Rainfrests (热带雨林) are sme f the mst amazing places n Earth. They cver nly abut 6% f the wrld’s land, but are hme t mre than half f all living things. These dense frests are full f life, frm tiny insects t large animals, and frm small plants t tall trees.

There have been many great inventins r things that change the way we live. The first great inventin is the ne that is still very imprtant tday—the wheel. This makes it easier t carry heavy things and t travel lng distances.
Fr hundreds f years after that there were few inventins that had as much effect as the wheel. Then in the early 1800s the wrld started t change. There was little unknwn land left in the wrld. Peple didn't have t explre much any mre. They began t wrk in rder t make life better.
In the secnd half f the 19th century, many great inventins were made. Amng them were the camera, the light and the radi. These all play a big part in ur daily life tday.
The first part f the 20th century saw mre great inventins. The helicpter in 1909, mvies with sund in 1926, the cmputer in 1946, jet planes in 1939. It was als a time when a new material was first made—Nyln (尼龙), which came ut in 1935. It changed the kind f clthes peple wre.

By this time mst peple in develped cuntries had a very gd life. Of curse new inventins cntinued t be made. But man nw had a desire (渴望) t explre again. The Earth was knwn t man but stars were nt. Man began lking fr ways t g int space. Russia, United States, China and Japan have made their wn steps int space.
In 1969, man tk his biggest step away frm the Earth. Americans first walked n the Mn. This is certainly just a beginning, thugh. New inventins will smeday allw us t d things we have never yet dreamed f.

This can help us see things frm a different aspect(角度),especially when we're feeling sad r angry.
Self-talking als helps imprve memry.

D yu have true friends? D yu want t knw better between yu and yur friends? There are three different kinds f friends; “pest friends”, “guest friends”, and “best friends”.
The first kind f friend is an acquaintance (熟人), and all yu usually knw abut them is their names. Yu may meet this kind f friend at schl, r n the bus, but yu dn't miss them when they're nt arund. When this kind f friend des smething bad, yu dn't tell them. That is why they are called “pest friends”.
The secnd kind f friend culd als be called “scial partners”. They are clser than acquaintances, but nt as clse as true friends. Yu knw their names, a little f what they like r dislike, and a little f their family histries; yu usually have a few things in cmmn, but yu dn't talk abut anything deep, such as yur wishes r fears (恐惧), and they dn't pen up t yu hw they really feel.
The last kind f friend, the “best friend”, is the ne yu knw the deepest. Yu're like family, and knw everything abut each ther. Yu have n prblem staying at each ther's huses, and yu share yur deepest feelings and thughts. They will crrect yu when yu're wrng. They will always care abut yu, and never d anything n purpse (故意地) t hurt yu.

Free time is a great chance fr teenagers t have fun. But what abut free time when parents are arund? Sme teenagers want t play freely withut parents watching ver them, while parents and experts might think differently.
Lin Ta, a middle schl student, believes teenagers shuld be able t play freely. “Last time I played with my parents nearby, I had a knt in my stmach and was unable t have a really gd time,” Lin says. “My friend Chen Xiaxin has the same kind f experiences. Once, he went ut t play with his classmates, and everyne felt uncmfrtable because his mther was watching.”
Wang Min, Lin Ta’s mther, thinks playtime needs parents’ supervisin (监督). She says, “Peple ften say I like t restrain my child, but that’s nt true. I’m just wrried he might get int truble. Sme kids might have a bad effect n him, and sme games like LARP (剧本杀) might lead him the wrng way. He culd even lse himself int the stries and have a hard time getting back t real life.”

The Sprt f Cncentratin
Every day, it seems, a new gadget (设备) prmises t help me run farther and faster, sleep better, r mnitr my heart rate mre effectively. These gadgets claim they’ll make me a “better me”, r s the stry ges.
Sme f them might actually help, but a few mnths ag. I decided t sell all my sprts gadgets.

In the past, whenever my smartwatch tld me I was running slwer than I “shuld,” I’d frce myself t speed up, even if it was clear that my bdy didn’t want t. But this time, I ran the way I wanted t.
On several ccasins, I was surprised t see real breakthrughs (突破) in my running times when I checked my ntepad after wrkuts. If I had seen thse numbers during the run, I might have slwed dwn. But since I didn’t knw, I just kept running.
Anther psitive thing abut getting rid f all my running gadgets is that it’s helping me cncentrate (集中注意力) mre n the running itself. Since I n lnger feel like I need technlgy t run well, I can g ut and run withut wrrying abut battery life.

Take Eln Musk, fr example. His curisity abut sustainable energy led t the creatin f Tesla and SpaceX. He nce said, “I want t understand why things are the way they are.” This mindset pushed him t revlutinize electric cars and rcket science. Similarly, yung students arund the wrld are using their curisity t slve real-wrld prblems. A 15-year-ld girl in India invented a lw-cst water purifier after seeing her cmmunity struggle with clean water. Her curisity turned int a slutin that nw helps thusands.
But curisity isn’t just fr scientists. It’s abut asking questins and seeking answers. When yu wnder hw a smartphne wrks r why leaves change clr, yu’re using curisity. Schls are nw encuraging students t explre thrugh prjects like cding rbts r grwing plants. These activities help develp critical thinking and creativity.
Hwever, curisity needs curage. Smetimes, the answers aren’t easy. Thmas Edisn failed thusands f times befre inventing the light bulb. He saw failure as a step frward, nt a stp. This attitude is key: never stp wndering, even when things get tugh.
As we face challenges like climate change, curisity will guide us t new slutins. Whether it’s finding renewable energy r curing diseases, the next big idea might start with a simple questin. S keep asking, “Why?” and let yur curisity lead the way. The future belngs t thse wh dare t wnder.

Drnes are flying rbts that can be cntrlled remtely r by cmputers. In the past, they were expensive and mainly used by the military (军事). But nw, cheaper drnes are helping peple in many fields, like rescue wrk and farming.
A French cmpany created a drne called “Agridrne” t help farmers. It uses special sensrs (感应器) t examine crps. By flying ver fields, the drne takes pictures that shw which areas need fertilizer (肥料). This helps farmers save mney and reduce pllutin.
Jean-Baptiste Bruggeman is a farmer wh uses Agridrne. He says the drne flies ver his crps at different times f the year. The pictures tell him exactly where and hw much fertilizer t use. Befre drnes, farmers spread fertilizer everywhere, wasting mney and harming the envirnment.
Drnes als save time. They can check three hectares f land in ne minute. Rmain Farux, the creatr f Agridrne, says this technlgy is like a smartphne with wings. It uses sunlight reflectins t analyze (分析) crp health.
Thanks t cheaper drnes, mre peple are using them. They’re nt just fr the military anymre. Drnes are becming a pwerful tl t slve real-wrld prblems, especially in farming.

The Pwer f Teamwrk in Sprts
Sprts are a great way t learn abut teamwrk. Whether it’s a basketball game, a sccer match, r a relay race, wrking tgether as a team is essential fr success.
Take basketball, fr example. A basketball team has five players n the curt. Each player has a different rle: the pint guard cntrls the ball and sets up plays, the shting guard scres pints, the small frward is versatile and can d many things, the pwer frward rebunds and defends, and the center is tall and blcks shts. If each player nly thinks abut their wn perfrmance, the team will nt d well. But if they pass the ball t each ther, help defend, and wrk tgether, they have a better chance f winning.
In a relay race, teamwrk is even mre imprtant. Each runner has t pass a batn t the next runner. If the pass is nt smth, the team might lse the race. S, the runners practice passing the batn again and again until they can d it perfectly. They als supprt each ther, cheering each ther n during the race.
Sccer is anther sprt where teamwrk is key. The players have t cmmunicate with each ther n the field, telling each ther where the ppnents are and where t pass the ball. They have t trust each ther, knwing that their teammates will be there t help. A single player can’t win a sccer game alne; it takes the whle team wrking tgether.
Teamwrk in sprts teaches us many imprtant lessns. It teaches us t cmmunicate with thers, t trust ur teammates, and t wrk twards a cmmn gal. It als teaches us that winning is nt everything; what’s imprtant is hw we play the game and hw we supprt each ther.
S, the next time yu watch r play a sprt, remember the pwer f teamwrk. It’s what makes a gd team great.
