On September 1st, 2021, the First class for New School Year moved the classroom to the Chinese space station. Through the way of “connecting heaven(天堂) and earth”, three astronauts, Nie Haisheng, Liu Boming, Tang Hongbo were invited to bring a special “space teaching” for the students.
Nie Haisheng showed students the flute, a traditional Chinese musical instrument he brought to the space station. More surprisingly, he also brought a special family photo of all the astronauts in active service.
Liu Boming gave a general introduction of the inside space station. By the short video, he showed students the space kitchen, fridge and other objects. He also introduced what food they ate a day and how they drank water.
Tang Hongbo prepared two scientific experiments for the students: “Drinking tea with chopsticks” and “growing sweet potatoes in space”. The sweet potatoes that accompanied(陪伴) him all the way from his hometown to space have sprouted. Tang Hongbo also sent a message: “The road of life is long, do not give up your dream because of difficulties. Life requires keeping making progress, and the future is always full of hope. I believe that in the near future, we will meet each other better of ourselves.”
What’s more, in order to let the students know how the astronauts exercise and build a healthy body, the three astronauts led the children on the spot (现场) to play Tai Chi.

But until four hundred years ago the potato was not known to the Europeans. But today it’s one of the main foods in Europe. About half of the world’s potatoes are grown in Europe.

Some people have very good memories and they can easily learn many things by heart, but some people can only remember things when they say or do them again and again.

A good memory is a great help in learning a language. Everybody learns his mother language when he is a small child. He hears the sounds, remembers them and he learns to speak. Some children are living with their parents in foreign countries. They can learn two languages as easily as one can , because they hear, remember and speak two languages every day.

【推荐2】Everyone should do their part to share housework, and should know how to get the basic life skills. However, in some parts of the world, housework is still seen as something that only women do while some men refuse to do. Some of them are even unable to do it when needed.
A school in Spain is introducing special classes that teach boys and young men basic life skills, including cleaning, cooking, and even sewing. These classes are expected to prepare the boys for housework which is usually done by women.
Tony from the school believes this will help the young boys become better. “It seems very useful for our students to learn to perform these skills and we can know how to create a home peacefully in the future.” Tony said. The classes are taught by some volunteers from college. It’s interesting that even the fathers of the students help out and learn some new skills from the lessons themselves.
According to Tony, the classes are introduced to encourage gender equality (性别平等) and make boys more independent and able to help out at home. Luckily, we have got some good news. Tony says that the boys enjoy learning new things. He even points out that it is the first time for some boys to use an iron (熨斗). And it is such a fun and educational experience for everyone,according to him.
Not surprisingly, people hope that more schools will follow the school to encourage gender equality.

【推荐3】When the teacher asked students if they wanted to show their swordplay skills(剑术), many of them raised their hands. This is common in Yingbinlu Primary School(YPS) in Chengdu, Sichuan Province. It started martial arts (武术) training in 2011.
For PE lessons, students in this school can choose from martial arts, table tennis, rope jumping, football and so on. “Only 8 students chose martial arts in the beginning. Now about 200 out of 1,446 students take part in the training,” the headmaster (校长) Chen Xue said.
Lou Yiling is 12 years old. She likes the course so much that she practises swordplay at home. Li Zhuoqian is now a 15-year-old middle school student. She graduated (毕业) from YPS three years ago. She used to be very timid and hid behind her mother when it was her turn to show up. After taking martial arts lessons, she became confident and won many prizes in competitions in Chengdu.

【推荐1】Many students study with little thought about what comes after they study for a period of time.
But what you do after studying could have an effect on how well you learn and remember new information.
When many students finish studying, they often go straight to another activity. Perhaps they look at their phone or computer. They might even play video games or watch television.
But research suggests that resting after you study may help you remember what you studied.
The basic idea is this: by reducing your activity after you study for a period of time, your brain gets a chance to rest. Resting is difficult when you have too much stimulation (刺激) from electronic devices, games, lights and so on.
While this might sound unusual to you, many studies have explored the benefits of resting after learning-what is called “wakeful rest.” If you want to give “wakeful rest” a try, here are a few simple things to do. Rest quietly for five to ten minutes. Do not look at your phone, read stories or play games. Just limit the amount of stimulation you get. It is really that easy!
In addition to wakeful rest, sleep is also important for learning.
The Division of Sleep Medicine at Harvard Medical School notes that sleep helps people to learn in two ways. A report on the school’s website explains that “a sleep-deprived person cannot focus attention optimally (最佳地) and therefore cannot learn efficiently.” It also says, “sleep itself has a role in the consolidation of memory, which is necessary for learning new information.”
Robert Stickgold is a doctor and sleep expert at Harvard Medical School. Speaking with the U.S. National Institutes of Health, or NIH, he noted that new memories can be hard to keep.
“When we first form memories, they’re in a very raw and fragile form,” he said.
Sleep is important for forming memories. Stickgold told the NIH “you get very little benefit from cutting corners.”
The National Sleep Foundation suggests that adults between the ages of 18 and 64 get between 7 and 9 hours of sleep per day. Teenagers may need slightly more, and people over the age of 65 may need a little less.
Try to get some “wakeful rest” after a study session. Then try to get a good night’s sleep.
That’s it-a simple, no-cost way to help you remember what you learn.

【推荐2】People in different countries have different ways of doing things. Something that is polite in one country may be quite impolite in another.

Homework gets you down? If so, you need to learn how to prepare for homework. The advice below can help you make good preparations for your homework, so you can finish your homework more easily.
It can be pretty hard to finish your homework in the living room while your brother plays games. Try to find a quiet place where you’ll be able to study in peace. Your room is often the best, but a place like the kitchen table can also work. If you can’t find a quiet place in your house, or you don’t have own room, try staying after school to finish your homework.
Before you get started, make sure you prepare all the right materials(材料) , and put them on your desk. If you have everything you need, you’ll be able to give all your attention to your homework.
Tidiness(整洁) is important, so clean the mess before you study. Put everything you need in a certain order, and then you can find the things you need easily.
Before you start, write everything that you need to do to finish your homework in a list. Even if you have a school planner, it’s good to have a clear list in front of you at home before you start so that you can check things off as you work.
You need to know what to do at a certain time. For example, science homework will be done from 4: 00-5: 00, and then math work will be finished from 5: 00-6: 00. This will help you stay on route(路线) so that you’re not going away from your work.
| A．Find a comfortable place. |
| B．Write a to-do list. |
| C．Set a certain block(块) of time. |
| D．Get everything you need. |
