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﹣yous 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．"
On December 31，I wrote my last card ﹣ to Jake， my husband，and our two kids．And I took a picture of us， so I could remember the feeling welling up inside me． Gratitude．

Mobile phones are one of the most useful inventions of the last 50 years， but not everything that is said about them is good． Mobiles are often believed to be the cause of a number of things from poor eyesight and headaches to house fires． There's even one theory that mobile phones should be responsible for the disappearance of bees!
The theory is that the radiation （辐射） given off by mobile phones does great harm to bees， navigation systems （导航系统）． Bees have a built﹣in system a bit like GPS and this helps them find their way back to their hives．But recently， thousands of bees have failed to find their way home． It is believed they are dying far from their hives．
The problem was first noticed by beekeepers in America and is a lot more serious than it at first seems． The important thing about bees is that most of the crops in many countries of the world are pollinated by them． Without bees， the crops can't continue to grow． Many beekeepers in Europe have reported losing between 50 and 70 percent of their bees． Jim Piper， a London beekeeper， said to the reporter， "My business is becoming worse． Twenty nine of my forty hives are now empty．"
Nobody knows for sure whether the theory is true or not， but it's a fact that bees are disappearing in very large numbers． And we can't manage without them．Einstein said that if all our bees disappeared，man would only live for four more years! If the mobile phone theory is correct， we need to do something about it right now﹣before it's too late．

It's late evening in the middle of the winter． The snow is deep， but off I go into the wild．Suddenly， I hear it： the howl （嚎叫） of wolves． Excitedly， I walk faster in the direction of the howling．
I've been working as a volunteer wolf tracker in Yellowstone National Park for over a year． It's my job to follow wolves to record information about them． Like wolves， however， I don't work alone． I'm one of a team of people who have been in a project to help reintroduce wolves to the park．
Humans have always feared wolves． From fairy tales to movies， the wolf is always the bad guy a danger to humans and other animals． In the 1920s， the organizers of the park shared this view about wolves and made the decision to drive them away from the park．As a result，the number of elk（麋鹿）in the park increased． The elk started looking for food near river banks since they didn't have to worry about wolves．This， in turn， stopped trees from growing along the rivers， doing great harm to the environment there．
The return of wolves has already made a big difference． To begin with， the elk soon learned to stay away from the rivers， so new trees have been able to grow there． The trees become home to new wildlife， such as birds， and provide food for more animals．
The park is now becoming more and more popular with those who want to see wolves in their natural environment． It has also helped the local people make more money， Tourists visit the area，stay in the local hotels， and eat in the local restaurants．
Looking at the wild animals and the beautiful sceneries around me， I am amazed at the changes the wolf has made to Yellowstone．And happily，it is playing a good guy in this story．

I came to the United States from Africa to live with my uncle Jim in Maryland.One year later，I lost my sight because of a serious illness.
Jim told me not to go out.He worried I would get lost or hit by a car.But I was dogged.I told him I'd pay attention.I believed I'd succeed.I must succeed.I must put my will into action.I dreamed of being a broadcaster.
Then a neighbor told me that a public library in Washington D.C.was offering a free course，specially designed for blind people，This was an important chance for me.
But how would I map my way？I knew that the American singer Ray Charles，also blind，got around on his own without a cane （手杖）.His secret was to count steps.But I couldn't seem to do that way.Instead I developed my imagination.sensing the layout （布局）of places I Visited and taking notes of landmarks in my mind.
At first，I would have to stop to imagine and map a new space in my mind，The next time I visited that place，I'd use that to find the way.Today.I am used to doing it，But I've still lost my way many times.I'd have to swallow my pride to ask for help，not thinking what others think or say about me.
Sometimes I'd be down and I'd consider giving up.Perhaps my uncle was right.Maybe I'd stay home and wait until someone came to help.On those days when I lost my way，I'd go to bed with a bad feeling.▲.I had e strong wish 10 bear blindness and be successful，and that was usually enough to get me out of bed the next day and try again.
Along the way I learned to be patient with myself and realized that asking for help didn't diminish （贬低）me in any way，I've got three academic degrees so far.
Today，I'm a reporter and broadcaster.I've achieved my dream.
Yes，I've lost my way many times and found it again.Yes，I've come close to being hit by a car but never bee hit by one.When people ask， "Aren't you afraid to be out alone？" the answer to me is clear；I would face danger and find happiness instead of staying home and being unhappy.

You might not think much about where your garbage goes．But now you might want to know．On July 1，Shanghai introduced a new garbage﹣sorting policy （垃圾分类政策）．People there need to put different kinds of garbage into different bins． Other cities in China will do the same soon．
Garbage sorting is a big problem because there is too much garbage these days．It is bad for our environment．In fact， we can make use of some garbage again． But first， we need to sort it．
For example， if you put an old battery （电池） into the "harmful waste" bin， people can use it to make new batteries． But if you don't， the battery will end up somewhere else．Then， it will pollute the environment．
Garbage sorting and recycling around the world
Germany： There are big machines in supermarkets． You can put bottles in the machines and get money back．
Japan： A truck playing music comes to people's doors to pick up their garbage． There are eight or more kinds of garbage． If you sort any of them wrong， you will get a notice on your door．
Indonesia： People can take buses for free if they give plastic bottles to bus stations． An hour﹣long bus ride costs three large bottles．
Four kinds of garbage in Shanghai
Recyclable garbage includes paper， books， plastic items， and glass bottles． Harmful garbage includes lamps， batteries， and other things with harmful chemicals （化学品）．Wet garbage usually comes from the kitchen， such as food and vegetables． Dry garbage is anything you cannot put into the other three bins， pens and towels， for example．

Stephen Hawking， one of the world's most famous scientists， believed that humans will one day have to move into space， "Once we step into space， our future should be safe，" he said．
Today，many countries are all planning to send astronauts to Earth's closest neighbor：the moon．Some of these countries want to create space stations there within the next 10years．These stations will prepare humans to visit and later live on Mars or other earthlike planets．
①_____Robert Zubrin， a rocket scientist， thinks humans should colonize（殖民） space．He wants to start with Mars． Why？ He thinks sending people to Mars will allow us to learn a lot of things﹣for example，the ability of humans to live in a very different environment．Besides，any progress we make in the fields of science， technology， medicine． and health will do good to people here on Earth．
②______Elon Musk， the CEO of Space X also believes we should colonize Mars． His long﹣term goal is to put one million people there if something bad happens to us here on Earth．
③_____Many people say it's too expensive． Also， most space trips are not short．A one﹣way trip to Mars， for example， would take at least six months．People traveling this kind of distance could face many health problems．Besides，these first people would find life especially difficult in space．On the moon's surface， for example， the sun's rays are very dangerous．People would have to stay indoors most of the time．
④______No matter what different concerns there are， sending people into space seems certain． In the future， we might see cities on the moon or even new human cultures on other planets． First stop： the moon．

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．

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．
"Why did you put so many stones into our backpacks？"we asked．
"I didn't．You did．"He said．"You didn't know it，but I gave you a test today．I listened to every word you said．Whenever you were complaining（抱怨），I added a stone to your bags．Whenever you talked about something with positive（积极的） thinking，I took out a stone．And now look at your backpacks．"Our backpacks were full of stones．
Your negative（消极的） thoughts are like stones．You carry themin your mind just like those stones in a backpack．The more negative thoughts，the heavier your mind．
With great love，our uncle taught us one of the most important lessons in life．

I was filled with doubts and worries until my grandfather told me to stand tall．
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．
