Using iPads to Make Learning Fun
Paper，pencil，whiteboard，textbook are the tools you need if you want to go to school．But recently，you can add another one to the list：an iPad．
Because the popular Apple tablet is not only useful for searching the Internet and watching videos，

Scientists now know that we learn better when we are enjoying ourselves，so recently software developers have made iPad applications（应用程序） that look like video games，but have strong educational
content．One of the best examples of this new form of teaching application is Futaba，game in which up
to four children try to recognize a spinning（旋转的）object，and then identify what it is．The game can be used to teach English，math，foreign languages，or just about anything，and students love it．Teachers can even make their own questions．The important thing is that children enjoy the game，and don't even realize how much they are learning!
So the next time you have to choose between making your child study or letting them play game，just
remember﹣﹣they could do both at the same time!

Why are dogs our best friends．Maybe because they can understand our words much better than we thought，according to a study in Hungary．It found that dogs understand not only what we say，but also how we say it．
"The results were very exciting and very surprising．"Said the researcher Attila Andies，from Eotvos Lorand University in Budapest．
For the study，the researchers first trained 13 dogs for months．The dogs had to sit quietly inside machine，so that the researchers could check their activity．
Then the researcher put headphones on dogs and played people's voice to them．There were four different voice．Some were positive words，such as"well down"，or neutral（不带感情色彩的） words like"however"．The words were also in different tones（音调）．Some were positive and some were neutral．
Brain scans（扫描）showed that the dogs could recognize（辨认）words．as well as the tone of words，much like people do．The positive words with a positive tone brought the stronger activity in their brain's reward centers（反应中枢）．
"It shows that for dogs，a nice phrase can word very well as a prize，but it words best if both words and tones match．"Said Andies．
They also found that dogs deal with meaningful words with the left side of the brain and tones with the right．Human brains work in the same way．
It gave us a new understanding of language，said Andies．That is，not only do humans understand the meaning in words，other species（物种） do too．

What's a spacewalk？ Any time an astronaut gets out of a spacecraft（航天器） while in space， it is called a spacewalk． Astronauts go on spacewalks for many reasons． For example， experiments can be placed on the outside of a spacecraft． This lets scientists learn how being in space affects（ 影响） different things． By going on spacewalks， astronauts can also fix things instead of bringing them back to the earth to fix．
When astronauts go on spacewalks， they wear spacesuits to keep themselves safe． Inside spacesuits， astronauts have the oxygen（氧气） they need to breathe and the water they need to drink． To keep the astronauts and the spacecraft safe， the astronauts must leave and go back to the spacecraft through a special door． When on a spacewalk， astronauts use safety tethers to stay close to their spacecraft． Tethers are like ropes， connect the spacewalkers with the spacecraft． They keep astronauts from floating（ 漂 浮 ） away into space． Another way astronauts stay safe during spacewalks is by wearing a SAFER． SAFER is worn like a backpack． It helps an astronaut move around in space．
How do astronauts train for spacewalks？ One way is by going for a swim． Floating in space is a lot like floating in water． Astronauts practice spacewalks underwater in a huge special swimming pool． For every one hour they will spend on a spacewalk， astronauts need to train seven hours in the pool． Another way astronauts practice for a spacewalk is by using virtual reality（虚拟现实）． It looks and feels just like a spacewalk．
Today， only three countries have finished spacewalks independently． They are Russia， the United States and China． The first person to go on a spacewalk in the world was Alexei Leonov from Russia． Zhai Zhigang is the first Chinese astronaut to go on a spacewalk． The world record of spacewalks is held by Russian astronaut Anatoly Solovyev． He has been on 16 spacewalks and spent more than 82 hours outside in space．

When Reginald Johnston， a British scholar（学者）， first walked into the Forbidden City in 1919， most palaces weren't allowed to visit． But a century later， when the People's Republic of China is to celebrate its 70th founding anniversary（周年纪念） in October，the 599 year﹣ old palace complex（宫殿群） becomes the world' s busiest museum．
Open to the public
In the old days， ordinary people could only imagine what it looked like inside． When the Palace Museum was founded in 1925． the public could go into the palaces． Now 80% of the total area of the museum is open to the public and it will increase to 85% in 2025．
Embracing（拥抱） the world
"It felt like you were hit by hundreds of years of history．"Christopher Allen from Britain said， "I beginto love its history and culture．"
The Forbidden City is becoming more open and friendly to visitors． It attracted about 3.5 million visitors from abroad and 9 overseas（海外的） exhibitions were held in 2018 The Palace Museum exhibition becomes a cultural phenomenon（文化现象） everywhere it goes．
Attracting the youth
On the Palace Museums online store on Taodao， you can find more than 10， 000 cultural products． The ones with cute and humorous pictures of emperors are very popular．
Some favourite products also go offline． For example， the Kangxi Emperor's Favourite Chocolate"， the most popular drink always has people lining up（排队） to get a taste．
As a child， Xu Jing often rode a bike in front of the Meridian Gate（午门）．"I had little memory of the museum then， but now I am more willing to visit it after watching several popular TV shows about the museum， "she said．

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.

We spent holidays with our uncle．He loved to go on walks to collect stones．One day，he bought us backpacks（背包） and asked us to go to the mountain with him and carry the stones．
The whole day we walked around．Every now and then he put stones in our bags．To our surprise，he also took some stones out from our bags．But we thought he had just found better stones．
When we returned to the house，we were very tired．The backpacks were so heavy that we felt relaxed when we put them down．But uncle's backpack was half empty．

For me， height was my trouble． I was much taller than other girls， so I often bent（ 弯曲） my body at the back of the line． I had always felt unsafe as the tallest student of my class in Bala Cynwyd． And I wasn't looking forward to entering the ninth grade．
My grandfather didn't laugh at me． Instead， whenever I tried to bend myself in order to appear shorter， he would tell me "Stand straight and tall， Alisa． "I trusted my grandfather more than anyone else in my childhood． And whenever I was afraid of something， he always told me stories of his life．
My grandfather grew up in war﹣torn（战乱的） Europe．" Stand straight， stand tall "meant something else then． After the war， he went to America． He lived a hard life， "If they could do it， why couldn't I？""Stand straight， stand tall，"he often reminded（提醒） himself． Thanks to the help of a friend， my grandfather got a job． He once told me that he was very nervous at first． He was not only trying to learn this hard new job but also a new language．
"Stand straight， stand tall，" he would always tell himself． I am so proud of my grandfather． After listening to my grandfather 's unusual experiences， I have changed the way I look at my own life．
"Stand straight， stand tall"has become not only a piece of advice to improve my posture（身姿）． It also tells me to be proud of who I am．
And I do．
