The father asked his son, "What is this? "
The son replied, "It is a dove. "
After a few minutes, the father asked his son for the second time, "What is this? "
The son said, "Father, I have just told you. It's a dove. "
After a little while, the old father asked his son for the third time, "What is this? "
This time Mike could not control his anger and shouted, "It's a dove, a dove. Why do you keep asking me the same question again and again? I have told you so many times‘IT IS A DOVE!'Don't you understand this? "

【推荐1】What will you do for our planet this World Environment Day on June 5? Will you try to cut down on waste by collecting recyclable things, or help others realize the importance of protecting environment?
Su Yige, a vlogger (视频博主) on Bilibili, does these things in her daily life. And for her, every day is World Environment Day. Su always takes her own bag when she goes shopping. Most of the furniture (家具) in her Shanghai home was bought from second-hand stores. And whenever she goes out to eat, she will use her own chopsticks from a plastic box instead of one-off chopsticks. Since her fans wonder how she has developed these habits, Su says these all come from her family. Although they have little “green” knowledge, her parents live a green life. Nothing can be thrown away as long as it can still be used.
Su hated to see plenty of waste that people around her created every day. She used to believe Westerners cared more about environmental protection. However, she was then shocked to see mountains of food waste outside the supermarkets in Canada seven years ago. From then on, she decided to “step in” and started an environment vlog, though she was a student at that time.
Su sets a good example to others. On Bilibili, she shares her love for old things and exchange tips with her fans. She also teaches people to make eco-friendly things, such as natural washing powder (粉). Her videos have received up to 95,000 likes. She has made many young people reexamine their lifestyles. Ding Nan from Fujian province, for example, has said goodbye to all bottled drinks and has been carrying a reusable plastic box with her wherever she goes. Su wants people to know that a greener life can be enjoyable once they get used to it.
Will you start to do something for our planet today—even though it is not World Environment Day?

【推荐2】My grandma came over to look after me when I was young. Laughter always filled the tiny but warm house. Watching Grandma in the kitchen was amazing: she walked around the kitchen, busy but happy. She never seemed to need the recipes (食谱) and everything she made tasted delicious.
At first I would just sit in the kitchen and watch. Even though I didn’t understand what she was doing, I really enjoyed watching her and waiting for the cakes. As I got older, she let me help with the easy parts, such as measuring (测量) the sugar. The day I helped her bake (烘焙) cakes, I felt like I found complete pleasure.
Later my parents decided that I could take care of myself and my grandma stopped coming over every day. The love of baking, however, stayed with me. I started baking by myself, and even if the cookies ended up burnt sometimes. More often they turned out pretty good. I tried out new recipes, and whenever I got to a thorny part, I would call my grandma for advice and she would always give lots of useful advice patiently. Sometimes I would call her just to talk. I felt like I could talk to her about anything.
My grandma passed away three years ago, but I still think of her sometimes. Last week, I found a recipe book she made for me in her bedroom. It included her recipes for cakes, cookies and my favourite, lemon pie. As I looked through the pages, I thought I could hear her voice and see her smile. She was the one who taught me not only about baking, but about life.

【推荐1】At the moment, high school students in the state of Philadelphia, USA, can wear their own clothes. However, next year the high schools must do one of the following:
● Either make students buy school uniforms (in other words, all students must wear the same uniforms).
● Or say which colors must be worn, but let students buy their own clothes in these colors.
A survey made at Central High School, Philadelphia, showed that most of the students didn’t think that wearing school uniforms was a good idea.
Rachel didn’t like the idea of a uniform in the slightest. “It makes us look like prisoners (囚犯). Everyone’s different, so why is the school trying to make us all the same?”
Sandra was wearing a brightly-colored shirt with her jeans. “No one else wears a shirt like mine, ” she said. “I’m the only one, and I like that. I can understand that the school needs a dress code (准则). It’s a problem if students come to school with their shirts open. We all understand that, but no one wants a uniform. Even my mum thinks it’s silly.”
Only one student, Ben, said he didn’t mind wearing a school uniform. He said, “I used to wear a school uniform when I lived in Australia for a year. It wasn’t so bad. You can wear a uniform and still be tidy. We used to wear grey trousers, a round-necked shirt and a jacket in blue or green. It wasn’t a problem.”

Probably not. But that is what kids in Yemen (也门) are experiencing (经历). According to a report, the capital, Sana, will run out of drinking water as early as 2025.
Because of the water shortage (短缺), the Yemen government often cuts the water supply (供应). Hannan, an 18-year-girl, tells the Teens, “In a good week we’ll have a water supply all week. But then the next week there will be water only for a day or two.”
Hannan says only rich people have enough water to use. They can buy water from the shops or from the water trucks. Private (私人的) companies own the trucks, They travel around the city every day to sell water--- at very high prices.
“ A lot of people can’t pay for it,” she says.
The government is thinking of making use of seawater. But it will cost a lot and it may not happen soon enough to help the people of Yemen.

【推荐2】Science and technology can be seen everywhere. They are making our life more convenient(方便的) and comfortable. Some scientists recently added amazing ideas to four common things and made great changes to them.
It’s not just a phone. China has taken the leading place in several scientific fields. In February, 2019, Huawei introduced Mate X, the first 5G phone that can be folded(折叠) in the world. It allows users to read e-books or watch movies on a larger screen. The Mate X supports(支持) 5G. It means you can get a movie from the Internet about 100 times faster than using 4G. |
They are not just chopsticks. Scientists at an American university have invented a pair of electronic chopsticks that can change the taste of food. When you put the chopsticks in your mouth, they can make you feel the taste becomes better, such as making sweet food taste sweeter or salty food less salty. Soon the scientists are going to try their technology on bottles, cups and spoons(勺子). |
It’s not just a sticker(粘贴). It’s said that about 52% of the fruits of the earth go bad before reaching the buyers. Scientists from Malaysia(马来西亚) thought of a simple way to solve the problem — tiny stickers that are made out of some natural materials(材料). Put the stickers on fruits, and the fruits can keep fresh up to two weeks. |
They are not just shoes. Every step you take is helping cut down air pollution. This is not in science fiction(科幻小说). A team from Europe has invented such a pair of shoes. The shoes can take in dirty air and send out clean air. If you wear the shoes and walk one kilometer, the shoes can clean the air polluted by eight cars. |
