Jane, a reporter, is collecting information for the local newspaper. She is interested in the following things introduced in a magazine.

Smart Schoolbag

Forget to pack the books you need into your schoolbag in the morning rush?

A schoolboy aged 11 has invented a schoolbag. It tells you which books to pack. A small computer and a scanner (扫描装置) are fixed in the bag. As each book is put into the bag, it is checked by the scanner. If any book is missing, a message will be shown on the computer screen to remind you.

Weather Sweets

Can you eat weather?

A university makes that happen. It uses a 3D printer to create sweets based on the weather information of a certain day.

The shapes of the sweets are affected by wind speed. The colors of the sweets are decided by temperature. The sweets act as a weather record of the day when they are made.

Sunrise Bed

It’s hard for you to get up in the morning, isn’t it?

To help you get up, a company has created a “tool”—a sunrise bed.

It wakes you up gently as a sunrise does. Lights built into the bed turn on and start to get brighter and brighter. When the lights are fully on, soft music will begin to play. It will be louder and louder until you turn it off. The company explains, “The gentle light tells your body that it is morning, so it stops producing a chemical that helps you sleep.”

I was in the park with my elder sister, Cathy, on Friday. My sister left her jacket on a chair while we talked to some friends. When we went back to the chair, a girl in a red T-shirt was sitting there. She had some money in her hand. When she saw us, she stood up and walked away.

I asked my sister, “Did you have any money in your jacket?”

She said, “Yes, Anna, I did.”

I said, “Look in your jacket quickly.”

Cathy looked in her jacket, but her money was not there.

“That girl stole (偷) it!” I said, and we both ran after her. We caught her quickly.

My sister was very angry and she said, “Give me the money.” The girl gave the money to Cathy and ran away. We both ran after her, but we lost her.

Then we went home. But before we could tell our parents, my mother said to Cathy, “You left your money at home. It’s on the table in the sitting room. You must be more careful with money.”

So the girl in the red T-shirt was not a thief! She probably thought we were thieves! We felt terrible.

Please telephone us if you know this girl! We are very sorry for our mistake. We would like to say sorry to her and give the money back to her.

Our number is 512667. My name is Anna.

The Double Third Festival is an ancient Chinese festival. It comes on the third day of the third lunar (阴历) month, so it’s not on the same day every year. The day is said to be the birthday of Yellow Emperor (Huangdi). The date was fixed after the Wei and Jin dynasties.

In the Eastern Jin Dynasty, people often bath (沐浴) in the river on that day to wash away bad luck. Wang Xizhi wrote in his LantingjiXu about how people took a bath and wrote poems while drinking. In the Tang Dynasty, people enjoyed drinks and sightseeing. In the Ming and Qing dynasties, people did activities like throwing stones, hiking and listening to music.

In modern times, it is mainly celebrated by the people in the southern parts of China. For the Zhuang people in Guangxi, it is a festival for young people to sing songs and find their true love. Bamboo dancing is another important activity for them. For the Li and Miao people in Hainan, it is a day for remembering ancestor (祖先). For the Han people, it is a time to go outside to enjoy flowers and cook eggs with jicai. The Han people believe the special eggs are good for their health.

It is a group of pages of information that are connected to each other around the world. That is the very beginning of the Web. Since then, the Web has     64     the way people live.

Zhang Guimei, the principal of Huaping High School for Girls, has been given the title “Role Model of the Times” for helping girls from poor families. Here is the moving story of Ms. Zhang.

Zhang moved to Lijiang at the age of 17 to teach in the middle school in Huaping County. Once, she got badly ill but had no money for the treatment (治疗). With the help of the people there, she was able to get the treatment. “From then on, I told myself that I must do something for those people who helped me”, Zhang said.

Slowly, a dream of setting up a free high school for girls in Huaping County appeared in Zhang’s heart. From the year of 2002, she began a six-year journey to look for funds (资金). In 2008, Zhang finally set up Huaping High School for Girls at the foot of the Shizi Mountain in Huaping. The school was the first high school in the country to provide free education for girls who have been unable to continue their studies after completing their nine years of education.

Thanks to her efforts, more than 1,800 girls from poor families have entered universities through her education until now. Zhang has been helping to improve the area as a whole. Influenced by her, many of her students have chosen to teach in poor areas. Now, with Zhang having got the honorary title, the education for girls from poor areas will receive more attention.
