1 . When you were young, was it difficult for you to get up in the morning? But now, Hiroyuki’s bed will solve your problem! Here is how it works.
The bed is connected to an alarm clock. First, the alarm clock rings. You have a few minutes to wake up. Next, a tape recorder in the bed plays soft music. The tape recorder in Hiroyuki’s bed plays a recording of his girlfriend. She says in a soft voice, “Wake up, darling, please.” After minutes later, Hiroyuki hears a recording of his boss. His boss shouts, “Wake up at once, or you’ll be late!” If you don’t get up after the second recording, a mechanical “foot” in the bed will kick you in the head.
The bed waits a few more minutes. What! You’re still in bed! Slowly the top of the bed rises higher and higher. The foot of the bed goes lower and lower. Finally you slide off the bed and onto the floor. You are out of bed awake!
Hiroyuki’s bed is not in stores. There is only one bed—the bed Hiroyuki made for a contest. Maybe some day a company will make Hiroyuki’s bed and sell it in stores. Maybe people will buy millions of beds. Then Hiroyuki will be rich. If the bed makes Hiroyuki rich, he won’t need to work, and he won’t need to get up early!

2 . Chinese young people love their smart phones. They play with phone apps every day. But now, a book has let them forget about their smart phones. The book is called Secret Garden.
It is a colouring book for adults. You don't have to read it because it has almost no words. All the pages are pictures with no colours. You just need to use colour pens to paint it. An artist in Britain made the book.
The book is now the biggest selling book on www.amazon.cn. Last month, it sold 25,000 copies in China. Many young people bought this book. They like it so much that they stop playing games or surfing the Internet on their smart phones. These people are mainly young mothers and workers. It is very difficult to take care of babies or do a good job at first, so they have a lot of pressure. Drawing the book can help them become less nervous.
In the past, people thought colouring books are only for children. With Secret Garden getting more and more popular, many young adults also begin to paint as a hobby.

3 . Yesterday, Danny ate lunch at a restaurant with his family. Late that night, he had food poisoning (食物中毒). He wanted to know how it happened. Danny learned about a few reasons for food poisoning.
The first reason is bacteria (细菌) in the food. Bacteria live in a lot of food and they live in meat, eggs and seafood most often. If you cook the food in a right way, you can kill the bacteria in it.
Another way to get food poisoning is from parasites (寄生虫). They often live in meat, but could live on vegetables, too. If you don't cook the food in a right way, these parasites may start living in your body!
The third way that you can get food poisoning is by eating the food with toxins(毒素) in it. Sometimes the food gets toxins naturally, and sometimes the toxins come from insect spray (喷雾杀虫剂). So you must wash the food carefully before you eat or cook it.
The last way that people get food poisoning is from allergens (过敏原). Some people are just allergic to some food, and they may feel very uncomfortable after eating it.
Danny decided he would choose food carefully and cook it in a right way before he ate it in the future. That was important. He never wanted to feel this way again.
