong，Jiangsu Province.It paralyzed （使瘫痪） 1，680 people，mostly children aged below seven.It spread to neighboring areas and resulted in 466 deaths.Gu was asked to lead polio research in 1957. "At that time the only way to prevent polio was to invent a vaccine （疫苗），" said Gu.
In 1959 Gu succeeded in developing the first polio live vaccine.Later，he developed the "sugar﹣coated pill" vaccine in the early 1960s.It not only tasted better but was more affordable and easier to keep.To test the vaccine，Gu tried the vaccine in person and later his one﹣month﹣old son was vaccinated.This inspired his team to vaccinate their kids.They became the first group of people in China to try a polio vaccine. "If we don't believe in what we produce，how can others believe in it？" said Gu.
Gradually，the sugar﹣coated polio vaccine was made available in China.It saved millions of people，especially kids，from being disabled.In 2000，the World Health Organization （WHO） announced that China was already a polio﹣free country. "We feel satisfied.I can tell people that I tried my best，and your kids will no longer get polio，" said Gu. "That's all we hoped for. "

In 1987 a small company named Huawei was started in Shenzhen.After more than 30 years of development，the company has now beaten Apple and become the world's second largest maker of smartphones.It has also become the world's supplier （供应者） of 5 G.In China and even in the world，Huawei is a wonder.Although it started producing mobile phones not many years ago，it has become one of the most famous phone companies.
But recently，Huawei faces some difficulties.The US government made a law to stop its sales in America.American officials said Huawei gave information that it collected to the Chinese government.At the same time，the US government planned to stop selling parts and services to Huawei.They believed that Huawei's business would be hurt this way.
"We have never received such a request from the Chinese government and we have never tried to get into other systems to collect information，" Ren Zhengfei，Huawei's president said. "The law would have little effect on our company.Huawei has enough ability to deal with the problems，" Ren added.
In an interview several years ago，Ren Zhengfei said， "I started Huawei with only £4000 at the beginning，but now it has become a 100 billion company.The experience was not as romantic as you imagine."
Facing the law of the US，Huawei is growing.Huawei's smartphone sales around the world rose 50 percent compared with a year earlier in the first three months of 2019.At the same time，sales from both Samsung and Apple fell.So far Huawei has grown into the world's largest telecommunication equipment supplier （供应商），selling in 170 countries.It may beat Samsung as the largest smartphone maker in the near future.

The Arctic is home to over 21，000 kinds of animals and plants.Two thirds of it is the Arctic Ocean.In winter，it is completely covered with sea ice.In summer，nearly 50 percent of the sea is ice.
It's also home to about 4 million people，a group of whom are Inuit.Jim is an Inuit boy.At 6：30 am，he wakes up and gets ready to go to school in his fur coat.It keeps him warm in the freezing weather.Half an hour later，he gets to school on a ski or snowmobile.Some of his friends go by car instead.At 11 ：30 am，it's time for lunch.There's fish and other meat in his lunchbox.He sometimes eats them uncooked.These foods give him enough energy.Besides local food，some people eat Western food.At 5：00 pm，the snow outside makes everything bright，so he wears snow goggles on his way back home，or his eyes may be hurt badly by the strong light.From December to March，the sun never rises.However，it always shines in the sky during the summer.At 10：00 pm，he goes to bed.Sometimes he stays in an ice house called igloo.I looks cold but it's warm inside.Many local people live in houses made of wood.
The Inuit mainly make a living by hunting and fishing.Now，their life is greatly influenced by climate（气候）change.For example，many animals they hunt for food are disappearing.There is less food for the reindeer they keep，too.They face more terrible weather，such as snowstorms.Hunting becomes more dangerous.Hunters may accidentally fall into water if the ice becomes too thin.Actually，the temperature in the Arctic is 18℃ higher than it was 125 years ago.All Arctic ice may disappear during the summer in less than 100 years.

Tangchang，a town in Chengdu，is well﹣known for cloth shoes.With over 20 types，Tangchang cloth shoes are strong，comfortable，breathable and friendly to the environment.In 2018，they were added to Sichuan's intangible cultural heritage list（非物质文化遗产名录）.
63﹣year﹣old Lai Shufang has spent over 40 years making Tangchang cloth shoes.Now she is a master.She said there are 32 steps to make a pair，but the most important step is making the soles.
Layers（层）of white cloth are glued together with flour paste（糨糊）. "To make good paste，we make it at a temperature of 85℃.If it's too low or too high，the paste will not work， "Lai said.Then the pasted layers are dried and cut into different shapes.After this，the layered cloth is beaten again and again until it is tight（紧实的）enough to make soles and upper parts.The next step is to shape the two parts and glue them together.But still the soles' edges look fluffy.Through repeated polishing and trimming，the fluffy edges（毛边）will become smooth.Then the cloth shoes are ready.
Lai's hard work touched her son Ai Peng.In 2015，Ai decided to leave his job and help his mother.He used Shu embroidery to make the shoes look more beautiful and opened a cloth shoe store online.He also set up shop windows to show the steps of making shoes，helping more people learn about the art of cloth shoes.
