After “sleeping” for more than 3, 000 years, the Sanxingdui Ruins site (三星堆遗址) surprised the world. Hundreds of cultural relics (文物) have been found there. Here are some relics who want to say hello!
The large bronze mask (青铜面具)  | I look strange, but I am not an alien! I was dug out from the second pit (坑). Some scientists think I am made like Cancong, the first king of Shu, and others think I have close relation to Zhulong, the Torch Dragon (烛龙). |
The unfinished gold mask | Although I’m unfinished, I’m still in style. People who found me told me I am expensive because I am made from 300g of gold. They said my look shows that people of Shu worshiped (崇拜) gold. |
The bronze standing figure (人像) | I wear a tall hat and a long coat with dragon patterns. I am the world’s oldest life-sized standing human figure. Many people think I might be an image (塑像) of the king of the ancient kingdom (王国) of Shu. |
Some bronze vessels | We are bronze cups for holding water or wine (酒). We are also in dragon patterns. Some of us are square, which means we were only used by the king. |

【推荐1】Every now and then you may see news of satellites sent into space. On Feb 21, for example, US company Space X took 46 satellites into orbit(轨道). On Feb 27, China sent 22 satellites into space. Why do we need so many satellites? What do they do out there?
At present, there are more than 3,000 active satellites moving around the Earth, according to Statista, a German company working on market data. Satellites do all kinds of work, from sending TV signals to giving you directions on the road to helping scientists do research.
For example, the 22 satellites China just sent up are part of the Beidou Navigation Satellite System(北斗卫星导航系统). Shared bikes that use BeiDou chips(芯片) can have more accurate(精准的) positioning, so people will find them easily. Drones(无人机) can also use BeiDou to fly.
Before satellites, TV signals didn’t go very far. Mountains or tall buildings would stop them. Phone calls to faraway places were also a problem. Setting up telephone wires (线) over long distances is difficult. With satellites, TV signals and phone calls can be sent directly to a satellite and back down to different places on Earth. SpaceX’s Starlink project is trying to go further. It plans to use satellites to provide internet in the future.
Satellites can also provide information about clouds, oceans, land and ice. They help scientists predict changes in weather and climate. By watching and checking wildfires and volcanoes, satellites help emergency workers deal with natural disasters. Farmers can use satellite pictures to decide the best time to water their fields.
Some satellites fly near other planets. They may look for water on Mars or take close-up pictures of Saturn’s rings(土星环). In 2020, video website Bilibili sent a satellite into space. Its job is to look at other planets and share the pictures and videos with Bilibili’s users.

| B．China has 22 satellites in space altogether. |
| C．Humans have sent many satellites into space. |
| D．There is a serious competition between China and the US. |

【推荐2】Skin-diving is a new sport today. This sport takes you into a wonderful new world. It is like a visit to the moon. When you are under the water, it is easy for you to climb big rocks (岩石), because you are no longer heavy.
Here, under water, everything is blue and green. During the day, there is lots of light. When fish swim nearby, you can catch them with your hands.
When you have enough air on your back, you can stay in deep water for a long time. But you must be careful when you dive (潜水) in deep water.
To catch fish is one of the most interesting parts of this sport. And there are more uses for skin-diving. You can clean ships without taking them out of water. You can get many things from the deep sea.
Now you see that skin-diving is both useful and interesting.

【推荐3】Many people travel to different places in the world by air. Usually it takes a long time, perhaps half a day, for passengers to stay in the plane. So airlines provide passengers with food, but it is common that they feel bad about food taste. Do you agree?
To solve this problem, airlines try hard to improve their food. They would like to do so because they don’t want to lose customers. However, according to some studies, a part of the reason why plane food tastes bad is that at a high altitude we can not taste things as well as we do on the ground. Also scientists find that our noses become very dry even before a plane takes off. As the plane moves up, the change in air pressure reduces one third of our taste buds (味蕾). So our taste buds become senseless. The sad fact, however, is that our noses don’t know it.
All of these help explain why food on the plane tastes so bad. They also help explain why airlines choose to offer passengers salty and hot food. Without doing so, the food would be tasteless. Now there are many studies on this. According to one of them, some volunteers are asked to lie with their feet higher than their heads for weeks. And scientists write down their feelings about food taste.
Scientists try their best, but it is not as easy as they thought. Because they can’t deal with the special environment successfully, such as the change in air pressure, making food taste good is still hard for them.
