In our lives, many people don’t like having breakfast. Breakfast, as the first meal of the day, is important to health, work and study efficiency (效率).
At the same time, many people think that dinner in three meals a day is the least important. However, if you really don’t have dinner at all, it will also have a bad impact (影响) on the human body.
Studies have found that eating only one meal a day is associated with a higher risk of death.
No matter it’s morning or evening, please give yourself some time to eat. You can eat an egg, or a piece of bread or a glass of milk, which can provide your body with the energy it needs.

6 . Evans Wadongo was from a poor village of Africa. He had to do homework by the light of a kerosene lamp (煤油灯). Evans’ eyes hurt and this made studying difficult.
However, Evans was excellent enough to enter a university. But he continued to worry about the kerosene lamp. He realized it was not just bad for school children but for the whole family. First, it can cause illnesses such as coughs. Also, the light can hurt people’s eyes. Lastly, kerosene is expensive, so families have less money for food. It was difficult to come up with a different kind of lamp that was cheap and good for the environment. Yet Evans did not give up.
One day, he had an idea. He could use a small solar (太阳能) light. Sunlight is free and solar power is clean. Evans built his first solar lamp, and it worked. He began to build more lamps and sent them to local families. An organization heard about this and provided money for him to build more solar lamps.
Each lamp only cost $20. However, this was a lot of money to many villagers, so Evans made sure he kept the cost down. He used recycled materials and ask volunteers to build the lamps. Finally, people from many countries gave away money to his team, so the lamps were usually free.
The solar lamps made a big difference to thousands of people. Julia, a mother of three, said, “Thanks to Evans, my children have light to read, and I have my own light to cook.”

9 . Imagine—you are running to catch a train, only to find that you forgot your ID card (身份证)! There is no way you can board without it. However, don’t worry. In the near future, all the people in China will just need a new one on their smartphones (智能手机).
In fact, China’s first ID cards appeared in 1984. But the ID cards now are the second ones with 18 numbers, standing for one’s birthplace, birth date and gender (性别), which have been widely used in China. In 2018, China has already started the first try of digital (数字的) ID cards. It was only used among the people in cities including Quzhou, Hangzhou and Fuzhou to open bank accounts (账户), check into hotels and buy high-speed railway tickets and so on.
This year, the government will introduce these new digital ID cards to the whole country. That’s better to meet the basic living needs of more than 100 million people who live away from their home provinces. These people have to go to school or work at different places away from their homes. Sometimes to prove that “I am who I am”, they have to run back to home provinces. It is a waste of time and money.
Digital ID cards can allow related information to be accessed (获取) by a simple scan (扫描) with a smartphone, which is like the way we pay for the bills with WeChat (微信). It is easier than the old IDs.
Also, the government will provide convenience (方便) for people who do not use smartphones, especially the old. Certainly, at this time we should pay more attention to the information safety and privacy.
