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.

Lima，the capital of Peru，is located in the central coastal part of the country，overlooking the Pacific Ocean.With a population of more than 9 million，Lima is one of the largest cities and the only capital in South America that faces the ocean.
Lima has a long history.The lost Inca civilization ，is thought to be a mystery.There are many museums，where you can learn：how the ancient American Indians founded the Inca Empire and built Machu Picchu，a famous ancient city in the Andes Mountains；what happened in 1532 and why over 90% of Peruvians speak Spanish.Visiting the historic center，a World Heritage Site you may find you are communicating with both the past and the present.
Lima is also a place where you can find the lifestyles and fashions，created by its people and culture.You will see Peruvian clothes，dances，and taste their delicious foods and drinks.You can see buildings in different styles，enjoy the fantastic sunset over the ancient ruins，climb the mountains，fly over the ocean，or sit in the restaurants and bars to experience Peruvians' relaxing life.
You may have heard "It never rains in Lima. " In fact，the special geographic feature makes it not as dry as it is said to be and it is warm all year round.Though it seldom rains in summer，it sometimes drizzles on early winter mornings.The drizzleand the wet air "water" the ground，which makes the crops and the plants grow.Moreover，modern technology helps to bring water from the snow and ice on the top of the Andes （over 6，000 m high）for the city to use.People there never waste water.

What time does your school start？Do you wish you could get up later every morning？You are not alone if your answer is "Yes." In the US，many middle school students have the same wish.
In America，many schools start before 7：30 am.But that may change soon.A new law has been passed in California.According to the law，middle schools should not start before 8：00 am.The government hopes school children will have longer time in bed.

Everybody enjoys acts of kindness.But can you explain why？Some people think kindness is something out of love and care，while others believe it is just a tool that we use to become more popular.But research shows that being kind can activate （激活）an area of the brain called Striatum.Research also shows that kindness improves people's mood （情绪）.But why and how does it happen？Here are a number of different ways.
Being kind can make someone smile.If you see yourself smile in a situation，people around may be smiling，too.This is specially true for your close friends and family .A kind act makes someone who is sad feel better. Itcan also make ourselves fee good.So why not set off that chain（链条）of good feelings to people around？
Secondly，being kind starts or develops a social connection with others.Kind acts like buying someone a present make friendships stronger.Research has shown that spending money on others may help you get a stronger feeling of happiness than spending it on yourself.Similarly，charities（慈善）also open up new circles of people to connect with someone on the other side of the world.
In another recent research，even children in their first year of secondary school know how being kind makes them feel happy.If one person is kind，he or she makes others in the group kind.It also lifts everyone's spirits.Imagine that you make cakes for the office and it makes others do it each month.Then you're getting cakes a lot more days than providing them.
The story doesn't end here.Being kind may improve your mood，but research has also shown that if you're in a good mood，you can act much more kindly.This makes it a wonderful two﹣way relationship，doesn't it？

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.

One cannot discuss Chinese music without mentioning the guqin，one of the four arts-along with game of go，calligraphy（书法）and painting.It first appeared over 3，000 years ago and stands for China's solo musical instrument tradition.
At first，the guqin had only five strings（弓玄），meaning the five elements（元素）of metal，wood，water，fire and earth.Later，in Zhou Dynasty，King Wen of Zhou added a sixth string for his son.King Wu of Zhou，added a seventh string to encourage his army to fight with the Shang.
Ambiencewas important in playing the guqin.Usually，it was practiced in a quiet setting and never for public performance.Ancient artists enjoyed performing by a stream in the mountains.The sound of the guqin mixed with the echoes（回音）from the mountains，until the musician felt he was at one with nature.Playing it in snow was also an enjoyable activity for ancient artists，who believed the instrument was the purest of its kind in the world.Also，a night with moonlight was considered wonderful for playing the guqin.Wang Wei（701-761），a highly talented man of the Tang Dynasty，liked playing it in a bamboo forest on nights with moonlight most.
Guqin pieces are usually three to eight minutes long，with the longest being Guangling Verse，which is 22 minutes long.Other famous pieces include Plum Blossoms in Three Movements，Wild Geese Landing on the Sandbank and Eighteen Songs of a Nomad Flute.
Nowadays，there are fewer than one thousand well﹣trained guqin players and perhaps no more than fifty living masters.The original number of several thousand pieces has greatly reduced to only one hundred works by today.The guqin and its music was added to the list of the Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity（人类非物质文化遗产）in 2003.

Unlike their classmates，they had to get up early at seven every Saturday to prepare for their lessons.Lily had to attend the art lesson and Lucy had to attend her ballet lesson. "How I wish I could do something different today，" said the twins with one voice.All at once，an idea came to Lily and Lucy at the same time. "Do you have the same idea as me？" they asked each other and laughed.It seemed like a wonderful plan to them.After giving each other a description of their own friends，Lily put on Lucy's ballet dress while Lucy put Lily's brushes and paints into her bag.Then they left for their classes.
When the art lesson started，Lucy couldn't understand the art teacher.Unlike Lily，Lucy was poor at drawing.When the art lesson finally ended，Lucy didn't dare to hand in her work.

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.

Is there something in your community that could be changed？Is there a person in your neighborhood who could offer help？If If you're hoping for someone to make a difference，that someone could be you!
Volunteering your time is a great way to make a difference in your community.And you'll feel good about doing something that helps people or improves the places around you.
This past summer，my friends and I noticed how messy our neighborhood park was.We wanted to be different.We worked with our parents and teachers to clean up the park，We had a great time making the park even better than before，and now the whole neighborhood is able to share and enjoy it again.
Maybe cleaning up a park isn't your choice，though.No problem!You can turn anything that matters to you into a volunteer project.Do you like playing chess reading，or spending time with your pet？You can volunteer to do what you love to do.For example，you could help at an old people's center，simply by talking or playing games with them to make their days better.If you re great at math or English.you could volunteer to be a homework helper at your school.You're always needed to walk dogs or play with cats，Or you can collect things for homeless people，such as soap and toothbrushes.
You see，there is something for everyone.Whatever you do as a volunteer your time will be enjoyed and that always feels good.Kids everywhere are making a difference by volunteering.You can，too!

If we want to grow as people，we can't just depend on our own evaluation（评价）of how we're doing.We also need to know what other people think about our performance.Receiving feedback（反馈）from others can help us see the larger picture and show us a way forward to success.However，someone has to give that feedback，and sometimes，that someone will be you.How should you deal with this？
First things first-if you notice a situation in which some feedback would be helpful，give it as soon as you can.If you wait until the matter disappears from the person's mind，they might not understand what you're trying to tell them.Take the person to a safe，comfortable place and offer your advice in private.
When you're giving feedback，it's important to keep in mind that no one likes to be told they're doing a bad job.Make sure you give an equal（相等的）amount of good feedback to balance out（平衡）anything bad.Like the saying goes， " A spoonful of sugar helps the medicine go down."
All good feedback shares something in common.First，it should help achieve a goal.It's less useful to tell your friends that their dish tastes "interesting" than it is to suggest adding a little salt.Feedback should also look toward the future.You can't change what's already happened，but you can prevent it from happening again.Tell your friends they should take more notes in class instead of talking about how they should have studied harder for the big history exam they failed.
Finally，don't think your suggestion is the only correct way to deal with a situation.You might even end up with some feedback on your feedback.Don't take it personally﹣﹣it can only help you give better advice next time.

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.
