1 . Bioengineering has the power to improve health globally by developing diagnostic (诊断法), treatment and disease monitoring platforms that function in diverse settings. This conference aims at improving the open exchange of ideas between bioengineers, clinical researchers, healthcare providers, funding and community partners, policymakers and educators, discussing the current impact of bioengineering on solving global health challenges and how to connect with communities.

This conference aims to provide a forum (论坛) to present research about:

► Improving for global health: low-cost diagnostics

► Establishing effective treatment

► Funding and publishing global health-related bioengineering research

► Providing training and education as a means to advance global health

► Capacity building for disease prevention

Derrick suffered second- and third-degree ________ on his face, back, and arms for his selfless rescue. With bandages(绷带) ________ his burns, the youth told the reporter that he would “________ it again in that situation as long as I am alive.”

6 . What Is Space Camp?

Space camp is a camp for kids (10-14) on Earth. It is a camp to get young people excited about space, science and maths. For a week, build and launch a model rocket and eat space food. They also get to meet an astronaut (宇航员). Not only that, they get to train like an astronaut, too. The campers find out how an astronaut’s spacesuit (航天服) and helmet (头盔) stop the astronaut from getting too hot or too cold in space.

Training for Moon Walking

There is an unusual chair at space camp — the gravity chair. It hangs from springs (弹簧). The chair helps the campers to feel what it is like to walk on the moon. The gravity on the moon is six times weaker than the gravity on Earth. When the campers are in the gravity chair, they find it hard to walk. There are three different ways they can move in it. They can bunny hop (兔子), or do a slow walk.

A Day in Space and Rocket Centre

One of the most exciting activities of space camp is visiting the space and rocket centre. The space and rocket centre has more than 1,500 things for campers to look at, such as small moon rock and the Saturn V rocket. A week at space camp is the best way to experience space life without even leaving the Earth!

9 . It’s easy to think that a man who’s scaled Mount Everest is fearless. But adventurer and survivalist Bear Grylls says nothing could be further from the truth.“    1    and it’s part of my job,” he says. Then how does he deal with fear?   He advises befriending your fear and using it to fuel you. He created the way of S-T-O-P.

    2     — deadlines,difficult conversations, getting out of our social comfort zones, job interviews, etc. Don’t give in to the anxiety of the moment or just act immediately. Think twice before you leap.

It’s hard to think clearly when you’re in fight-or-flight mode. Take a moment to gain some distance from the situation and get your thinking brain back online.    3    .

In high-stress situations, it’s natural for people to just get super focused on that one thing. But Grylls suggests, “Look at your surroundings.    4    . You’re going to see alternatives and options.” Who’s in your corner? What resources do you have? Make sure you’re on alert (警惕) and getting the full picture.

You’re cool, calm and you’ve collected your resources-it’s time to move ahead. Create a strategic plan of action — or two!     5     .

“The vital elements to surviving in any tough scenario are not tools or food,“ Grylls says, “They are a resourceful spirit and a courageous attitude.”
