2 . Have you noticed the waste bins in different colors on the street? Do you often put all the waste in the same bin? It’s reported by Changehun Daily that people must do waste sorting (分类) in most places in Changchun at the end of 2019. Waste sorting is a wonderful way to make good use of energy and protect the environment. But do you know how to sort the waste?
Usually, people should sort their waste into four groups: wet, recyclable, harmful and dry. Different kinds of waste should go into different bins. Wet waste means the things you don’t want but pigs can eat, mostly coming from your kitchen. Things that can be used again, such as paper, metal and glass, are recyclable waste. Harmful waste might be dangerous or cause serious pollution, like medicine and batteries (电池). And any waste that’s not wet, recyclable or harmful will go into the dry waste bin.
Different countries are trying different ways to sort the waste. A university in England has a smart bin. When people drop their waste into the bin, it can tell what kind of waste it is and sort it correctly. The bin can also compress (压缩) the waste to make it smaller in size and take up less space. In South Korea, people have to separate their food waste from other kinds of waste and pay for it. The more food waste they throw away, the more they pay. In Japan, plastic bottles and their caps should go into different bins.

Imagine a world where everyone knows how to manage money wisely from a young age. Financial education (财商教育) is like a guide to help people understand money better and make smart decisions.
Letting children manage their money as they grow, even with a little pocket money, can teach them valuable lessons. It’s important to teach kids to tell good advice from bad and when to ask for help.
Learning about money should be long-lasting, where families explore books, educational activities, and information together. Children should learn how to make a plan, start saving, and make smart money choices. Financial education is more than theories (理论).
Kids can take control of their own financial education too.
Because of financial education, young adults can leave school with well-preparation for their money management.

7 . In a faraway land, deep within a mysterious (神秘的) forest known as the Whispering Grove (风语林), a hidden secret waited for discovery. This magical forest was full of wonders, where tall trees quietly shared ancient stories, and shiny rivers held secrets.
In a village nearby, there lived a curious girl named Elara. She loved to learn and was very brave. One day, she found an old book with strange marks and questions inside. People believed the book showed the way to a hidden treasure deep in the Whispering Grove—a treasure that could make any wish come true.
Elara decided to begin an adventure to find this special treasure. With the book as her guide, she entered the challenging forest. The ancient trees watched her closely, and the dancing rivers sang secrets.
As she journeyed deeper into the forest, Elara faced challenges that tested her ability to think quickly and solve problems. She met a clever fox, a wise turtle, and a strict lion. Each experience taught her important lessons about courage, patience, and clever thinking.
But as she neared the place of the treasure, Elara realized something more important. The real treasure wasn’t what she searched for; it was the journey itself.
In the end, she reached the treasure site, only to find a simple, shining stone. It didn’t offer wishes, but it held a magic that could not be seen or touched—a reminder that the journey and the lessons were the true treasures of life.
Elara returned to her village and shared her adventure. Her story, “The Magical Forest Journey,” which became a favorite story, passed down to others.

8 . In Japan, Kamikatsu is a special village. Its people are trying to make their town the country’s first zero-waste town.
Kamikatsu has no garbage (垃圾) trucks, so people need to do with their kitchen waste at home. They also have to sort (分类) other rubbish into 34 different kinds, and bring it to the recycling centre. The workers make sure that the waste goes into the right bins. It took some time for the people to get used to this rule. They had difficulty sorting the rubbish at first but they finally made it.
The Japanese town has a perfect recycling process (过程). There are different bins for different kinds of rubbish. The labels (标签) on each bin show the recycling process for each piece of rubbish, so the people know what happens to their rubbish.
In Kamikatsu, there is a kuru-kuru shop. There people can get new things for free by bringing their used things to the shop. In the kuru-kuru factory, workers make bags, clothes, and dolls out of used things. The town also tries to get businesses into re use — the town built a building with reused materials and opened a zero-waste beer factory in it.
A man living in Kamikatsu said, “At first we were opposed to the idea. We all thought it was useless. Now I don’t think so. It’s become natural to sort the rubbish in a right way.”

9 . Aarrav Anil has had a deep interest in mechanics (机械学) since childhood. This allows the teen to represent (代表) India at more than 20 robotics competitions around the world. But Aarrav didn’t create his smart spoon to win a prize. He saw his uncle, who has Parkinson’s disease (PD) (帕金森病), struggling to feed himself. Food kept falling out of his mouth, making him look like a mess. He wanted to make a change.
More than 7 million people in India have PD. The disease influences the brain, causing patients to shake uncontrollably. As the disease progresses, it leads to difficulty in eating by oneself.
Aarrav wanted his uncle to be able to eat by himself. This encouraged the teen to look for a way to help his uncle. So he took to his room with sensors (传感器), a 3D printer and other tools. But not everything went well.
“It was disappointing not to be able to find certain parts I needed in India. I had to buy some from abroad,” Aarrav said in an interview.
Aarrav made a first model, but the spoon handle was not easy for his uncle to hold. “I’ve improved the invention. It needs to be waterproof (防水的). The spoon must be easily separated, so that it can be cleaned and replaced with a fork. And the spoon needs to be deeper to hold more food,” the teen said.
The smart spoon is now being tested at a local college. The test is expected to be completed in early 2024. Aarrav hopes that his smart spoon will be used in hospitals soon.
