Sunscreen (防晒霜) protects our skin from sunburn. But did you know that it is harmful to coral (珊瑚) living in the ocean?
Some chemicals in sunscreen, such as benzophenone (二苯甲酮), can kill coral. Every year, about 4,000 to 6,000 tons of sunscreen flows into coral areas, according to the US National Park Service.
About four years ago, Zhang Baoxin, who studied at Guangdong Experimental High School, read about this and decided to make an environmentally friendly sunscreen to protect the marine (海洋的) environment.
Zhang read lots of things about it and then put forward a new formula (配方). She mixed natural plant oils with safe and commonly used sunscreen ingredients. She tested about 10 kinds of plant oils and after trying about 20 formulas, Zhang found a jojoba oil formula that is effective, cheap and easy to make.
Zhang wrote a paper to explain her findings. The project made Zhang a nominee (候选人) of the Stockholm Junior Water Prize, an award to celebrate teenagers who help solve major water challenges. She was the only nominee from the Chinese mainland in 2020.
“With my formula, anyone can make sunscreen at home. You just need a blender to mix the oil and the powder,” she said. She wants to study environmental science in college. “I hope to use my knowledge to make a better world.” she said.

Yamasaki sometimes dreamed about his work. Once he woke up at three o’clock in the morning. He remembered a building that was in his dream. He got up and started to draw. Yamasaki used a new design for the buildings. These buildings are now the Century Plaza Hotel, and Tower in Los Angeles, California.
Yamasaki was different from other architects. His buildings give people a feeling of peace and happiness. Many of his designs have pools of water, flowers, and windows on the roof to let in light. He always designed buildings to please people. He wanted to give them a place away from the busy ways of modern life.
Yamasaki worked for several companies. But his success began when he started his own company. In 1956, he won the Architect’s First Honor Award for his design of an airport in St. Louis, Missouri. He won two more awards over the next five years. In 1962, he designed the World Trade Center in New York. It is very famous.
In 1993, a bomb exploded (炸弹爆炸) in the World Trade Center. But the buildings did not fall down because they had a good design.
Yamasaki had strong opinions about his buildings. They had to be built his way. He refused to change the design of his buildings, even if he lost a job.
Minoru Yamasaki died in 1986. He designed more than 300 buildings. People will enjoy the design and beauty of his buildings for a very long time.

Enjoying a swim at their local beach was once a daily pleasure for Melati and her sister. But in 2013, when Melati was 12, and Isabel just 10, the sisters started to lose their love for swimming in the waters near their home on the island. When they walked back to shore, red and white plastic shopping bags would stick to their legs and bodies.
Melati didn’t think much about it until later in 2013, when her teacher gave a lesson on world heroes. Each of the heroes made a positive change to the world.
One night, the sisters talked about ways to fix the plastic pollution. Their parents agreed with the girls’ ideas. Soon, they gathered a team of 15, made up of school friends and students from other schools. They named their group “Bye Bye Plastic Bags (BBPB)”. Its task was simple: stop local people from using plastic bags.
The following year, the BBPB team spent their lunchtimes having meetings and organizing activities to stop plastic bags. Within 24 hours, more than 6000 people, both local and people from around the world, had signed up.
Melati and Isabel’s effort has made big changes. In 2017, they organized the first beach clean-up. Around 12,000 people collected 36 tons of rubbish across 55 locations. It became the biggest clean-up ever on the island and is now an event every year. In 2018, the government helped to stop single-use plastic bags. The law took effect in July 2019. Then, in 2020 the government promised to reduce plastic waste in the sea by 70 percent by 2025.
Today, BBPB is a global youth movement and has more than 50 teams in 29 countries. Their teams are given a set of tools for starters and a handbook prepared by Melati and Isabel. It explains how to organize teams, events and how to better understand the plastic situation in their own community.

| Several dead after woman fought with driver, causing bus to fall in China river. By the Associated Press, Friday, November 2nd, 2018 |
| BEIJING (AP）--A fight between a bus driver and a woman passenger who missed her stop caused the bus to fall off a high bridge into China's Yangtze River. Wanzhou police said the 48-year old woman passenger asked the driver to stop after she missed her stop, but the driver didn't. She walked up to the driver's seat and talked angrily with him. The driver turned his head several times to talk angrily. Some of people tried to stop them, but it didn't work. The woman strongly hit the driver on the head with her mobile phone. The driver took his right arm off the steering wheel（方向盘）and fought back, then quickly turned to the left, making the bus out of control. Thirteen people, including the two drivers died at once. Another two died on the way to hospital. The doctors rushed to the place at the news of the accident. By 5 a.m., all of the injured（伤者）were sent to three local hospitals for treatment. A hospital said most of the patients were in a good condition, but a few were still in danger. Because of the icy roads, the highway was closed by police sine Tuesday morning. But the bus driver chose the dangerous road, paying no attention to the warnings. According to a 2009 national public survey, traffic accidents were considered as people's third biggest problem. However, many people still die and hurt because of traffic accident today. From these accidents, we must learn a lesson: obey public rules in order to reduce the danger from accidents. |

All the villagers loved her. What’s more, she had a wonderful voice. So people thought of her as the top singer of folk songs. And many singers often competed with and learned from her.
