Nancy liked inventing things. She wanted to win in the coming competition. Every day after school, she rushed home to work on her invention. At last, she finished it just on the day of the competition.

The invention was a big music box with beautiful lights. Nancy turned the handle (手柄) to light it up. Nothing happened. She turned it faster. Still no light was lit up.

That night, Nancy went to the town hall with a heavy heart. Jenny Rocket, the judge of the competition, came into the hall on her bike. She put the bike against the wall and started to see the inventions.

Nancy’s hands got wet as she came over. “Could you please show me how your machine works?” Nancy turned the handle very fast. Slow music came from the machine and the lights went on and off.

Jenny said, “It needs more power, I’m sure you’ll find a way to make it work better.” Jenny’s words were almost finished when suddenly all the lights went out. Everyone worried the competition would be stopped.

At that moment, Nancy noticed Jenny’s bike. “I know how to light up the room!” she shouted. She connected her machine to the bike and started riding the bike. The light from the machine lit up the hall, Jenny finally finished her saying. “The best inventions solve problems,” she said. “Tonight, we had a problem and one person saved the day. The winner is ... Nancy!”

The year 2022 is a big year for sports in China. That’s because China held the 24th Winter Olympics from Feb. 4th to Feb. 20th in Beijing. What’s more, the 19th Asian Games will begin on Sept. 10th and end on Sept 25th in Hangzhou.

On Aug. 6th, 2018, the official emblem (会微) for the Hangzhou Asian Games was released (发布). The city won the hosting right for the 2022 Asian Games in 2015. It will be the third Chinese city to host the Asian Games after Beijing and Guangzhou in 1990 and 2010.

First held in 1951, the Asian Games is the largest multi-sport event in Asia. It is also quite meaningful to China. The Beijing Asian Games was the first large international sports event to be hosted by China.

To make the first Asian Games in China a great success, Chinese people worked hard to prepare for it. Beijing built a great number of roads and gyms, including the famous Beijing Olympic Sports Center and Asian Games Village. The Games helped the world see China and its achievements. Since then, China has improved its global image (国际形象).

For the 2022 Asian Games, Hangzhou started building 33 sports gyms. The themes of the Hangzhou Asian Games are “green, smart, economical (节俭) and civilized (文明)”. All the Games’ buildings will be environmentally friendly.

It’s reported that a Chinese company has created a new facial recognition (面部识别) system that can know who you are even if you are wearing a mask.     41     COVID-19 has led most people to wear masks to protect themselves and people around.

    42     According to engineers at the Hanwang Technology Ltd., this system is the first to be used in the world. “A team of 20 engineers finished it in about a month, adding a collection of about 6 million unmasked faces and a smaller collection of masked faces,” the company said.

    43     One uses single channel recognition. The other kind is a multi-channel (多通道的) recognition system that uses groups of cameras.     44    

“When people wear a mask, the recognition rate (比率) can reach about 95 percent,” said Huang Lei, Hanwang’s vice president. “    45    ”

Nowadays the new system is trying to know who a person is when he or she is wearing sunglasses and a mask. “In such situations, all of the key facial information is lost, making recognition hard,” Huang said.

As we know, the Asian elephants are in     46    .

According to the science research, they can     47     for up to 60 years. However, most of them do not live that long. People are cutting     48     forests. They are also killing them     49     their fur. So the     50     of elephants is becoming less and less. In my opinion, we have no choice but to protect them. I believe that if we don’t, there will be no more elephants in the world.
