【推荐3】Science and technology will continue to develop fast in 2023. Nature and Forbes have made their predictions (预测). Let’s have a look.

	Robots will be more like humans both in their looks and abilities in 2023. These Robots will serve as greeters, waiters and companions (陪伴) of the elderly. Elon Musk’s company is working hard on making human-like robots that will work in our home. More AI systems will play roles in areas like health care and scientific research.
	One of the most difficult challenges the world face today is lowering carbon emissions (降低碳排放). In 2023, we can expect more progress in green hydrogen, a new clean energy with near-zero greenhouse gas emissions. Scientists will also have a safer way to deal with nuclear waste. The used nuclear fuel (燃料) will be buried (埋) 400 meters underground.
	The images from the world’s largest and most powerful space telescope (太空望远镜)—the James Webb Space Telescope—have amazed the world. And the Euclid Space Telescope will be launched in 2023. It will take photos to create a 3D map of the universe. China will continue to build the Xinjiang Qitai Radio Telescope. It will be able to watch 75% of   the stars in the sky at any given time.
	In 2023, people will communicate more smoothly. In China, the Beidou Navigation Satellite System (北斗卫星导航系统) can now be directly connected to mobile phones. We can find where the phones are even when there’s no signals (信号). A US company is also working on a direct connecttion between phones and satellites. The impact of 5G will continue to grow.

【推荐1】When the bell rings, every student takes out an iPad. The light from the screens(屏幕) makes their young faces pretty and lively. That’s what happens every day at my school in the US. We use iPad in class.

I feel surprised and excited when I get an iPad the first day I get to the school. But it is not free. I spend about $100 renting(租) it for three years.

Every iPad at my school has a special learning system(系统) called Focus. Teachers put their teaching material like textbooks and PPTs on it. When we have classes, we enter the system and download(下载) the materials with our iPads.

It makes the classes interesting and efficient(高效). For example, a few weeks ago, we learned about London in the UK. Our teacher prepared a video. Through the video, we saw many places of interest in London. We could not only watch the video，but also see the words at the same time. Because of the video, I know more about the city.

We also do our homework with iPads. We can know how well we do our homework right after we submit (提交) our homework.

①“Mirror (镜子), mirror on the wall, what will I look like in ten years? Will I look pretty if I eat junk food and don’t exercise?”

②To get the answer, you might need a special mirror. French Scientists invented (发明) one. In this mirror, you can never see what you look like today. What you see is what you’ll look like in the future.

③“The mirror is unusual, although it looks just like the one in your bathroom,” says Martin Illsley, one of the scientists.

④“It has a camera inside to take your pictures. Just stand in front of the mirror, and it will work,” suggests Martin. “You also need to tell the mirror what you eat and how you exercise. In this way you put your information into the tape inside the mirror. After a few minutes, the special software in it will produce a future vision (形象) of you on the mirror.”

⑤What will bad habits bring you five or ten years later? This mirror may just show you. If you don’t want it to become true, give up your bad habits right now! Remember that mirrors can not help you keep healthy but you can.

⑥With the development of technology, there will be more inventions like the special mirror. Maybe a map will show you where you will live and work. And a clock will tell you how long you will live in this world. But I still believe that you decide future by yourself. Take action now and make a better future!

【推荐3】Space tourism (太空旅游业) is no longer a thing of science fiction. There are lots of companies planning to send people into space in the next few years. Space X is one of the most famous companies offering trips to space. So far, it has had over 100 customers. And in April, 2022, it sent 4 people into space. Now what can space tourists do while in space? Here are some examples:

See the Earth from Space      Seeing the Earth from a distance has always been a dream.It gives most people a sense of both achievement and wonder,just like people climb the highest mountain and dive the deepest sea on the earth.	Stay in a Space Hotel      Hotels are directly connected with tourism, right? So if there’s space tourism, there might also be space hotels up soon. Orion Span has been planning to send tourists to stay in their “space hotel”.
Eat in Space      Eating is not easy in space. Even drinking water is difficult. Oh, a quick fact! You aren’t allowed to burp (打嗝) in space! Bubbles will come out of your mouth and it might be dangerous to leave them around.	Visit the Moon and Other Planets      Space tourism companies are racing to launch (发射) the first tourist flight to the moon. Although there might be a long way to go before common people can step on the moon, we will probably see it in our life-time. And who knows.

In recent years, we often see people wearing Hanfu on the street. At first, I thought these Hanfu fans, especially those who wore the clothing regularly, were a bit strange. After an interview with the promoter (推广者), Wang Tianjiao, I started to step into its world. Hanfu is the traditional clothing of the Han people who lived in China before the Qing Dynasty. It has been around for about 4, 000 years and changed greatly across different dynasties.
	And now quite a few Hanfu clubs have been set up in universities. Members usually wear Hanfu at their graduation ceremonies or during holidays. Some even wear Hanfu on regular days, too. And these fans created a special day—China Hanfu Day to celebrate traditional Chinese clothing. It falls on the third day of the third month in Chinese lunar calendar (阴历). Wang believes in what she loves. She wears Hanfu in public and takes photos dressed in it for Sina Weibo so that other people can learn about it. She told me,“The return of Hanfu is not about turning back the clock, but about passing down our culture. ”
Hanfu clothing (汉 服) is the traditional clothing of the Han Chinese (汉族). It’s an important symbol of Chinese culture, and it has had a long history for nearly 4000 years.

Jane Addams(1860-1935)
