2 . With low temperatures and food shortage, winter is a terrible season for animals. Many animals enter hibernation (冬眠) to get through it. Hibernation can help cool the animal’s body and slow its heartbeat to just a few times per minute, for up to months at a time.
But why don’t humans hibernate? Our body is not fit for hibernation. Humans have only migrated into temperate and subarctic areas (温带和北极地附近) in the last hundred thousand years or so. That’s not quite long enough to evolve (进化) all the metabolic adaptations (代谢适应) we would need to hibernate, according to the BBC Science Focus magazine. For example, how to settle waste is a big challenge for human hibernation. Animals that hibernate are able to stop their defecation (排泄), and sometimes save energy by taking their waste. Unluckily, humans can’t do this. There are other challenges. Body temperature below 2.8℃ may hurt human’s stomach and cause pain. Cold temperature can also make people ill easily, according to Smith-sonian magazine.
In fact, humans don’t need to sleep through winter. We can use fire, clothes, houses and food to help us live in the cold.
Could humans hibernate in the future? According to University of Oxford in the UK, being able to hibernate would make such long-time journey less boring and save important energy for the astronauts. It’s likely for long-term space travel. From 2014, NASA has worked hard to do a research on it, for it will be a way to help develop long-term space travel, according to The Atlantic magazine.

3 . Mobile phone has become a problem for middle schools. Some middle schools in Australia have banned (禁止) students from carrying mobile phones during school hours.
Mobile phone use among children has become a problem for the school this year. Several children have got mobile phones as Christmas gifts, and more students will want them.

4 . Long long ago, people lived on wild animals, fruits and other plants and they didn’t need to use money.
As time passed, families had more products (产品) than they needed, such as animals and crops. So they needed to trade with others. They began to use money to make it easier. However, it was not like the money we use today. They used shells, rice, salt or large stones.
During the 600 BC, people began using coins as money. Because they were easier to carry than goods (货物), countries began to make coins as their money.
The Chinese were the first to use paper money, probably in the 11th century. An Italian traveler, Marco Polo, saw the Chinese use paper money when he visited China in the 1200s. After his travel, he told the western people what he saw. But European countries didn’t start using paper money till the1600s.
Today people have many ways to pay for things, such as coins, paper money and cards. Some prefer to pay by card. That’s because paying with a card is easier and safer than carrying around a lot of “real” money.

Chang’e-5 Back Home  In an ancient Chinese story, a beautiful goddess named Chang’e flew to the moon alone. It was a sad story because she never came back home. However, another Chinese “Chang’e” just came back. After weeks of space travel, the Chang’e-5 lunar probe(月球探测器)came home on December 17th, 2020. It landed successfully in Siziwang banner in the Inner Mongolia autonomous region. The whole flight took more than 20 days. Chang’e-5 brought back rocks and soil from the moon. They are the world’s freshest lunar rocks in over 40 years. China has become the third country in the world to successfully bring back rocks from the moon, after the US and the former Soviet Union.  The return of Chang’e-5 was the last step in China’s three-step lunar exploration program(探月工程). It began in 2004, including orbiting, landing, and bringing back samples, Xinhua News Agency reported. To work together with other countries, China has planned to send some rocks to scientists from all over the world. Going to the moon has been a dream for Chinese people, and the story of Chang’e has been told through the ages. Now, Chang’e-5 has helped Chinese people realize the dream. |

6 . Schools in China are studying how they can put VR(=virtual reality 虚拟现实) lessons into their classroom experience. One such lesson uses VR to teach children fire safety. Instead of pens and paper, students wear VR headsets in the classroom. They are put into a virtual environment where a fire has broken out. They must find their way out and escape carefully.
At the VR medical school under Sichuan University, a virtual system allows medical students to examine human body in different ways. They can even separate organs for closer examination. Students can practice their operation skills without a real body.
Simon Leung, vice-chairman of a VR company, said the company has developed VR classrooms and computers that send students to a 360 degree digital world. Moreover, the VR headsets can tell whether children are focused on the task at hand, Leung said.
Chinese parents, however, have a different opinion on VR lessons. They are suspicious of VR because they are unsure if the technology will have any bad effects. They are worried about their children’s eye sight, too.
Besides, VR equipment comes at a price. A top VR headset and computer could cost up to 10,000 yuan(1,475 U. S. dollars). “We need to do more to lower the cost and improve the user’s experience,” said Huang Ronghuai, professor at the Smart Learning Institute under Beijing Normal University, “But we are sure that we will change the model of education in the future.”
