Some researchers think there might be a connection between UFOs and angel sightings. They say the angels and heavenly figures might actually have been extraterrestrials(外星人)。
After his experience in the 1980s with "the most beautiful thing" he ever saw, Lewis might agree with that assessment.
It was a Saturday morning in Mariposa, California, and Lewis had to work that day. The air was fresh from a cool rain the night before, and the morning sky was bright with a few scattered clouds.
"I was heading out to my car in the back parking lot of the apartment complex where I lived when I noticed someone kneeling next to my car," Lewis says. "This person saw me and quickly stood up holding a crowbar(撬棍),"
The young man was quite obviously astonished by Lewis's interruption, and although Lewis sensed the boy was up to no good, it hadn't yet hit him what he was doing. Then Lewis looked through the passenger window of his car and saw that the steering wheel column had been stripped(脱去)of its cover. He realized that the young man was trying to steal his car.
"I asked him what he was doing," Lewis recalls, "He gave me a lame story about his friend's car being stolen last night and that my car looked like his friend's and so on. I didn't want to hear it. I told him I was going to call the police, which I did on my cell phone."
Lewis dialed 911 and gave the dispatcher(调度员)the address. He told the would-be thief that the police were on their way and warned him not to leave. "If he did, I wasn't going to try to stop him because he had that crowbar," Lewis says.
As Lewis was questioning the young man, trying to detain(扣留)him, he began to notice three rather large clouds in a single-file formation that were almost overhead.
"Then I saw it," he says."A shiny object exited from the first cloud and entered the next and then came out of that one. It was shiny, like brightly polished objects, moving at a good speed. I couldn't make out the shape."

By this time, Lewis was so distracted by the UFO.

Wylie watched over the sheep and the little lambs like a soldier, and never let anything hurt them. She drove them out to pasture when it was time, and brought them safely home when it was time for that. She loved her work, and was a wonderfully fine sheepdog.
At last her master grew too old to stay alone on the hills. Before he left, he gave Wylie to two kind young men who lived in the nearest town; he knew they would be good to her. They grew very fond of her, and so did their old grandmother and the little children; she was so gentle and handsome and well behaved.
But after a while, the family noticed something very strange indeed about their dog. Every single Tuesday night, about nine o'clock. Wylie disappeared. And she would be gone all night. But every Wednesday morning, she was at the door, waiting to be let in. Her silky coat was all sweaty and muddy and her feet heavy with weariness, but her bright eyes looked up at her masters as if she were trying to explain where she had been.
Week after week, the same thing happened. Nobody could imagine where Wylie went every Tuesday night. They tried to follow her to find out, but she always slipped away. It grew to be a real mystery. Where in the world did Wylie go?
In the city near the town where the kind young men lived was a big market. On Tuesday nights, the farmers used to come down from the hills, and drive their sheep through the city streets into the pens, ready to sell on Wednesday morning; that was the day they sold them. The sheep weren’t used to the city noises and sights, and they always grew afraid and wild, and gave the farmers and the sheepdogs a great deal of trouble. They broke away and ran about, in everybody’s way.

But just as the trouble was worst, about sunrise, the farmers would see a little silky dog come running.

The Office for National Youth Campus Football said that China already had 13, 381“special football schools” in 2016, and that 69 counties were piloting programs for football in schools.
Aimed at training young players and developing their talent, the government's latest plan is to advance China's ability to compete globally. The office predicts the number of football schools will have increased to 50, 000 by 2025.
Wang Dengfeng, director of the Physical Education, Health and Art Department under the Ministry of Education and Vice Chairman of the China Football Association, was quoted as saying that football experts are designing curriculum for more than 360 training programs in primary and secondary schools.
Xinhua reported that the MOE and five other central government departments were putting together a task force to ensure that football advances quickly in the country's schools.
President Xi Jinping is also a well-known football fan, who has repeatedly voiced his support for the sport's development in China.
Chinese government released an artificial intelligence development plan in 2017, calling on primary and middle schools to promote coding (编程) education, preparing kids for the future artificial intelligence (AI) development. In response to the policy, coding and programming education have exploded amongst Chinese young students creating a large-scale market worth 3 to 4 billion yuan, according to a report released by iReserach in 2018. In contrast to the upward developing trend, Xia Lixin, vice president of Central China Normal University cautions that the industry is facing many problems, including how to evaluate trainers, assess teaching effects and develop effective courses. Programming teachers for children requires not only professional proficiency but also basic teaching skills, Xia noted. In addition, it’s better to guide students hand in hand rather than via video. | At an after-school training center. Son: I don’t want to sign up for any more classes. I am already juggling piano, calligraphy and English lessons. Mother: Piano lessons are out. Coding is the new trend now. It helps with enrollment (录取). A lot of schools value such skills. Son: But I don’t know a thing about coding. What if I’m not interested? Mother: A lot of your peers are taking programming lessons. I bet you will develop an interest. Just give it a try. Son: F-i-n-e. |

While overseas study programs in college seem to be more common these days, many students are still missing out on the chance to travel and learn abroad at an even younger age.
So many organizations are providing summer camps for high school students to study abroad during the summer holiday. They offer their camps in locations around the world, with a variety of program types to choose from. You can spend your summer doing everything from volunteering with turles in Costa Rica to learn about art history in Italy. Plus, while these programs can be costly, scholarships as well as financial aid are often available to high school students who want to travel.
