I lived with my grandparents in Yorkshire when I was young. My grandma was a good 1. She made fantastic English food.

When other girls3 to do sports after school, I helped with cooking at home. When I was 15, I 4 to be a cook. However, I had to tell my parents about it 5 as I knew they wouldn't agree.
One day, I told them I wanted to take a cookery course for fun, and stayed for a month in a hotel. I enjoyed it so much that I couldn't put off telling my parents any longer,6 I brought the subject up one night over dinner.7 there was silence, and then my father asked me why. I explained that cooking was 8 painting a picture or writing a book. Every meal was a work of creation .I could see that my father disagreed, but he was not 9. He just looked at me and smiled.

Oink, oink! Here comes the Year of the Pig. How much do you know about pigs? Do you think they are stupid or lazy? The truth may surprise you. You might think twice about turning them into bacon and sausage! Look at the pig's nose. It's really long! Pigs have a very good sense of smell. In France, people teach pigs to find truffles(松露).Truffles are very rare and expensive. Pigs can find them faster than dogs.
Master of games, "As stupid as a pig." people sometimes say. But this is not true. Pigs are one of the 10 smartest animals on the earth. Pigs can remember things for a long time. They can also tell apart(分辨)different shapes. Pigs can even learn to play video games. They can use their snouts(口鼻)to move the cursor(光标).
Did you know? Pigs cannot look up at the sky. A pig's neck is very thick, but it is not strong enough to lift its head. Looking up is very hard for pigs. If a pig wants to look at the stars, it has to lie down.
Jump, jump!
Do you know Peppa Pig? She always jumps in muddy puddles(泥坑）.Why? Pigs like to shower in mud. The mud is like sunscreen（防晒霜)for pigs. It also protects them from insect bites. That's pretty smart!
New sea bridge opens in China A new bridge just opened on October24.The long bridge links(连接)three cities. It is the HongKong-Zhuhai-Macao Bridge(HZMB).The bridge looks like the letter "Y ".It is 55 kilometers long. It is the world's longest sea bridge. China spent nine years building this bridge. The HZMB is not just a bridge, but also part tunnel(登道）and part island .In one part, the bridge turns into an undersea tunnel. The tunnel passes through two man-made islands. Large ships can pass by above the tunnel. The HZMB makes it much faster to travel between the three cities. It takes 45 minutes to go from Hong Kong to Zhuhai. In the past, it took four hours. |
Chinese scientists made headlines last year by cloning（克隆）a pair of monkeys-Zhong Zhong and Hua Hua. Their names come from the Chinese words zhonghua, or "Chinese nation ". The monkeys were cloned using the same techniques(技术）that were used to produce Dolly, the world's first cloned animal, about 20 years ago. The monkeys could be used as a model to study genetic(遗传的）diseases, including some cancers(癌症）. |
As one saying goes, where there are Chinese people, there are kungfu legends. Jin Yong was regarded as one of the greatest kung fu fiction writers in China. And for many people, he built a magical kungfu kingdom that they could escape into every now and then. But this kingdom is falling apart now, because he passed away on October 30, 2018, at the age of 94. |
Have faith（信心）in others
I was in fifth grade. One day, my dad's car was broken into and all of the things inside were stolen, including my backpack. It had my binder(活页夹）,my textbooks and my notebooks, where I used to write stories. I was really sad. I had to go to school with nothing the next day. My teacher, Miss Taylor, was very kind to me. She gave me a new binder after I told her what had happened. She also handed me some crayons（蜡笔）and asked me if I'd like to color the front of the binder. I really appreciated（感激）her kindness. But I never did color the new binder, because something even better happened later that same day. Miss Taylor got a call from the office, after she hung up the phone, she said this exactly, "Zoe, a miracle has happened! Someone found your backpack! "I rushed to the office and got my backpack. When I opened it, I saw that all my things were still inside, including my notebooks. The office girl said it had been brought to the school by a couple. They found my backpack on the side of the road and brought it to the school's office because they found the address in my binder. It tums out that there are lots of people out there who are kind. There is no need to lose faith in society just because of one bad apple.
Can you build a robot that opens a door, picks things up, knocks things down or even scores a goal? Students on the robotics team at Discovery School in Oklahoma, US, have already done these things. They won the first place at the State Robotics Championship. In the competition, there were 66 teams from middle schools around the state. They got a box of Lego(乐高）pieces, wheels and motors. Besides building, the team also needed to program their robots. Each team had the same tasks to perform. So how did they score 564 out of 590, the best score? "We use Bluetooth, so we can download information from computer to robot, "said Hugo Reyna, an eighth-grader from the Discovery robotics team. For most teams, wires(电线)were the common tool they used to transfer(传输）information between computer and robot. But the Discovery team started researching Bluetooth transfers, a faster and more convenient way, about one year ago. Then they used the new technology in the competition. And it performed as well as the students hoped.
In one of the tasks, robots had to toss a ball into the goal. As the robots moved , lots of them tripped over(绊倒）the wires. But the Discovery team's robot was as flexible(灵活的）as a professional basketball player. It won the highest mark from the judges.
In the end, the team from Discovery received a certificate(证书）from Google, showing their achievements in robot technology.

17-year-old Cui Qingtao lives with his family in a village of Yunnan. He is the family's son. With a brother in a high school and a sister in Fourth Grade, Cui graduated from a high school this summer. To help his poor family money. He worked on a construction site(工地) his parents. On July 22,when he was working, Cui got the admission letter(录取通知书)from Peking University. He was by the famous University. When the mailman arrived, Cui was too busyto notice that there was a letter for him. Peking University is one of the top in China. Cui Qingtao made his parents very . His father can't read.

Walking through the winter park, I noticed the trees stand cold and bare. The winter has shaken their yellow leaves to the ground. As I keep walking, a noise in the background is becoming louder and clearer. Now, 100 meters ahead, a group of Chinese women gathered at the side of a path. In the cold breeze of winter, they're moving their arms and legs to a rhythm(节奏).They are, of course, the dancing aunties. It seems that if you go to any public place around China, you're likely to see these dancing aunties. When I first came to China, it was one of the things that surprised me. That's because in Britain, dancing in public is not a cultural habit. You won't see any age group swinging their arms and trapping their feet in a park. Usually, they just take a walk for exercise. Now and again the dancing aunties have hit the headlines. Some people find them annoying. But others respect their rights to dance in public. With most of them middle-aged, they finally have some free time to do whatever they like. There is no more work, and their kids have left. Personally, I like seeing these women enjoying themselves. They remind us of the importance of exercise as we get older. Besides, most of them have raised the whole family. Now it is time for them to have fun and enjoy some peace.
