Years ago a heavy rain hit Chongqing and made the Yangtze River rise.
When the rain stopped, people found that a dog, later named Huahua, swam across the river to an island(小岛)twice a day for two weeks. Why? Because Huahua's four children were there. The mother dog swam there every day to feed her babies. This story touched many people
Not only humans but animals are responsible. Animals know love as we humans do, and Huahua is only one of them. British scientist Jane Goodall spent 14 years living with chimpanzees(黑猩猩) in Africa. She found that chimpanzees cared for each other when others got hurt or lost parents.
Two birds in Chengdu showed their parental love. Their baby was hurt and fell on the street in the centre of the city. Cars were driving past but the brave parents flew down to the road and took the little bird away with their claws(爪子).
Animals not only love their own children, but also care for other animal babies. A chimpanzee named Anjana in an American animal research centre takes care of a baby lion. She feeds the lion carefully every day. "They are just like mother and son, "said a worker at the centre.
How do you study each day? You may answer it in one second: by having classes at school, taking notes and doing homework. Feeling a little bored? There are other ways that can make learning interesting and varied. It's called digital learning.
Digital learning is a way to help students learn by using the Internet There are three important kinds of digital learning. Apps are computer software applications(应用). People can download them on their mobiles. The other two kinds are social networking services, including Weibo and Wechat and websites. Every one of them is like your teacher. They help you master what you learn at school.
Compared with traditional learning ways, digital learning has its advantages. Digital learning is varied. It covers almost every school subject. More importantly, it always offers students the newest resources(资源) to earn from.
Digital learning is also personalized. You can choose what you like to learn. If you don't master what you have learned at school, you can learn again through digital ways.
However, digital learning also has disadvantages. When you use digital ways to learn, you've got little chance of talking with teachers and classmates. As digital learning uses computers or smartphones, watching the screen too long may be bad for your eyes. It is better to take a rest every 20 minutes
