1 . MicroSD cards are common in smartphones, tablets, and action cameras. Finding the right microSD card doesn’t have to be difficult — we can help you find the best microSD cards for your needs.
Samsung EVO Select MicroSD Memory CardThis microSD card can handle the needs of nearly any device and any type of user, and it offers the fastest speeds and highest storage of the cards we considered while keeping a low price tag. The write speed isn’t provided for this microSD card, which isn’t uncommon — manufacturers often focus on read speed instead because it’s where you’ll notice a la g if there is any.
SanDisk 256GB Extreme Memory CardBob Sacha, a photographer and associate professor of video storytelling, recommends getting a card like this one. “This card may have a lower read speed and write speed, but it works in all the cameras I use,” he says. This microSD card is also shockproof, waterproof, and able to withstand high temperatures, which makes it suitable for action cameras.
SanDisk Ultra 512GB Memory CardIf you’re into portable gaming, and are planning on keeping more than a game or two on hand at any given time, you’ll need enough storage to back that up. The SanDisk Ultra 512GB is just a version of our pick for Switch gaming with more storage, since the read and write speeds are perfectly fine for gaming. It also has plenty of storage to work with a 4kdrone (无人机) or a home security camera.
PNY U3 Pro Elite 512GB MicroSD CardWhere write speed really comes into play is when you’re recording video. That’s also when you’ll want to pay attention to the video class, which measures the minimum levels of write speed for recording video. Ultra-high-speed class is a number inside a U on the front of the card. A U1 card should be able to handle 1080p recording without any issues, but if you want to record 4K, get a U3 card like the PNY Pro Elite.

8 . Jose Luis Garcia is from Argentina. He lives in a small village in San Luis but works in Buenos Aires, about 800 kilometers away.
“I grew up in my village and I love it here but the good jobs are in Buenos Aires,” he says. “I have to travel over 10 hours on the bus on Friday and Sunday nights but it’s OK. I don’t want to live in Buenos Aires. It’s an exciting place but it’s dangerous and quite polluted (被污染的). The village I live in is near the mountains. It’s safe and quiet—a great place for my wife and four kids.”
There are more and more people like Jose all over the world. They live and work in different places.
Lawrence Wood is one of them. He is a dentist (牙医) working in London. He and his family once lived in London, but last year they moved to Paceville, Malta. He flies to London on Monday mornings and flies back to Paceville on Thursday evenings to spend time with his wife and two young children.
“Our house in Paceville is next to the sea, and it’s bigger than the house where we lived in London,” says Lawrence. “We have a beautiful view of the Mediterranean now. Also, the house is five minutes from my children’s school and four kilometers from the airport. It’s very convenient. The flying’s OK. It’s three or four hours but I only do it twice a week.”

World Sleep Day, organized by the World Sleep Day Committee of the World Association of Sleep Medicine since 2008, is on March 21 every year. World Sleep Day is to celebrate the benefits of good and healthy sleep.
Sleep quality plays an important role in people’s health. Researchers say that there are a lot of advantages (优点) if we always get enough sleep. We can be smarter, thinner, healthier and more cheerful. Also we’re to have better skin, better memories and longer lives.
When you lose even one hour of sleep for any reason, it will influence (影响) your performance the next day.
In general, adults need to sleep at least eight hours of sleep a night, but a recent survey found that, on workdays, only 21% of them really get a full eight hours of sleep and another 21% get less than six. For teenagers, a healthy sleep is about eight to nine hours per night. However, about 80% of high school students don’t get enough sleep because of their schoolwork or some bad habits.
Twenty-seven percent of people in the world have sleep problems. Now there are over 80 kinds of sleep disorders (紊乱), and most people know little about their danger. So, for our good life and work, it’s necessary for us to realize the importance of sleep and try to have a good sleep.
