Last Saturday, we went to Grandpa Jack's house for a family party. As soon as we sat down on the sofa, we took out 1 phones and started playing games.
Seeing this, Grandpa Jack decided to tell us stories 2 his childhood. He described 3 he built tree houses and flew kites. "We didn't have phones to play with at that time. But a Frisbee (飞盘) 4 make us excited for a whole day," he said.
"Let's make some fun memories," Grandpa suggested 5 . He went to get a Frisbee and invited us 6 with him outside. At first, we showed little interest 7 we knew nothing about it. But we decided to give it 8 try.
It was difficult at the beginning. We kept missing and dropping the Frisbec. However, it became more fun than we thought after we 9 for a while. We ran quickly, laughed loudly and shouted happily with each successful catch.
After playing, when we walked back to the house, I felt something warm inside. I realized playing with the family was much 10 than playing on the phone. Grandpa Jack had shown us a different kind of joy, and I knew this was a day I would never forget.
I'm a plant scientist. Every time I tell people about my job, they may ask me, "why don't you work hard on more ‘useful' 1 like physics?" My answer to their questions is simple: plant science can help 2 the world. Millions of people in the world are 3 hunger (饥饿) every year. It's not because we aren't producing enough food, but because we are 4 lots of it. The research on plants can effectively help to reduce this waste. One 5 is that plant scientists have been able to slow down the rotting (腐烂) of apples. As a result, the apples can be stored 6 and saved. Plant science can also benefit our environment. It plays an important role in fighting against climate change. Over all, plant science is of great 7 .
However, during a visit at a 8 , I was surprised to find that few of the teenagers could recognize the rice plant in a science class. Without interest in plants, they won't join in the plant study in the future. And they will 9 realize the importance of plant science. I think schools could and should make greater efforts to 10 this situation.
Plant science is much more useful than most people imagine. I expect more youths to explore the field and become leading pioneers.

Lu Ban came up with the idea of the ruler when he was young. Benjamin Franklin invented swim flippers (蛙鞋) at the age of 12. And last year, the 6-year-old Kate Smith, published her invention for baby medical treatment. The stories of the young inventors remind people of children's great creativity. Scientists agree that children are more creative than adults and they have the power to create and invent.
Every invention starts with curiosity (好奇心) and a heart to explore. Children are naturally curious and have a spirit of discovery, which drives them to ask questions, explore problems, and try to solve them. Lily Peterson, at the age of 9, created the ice cream stick just because she wanted to hold the frozen cream. But the simple invention has transformed the way we eat ice cream, making it easier and more enjoyable for people of all ages.
What's more, children can learn quickly and like turning new knowledge into practice. They are not afraid to think differently and can challenge long-held ideas. They enjoy getting the sense of confidence and pride when they try out their ideas. It makes them take an active part in scientific experiments (实验) and create unexpected ideas.
Children's ability to create is really valuable. Adults should encourage them and provide them with chances to explore the world. By doing so, children can help to make the world around them better.

Have you ever seen the skirts in the picture? It's ‘Mamianqun' in Chinese. It's one of the Chinese traditional dresses and a symbol of Chinese culture. It became in the Ming and Qing dynasties (朝代). At that time, every skirt was made by hand with the design of four skirt doors in the front and back. People usually wore it during their big days.
In recent years, Mamianqun has received more and more both in China and abroad. You can find many Chinese young people wearing the skirts in daily work or on their trips. They think it is convenient to wear and around. In the year of 2023, people from over 90countries shared of photos and articles about Mamianqun. Factories making the dress also received a great number of orders from abroad because of special design. It's a good to show how Chinese culture is going worldwide.
The rise of Mamianqun also shows a deeper cultural pride young people in China. They're not just wearing clothes, showing off their culture at the same time. They are trying to connect traditions with their modern lives.
Zebra crossings are an important part of city traffic. They serve as safety lines for people crossing the street and a symbol of a city's culture. However, in recent years, most people have been used to using phones while crossing the street. It is unsafe and it may slow down traffic.
To deal with the problem, the Star City government started to take action and introduced a new rule in April, 2024. According to the rule, if people use phones while crossing the street, they may face a fifty-yuan fine (罚款). If they don't want to pay, they can choose to stand by the zebra crossings for an hour as a traffic guide. To increase public understanding of the new rule, the government also puts up posters at bus stops and on websites.
According to the number showed by the government, more than 20% of the traffic accidents in Star City last year happened on zebra crossings. The city hopes the new rule can help to cut down that number. "It is important to correct wrong behaviors on the road. Both drivers and walkers will benefit from it," an official says.
