Malala was born in Pakistan on July 12, 1997. When she was young, Taliban fighters took over her hometown. Taliban is an extremist(极端主义) group that does not believe in a girl's right to education. They said girls should not be allowed to go to school. Malala thought that girls have the right to an education. In 2008, she spoke out against the Taliban. The Taliban tried to silence her.
In 2012, Taliban fighters shot Malala on her way home from school. She had to fly to England for medical treatment(治疗). She stayed in England to continue her education. She won the Nobel Peace Prize in 2014, when she was 17. This makes her the youngest Nobel winner in history.
Malala started attending Oxford in 2017. At the age of 22, she graduated from Oxford University,in England. Malala posted photos of her celebration on Twitter. One showed her with her family. The other was taken after her "trashing". Trashing is an Oxford tradition after students complete their final exams.
"Hard to express my joy and thanks right now as I completed my degree at Oxford," she wrote. Congratulatory messages poured in from around the world. One was an American astronaut Anne McClain. "Congratulations on your graduation," McClain said. "For so many, higher education is the start of great things. For you, great things happened before it and I can only imagine the even greater ones to follow."

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?

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.

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.

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.

FROM THE EDITOR
DEAR
READERS.
Happy birthday to us! TIME zine's firse(期刊) came out on March3, 1923. Sure, 96 isn't the most special birthday, comparing with the 100th birthday. But we take every opportunity( 机会)to celebrate. TIME for Kids came along just a little bit later, in 1995. Soon, we will have our 25th birthday!
We have run our Kid Reporter program for many years. Many kids who took part in the program as a reporter are professional journalist(职业记者)now. While they were working with TFK, they caught some great opportunities, like interviewing political leaders, famous people, Olympic athletes, scientists, and more.
Do you dream of being a reporter? Come and join us! On March 15, we will hold our annual(一年一度的) competition to find our next group of TIME for Kids Reporters. Editors from TFK will choose 10 best students.
I hope you will have a chance to report for our magazines and websites during the 2019﹣2020 school year.
All the best,
