In winter, gloves can prevent our hands from getting cold, e for people who ride bikes. Here is a new kind of gloves. They cost £1,000 a pair. People can talk into them as they make a call. The gloves are k as Talk to the Hand.
They come with a speaker into the thumb (拇指) and a microphone into the little finger that can be c to any mobile phone using Bluetooth. Mobile phone users will be able to keep their hands warm while they chat
w taking their phones out of their pockets or handbags.
Designer Sean Miles combines (使结合) gloves with some p of mobile phones, which are recycled through O2. He designed two pairs of the new gloves—one in pink and the other in brown and yellow. They will a on a show and visitors will be able to win the gloves. If more people want to own them, they will then be produced in the near future.
It is said that the n of unused mobile phones in the UK is about 70 million. Bill Eyres, head of O2 Recycle, asks people to recycle their phones. Mr. Miles hopes his work will make people c recycling. The 41-year-old man said, “I hope that my Talk to the Hand project will get people to think again about the w created by not recycling things. If a few more people pay attention to recycling rather than send them to rubbish, I think this project will have reached i purpose.” Take action. Let’s enjoy a green life.
School Lunches from around the World
Do you wonder what children are eating for lunch across the world? Take a look at different school lunches and learn something about kids’ school lives across the world.
In Japan, 99% of elementary school (小学) students and 82% of junior high school students eat kyushoku(school lunch). It includes a bottle of milk, a bowl of rice, usually some types of fish, a salad, some kinds of soup, usually with tofu and vegetables, and a piece of fruit.
In the United States kids have hamburgers and chips for lunch. Those school lunches are making the kids so fat that many are unable to meet the physical fitness standards (标准). The good news is that Improving Nutrition (营养) for American’s Children Act was recently passed. That will help to make school lunches more nutritional (有营养的).
In Beijing, school lunches are usually provided from home. A food service worker picks up the fresh meals from home and sends them to schools.

Writing a good story is no easy task.What’s the secret? Mo Yan, a Nobel Prize winner in literature, believes his success comes from a large amount of reading.
Mo was born into a farming family in a village in Shandong province.He grew up listening to folk (民间的) stories about gods, spirits and foxes.Those stories later became the inspiration(灵感) for Mo’s writing.
Mo left school at the age of 12 and started to work in the fields.Although he was tired after his daily hard work, Mo was always hungry for books.However, there were very few in the village.He read his elder brother’s textbooks and even dictionaries.He helped others with farm work in exchange for books.
After Mo left his hometown and joined the army in 1976, he began to read widely, including works by Lu Xun and many other famous writers.
He studied from these writers but did not copy them.Instead, he developed his own style.“I grew up in an environment filled with folk culture.It enters my novels whenever I pick up a pen.This has affected, even decided, my style.” Mo told a group of reporters in his hometown shortly after he won the award in 2012.
As the first Chinese citizen to win a Nobel Prize in literature, the organization spoke highly of his works.They described his writing as a mixture of fantasy and reality, combining historical and social perspectives (看法).
