【推荐2】Have you ever been fascinated by the brightest star in the night sky? Do you want to know where it came from? US author Rebecca Dwight Bruff wrote about it in her newest book Stars of Wonder, which tells a story about whimsy(奇思妙想), curiosity, courage, and great love.
The book is about a group of five young children who go on a journey to follow the Star of Wonder. The three princes—Jonah, Nathan and Jacob—are joined by their sister, Princess Phoebe, as well as their friend Sumar. As the kids make their way towards the brightest star, they face danger from wild cats, evil(邪恶的) kings and even the desert. Facing these challenges, the children learn how to work together. After coming across wild animals, for example, the group is forced to go separately. So they decide that one group will continue the journey and one group will look for fresh supplies.
Stars of Wonder is Bruff’s first children’s story. She creates an interesting and inspirational adventure story with simple words. Children must overcome difficulties in order to see the star with their own eyes. The way the children talk to each other is charming and funny and their childlike wonder at the things around them is also very real.
With Bruff’s story to warm our hearts, we’ll be reminded that no matter what happens in our daily life, we are supposed to face challenges bravely and keep fighting. Only in this way can we have what we really want.

   Dreams Become Art A team at Tsinghua University developed a brain-computer interface (交互) system that can “translate” brain signals into drawings. The system is designed to collect the data of brain signals during people’s sleep. Then the system can turn the data into pieces of art that express the theme of the dream. If it’s a nightmare, the system will produce a cooler and darker picture. ___________________ People have to wear face masks due to COVID-19, which makes it more difficult for the hearing impaired (听障人士) to read lips. A team led by the University of Glasgow, UK, designed a new recognition system. The system scans (扫描) the speaker’s face and records lip movements under the mask. It then translates the movements into text. The system can correctly read masked lips up to 80 percent of the time. Making Cyber (网络) Skin A team of researchers from China and Germany recently developed a type of artificial skin. It is based on a kind of nanomesh (纳米网). Also, if the skin is damaged (破坏), its material can heal itself. In the future, the skin could be used to develop robots that are better than existing robots and are not easily damaged over time. |

All over the world, thousands of animals are used for wildlife tourism. People travel to watch monkey shows, hug baby tigers and swim with dolphins. It might look like fun, but there are reports that animals are hurt now and again. The World Animal Protection (WAP) says that up to 550,000 wild animals are exposed (暴露) to ill treatment around the world; in Cambodia, for example, it’s been reported that elephants have died after carrying tourists for long in hot weather. This is getting attention—over 100 travel companies have promised that they will no longer open up such places. However, some people argue that animal tourism isn’t always as bad as it seems. So what do you think?
| Group Yes | Group No |
| ●Animals weren’t put on this planet for enjoyment. They should be free to live as they choose. ●The way animals are treated is often cruel and causes much pain. Even if treated well, they can’t act in the same way as they would in the wild. ●We don’t need wildlife tourism. We can see animals close up in their natural home in TV programs. There’s no need to disturb (打扰) them in real life. | ●It is enjoyable and educational for people to communicate with the wonderful animals. The more people know about them, the more they want to protect them. ●Wildlife tourism brings money to poor area and may be the only way for some people to make a living. ●Not all animals are treated badly.

【推荐3】Uluru is the world’s second largest sandstone rock. It is 348 meters high, 3.6 kilometers long and nearly 2 kilometers wide. It is believed that the rock has been there for 600 million years. The Aborigines（澳大利亚土著居民）began living in the area 10,000 years ago.
Many tourists can’t help climbing Uluru when they see it. But climbing it is not a good idea because it’s very dangerous, especially after rainfall. Over 30 climbers have died since the 1950s. For many years, the Aborigines have wanted to stop anyone from climbing Uluru. For them it is a very important place, not a playground. The rock is believed to show Aboriginal spirits. The Aborigines are very happy to see people from all over the world come to look at Uluru. But they do not want them to climb it. Visitors are supposed to learn more about the Aborigines and their culture.
After the UNESCO（联合国教科文组织）handed the land to the Aborigines, they have discussed whether to close Uluru to visitors for many years. Now it is decided that from October 2019, visitors can’t climb Uluru, but only look at it.
But what about the effect（效果）of the new rule? Only time will tell.
