1 . Since the modern Olympics began in 1896, it has been held in more than 40 different cities. That gives Olympic fans quite a few possible travel destinations to choose from!
Beijing, China
Olympic fans should consider visiting the Beijing Olympic Park to check out the special buildings of the so—called “Bird’s Nest” and “Water Cube”—the national stadium and aquatics center built for the 2008 Beijing Olympics. Popular historic places in Beijing include the Forbidden City, the Summer Palace, and Tian’anmen Square.
Innsbruck, Austria
Located in the heart of the Alps, Innsbruck is known as a great winter destination—which explains why it has hosted not one but two Winter Olympics. Known for its mountainous views, Innsbruck is the perfect stop for outdoor adventurers.
Mexico City, Mexico
This wonderful travel destination offers a wide number of popular museums, historic buildings, and public parks. People will love shopping for fresh meat and produce at the markets, taking a cooking class, and generally eating their way through Mexico City, which is especially known for its culinary(烹饪的)experiences that include both globally well—known restaurants and locally favored street carts.
Melbourne, Australia
Nearly half a century before Sydney hosted the 2000 Summer Olympics, Melbourne became the first Australian host city in 1956. Head to the “cultural capital of Australia”, located in Victoria on the southeastern coast, for an energetic cafe culture and art scene. Melbourne offers something for every type of traveler and everyone can enjoy an evening at one of the city’s many rooftop bars or a day of wine tasting.

Sam Herbert, 15, saved the life of a 55-year-old stranger even though he himself was born with a poor condition.
The Derby schoolboy says, “I was walking down the street one evening in May when a man in front of me fell over.
“I put him in the right position, but his condition was starting to become worse and he stopped breathing. So I started CPR (心肺复苏法). Because of my condition, I was worried I wouldn’t have the strength to do it for very long.
“When the doctors arrived, they said I’d done the right thing.
In the life-or-death situation he was faced with, Sam acted bravely but also very quickly. “I will have to have more operations on my heart in the future.
A.Sam was born with a weak heart. |
B.I couldn’t stop thinking about it. |
C.He had really a very bad fall. |
D.There are hundreds of children who die from heart diseases. |
E.They told me if I hadn’t helped him, he probably would have died. |

6 . “Sam’s Journey” is the main attraction of an exhibition to be staged at Bugis+ shopping mall. The show, organized by five Singaporean college students, will start the yearly Anti-Drug Abuse Campaign of this year. Besides the main attraction, there are many kinds of anti-drug games for people to play.
“Sam’s Journey” takes visitors through a maze of activities and information that lets them experience how “Sam’s” life was destroyed by drug abuse.
The maze starts with how“Sam”first started using drugs and became heavily dependent on them. In the middle of the maze, visitors get to wear a specially-designed pair of glasses trying to copy what it is like to be under the influence of drugs. Then visitors go through a dark room with lights flashing that give them an experience similar to the side effects of using drugs.
“Sam’s”life goes further downhill once police officers catch him. Visitors get to experience what it is like in prison as one of the maze checkpoints is a prison cell (a small room built for prisoners).
“We did not want to feed information through experts. We wanted people to walk through this maze to learn about drug abuse and its bad influences,”said Mr Jenson Seah, one of the five Singaporean students.
As the student organizers hope visitors will learn valuable lessons from the show, they too realize that putting the event together was an enriching experience.
“By working with officers from the National Council Against Drug Abuse, I learned a lot about drug abuse and it stretched beyond my degree course learning experience,”said Mr Seah.
The show, which will be given from June 21-22, is just the first of a series of events for the yearly Anti-Drug Abuse Campaign. The two-month-long campaign will include an online photography competition and an Anti-Drug School Corner Competition.

Today I will introduce three famous musician in the world. Known as “ the father of the symphony”, Joseph Haydn was an Austrian composer. It was him that changed the symphony into a long piece for a large orchestra. Hayden used to working at the court of a prince in eastern Austria, there he became a director of music. Having worked there for 30 years, he moved to London and became very successfully there. Mozart was another well-known Austrian composer, possibly the greater musical genius of all time. He passed away at an early age and composed no more than 600 pieces of music. Haydn met Mozart in 1781 and was very impressive with him. The third famous musician I will introduce is Beethoven, who was born in Bonn, Germany. He moved to Vienna and stayed there for rest of his life. As he grew older, he began to go deaf. Even when he was complete deaf, he continued composing.

9 . As scientists around the world race to find a treatment for the coronavirus, a young girl among them stands out.
Anika Chebrolu, a 14yearold from Frisco, Texas, has just won the 2020 3M Young Scientist Challenge and a $25,000 prize for a discovery that could provide a potential therapy to Covid19 (or SARSCoV2 virus).
Anika's winning invention uses insilico methodology to discover a lead molecule that can selectively bind to the spike protein of the SARSCoV2 virus.
"The last two days, I saw that there is a lot of media hype about my project since it involves the SARSCoV2 virus and it reflects our collective hopes to end this pandemic as I, like everyone else, wish that we go back to our normal lives soon," Anika told CNN.
The coronavirus has killed more than 1.1 million people globally since China reported its first case to the World Health Organization (WHO) in December. The United States has more than 219,000 deaths, according to data from the Johns Hopkins University Center for Systems Science and Engineering.
Anika, who is Indian American, submitted her project when she was in 8th grade but it wasn't always going to be focused on finding a cure for Covid19. Initially, her goal was to use insilico methods to identify a lead compound that could bind to a protein of the influenza virus.
"After spending so much time researching about pandemics, viruses and drug discovery, it was crazy to think that I was actually living through something like this," Anika said.
"Because of the immense severity of the Covid19 pandemic and the drastic impact it had made on the world in such a short time, I, with the help of my mentor, changed directions to target the SARSCoV2 virus." Anika said she was inspired to find potential cures to viruses after learning about the 1918 flu pandemic and finding out how many people die every year in the United States despite annual vaccinations and antiinfluenza drugs on the market.
