“Life is like a box of chocolates that you’ll never know what you’re going to get.” This comes from a famous American movie Forrest Gump (《阿甘正传》).
Forrest Gump is the main character of the movie. His IQ (智商) is just 75 and he isn’t smart. With his mother’s help, he goes to a primary school. However, many students laugh at him. His mother tells Forrest that there is no difference between him and other people. She always encourages him to be a good man although some kids like to bully (欺负) him. Forrest always keeps his mother’s words in mind and tries to fight for a better life. In the end, he becomes successful.
Forrest’s story taught me a lot. When something bad happens to us, what we think and do truly makes a difference.

Recent three years has been really challenging for people both home and abroad. Our lifestyle has changed completely because of COVID-19. We have to stay at home more often to keep healthy, leaving more space for animals.
In celebration of Earth Day 2021, a new documentary (纪录片) The Year Earth Changed came out. The documentary shows how different the world looks like after a year of worldwide human quarantine (隔离).
“During this most difficult year, lots of people have realized the value and beauty of the natural world,” said Attenborough, one of the narrators (旁白员) of the documentary. “The quarantine also created a special chance to see clearly the relationship between humans and animals.”
While humans spent most of their time at home, there was less noise, less pollution, more food, and more space for animals. In the ocean, without ships nearby, whales and other animals were able to communicate easily. Whale parents could travel farther to feed, knowing their young could hear them from far. They made sounds that scientists had never heard before. On the land, people saw penguins walking in the street, deer passing by stores, and monkeys playing in the park. In the sky, children noticed more and more birds singing and dancing freely.
The documentary reminds us of one thing: making even a small change to what we do can make a big difference. As we stop, amazing things start to happen in the natural world. These changes are recorded in this documentary as well as in our memory.
In the future, humans will develop, and life will continue. The difference is that now we know how beautiful nature can be, and we can choose to keep this beauty with us in life.

【推荐1】Now students’ English handwriting gets worse and worse, which makes their teachers feel worried. Is your English handwriting beautiful? If not, here are four steps that really work!
Use paper that has lines
Using paper that has lines can keep you writing well when you write English words or sentences. Those lines on the paper can help you to write words in the right size. Be sure to fill the lined space completely. And make sure those capital letters (大写字母) are written properly.
Slow down
If your writing is hard to read, try slowing down a little. For some kids, writing slowly makes handwriting clear.
If you write too fast, it’s hard for you to stop where you should, and even worse, you may make more mistakes.
Hold your pen right
When you hold your pen in the correct way, writing is much easier. Some students press down really hard when they write. That makes the handwriting not nice. Try to relax yourself and don’t hold the pen so hard. Let your writing appear nice and clean. If you do so, people will guess you are a student with a good habit.
Draw more pictures
Drawing can improve your handwriting. You need to use the skills to control your pencil better when you are drawing pictures. Even though you have no chance to draw at school, you can practice by yourself at home.
Handwriting is very important. Imagine you are a world-famous movie star or a well-known sports player, what do you do when your fans run up to you? Give them your autographs(亲笔签名), of course!

Everything in our body needs water to work! But sadly, not everyone has access to clean drinking water. In the US, for example, a lot of people living in the countryside get their water from wells and springs—and it can have bacteria in it.
If you drink water with bacteria in it, you might get very sick—some people even die. That’s why people living in the countryside need to clean their water before they drink it. There are a few quite efficient ways to do this. But all of them have at least one disadvantage. Iodine tablets(碘片) have negative side effects on your body if you use them for too long. Ultraviolet(紫外线的)lamps use a lot of energy and filtration(过滤)systems are expensive.
Therefore, we wanted to use a simple energy source. Everyone nowadays carries with them: a smartphone! What if we could clean water with such a common device? Wouldn’t that save a lot of trouble?
We designed a downloadable app and a cheap device that can be plugged into a smartphone to disinfect(杀毒)water(Figure. 1).
The method that our device uses is called electrochemical disinfection. It uses electric currents(电流)to produce substances that can kill bacteria. In our experiments, we used a smartphone to produce the electric current and copper(铜)wires as a source for the antibacterial substance. Copper ions(离子)are released from the copper wire. These copper ions kill bacteria.
Copper can also be dangerous for humans but only in much higher concentrate. We tried to find the perfect balance: where just enough copper ions are released to kill the bacteria, without reaching a harmful level for humans.
With our new device, we were able to kill almost all bacteria in the treated water. Although our device worked really well, we only tested it in a limited laboratory setting—so some things could be different in real life.
We were able to clean three liters(or 8 cups)of water by only using less than 1% of the phone’s battery. However, the disinfection of these three liters took about five hours—which is too long.
Still, all of our tests suggest that it is possible to improve the speed of our device quite easily. When this is done, anyone with a smartphone can use our device to disinfect their drinking water.
Hopefully, our device will be ready for everyday use very soon!
1. What can we learn from the passage?A.Copper ions can clean the water by killing bacteria. |
B.Everyone in the US can afford the filtration system. |
C.Cleaning water with phones uses less battery and time. |
D.It’s safe to use iodine tablets to clean water for a long time. |

Chen Yin is one of the first people in Urumqi to start organizing real life Takagism (密室逃脱) games in the city. Takagism is a game. People are locked in a room together and they have to complete several tasks to get out of the room in the game.
“I decided to organize it just to have fun and play with my friends. Takagism was very new to the city at that time,” says Chen. Chen and his friends play the game just as a hobby, and only ask everyone to pay 40 to 50 yuan. “Most of the time we don’t communicate with those players after room escape, we meet different people every time.” Chen says.
To their surprise, after about a year of holding the game, room escape starts to become more popular, but Chen and his friends decide they just want to keep it as a hobby, and have no interest in making money through the game.

【推荐2】At the age of 12, seeing my grandfather coming into the sitting room and sit down, I said to my brother, “I hope he doesn’t sit down.”
My grandfather wrote poems on great rolls of thin white paper with a paintbrush(毛笔), but over the years I wouldn’t listen to him read his poems. I would leave my Chinese poor as it was, which made listening to him too much of an effort.
On Mondays, he’d sit at Dragon Boat Restaurant with other old Chinese men. While from Tuesdays to Fridays, he was at a small square table by himself with a pot of tea and the Chinese newspaper. Life seemed easy and peaceful for him before he got brain cancer(癌症)and three months later, he died.
I was never particularly kind to my grandfather. At the funeral(葬礼), my heart was filled with a sense of regret rather than sadness. I didn’t even show my grandfather the commonest kindness he was supposed to receive. I was 16 years old then.
Now I am 26. A few weeks ago, during a family dinner at a Chinese restaurant, the waiter talked with my mum about my speaking to him in Chinese, wishing that his own kids could speak a little Chinese as I did. Mom told him I had stopped speaking Chinese for some years and then had suddenly started up again in my late teens.
I have often wondered if my mum knows that my improvement in Chinese had to do with Granddad’s death. Whenever I am stuck for a word, I ask her. Whenever I am with her, or relatives, I practice. Now I am confident that the next time an elderly relative wants me to listen to them, I am not only willing, but also I am able to. In fact, the more I learn, the more interest I have in the fantastic Chinese culture. For me, the learning process is like a journey to rediscover my roots(根).

Liu Yaxuan is totally a homebody. Every weekend, this14-year-old student from Tsinghua High School watches popular TV dramas like The Journey of Flower(《花千骨》) and plays with her mobile phone. She hates playing outdoor sports. "It's too tiring," she said.
She is not alone. In recent years, more and more Chinese teenagers are becoming homebodies. A 2013 survey of kids aged 2 to 14 showed about half of them spend less than one hour doing outdoor activities every day.
To some extent, heavy academic pressure (学业压力) caused this phenomenon(现象). Hu Huilan, 12, from Shenzhen Nanshan Language School, is busy with piles of homework and extra classes on weekends. "I don't want to get behind," she said.
Even if this isn't a problem, kids still prefer indoor life. Wang Yidi, 12, from Anhui No. 50 Middle School, often reads Harry Potter: listens to music and-surfs the Internet at home. "I can do so many things I like at home rather than hang out in smoggy(雾霾的) weather," she said.
But this causes bad health conditions. Chinese teenagers' physical conditions have been declining (下降) for more than 25 years, reported People's Daily last year.
The situation for foreign students is quite different. Zhang Yingke, 15, from Unionville High School in Toronto, Canada, says her peers are not homebodies at all. "They spend their free time outdoors even if it just means going to the park or reading a book under the tree. Nice weather, little homework and rich outdoor activities enable us to do that," she said. After being there for four years, she has fallen in love with running and playing tennis. "It helps me stay energetic,” she said.
