Jia Meng used to keep a diary (日记) in Chinese. But one year ago, the 14-year-old girl from Hei Longjiang began to write her diary in English, because Jia found her mother was reading her diary secretly. She changed the language because her mother can’t read English. “It’s like killing two birds with one stone.” said Jia, “My privacy (隐私) became safe and my English improves a lot.”
Jia’s mother is not the only mom who reads her child’s diary. Recently, Renmin University of China had a national survey among over 2, 3000 parents. The results show that 40% of parents read their children’s secrets. That’s why, like Jia, many teenagers try to find ways to protect(保护) their privacy.
Wu Lei, 15, of Shanxi, keeps a diary, too. But he doesn’t write in on paper. He writes online which he thinks is perfectly safe because his parents “know nothing about the Internet.”
Lu Huan, 13, of Guangdong, said her parents always secretly listened to the talk between her friends and her on the telephone in their room. To solve this problem, Lu asked her parents to buy her a mobile phone.
“Parents want to know what is going on in their children’s lives,” said Shao Xiazhen, a teenage expert in Beijing. “But sometimes they go about it the wrong way.” Shao suggested to teenagers that instead of hiding their secrets, talking to parents is a better solution. “If your parents know that you are safe, they’ll let you keep your secrets.”

【推荐1】A makeshift hospital（临时医院）has been set up by members of the California National Guard in California, in the US.
Feng Bangli, from Wuhan, Hubei, began to have a fever at the end of January and suspected that he had been infected（感染）with the virus. He tried several times to be allowed to enter a hospital but failed. He gave up and stayed at home, taking drugs prescribed （开药方）by doctors.
At that time, “too many patients were waiting to see doctors at every hospital, and it was not possible for me to get a bed,” said Feng. Days later, with the community staff’s help, Feng tested positive for COVID-19 and was sent to a makeshift hospital for treatment.
“Without such makeshift hospitals, many COVID-19 patients like me may never have found a bed,” said Feng, who recovered（恢复）and was discharged（获准离开） from the makeshift hospital in Wuchang district at the end of February after staying there for 12 days.
Like Feng, more than 12,000 COVID-19 patients in Wuhan received treatment and care at 15 makeshift hospitals, which were converted（改造）from exhibition halls and sports stadiums. These hospitals, which mainly received patients with mild symptoms（轻症）, contained one in every four confirmed COVID-19 patients in the city, said Ma Xiaowei, minister of China’s National Health Commission.
“Building makeshift hospitals was a key decision made in the critical（关键的）moment when Wuhan was facing a formidable task of epidemic（疫情）control, and it has played an important role in both prevention and treatment of the disease,” he said.
Makeshift hospitals have greatly reduced pressure（压力）on designated （指定的）hospitals to receive and treat patients, which made it possible to treat and isolate（隔离）all people in need, said Xu Junmei, vice-president of Wuchang makeshift hospital. “They were the life vessels（生命之舟）during the peak of the epidemic.”

【推荐3】In the fight against the new coronavirus（新型冠状病毒）, Chinese people have come up with many creative ways to solve different problems. They have shown their wisdom（智慧）during hard times.
Amazing China speed
In cities like Wuhan that have large numbers of infected（被感染的） people, more hospital beds are needed. The quickest way to solve this is to build makeshift（临时的）hospitals.
On Jan 23 and 25, the government decided to build Huoshenshan Hospital and Leishenshan Hospital in Wuhan. More than 4,000 workers worked day and night, and nearly 1,000 large machines and transportation helped with the project.
Within less than 15 days, the two hospitals were set up. They provide about 2,600 beds in total. The speed shocked many people around the world.
All for masks（口罩）
During that period, medical things such as masks are in great need. To increase production （生产） over 3,000 Chinese factories have transformed their production lines to make medical things. For example, a factory that used to make clothes spent 55 hours transforming their production lines and is now able to make 1,200 protective medical suits every day. Several car factories in China have also turned their production lines into mask-making lines.
Sharing workers
The idea of "sharing workers" became popular during the period. As most people were staying at home, many workers in restaurants, cinemas and shopping malls had no work and were not getting paid. However, online everyday and medical things continued to grow, making the workers from Dingdong, Freshhema and other online shops too busy.
As of Feb 10, over 1,800 workers had started their new short-term （短期的）jobs as delivery（送货）workers with Dingdong and Freshhema, Xinhua reported.

【推荐1】Men have won most of the Nobel Prizes in science in the past. But this year, we saw more women winners.
Jennifer Doudna from the US and Emmanuelle Charpentier form France shared the Nobel Prize in Chemistry. It’s the first time in history for two women to win the prize without having to share it with a man. At the same time, US astronomer Andrea Ghez became the fourth woman to win a Nobel Prize in Physics. Its first female winner was Marie Curie in 1903.
Doudna and Charpentier won the prize for developing Cas 9, a technology that can rewrite DNA. It has had a great influence on the life sciences. For example, it can help us develop crops that can fight against the dry weather. It could also help treat inherited(遗传的)diseases in the future.
On hearing that they were the sixth and seventh women in history to win the Chemistry Prize, Charpentier said that she hopes girls and young female scientists will understand that nothing is impossible. They can find great discoveries no matter what their gender is.
Ghez, who was well-known for her research on black holes, had the same feeling. “I hope to encourage more young women into the field,” Ghez said. She is also one of the writers of the 2006 children’s book You Can Be a Woman Astronomer.

The Internet and video game technology (技术) are coming together thanks to virtual reality (VR, 虚拟现实) technology. Screens show this virtual world to our eyes while speakers bring it to our ears. However, it can be more immersive (沉浸的). To do this, it should use more of our senses(感觉). What about our hands, mouths and noses?
Technology companies are working on it!
Scent (气味) is a difficult thing to recreate, according to the Tokyo Institute of Technology (Tokyo Tech). Recently, researchers at the school created a screen that can spread different scents to a user. They programmed a computer to mix seven “typical” oils, including lemon and lavender (熏衣草). By mixing them, they can copy real smells.
Tokyo Tech said there will soon be scent libraries, full recipes (配方). Takamichi Nakamoto, who led the research, said movie theaters and video games could use this technology to make smells and become “extremely enjoyable”. Advertisements for food and makeup may also use it to attract customers.
What about our sense of touch? Technologies that create a sense of touch are already common. For example, our phones vibrate (震动) as we type. After our fingertips, our mouths are the most sensitive part of our bodies. So, researchers at Carnegie Melon University, US, made VR glasses. They can “shoot” super high-pitched sound waves (高频率的声波) at your lips, teeth and tongue.
In a demo video, we can watch spiders crawl (爬) into the mouth of a game player. She feels them! Another demo shows someone using a virtual toothbrush. Maybe soon, we will be able to give our families a virtual kiss!

According to the National Reading Survey, before the 17th World Reading Day on April 23, only 1.2 percent of Chinese people said they read a lot. But 38.6 percent said they read on digital devices like cell phone and e-books. This is a 17.7 percent increase from 2010.
Many experts are talking about a trend toward fragmented reading ––reading many short messages or items on a digital device like a cell phone instead of one long text in a book.
Zhao jianmin, a professor at Shanghai University, said fragmented reading was part of modern life. “The fast pace of life leaves many people no time to sit and read a whole book,” he said. “So making use of fragmented time to read is sure to be a trend”
Fragmented reading has its advantages. People can enjoy large amounts of information, knowledge and entertainment in a short time. Digital reading is faster than traditional deep reading.
However, some experts fear the trend of digital reading will lead people to read in a simple way. Xu Guosheng, at a Chinese Academy of Press and Publication, says fragmented reading makes it harder for people to think more about what they read. He also warned fragmented reading could make people lazy about remembering facts because they know they can always just search for answers online.
“Fragmented reading is sometimes good, but don’t let it take all your time,” suggested Tian Zhilng, an editor. He said it was important to read quality books in a deeper way, and we should read for knowledge, for practical use and for pleasure. He suggested people choose easy books first, then move onto more difficult ones.

【推荐1】At the age of 16, Einstein always played with a group of naughty（调皮的）kids. Because he was so busy playing, he didn’t study enough and failed his final exam.
One morning, when Einstein was holding a fishing rod and was about to go fishing with his friends, his father stopped him and said calmly, “Einstein, you’re so fond of playing all day that you failed your exam. I’m worried about your future.”
