“Ww! Lk at that! Isn’t it a real fish?” The binic (仿生) fish, named “Jinlin”, was swimming lively like a real ne. It was develped by researchers at Shanghai Ocean University. This inventin isn’t just fr fun—it shws hw humans cpy nature t slve prblems. That is a science called binics.
Over millins f years, animals and plants have develped smart ways t survive. Fr example, kingfishers are experts at mving fast between air and water with very little nise. Thrugh their study, scientists discvered that the birds’ lng beaks (喙) enabled this ability. Then they used the knwledge t change the frnt f the high-speed train. This change cut dwn nise level, increased speed by 10% and greatly saved energy. This cmbinatin (结合) f bilgy and engineering is the key t success in binics. And it has set the stage fr the rise f ther new technlgies.
Driven by rbtics and AI, binics has grwn rapidly. The AI-pwered binic fish “Jinlin” can be used fr envirnmental prtectin and deep sea explratin. In medicine, binic arms can wrk similarly t real arms. Sensrs allw the user t “feel” tuch and pressure. Mtrs help the binic arms make mvements, like human muscles (肌肉). With AI, the binic arms are able t “learn” new tasks and becme smarter ver time. These inventins are examples t shw hw binics bridges bilgy and new technlgies t slve humans’ prblems.
Althugh s much prgress has been made, binics faces challenges. Nature’s designs are hard t cpy perfectly. As fr binic arms, ne key area f develpment is Brain-Cmputer Interface (脑机接口). Mre wrk n direct cmmunicatin between the brain and binic arms is required t cntrl mvements as naturally as real arms. Researchers are als wrking n creating new materials and structures which can sense and repair themselves.
While there’s still a lng way t g, the future f binics is full f pssibilities. Stay hungry. Stay flish. Maybe yu’ll be the next ne t change the wrld!

Deep under the Pacific Ocean lie cral reefs clred by sme algae that live with crals. Crals usually prvide nitrgen (氮) t algae, and in return they get carbn (碳), which gives them energy.
In the early 1980s, a huge heat wave turned mre than 90 percent f these crals a pale, lifeless white. And it was believed that abut 50 percent f reefs with beautiful crals might disappear by 2030. Heat waves warmed up the same Pacific waters in the late 1990s and again in 2015—2016, but scientists nticed that these heat waves didn’t influence the reefs as badly as the first. Maybe crals have fund a way t adapt (适应).
Swimming t cler waters is nt a gd chice fr crals, fr it makes them easily hurt by the changing climate. But crals are able t adapt. Sme turn t thse algae that can deal well with heat. Others can use rws f tiny hairs n their bdies t “fan” away t much harmful xygen (O2) let ut by stressed-ut algae. Certain baby crals change their wn metablisms (新陈代谢) in rder t fight the warming waters. But all these adaptatins can prtect themselves nly t sme degree.
After studying and understanding these adaptatins, scientists are trying t find ways t help crals fight. If researchers can make crals accept algae that can deal with heat pressure r if they energize genes (基因) that can deal with heat pressure, it will raise the crals’ chance f living thrugh future cean heat waves.
“When I g dwn t the sea and see a beautiful healthy reef with these clrful crals, I feel this pleasure f being in this underwater wrld,” a famus bilgist says. “It will be really sad t see it dead. But that des drive yu t want t use yur skills and yur lve t help fight.”

At night, when there is little r n light, yur bdy prduces anther chemical-melatnin (褪黑激素). It helps yur bdy relax and will make yu feel tired, which can prepare yu fr a gd night’s sleep. Yu shuld keep a gd balance between these tw chemicals.
Hwever, fr many peple, it is hard t balance sunlight with darkness. Peple wh stay indrs a lt may nt get enugh sunlight. The light in a huse is usually abut 100 times less than that utside n a sunny day. That’s why it is believed that thse peple shuld get utside in the sunshine. They can get sme exercise, enjy the fresh air and be happy, all at the same time.
There are places where it gets dark fr a lng time in the winter. Peple in thse places are easier t get seasnal affective disrder (SAD). Peple with SAD usually g thrugh bad experiences such as lw energy and sadness. The mst cmmn treatment fr thse peple is t sit under bright artificial (人工的) lights fr sme time.
The rles that sunshine plays in peple’s life are mre than thse abve. Fr example, yur bdy prduces Vitamin D (维生素D) frm sunlight, which is imprtant fr being healthy. In fact, there is mre science abut sunlight fr yu t discver. S next time, when yu ntice the sunshine n yur shulder, take a mment t think, “Why d we lve sunshine?”

Peter writes music. He likes sunds and uses natural sunds as part f his music. He ften went ut t the wild with his micrphne and recrded interesting sunds t put in mvies r t use in his wn sngs. Instead f trying t capture just the sund f ne animal r bird, he recrded the sund f everything all tgether—the animals, the trees, the wind and the earth. He called these recrdings “sundscapes”—the sund f a certain place. Every sundscape Peter recrded had a lt f infrmatin.
Back in his wrkshp, Peter used a cmputer t make a picture f all the sunds ging n in a place. Each animal, bird and insect had its wn place n the picture—its wn ntes in the music. The busier the picture, the richer the life in that place. “While a picture may be wrth 1,000 wrds, a sundscape is wrth 1,000 pictures,” Peter said. “Our ears tell us the sund f every leaf and animal and speak t the natural surces (来源) f ur lives, which may hld the secrets f lve fr all things, especially ur wn humanity.”

Trains g acrss China and they are becming ideal places fr intrducing lcal traditinal culture. A gd example is the K7041 train frm Harbin t Mhe in Nrtheast China’s Heilngjiang Prvince. On the ICH train, Gulayier, dressed in traditinal clthes, sang Orqen flk sngs and his partner played the Orqen jaw harp, a musical instrument.

Hwever, scientists have even bigger ideas. In a vide series called Frward t the Future, three researchers predicted what they imagined wuld be reality in 2045.

Accrding t him, experts are wrking n certain technlgies that can make this happen. They’ve made sme prgress already.
The future has mre than just that. Many ther exciting things culd change the building and ther bjects arund us, says Stefanie Tmpkins. “We’ll be able t build things that are very strng but als lightweight (轻量型的). We dn’t even knw the materials arund us,” she predicted.
Pam Melry believes we’re ging t find that we have a very different relatinship with the machines arund us. “I think we’ll begin t see a time when we’re able t cntrl a machine just by pressing a buttn (按钮) r nly saying sme simple wrds,” she said. Fr example, right nw t land a plane safely, a pilt has t g thrugh many steps in the right rder. But in 2045, in Pam’s wrds, a pilt may just need t say the wrds “prepare fr landing”. Then the cmputer knws the steps it needs t take. Or perhaps, with AI, a pilt wn’t even be necessary.

Circles represent (象征) things that are sft and natural. The rund shape reminds us f things that appear in nature, like the sun, flwers, raindrps and s n. We can als cnnect circles with beautiful eyes, babies’ rund faces... All these things make us feel happy and warm. This is why s many cartn characters’ bdies—heres, kids, gd peple—are rund in shape, because circles represent gdness, happiness and friendliness.
Squares shw things that are unnatural r man-made, r things that are bring r ld-fashined. In Up, Carl, an elderly man, has a square face and wears square glasses, while Russell, an 8-year-ld by with a rund face, always wears rund medals. These shapes shw the characters’ persnalities. Carl is stubbrn (执拗的) and lnely, while Russell is lvely and full f energy.
The angriest shape is the triangle. Kids wh draw a mnster with sharp teeth draw a rw f triangles, dn’t they? That’s because the shape represents fear, distrust and dubt in sme way.

A medical breakthrugh in China is giving new hpe t peple with spinal crd injuries (脊髓损伤). Scientists have created a brain-spinal chip (芯片) that allws paralyzed (瘫痪的) patients t mve their legs, and even walk again.
The chip, nly 1mm wide, is designed t be fitted int the brain and spinal crd. If the natural cmmunicatin between the brain and muscles (肌肉) is lst, this chip becmes the bridge. When the chips wrk, they create a direct cnnectin between the brain and muscles.
The results have been amazing. A 34-year-ld man, paralyzed after a fall, culd mve his legs just ne day after the peratin n January 8, 2025. Tw weeks later, he walked five meters with help. Three ther patients had similar peratins in February and March, all getting better within weeks. Even thugh the patients’ nervus systems were damaged (受损), the chips helped them walk again. This marks a big step in China’s prgress in medical science and it brings hpe fr ver 3.7 millin peple in China.
“This is just the beginning,” Jia, the lead researcher, says. “With the technlgy, these peple may ne day leave wheelchairs behind after 3 t 5 years f training.”
Behind this achievement is a lng jurney f careful research and bld thinking. It tk the researchers ver 10 years t develp the chip. They tested it n animals first, and then n peple.

Many marine species (海洋物种) depend n specific rutes t migrate (迁徙). The rutes ffer these seafaring travellers the right cnditins, at the right time f year, t guide them thrugh the ceans. We humans try t discver the rutes and have drawn ur wn lines, but they are nt clear t us because f unexpected changes in nature.
T find ut the rutes that migratry marine species regularly take, a research team f scientists in Australia and the US have nw created an interactive map that shws the paths cnnecting cean habitats (栖息地).
The new map, named the Migratry Cnnectivity in the Ocean (MiCO), cllects data and makes it easier fr scientists t see where migratry marine species may be falling int the paths. The database (数据库) includes infrmatin n 109 species, based n arund 30 years f data, and shws where they are ging t and frm—including which species crss int whse natinal waters.
“MiCO cnnects almst 2, 000 imprtant habitats and shws the imprtance f crss-bundary teamwrk,” says the research team. They find that all f the species recrded in MiCO have less prtectin at sme pint in their life histry because f different situatins in different cuntries. That means n cuntry is able t fully prtect migratry species if there is n help frm thers. “Fr example, green turtles nest in Csta Rica and migrate nrth thrugh Nicaragua and ut t islands in the Caribbean,” the team says. “Althugh largely prtected in Csta Rica, it is allwed t fish fr turtles in Nicaragua and huge numbers are lst ff the cast there every year.”
MiCO wrks t prvide useful knwledge n migratry cnnectivity t help prtect marine species. In 2023, a UN reprt fund climate (气候) changes are having bad influence n migratry species. MiCO catches the infrmatin frm different time perids and the team hpes it may be used t tell thse changes in cnnectivity. MiCO is als expected t cllect infrmatin n mre migratry marine species because there is less than ne-third f data cllected nw.
“S far, the migratry infrmatin revealed within the MiCO system nly tuches the surface f the true cnnectivity f the glbal ceans,” the team says.

Presently, cld weather kills far mre peple in Eurpe than ht weather. But the study fund that as temperatures cntinue t rise, deaths frm cld weather will reduce ver time. Hwever, heat-related deaths are predicted t rise greatly.
The researchers said the number f predicted deaths culd be reduced if natins are able t find better ways f cutting dwn carbn (碳) pllutin levels. They called fr increased effrts t reduce greenhuse gases and develp air-cling systems in parts f Eurpe. Withut such effrts, places in Italy, suthern Spain and Greece are likely t see large increases in heat deaths related t climate change.
On the ther hand, much f Scandinavia and Britain are predicted t see fewer cld-related deaths, largely because lw temperatures are expected t be mderate.

“Fr students wh are wrried abut math, psture (姿势) makes a big difference,” Erik Peper, a researcher frm a university tld Daily Mail. That’s right—sitting up straight can help yu d better in math exams.
Researchers tested 125 cllege students. They asked them t d a math exam while sitting in a slumped-ver (趴倒的) psitin, r sitting up straight. After the test, 56% f the students said the exam was easier t d if they were sitting up straight.
Slumping ver is a defensive (防备的) psture. It can bring ut negative (消极的) memries in the bdy and brain. This can stp yu frm thinking clearly, Peper said.

Thugh ceans cver abut 71 percent f the earth’s surface, there’s still a lt we dn’t knw abut them. Only abut 20 percent f the seaflr has been mapped, and the remaining 80 percent is still a secret t us. Sme scientists even think that 91 percent f sea animals have yet t be discvered.
S why d we knw s little abut the deep sea? Well, getting t thse depths is very difficult and requires high technlgy that simply didn’t cme int being fr mst f human histry. The first navigable submarine (可驾驶的潜水艇), fr example, was built in 1620, and it culdn’t g mre than five meters belw the surface. In fact, fr a lng time many scientists didn’t even think that there culd be any life at depths greater than 550 meters and didn’t see much need t explre (探索) the deep sea. Hwever, this changed in 1862 when life was discvered as far dwn as 945 meters belw sea level with the help f a digging machine. Ten years later, arund 4, 700 species (物种) unknwn befre frm the cean flr were discvered.
Since then, high technlgy has been develped t help explre the deep sea, including satellites. But why is deep-sea explratin still s difficult? Well, at greater depths it is freezing (极冷的), everything is cmpletely dark, and the pressure can be ver 1, 000 times greater than that n the surface.
Thugh we have the difficulties, it’s imprtant that we understand the seas. They help cntrl the earth’s temperature and prduce half f the xygen (O2) in the air.

An ld saying used fr frecasting (预测) the weather says, “Red sky at night, sailrs’ delight. Red sky in the mrning, sailrs (水手) take warning.” Is the saying true? It turns ut that it is. A red sky at sunset may mean that there are clear skies t the west, where the sun sets. A red sky at sunrise usually means that the clear weather has already passed, s strms might be cming.
Frecasting the weather has been practiced fr thusands f years. In the 5th century BC, the Greeks sent ut frecasts t sailrs. They used signs in nature t frecast the weather. But tday, meterlgists send exact frecasts further in advance (提前). They use scientific instruments t study weather cnditins arund the wrld and make frecasts. Pilts, farmers and many ther peple depend n these frecasts. Luckily, mst f us can simply lk n the smart phne r turn n the TV t find ut what kind f weather is cming.
If yu are lking fr sme signs f the weather, pay attentin t nature. There are tw basic rules used in weather frecasting: Weather generally mves frm west t east, and lw air pressure (压力) usually means rain r snw. S pay attentin t the signs.

A new study has suggested that the key t reducing feelings f anger is nt venting (letting the angry emtins ut) but ding calming activities such as yga r meditatin.
The study was published in March by Sphie Kjaervik and Brad Bushman frm Ohi State University in the US. They wanted t explre the ppular thery that venting (expressing) anger is a gd way f reducing it. Examples f venting anger include shuting r hitting smething like a cushin, s that yu let g f the emtin and therefre dn’t feel it any mre. The pair lked at 154 ther studies n anger. These invlved 10, 189 peple, and included a variety f ages and backgrunds. In their study, Kjaervik and Bushman define anger as “an emtinal respnse (反应) t a real r imagined threat (威胁)”. They used a thery f emtin (情绪假说) that says emtins are partly felt in yur bdy and partly in yur mind.
The scientists lked at the ther studies t see hw different activities influenced anger. They fund that activities such as running r bxing—which are ften thught t be gd fr dealing with anger—weren’t very gd at reducing it. In fact, sme f these activities actually made it wrse because they increased physical respnses in the bdy that are linked t feeling angry. Fr example, they made peple’s hearts beat faster. Hwever, activities that decreased physical respnses in the bdy did help t reduce feelings f anger. These included activities that slw the heart rate, such as deep breathing, meditatin and yga. Bushman says activities that increase physical respnses may be gd fr heart health but are “definitely nt the best way t reduce anger”.
The team fund jgging was mst likely t increase anger. Hwever, sme heart-rate increasing activities—like ball games and team sprts—culd reduce anger.

Have yu ever imagined what bees can d with their tiny brains? Nw scientists are lking int a bee’s brain.
Clint Perry, a scientist, has spent much time studying hw bees think. He says studying bees is nt very different frm studying ther animals. “The main difficulty is t design (设计) an experiment (实验) bee and get what we want,” he says. “With humans, we can ask them a questin and get an answer. But we can’t use the same way t get an answer frm bees. They are just trying t get sugar. Bees like sugar.”

And when the task was easy, bees wuld try it.
As fr humans, we might chse nt t take a test when we weren’t ready fr it. And we might chse t take the test when we were well prepared. In the same way, bees seemed t make decisins like humans.

Many peple may thrw away the pits inside fruits after eating them, but inheritrs f nut carving（核雕继承人）have turned them int artwrks instead.

Nut carving craftsmen als need t have knwledge in many areas. Accrding t Tan, they have t master skills in painting, seal carving and calligraphy frm many traditinal cultures.

Wrldwide, there are mre than 1, 400 kinds f bats. Mst bats are insectivres, which means they eat insects. In a single night, bats can eat insects f “up t half their weight.” This is gd news fr farmers, since bats eat insects that harm crps. Accrding t the USFWS, the animals help U.S. farmers save mre than $3 billin a year in insect cntrl.
Nwadays there is n treatment fr white-nse syndrme. But scientists are develping ways t help bats. A 2018 study fund that a special light can kill the fungus.

Kids need hmewrk. When they learn smething new in schl, reviewing it at hme helps them remember it. Our hmewrk gives ur teachers valuable infrmatin. It tells them hw much students are paying attentin in class and wh needs extra help.

In my pinin, giving students hmewrk is a bad idea. After schl kids need experiences that build a healthy mind and bdy. Hmewrk is nt suppsed t stress kids ut. When there is t much hmewrk, students d prly in hmewrk. In fact, ding hmewrk prly is wrse than ding n hmewrk. As lng as students are wrking hard in class, it’s best nt t give them extra wrk.

Kids dn’t need hmewrk. They’re learning fr six hurs a day at schl. Adding anther hur f wrk fr kids t d at hme is just having them repeat what they’ve been ding all day.

Daydreaming, called “thught experiments” by Einstein, can make yu have wild imaginings, like flying arund in space.

What wuld happen if yu tried t blw a sap (肥皂) bubble in belw-freezing weather? Wuld it freeze and fall t the grund? Wuld yu have t hit it with a stne t break it? These questins came int my mind ne cld winter day. It was t cld t play in the snw, but it was a perfect time t experiment with blwing frzen bubbles.
T blw frzen bubbles, I had t wait until the air utside was very cld. Fr this activity, that meant 10 degrees belw 0 Fahrenheit r clder. I didn’t have the bubble things that cme in a bttle, s I used dish-washing sap. Adding a drp f glycerin made the sap wrk even better. I chse a place ut f the wind, and blew bubbles the same way I always d. I watched t see what wuld happen. Here’s what I learned.
If the temperature is lw enugh, the skin f the bubble frsts (结霜) ver, becming cludy instead f clear. And what abut thse rainbw swirls (漩涡状物体) that yu see in sap bubbles? The rainbw clrs stay even (均匀的) when the bubbles frst, but they dn’t spin anymre. The bubbles still flat in the air. They dn’t fall t the grund any faster than they wuld n a warm summer day.
When these frzen bubbles break, they dn’t turn int tiny drps f sap as summer bubbles d. They turn int shiny rainbw pieces and fly slwly t the grund. Smetimes a frzen bubble will rll acrss the snw withut breaking. If it breaks, it may leave a strng bubble skin n the grund. Leave the bubble alne and it may stay there fr a lng time.
Smetimes I culd catch a bubble and hld it until the heat f my hand made it pp.
I learned ne ther thing abut blwing frzen bubbles. It’s s much fun. I want t try it again next year!

Team can be hard, but wrking alne has its challenges, t. When my cmputer desn’t wrk, I dn’t have an IT persn t turn t. When I have a great idea, I dn’t have anyne t share it with t see if it really is a great idea. Dn’t get me wrng—I still like my team f ne and enjy making all f the imprtant decisins myself.

Chinese, Japanese and Krean all have simpler number wrds. They express math cncepts (概念) mre clearly than English. The language difference has drawn lts f attentin. Several recent studies have cnnected weaker math abilities f English-speaking children with English number wrds.
Chinese, fr example, has just ten basic number wrds. English, hwever, has mre than tw dzen (一打). The truble starts at 11. English has a wrd (eleven) fr that number. Chinese, Japanese and Krean have wrds that can be translated as ten-ne—spken with the ten first. That makes it easier fr these children t understand the place value (位值). And the students can easily see the number system cmes frm units f 10.
English number wrds ver 10 dn’t make the place value clear. Wrds fr numbers 13 t 19 change the rder f the nes and tens. Children ften mix 17 with 71. As a result, children wrking with English number wrds have a harder time ding difficult calculatins (运算). They make mre mistakes.
It als feels mre natural fr Chinese speakers than fr English speakers t use the make-a-ten methd. When adding tw numbers, Chinese students ften break dwn the numbers int parts and regrup them int tens and nes. Fr example, 9+5 becmes 9+1+4. This methd greatly helps students wrk ut math prblems. Many teachers in America are teaching their students the make-a-ten methd. Hwever, they are still having truble because f the unclear and difficult English number wrds.
Nw, yu shuld feel lucky that yu are learning math in China. Thanks t yur mther language, all the math prblems have becme clearer and less difficult.

D yu get in truble fr feeding yur dg n fd frm dinner under the table? A new study suggests that by sharing “peple fd”, yu might actually be helping t keep yur pet healthy.
Many dgs are fed dry prcessed fd. Science has shwn that a diet (饮食) f prcessed fd is nt healthy fr humans. Scientists frm the University f Helsinki, in Finland, say this diet is nt gd fr ur pet dgs, either.
The scientists discvered that the fds a dg might find in an wner’s hme such as eggs, fish, meat and vegetables may be better than a diet f just dg fd. This is because having different kinds f fds leads t mre variety (多样性) in micrbes, which are little living things, t small t be seen with ur eyes. There are millins f them in human and animal bdies. Sme are bad fr us, but many are gd fr us, and they play imprtant rles in helping us digest (消化)fd.

The wners were asked abut what fds they had fed their pets and hw ften. When the dgs reached adulthd, their wners reprted that abut 20% f the dgs shwed CE symptms (慢性肠胃不适症状) such as weight lss.

Well, maybe it’s time t intrduce yurself t the pwer f “yet”. By adding this simple wrd, yu can change everything. “I really dn’t understand this Maths prblem yet.” “I can’t get int the schl team yet.” Suddenly, the impssible becmes pssible. Yu can imagine thse things happening.
②I read abut a schl that has changed the way it marks its students’ exams. The schl find ut that the ld pass/ fail system wasn’t helping students’ mtivatin(积极性). If yu passed, then great, but thse students wh didn’t pass ften felt like failures. S nw students wh dn’t pass the exams will nt see a big red F n their papers; they see a “Nt yet” instead. That way the students feel that they are n a jurney. They haven’t reached the end, but they knw that they are ging the right way.

They dn’t think that they are able t change. Clearly, it is better t have a grwth mindset than a fixed mindset.
④But dn’t wrry if yu think that yu have a fixed mindset. ________. Remember that it all starts with questining the things yu believe abut yurself. Stp believing that yu can’t r yu haven’t and realize that yu just can’t r haven’t yet. Once yu start ding this, yu’ll wnder why yu didn’t d it befre. It’s ne small but very pwerful wrd.

Many f us have seen rainbws in the sky nce the sun starts shining again after it rains. Fr us t see a rainbw, the cnditins need t be just right. We need sme water drps in the air, like rain r even fg, and we need the sun t be behind us and quite lw t the grund. This is because a rainbw is created by light passing thrugh water drps.
The light that cmes frm the sun seems white t us. But the white light we see is made up f a mix f different clrs. When the light ges thrugh a raindrp, these clrs can separate ut. Each f the clrs in the rainbw has a different “wavelength” (波长). Raindrps lk like little balls. When light hits ne f these little balls f water, the light can change directin. We call this “refractin” (折射). Each f the different wavelengths is refracted differently. If the light hits the raindrp at the right place, the refractin separates the wavelengths ut int their different clrs.
We are taught there are seven clrs: red, range, yellw, green, blue, indig and vilet. But this isn’t exactly true. Blue and green are next t each ther in the rainbw, which is why we can see turquise (a mix f blue and green). Brwn is a mix f red and green. But they aren’t next t each ther in the rainbw, s we dn’t see them mix t make brwn.
We wuld never see black and white in a rainbw. Black is what we see when there’s n light at all. On the ther hand, white is a mix f all the clrs tgether. When light is refracted by raindrps, it separates the white light ut, meaning it is n lnger white.

Warming temperatures and shrter winters might sund like the end f snw days. Hwever, rising temperatures may actually cause snwstrms t dump mre snw, says David Rbinsn. He is a prfessr at a university in New Jersey. He studies climate (气候) change.
Temperature change is ne f the greatest in Earth’s climate change ver a lng perid f time. It can happen naturally r because f human activities, such as burning gas and cal. Burning these fuels prduces carbn dixide (二氧化碳) and ther pllutants int the atmsphere, which hld heat in the atmsphere, leading t warmer glbal temperatures ver time.
But hw culd warmer temperatures lead t mre snw? T get snw, yu need misture (水汽) and freezing temperatures (0℃ r less), says Rbinsn. Withut misture in the air, there is n precipitatin (rain r snw). Rbinsn says there are signs that snwstrms are becming strnger. This is because f this cnnectin between misture and precipitatin.
“The warmer the air becmes, the mre misture it hlds. S, if it’s warming and still cld enugh t snw, yu can get mre snw,” Rbinsn says.
Of the 10 biggest snwfalls in D．C． regin, five happened in the past 25 years, accrding t the NWS. During that same time perid, average winter temperatures in D．C． increased. In 1996, the average winter temperature was 1.8℃. In 2020, it was 6℃.
Weather experts suggest that rising temperatures may make winter shrter and less cld. But fr nw, the snw is still falling. One day, winter might nt have any days belw the freezing temperature. Once temperatures stay abve freezing, snwstrms becme rain. Until then, we might cntinue t see strng strms.
Accrding t Rbinsn, that time culd cme sner than we think. He says, “When we lk back, years frm nw, we may see that this was the breaking pint.”

A garden is much mre than just creating a beautiful envirnment. It can be a way t save r even make mney and, mre than that, it can be a place where yu can express yurself. Fr me, it’s a bit f all these things. I knw it may sund strange fr a 13-year-ld girl t be interested in gardening, but I have always been and I wuld lve t make a career (职业) ut f it.
I have learned many things these past few years. I have been reading abut and ding sme gardening. S, here is my tp advice abut gardening. First, yu d nt need t spend a lt f mney t have a beautiful garden. Sme f the gardens that I think are the prettiest are just lines f plants. There aren’t many garden decratins (装饰) and pathways. It’s just beautiful plants with fruits and vegetables. We can als find many useful things fr free, frm pieces f ld wd t ld pts and pans. Or, we can build things fr free frm materials that ther peple have thrwn away.
If yu just remember that planting what is mre than yu need will take the stress away f lsing sme plants, yu will save yurself a lt f wrry, t. Besides, yu need t ask yurself which plants prduce enugh fd t make them wrth grwing. I actually sat dwn and did the maths n that ne this spring. It amazed me what sme plants were wrth. A tmat, fr example, can prduce £50-£150 wrth f fruit. It takes up a lt f space but that’s a lt f mney cming ut f a 50-pence seed (种子)! S if I had knwn earlier what each plant culd save us, I wuld have tld my parents t fill ur garden with different plants.
And finally, gardening desn’t have t be all r nthing. But then I guess that’s mre f a persnality weakness than anything. I struggle with ding things a little at a time. Once I decide t d smething, I usually devte every waking hur t it fr a little while and then get tired. S it’s kay t just have ne tmat plant, and it’s kay t have an ff year. It will save yu a lt f stress.

The study, which invlved giving the birds a cmputer that they culd use t make vide calls, fund that they began t engage in mre scial behavirs including preening, singing and playing. The birds were given a chice f which “friend” t call n a tuchscreen cmputer and the study shwed that the parrts that called ther birds mst ften were the mst ppular chices.
Ilyena Hirskyj-Duglas, f the University f Glasgw and a c-authr f the study, said that vide calls had helped many peple feel less islated in the last few years. She added, “There are 20 millin parrts living in peple’s hmes in the USA, and we wanted t explre whether thse birds might benefit (受益) frm vide calling t. If we gave them the chance t call ther parrts, wuld they chse t d s, and wuld the experience benefit the parrts and their caregivers?”
Their study f 18 pet parrts suggested that there were, indeed, benefits fr the birds. In the wild, many species f parrts live in large grups, but as pets they are, kept alne r in a small grup. Living alne can cause birds, t develp mental prblems, which include rcking, walking back and frth, r self-harming behavirs such as feather-plucking.
The parrts first learned t ring a bell and then tuch a pht f anther bird n the screen f a cmputer t make a call t that bird, with the help f their wners. In ttal the birds made 147 calls t each ther during the study, while wners tk detailed ntes n the birds’ behavir and the researchers later reviewed the vide ftage.
Jennifer Cunha f Nrtheastern University said that the parrts “seemed t knw” that they were cmmunicating with ther birds. “All the bird wners in the study said they valued the experience, and wuld want t cntinue using the system with their parrts in the future,” she said.
“I was quite surprised at s many different behavirs,” said Hirskyj-Duglas. “Sme wuld sing, sme wuld play arund and g upside dwn, thers wuld want t shw anther bird their tys.”

When cnsidering the kind f experience that makes life better, mst peple first think that happiness depends n experiencing pleasure: gd fd, gd jbs, all the cmfrts that mney can buy. If we culdn’t have these, we might as well sit in frnt f the televisin n a quiet evening.
Pleasure is an imprtant part f the quality f life, but by itself it desn’t bring happiness. When peple think further abut what makes a wrthy life, they tend (倾向于) t mve beynd pleasant memries and begin t remember ther events, ther experiences that verlap (有重叠) pleasurable nes but fall int a grup with a separate name: enjyment. Enjyable events take place when peple have nt nly satisfied a need r met sme earlier expectatin, but als achieved smething unexpected.
Enjyment is characterized by a sense f curisity, f achievement. Playing a tennis game that imprves ne’s ability is enjyable, as is reading a bk that shws things in a new light, as is having a cnversatin that leads us t express ideas we didn’t knw we had. Nne f these experiences may be especially pleasurable when they are taking place, but when we think back n them afterwards, we wuld say, “That really was fun” and wish they wuld happen again. After an enjyable event we knw that we have changed, and grwn.
Experiences that give pleasure can als give enjyment, but the tw feelings are quite different. Fr example, everybdy takes pleasure in eating. Hwever, t enjys fd is mre difficult — yu have t pay enugh attentin t a meal, s as t sense and tell its varius tastes. As this example suggests, we can experience pleasure withut any psychic energy, while enjyment happens nly as a result f full attentin. A persn can feel pleasure withut any effrt, as lng as certain parts in his brain are stimulated (刺激). But it’s impssible t enjy a tennis game r a bk withut full attentin. It’s fr this reasn that pleasure des nt last lng, nr des it make us grw. Grwth requires full attentin t gals that are new, that are relatively challenging.
Withut enjyment, life will g n, and it can even be pleasant. But it depends heavily n luck and the external (外部的) envirnment. T achieve persnal cntrl ver the quality f experience, hwever, we need t learn hw t build enjyment int what happens day in, day ut.
47．Yu will mst prbably experience enjyment when yu ________.

In additin, the wasted fd prduces ver three billin tns f carbn dixide (CO2), which speeds up climate (气候) change. What can we d t slve this fd waste prblem?

In the near future, the dctrs wh treat ur illness might be tiny machines that swim thrugh ur bdies. Sme mvies have played with the idea f making machines the size f a cell (细胞). Tday rbt technlgy has brught the idea clser t the real life. In my labratry, I’m just trying t build such intelligent, r smart, tiny rbts.
Tiny living things, such as bacteria (细菌), have many intelligent actins. If we can make rbts cpy sme f them, it’s very exciting. The way bacteria travel acrss their envirnment is unbelievable. At first, they mve arund withut purpse, but when they start sensing fd, like an amin acid (氨基酸), they will mve gradually in that directin. As an expert making rbts, I think it is great t make tiny rbts that can d the same thing.
Fr example, lk at smething like E. cli (大肠杆菌). It can sense amin acids arund it. It can change hw it’s mving. It can rebuild r repair itself. In fact, E. cli des all these s well that sme researchers are using it as part f their tiny machines. They are making their tiny rbts get free rides frm E. cli. And E. cli des all the sensing fr tiny rbts and directs their mvements.
We’re already using smaller and smaller medical tls, like catheters (导管) that can travel deep int yur brain t treat a bld clt (血块). Next, we will put tiny rbts int the bdy that can travel int even smaller spaces and treat illness at an early time. Imagine a tiny rbt that can treat a bld clt deep in yur brain that can’t be reached with the catheters we are using tday.
We may nt actually need smething as pwerful as artificial intelligence (AI) in these cases. We can still build a very useful tiny rbt with a lw degree f intelligence. Fr example, if a tiny rbt ntices a bld clt, it can slwly mve in that directin, and carry medicine directly t that part. It might nly have the intelligence f bacteria but culd still wrk.

D yu get in truble fr feeding yur dg n fd frm dinner under the table? A new study suggests that by sharing “peple fd”, yu might actually be helping t keep yur pet healthy.
Many dgs are fed dry prcessed fd. Science has shwn that a diet (饮食) f prcessed fd is nt healthy fr humans. Scientists frm the University f Helsinki, in Finland, say this diet is nt gd fr ur pet dgs, either.
The scientists discvered that the fds a dg might find in an wner’s hme such as eggs, fish, meat and vegetables may be better than a diet f just dg fd. This is because having different kinds f fds leads t mre variety (多样性) in micrbes, which are little living things, t small t be seen with ur eyes. There are millins f them in human and animal bdies. Sme are bad fr us, but many are gd fr us, and they play imprtant rles in helping us digest (消化)fd.
A ttal f 8,500 yung pet dgs tk part in the study. 4,500 f them were under 6 mnths ld, and the rest were between 6 and 18 mnths ld. The wners were asked abut what fds they had fed their pets and hw ften. When the dgs reached adulthd, their wners reprted that abut 20% f the dgs shwed CE symptms (慢性肠胃不适症状) such as weight lss. Hwever, if dgs had been fed a mixed diet while yung, it was 22% less pssible fr them t experience CE symptms later in life.

Peple believe that every wrd has its crrect meaning(s). When we are nt sure, we usually check nline, r turn t ur teachers r dictinaries. But d yu knw hw dictinaries were made in the past?
Dictinary writers first read the imprtant bks f the perid r the subject that the dictinary was abut. As they read, they cpied necessary infrmatin n cards: interesting wrds, cmmn wrds—bth in their daily uses and unusual uses, and als the sentences where they were used. That is t say, the wrds, alng with the uses f each wrd, were cllected. Fr a really big dictinary, millins f such cards were cllected. This task culd last fr years. As the cards were cllected, they were put in alphabetical rder (A—Z). When this was dne, there wuld be several hundred cards fr each single wrd.
Then, t define (定义) a wrd, the dictinary writer placed its hundreds f cards befre him. He read the cards clsely, threw away sme, read the rest again, and divided up the cards accrding t what he thught were the cmmn uses f the wrd. Finally, he wrte the definitins, fllwing the hard-and-fast rule: each definitin must cme frm an example n a certain card in frnt f him.
S, the writing f a dictinary was nt a task f inventing meanings f wrds, but a task f recrding their meanings. The writer f a dictinary was a histrian, nt a law maker.

Learning abut AI ▲ AI wrks by using algrithms (算法), r step-by-step instructins, t help cmputers understand and wrk with infrmatin. Fr example, if yu wanted t teach a cmputer t knw different types f fruits, yu wuld give it a lt f pictures f fruits and tell it which nes are apples, bananas, and s n. The cmputer wuld then use this infrmatin t find ut what new fruits are. This prcess is called “machine learning”.What can AI be used fr?
AI is already being used in many different areas. Fr example, AI can be used t:● diagnse and treat diseases;
● drive self-driving cars;
● recmmend mvies and TV shws accrding t yur viewing histry;
● help teachers give marks t papers.

Chinese nine linked rings puzzleIt’s believed that the nine linked rings puzzle was created in the Western Han Dynasty. And it is usually made up f nine rings cnnected t a handle (手柄). Players have t remve (移除) all the rings frm the handle t win the game. This is nt a simple game. The slutin takes 341 mves, s lts f patience is required. But if yu learn t slve it, it’s hard t frget.
TangramFirst ppular in the Ming and Qing dynasties, the tangram is a puzzle made up f seven pieces f different shapes. Fr each puzzle, players need t use all the pieces t make a shape. T d it, they have t knw abut gemetry (几何学). In the 18th century, the tangram was brught t the West and sn became ppular there.
Luban lckThe Luban lck was first created by Lu Ban 2,000 years ag. The lck has a lt t d with slid gemetry (立体几何). It’s hard t separate the six pieces. Hwever, it is usually easier t unlck a Luban lck than t put it back tgether. Nw, there are Luban lcks made up f nine r mre pieces.

Let’s talk abut ur cuntry’ high technlgy!
I have taken C919. It’s a large passenger plane made in China. The letter “C” stands fr China. The first “9”means “frever” in Chinese culture and the “19” stands fr 190 seats.
Lk at the picture. Its name is Striver. It can dive (潜水) t a depth f 10909 meters. It’s unbelievable, isn’t it?
This is BeiDu Navigatin (导航) Satellite System (BDS). It is widely used all ver the wrld. If yu want t g smewhere, just pen the app and enter the destinatin.
Technlgy is the first pwer!It is a great jy and a matter f pride t see China’s high technlgy is brightly shining frm the sky t the grund.
It is widely knwn that China has well-develped high-speed railway netwrk (铁路网) in the wrld. Nw, the cuntry is breaking its wn speed recrd with the CR450. The CR450 can travel at a tp speed f 453 kilmeters an hur. Once put int use, it will take just abut 2.5 hurs t travel frm Beijing t Shanghai, which takes at least 4.5 hurs at the mment. Even thugh it can travel s fast, it can als start braking (刹车) quickly, taking just 1.7 secnds, and its nise level keeps lw. It creates a safe and cmfrtable envirnment fr passengers. With the advantages, the CR450 shws China’s leading rle and great pwer t the wrld.
The AG60E is China’s self-develped lightweight tw-seat electric plane. It is 6.9 meters lng, 2.6 meters high and 8.6 meters wide. It is mainly designed fr pilt training, flight experience, and private travel. It uses an electric pwer system. Cmpared with the traditinal plane, it desn’t send ut greenhuse gases, and its nise level is much lwer. The AG60E electric plane draws the wrld’s attentin, fr it is a practice f China’s aviatin industry (航空工业) twards air pllutin. The AG60E is nly a starting pint. It is expected t becme an imprtant frce t achieve green and lw-carbn develpment in the field f aviatin.
N ne knws wh invented pencils r when it happened. A Swiss described a pencil in a bk in 1565. He said it was a piece f wd with lead inside it. (Lead is a very heavy, sft, dark gray metal.) Pencils weren’t ppular, and peple cntinued t write with pens. They used bird feathers as pens.
Then, in 1795, smene started making pencils frm graphite (石墨), and they became very ppular. One pencil can write 50,000 English wrds r make a line 55 kilmeters lng.
Peple wrte with feather pens and then used pens with metal pints. They had t dip (蘸) the pint int ink after every few letters. Next, smene invented a funtain pen that culd hld ink inside it. A funtain pen can write several pages befre yu have t fill it again.
Tw Hungarian brthers, Ladisla and Gerg Bir, invented the ballpint pen. English pilts liked the pens. They culdn’t write with funtain pens in airplanes because the ink leaked ut. Later, a French cmpany called Bic bught the Birs’ cmpany.
Sme peple call ballpint pens “Bics.” Australians call them “Birs.” Whatever we call them, we use them every day.
Knw the gals
Make sure everyne understands the gal f the prject. If yu’re ding a class prject, yu need t check the teacher’s instructins carefully and ask questins whenever smething isn’t clear. There’s a ppular saying: If yu dn’t knw where yu’re ging, yu prbably wn’t get there.
Assign (指派) rles
Everyne shuld have a rle in the team. Fr example, there shuld be a leader wh helps everyne make decisins. There might be a nte-taker wh writes dwn the team’s ideas during meetings, and a time-keeper t cntrl the time. There might als be a fact-checker r a grup speaker.
Divide the wrk
Fr large prjects, the wrk can be divided int smaller tasks. Then yu can chse tasks that yu d well r enjy. Of curse, yu shuldn’t always d the same task. It’s gd t try new things, even if they’re difficult!
Make a plan
After yu divide the wrk, write dwn a plan n paper. Yu can use a calendar t help yu. List all the tasks and think abut when each ne must be finished. It’s imprtant fr everyne t fllw the plan. And if yu can’t finish yur part n time, tell the thers as sn as pssible.
