【推荐2】Scientists will put some robot fish into the sea near Spain（西班牙）this year. These robot fish will help people find out the pollution in the water. If the robot fish are able to finish their work successfully, the team of scientists hope the fish will be used in rivers, lakes and seas around the world.

The robot fish are about 1.5 meters long. There is a detector in their bodies. It can find the pollution in the water, and then the robot fish will eat part of it.

They can “swim” for eight hours in the sea freely and send back information to people on the beach. After their energy（能量） runs down, they will go back to the beach by themselves.

There are five robot fish altogether（总共）. Each costs about 29, 000 dollars. They are part of a three­year project between engineering company BMT Group and Essex University in southeastern England.

【推荐3】Imagine-you are running to catch a train, only to find that you forgot to bring your ID card! There is no way you can get on the train without it. Don’t worry. In the near future, people will just need a digital ID on their smartphones.

On March 11, 2022, at a two sessions news conference（两会记者招待会）, Premier Li Keqiang said that the government would introduce a digital version（版本）of the national ID cards this year. One aim is to better meet the basic living needs of more than 100 million people who live away from their home provinces. These people have to go to school or work at different places rather than their homes. Sometimes to show that “I am who I am”, they have to run back and rush between provinces to provide ID. It is a waste of time, money and manpower, noted The Paper.

Digital ID cards can allow relevant（相关的）information to be gotten by a simple scan（扫描）with a smartphone, said Premier Li. The government would also provide convenience for people who do not use smartphones, especially the old. The safety and privacy（隐私）of people’s information would also be taken note of, said the Premier.

In fact, China’s Ministry of Public Security started a pilot trial（初步试验）of digital IDs in 2018. It allowed people in cities including Quzhou, Hangzhou and Fuzhou to apply for digital national IDs on Alipay, reported China National Radio. The digital ID could be used to open bank accounts（账户）, check into hotels and buy high-speed railway tickets, among other things.

China gave out its first ID card in 1984. The current ID card is the second-generation（代）version, with an embedded chip（内嵌芯片）and digital encryption（加密）. The ID number is made up of 18 numbers standing for the holder’s birthplace, birth date and gender（性别）.

【推荐2】Listen to your books

With the development of technology and the Internet, there is a new trend（趋势）in reading audiobooks. More people are choosing to listen to audiobooks these days, according to this year's national reading report.

The report was released by the Chinese Academy of Press and publication (CAPP ). It shows that audiobooks have become quite popular among most readers. One in three adults listen to audiobooks. They mainly use popular audio sharing platforms（平台）like Ximalaya.

Kids have also been a main driver（主要驱动力）in the development of audiobooks. Ximalaya noted that the value of audiobook purchases (购买）made by those aged 13 to 18 in 2018 increased by 330 percent over that of 2017, the Beijing Evening News reported.

In addition, around 26. 8 percent of children under 3 years old listen to audiobooks. Most of them listen at least once a week. Their favorite categories（分类）are "stories for kids" and "poetry reading".

One of the reasons audiobooks have taken off is that people want to get more use out of their free time, China News Service reported. Whether they're at the gym, on a bus, or in bed, people can enjoy reading without a heavy paper book or an e-reader. Faster internet speeds mean one can download a whole book in just seconds, according to Wei Yushan, director of CAPP.

Audio app content designers have invited broadcasters (播音员）and production(制作）groups to join in content production. Both the quality and number of audiobooks being offered have greatly improved. More people can find the audiobooks they like the most, the report says.

【推荐3】Americans think much about time. From children they learn to value（珍惜）time. As children, their parents ask them to be on time to go to school, to work and to do everything. When they have a good time, they say that time goes easily. When a person is dying（死）, they say that he is living on borrowed time.

Time is money. Time is knowledge（知识）. Time is everything in America. A working American has to work hard for eight hours a day or forty hours a week. This is working time. In his free time, he also works hard in order to get more money. Even on Saturday, he also works hard as usual. In the street you can hardly（几乎不） see that a man walks slowly. They walk very fast. In fact, they are running.

They love time because time can bring them money and a lot of things. But sometimes they also hate time, because they feel they become servants（仆人）of time.

【推荐1】Toothpaste does more than just keep our teeth bright and white. It can be used wisely in many other ways. Here are some useful tips that can save us time and money, and leave a fresh smell — using toothpaste!

Clean a Dirty Mirror

If you want to clean a dirty bathroom mirror, try to put a bit of toothpaste on the mirror and wipe it dry. The glass can be cleaned up beautifully. And doing this can also stop the mirror from fogging. Then you can still see yourself in the mirror after taking a shower.

Remove the Unpleasant Food Smell

Have some bad food smell, like the smell of onions or fish, on your hands? You can remove it by washing your hands with toothpaste. You’ll be fresh-smelling in no time.

Make Your Sports Shoes Whiter

This time, clean your sports shoes by yourself, not by your mother. Wipe some toothpaste around your shoes and then clean it with a wet cloth. See? Your shoes are white as new! A little toothpaste also does an amazing job of removing scuffs (磨痕) from leather shoes. Just put a little on the scuffed area and clean with a soft cloth. The leather will look like new.

Make the Metal (金属) Shining

Rings will get not so bright or shiny over time, yet with a little bit of toothpaste and a good washing, they’ll be shining away right away. But do not use this method on pearls (珍珠), as it will hurt the surface.

【推荐2】What will the weather be like tomorrow? Some people say they can forecast (预测) the weather from animals.

Some of them look at seabirds. When they see seabirds fly high, they say it will be a nice day. When the weather is bad, the seabirds stay on the shore(岸). They don't like to fly in strong winds and they sit in trees when rain is on the way.

Other people look at different animals on the farm. For example, chickens may make a lot of noise and run here and there when rain is on the way. Frogs(青蛙) can tell the weather, too. When rain is on the way, they stay in water and make a lot of noise too. But when it is a nice day, they will be quiet and jump out of the water.
