Have you ever noticed how many calories (卡路里) you eat in a day? There is a special convenience store opened in the Chengdu Youth Palace. If you “shop” there, you can find out how many calories there are in different foods.

The store was opened on May17th, 2022. It’s part of the “Know Your Food” program of the UNICEF. The purpose of the program is to make children and young people know more about foods and help them make healthy choices about their diet.

Instead of real foods, many imitation (仿制) snacks are put on the shelves in the store, including candies, sugary drinks and latiao. People can take them to the self-service counter (柜台) to see how many calories they have. In addition, the store offers many models and cartoons to help people understand which foods are very good for them and which foods they should eat less often.

At present, obesity (肥胖症) has become a serious problem among children. It is shown that nearly 20% of children between 6 and 17 years of age, and over 10% of children under the age of 6 in China are overweight. Experts also point out that the increasing availability of cheap, highly processed foods and drinks can lead to the rapid growth of children who are overweight.

Being overweight is known to have many bad influences, such as having a higher risk of getting disease and a higher risk of developing emotional and behavioral problems. Such a store helps to remind children to care about what they eat. At the same time, similar stores are opened in other cities, such as Weihai in Shandong Province.

To many in the Gulf (海湾), Ghanim Al Muftah is a familiar face. Ghanim was born in May 2002 in Qatar, without the lower half of his body due to an unusual disease. Even though the young boy was only given 15 years to live by his doctors, his parents didn’t give up on him.

Ghanim’s school life was not easy. He was often very sad because no one liked to play with him. His mother comforted him that his classmates were just afraid of hurting him, not scared of him. She also encouraged the boy to communicate more with his classmates and let them know more about his illness. His mother’s words cheered him up and made him become more optimistic.

Now, at 20, Ghanim is an example to the world and especially to those struggling with physical disabilities. He did not make his disability a reason to give up. Instead, he used his weakness to develop a strong personality.

A surprising fact about Ghanim is that he loves sports and actively takes part in football, skateboarding, ice hockey and even scuba diving. He is also one of the youngest businessmen in Qatar. His ice cream business provides jobs for the people in the city. At the same time, with his family’s support, Ghanim has also set up an organization to give away free wheelchairs to disabled people in need.

The young boy lives up to the meaning of his name. “Ghanim Al Muftah” means “the winner” in Arabic. He is not just a kid who survives (活下来) a deadly disability, but he lives a wonderful life. He is an image of strength and courage who teaches the world that no difficulty is big enough to prevent someone from living the life of their dreams.

Do you like drinking coke? Do you know we can cook chicken with it? And does it have anything to do with our mobile phones? The latest cell phone, the “Coke Phone”, by the Chinese designer Daizi Zheng is a surprise.

Daizi Zheng is a famous designer in England. The company asked her to design a phone that is not bad for the environment. As a result of her research, she found that normal phone batteries are expensive and bad for the environment. It also uses many good resources to make a normal battery, so she wanted to design a battery that is green. Then cellphone that drinks coke was born.

The cell phone has a bio-battery. It gets power from sugar, so users only need to pour a glass of coke into it, and then watch the coke turn into power point. Once the battery dies, only oxygen and water are left. Bio-batteries can last three to four times longer than the usual batteries. In fact, Zheng said that not only coke bat also soda with sugar can be good resources to power the cell phone.

If so, you may never look at a can of coke in the same way again.

If you were a little screw (螺丝), could you stick to your post (岗位) forever? Lei Feng answered the question with his service to his country.

Lei Feng was probably the most f    56     soldier. He helped many people w    57     he was alive. He carried luggage for the elderly and p    58     food for the poor children. He once gave all his money to his friend`s sick parents and he damed (缝补) pants and socks for his fellow soldiers.

Lei Feng h    59     spoke about what he did for others. After he died in 1962, people found his d    60     and learned about him. He became a symbol of the giving spirit. “There is a limit (限制) to one’s life, b    61     no limit to serving the people.” Lei Feng said.

In 1963, Chairman Mao Zedong called on the nation to learn from Lei Feng, and each year’s March 5 has been n    62     as “Lei Feng Day”. On that day, students do all kinds of volunteer work to learn from the role model. This year, some fifth graders in Shijiazhuang put the shared bikes a    63     the road in order.

Being a volunteer needs to learn a lot. According to Jiang Meng, a 26-year-old volunteer from Shougang Group Winter Olympics Youth Service Team, volunteers have to know all about the events. They also keep in m    64     the history and stories behind them to better show the beauty of Shougang and Beijing to guests. “People say volunteering is about g    65    , but I’ve got a lot through being a volunteer—the honor and the praise, as well as the growing personal skills,” said Jiang.
