We all know that running is good for our health . Have you ever thought that running is also good for the planet? Sometimes a creative mind can bring us a win-win situation.

Plogging is becoming increasingly popular after it started as an organizational activity in Sweden（瑞典）. What is plogging? It is a term referring to the act of picking up litter while jogging. The term “plogging”is created by combining the English word “jogging” and “plocka upp”, a Swedish term that means “picking up”.

A Swedish man called Eric Ahlstrom started the movement. After moving from a Swedish ski resort to Stockholm, Eric noticed a lot of litter when he rode to work each day. So, he decided to do something about it. In 2016, Eric began organizing to pick up rubbish while jogging, and thus “plogging” was born. It spread to other countries in 2018, following increased concern about plastic pollution.

Plogging is considered a perfect activity, as it is positive both for the body, and for the environment. There’s no doubt that moving your body will do great things for your health, and plogging will also add some extra moves like squatting（蹲下）or bending（弯曲）your body. According to a research, while usual jogging for 10 minutes burns about 39 calories.

Plogging is a movement that anyone can join. To get started, choose plogging route that you know is heavily littered but still considered safe. Do not forget to bring your recyclable rubbish bags and gloves, as well as some hand sanitizer（消毒纸巾）, or a bit before going to work, or even in the late afternoon. If you’re not much of a jogger, or just a 15-minute morning walk, the idea with plogging is that you do some physical exercise while helping to pick up litter!

Everyday, about 2 million people plog in over 100 countries. If you have a pair of gloves, a rubbish bag, and enjoy being outside, plogging maybe right for you!

Yang Jun’ao, a 16-year-old student from Nanxian County, Hunan Province, invented a “lotus root harvesting robot (采藕机器人)”.

“I got the idea when I saw my grandmother harvesting lotus roots,” Yang said. His grandmother needed to work very hard under the hot sun and sometimes would badly hurt her fingers when using her harvesting tools.

To make things easier for his grandmother, Yang thought of creating a machine that could automatically (自动地) harvest lotus roots. With the help of his teacher, Yang spent nearly a year building the model of the robot.

The robot moves on its own through the muddy field. It uses image recognition (图像识别) to find roots by looking at the color of the lotus leaves. The machine’s arm then cuts the mature (成熟的) lotus roots.

When Yang showed the machine to his grandmother, she was happy and gave some useful suggestions for improvement. She suggested using the audio player to show the robot’s location in dense (稠密的) lotus leaves. “My grandmother’s suggestion reminded me that any invention must have true value,” said Yang.

Although Yang thought he still needed to make improvements, like finding cheaper ways to make the machines, his spirit was praised by many people. His teacher once spoke highly of Yang, “He is a boy who always thinks creatively. Whenever he comes across problems in life, he always works hard to solve them.”

【推荐2】Have you seen buses without drivers on the road? China is the only country to invent non-driver buses. The name of the non-driver buses is Alphaba. They have been put into use in Guangdong Province. The driving system（系统）is developed independently by Chinese designers（设计者）and engineers.

The highest speed of Alphaba is 40km/h. The bus can go in different directions exactly with the help of GPS. The GPS on the bus is connected with the traffic-control center. There are several electronic cameras around the bus. They help the bus to deal with complex（复杂的）road conditions. Alphaba can judge（判断）rapidly if it needs to stop when there are traffic lights or any dangers 100 meters before it. It will park itself in the right place at the station.

The bus provides the most comfortable seats and the best service for the passengers. It make them feel at home during the ride.

Volvo will use cameras put inside its cars to keep watch on drivers’ behaviors. If the driver appears to be drunk or careless, he or she will be warned or stopped. It’s a risky move by a car maker, even one with a fame for safety like Volvo, which could raise worries about personal privacy.

Volvo’s in-car cameras will keep watch on eye movements to see if a driver pays all his attention to his work. If a driver is absent from his mind, such as looking at a smart phone, or failing to keep his hands on the wheel, the system will call the driver to pay attention to driving again. Drivers who aren't watching the road, or even have their eyes closed, will be warned as well. If they don’t answer, the car will slow down and even stop. The system will be put into all Volvo cars by early 2020.

Besides, Volvo will limit the top speed on all of its cars to cut down traffic accidents. “When it comes to safety, our purpose is to avoid accidents altogether instead of reducing the losses when an accident cannot be avoided.” said Henrik Green, senior vice president at Volvo Car Group. In this case, cameras will keep watch on and stop behaviors that may lead to serious injury or death.

Although some people are worried about whether the camera system will be dangerous to the drivers’ privacy, the camera in the cars can't record everything. In fact, it's just a method to make sure that the drivers work as they should.

【推荐1】Drones (无人驾驶飞机) can do lots of things, including taking pictures from the sky and watching wild animals. Now these small flying robots begin to change the way of farming.

Looking for sick plants

Drones can find bacteria (细菌) that are harmful to plants in the air from a few kilometers away. Farms can check the drones’ air samples (样本) and try to find ways to protect their plants before the bacteria get to them.

Counting cows

When flying over course, drones can follow up the cows and find out which fences need fixing. There are also special cameras on drones. They can help farmers look for animals that could harm their cows.

Water watch

After watering the fields, we can often see some places may dry out faster than others. Other places might not get water at all. Drones can look over the field and make a 3-D map. Using the map, farmers can find out which parts of a field are dry or need imrovement.

Spraying pesticide (喷洒农药)

Different parts of a field might have different altitude (海拔). Drones can check for this when flying above the land. Then, they change their height so that they can spray the correct amount of pesticide over each part of the field. This is more useful than traditional pesticide spraying. Drones can finish spraying a field much faster than with traditional machines.

“Let life be beautiful like summer flowers and death like autumn leaves.” You might have read this famous line of poem (诗歌) before. It was written by Rabindranath Tagore. This year is the Indian poet’s 162nd birthday. He wrote over two thousand poems all his life.

Tagore was born on May 7, 1861. He started writing poetry at the age of 8 and his first collection came out when he was 16. He is known as the “poet of poets”. In 1913, he became the first Asian to win the Nobel Prize in Literature for his poetry collection Gitanjali. He was not just a poet, but also a play writer and philosopher (哲学家). He also wrote and played music.

Tagore’s poems are still widely read around the world. Most of them are about nature, humans, love and childhood. In his poems, he often imagined that children are like ocean waves and mothers are like seashores (海岸); flowers are like children in schools singing and dancing; …

Tagore believed that people should think positively (积极地). Sometimes we get upset when we miss someone or something. But Tagore wrote: “If you shed tears when you miss the sun, you also miss the stars.” Sometimes we are sad and worried. But Tagore wrote: “Never frown , even when you are sad, because you never know who is falling in love with your smile.”

Tagore was also a poet of peace. He believed that countries around the world should work together to make a better world. During World War II, he criticized (批评) Japan for invading (侵略) China. In 1938, he wrote a letter to encourage China.

Everyone should remember Tagore’s dream of a peaceful world because we are often in the face of all kinds of difficulties in life. “Tagore’s poems can open our heart and mind, and hand in hand we can solve the difficulties together,” Jing Ying, vice-president of Shanghai People’s Association for Friendship with Foreign Countries, told Xinhua.
