If your pen broke at school today, what would you do? You would go to a shop and buy a new one. What if you could simply print out a real, working pen with your 3-D printer without leaving your room?
Ten years ago people could only see 3-D printing in science fiction movies. But now 3-D printing is here and it's bringing big changes.
Unlike normal printing that can only copy a 2-D picture with ink. 3-D printing can build almost anything made from material. The printer layers(分层) the material in different shapes to create the object you want to be copied.
The 3-D printer has been used to make many different things. People have made cups, cars and even an airplane with it. Doctors have been using 3-D printers for several years. People's nervous systems(系统) have been printed out in 3-D form in medical research. Some body parts have been printed and used in hospital. Several months ago, doctors used a 3-D printer to rebuild the face of a person who had a bad accident. In the future, it is expected that the printer will make human organs(器官)to save more lives.
However there are drawbacks to the printer. At the moment, printing can be quite slow and it's still rather expensive. The average(平均的) price of a household printer is around $1,700, not including the cost of the materials.
But as the technology develops, it shouldn't be long before disadvantages are improved. Only time will tell where this new technology will take us.
Can we "design" a baby like we design a handbag? It may sound crazy, but a "designer baby" could be possible now. Of course, at the same time, there are both agreements and disagreements with it.
The "designer baby" idea comes from the research that allows scientists to make changes to human DNA and genes (基因). Usually, it is done when the baby is still just an embryo (胚胎). By doing that, scientists hope that "designer babies" will less possibly be born with some certain serious illnesses.
During the 21st century, the idea became so popular that the research developed very quickly. Now, it has been firstly used to help born babies with their illnesses. One example of this is that Dr. Adrian Thrasher of University College London was able to save a 1-year-old child from leukemia (白血病) with the help of it. People learned that it was not only illnesses they could change, but also a baby's gender and looks. A well-known event happened in 1996. An American couple, Monique and Scott Collins, decided to use this research to help them choose the gender of their next baby. They wanted to have a baby girl for they have had three sons. Moreover, people could also decide babies' eye color, hair color and even things like height or how sportive babies will be.
Some people argue that it is not ethical (道德的)to design babies like designing a bag. It is strongly against the nature's rules. Besides, it may not have any bad influence on the baby now, yet no one knows what will happen to him and his children after many years.
What's sleepwalking(梦游)？Sleepwalking usually happens in the first few hours of sleep. Not all sleepwalkers walk when they are sleeping. Some just sit up or stand on the bed. Some even get up and walk around for a few minutes or half an hour. Some do things as if they were awake, but in fact they are not!
Sleepwalkers' eyes are open and they usually go back to beds by themselves. But they won't remember it the next morning.
About 15% of kids sleepwalk. Sleepwalking sometimes happens when a person is ill or worried, or doesn't get enough sleep. If sleepwalking happens often, you should see a doctor. If it doesn't, you don't need to worry. Here are some ways to help stop sleepwalking:
Listen to some music and relax before going to bed.
Go to bed at a regular time every night. keep your bedroom quiet and dark when you try sleeping.
Don't drink a lot of water in the evening and be sure to go to the bathroom before going to bed.
A story about the Mid-autumn Festival
A great festival for the Chinese takes place on the 15th day of the 8th Chinese lunar month. In 2019, the Mid-autumn Festival falls on September13th. As a time for families to be together, the Mid-autumn Festival has its typical food -the mooncake which is round and delicious. Long ago there was a king in China who was very cruel（残暴的）to the people and the country didn't go well. So they wrote notes telling about the meeting place and time and put them into cakes. On the 15th of August every person was told to buy the cakes. When they ate them, they discovered the notes. So they got together to make a sudden attack(进攻）on the king. From then on, the Chinese people celebrated on August 15th. .
When the Mid-autumn Festival is near, shop owners decorate (装饰)their shop windows beautifully with pictures of ancient Chinese ladies. People go to buy many kinds of mooncakes. On the evening of the day, people and their family have a big meal. After it, they eat mooncakes and watch the fullest and brightest moon.

Whenever my child caused me to change my schedule, I thought to myself, "We don't have time for this." Therefore, the two words I most commonly spoke to my child were: "Hurry up". But my promise to 1 was made almost three years ago, and I began my journey to grasp what 2 in life.
My younger daughter is my living reminder of why I must keep trying to slow down.
The two of us had taken a bike ride to the 3. After buying an ice cream for my daughter, she sat down at a table 4 admiring it she held in her hand. Suddenly a look of worry came across her face. "Do I have to rush, Mama?"
I could have 5. Perhaps the pains of a 6 life don't ever completely disappear, I thought sadly. As my child looked up at me waiting to know 7 she could take her time, I knew I had a choice. I could sit there in sorrow thinking about the number of times when I rushed my child through life…or I could 8 the fact that today I'm trying to do things 9. I chose to live in today.
"You don't have to rush," I said 10. Her whole face immediately brightened and her shoulders relaxed. And so we sat side-by-side talking. There were even moments when we sat in 11 just smiling at each other.
When she got to the last bite, she held out a spoonful of ice crystals and sweet juice for me. "I 12 the last bite for you, Mama," my daughter said 13. I realized I just got the deal of a lifetime. I gave my child a little time… and 14, she gave me her last bite and reminded me that things taste sweeter and love comes 15 when you stop rushing through life.
One day, a mother horse told her son, "My child, will you (happy) go and carry this bag of wheat to the mill(磨坊) to make it flour?" The little horse agreed without hesitation and (run) out of the house with the bag of wheat on his back.
After some time, the little horse came to a river, blocked his path to the mill. He suddenly got (confuse). Looking around, he saw a cow. So he asked, "Auntie Cow, can you tell me whether I can cross the river?" The cow answered, "Definitely you can. The water is very shallow." When the little horse was about (cross) the river, a squirrel shouted to him, "Don't cross the river. You will drown." Not (know) what to do, the little horse decided to go back to ask his mother, who said, "My son, it's not enough to only listen to others; you have to give it try by yourself, and then you'll know the answer."
With those words, he walked carefully across the river. The water was neither shallow nor (deeply). It was just fine for him. Finally the little horse crossed the river and completed his task. He also learned to overcome (difficulty) by practicing instead of only listening to others.
