1 . News Around the World

If you feel pressured for your work, here are four pieces of news you can scan and relax.

Across the River in Rome

A man has walked across the Tiber River in Rome. As a tightrope artist, he is skilled at walking on a tightrope. But this time the tightrope is 135 meters long and 20 meters above the river, which is the longest and highest. The man sets a new Italian record. He said this walk was difficult with wind and rain.

A new spoon for astronauts

Nikolas Grafakos makes a special spoon for astronauts, which helps astronauts eat more easily during long trips to Mars. Normal spoons are a little longer for astronauts and hard to eat with at zero gravity. The new spoon is something between a spoon and chopsticks. You hold it in your hand and press it at the end. It is easier to deliver food to our mouth, making it possible for astronauts to eat more kinds of food.

Pink Chocolate

Have you seen a kind of natural pink chocolate? Some people don't accept that, saying that the pink chocolate is rare and must cost a lot. Others say that in general, all cocoa beans turn into dark chocolate. During the process of making, they unbelievably change colour. They suppose there must be something strange about the gene of cocoa beans. Or maybe it is just white chocolate with some fruit.
