For the first time, a heart needed for a life-saving operation was delivered by a flying drone! It's not often that life-saving help in from the sky, but that's just what happened to one patient in a city in the United States. She had been waiting for a heart transplant for eight years and had finally heard that the operation could .
These operations are where organs, such as a heart, are taken from one person's body and put into the body of someone else, who needs it to . It's really important to get the organ to the person as quickly as possible. Previously, they have usually been delivered by ambulance or plane. This patient's new heart, however, was the first to be flown by a specially designed drone! This drone was to deliver medical supplies and organs, and could keep the essential heart safe and at the right temperature.

It wasn't a long journey, only about 3 miles but the engineers hope to use it for longer. Drones could make these deliveries safer and quicker than other vehicles. As they are unmanned, they might even be cheaper to operate.
The operation was a and the patient is now getting better in a hospital in the USA. “This whole thing is amazing,” she said. Drones are already being used the world to help people and save lives. In Africa, drones are often used to deliver medicine to remote or hard-to-reach places. They've also been used in Australia to help find people caught in seas and even deliver safety devices to people in danger. As this new technology develops, who knows what other uses we could find for drones?

Good afternoon, my name is Emma Hicks and I would like to explain why you should vote for me in the student council(学生会) elections on June 1st.
I have been attending this school since I was 7 years old so I 1 a lot about what happens here. I learned to use maths to solve real-world problems at this school; I wrote my first essay at this school and I have enjoyed every minute of my time here. However, I think that together we could make some 2 that would benefit or help everyone.
Have you ever wondered what PE lessons would be like if the equipment we had was even better? How about if you get to 3 how the money raised at the school will be spent? I plan to arrange new and exciting fundraising opportunities and then ask you – the children – what we should spend our money on to make sure we have the best equipment possible.
Furthermore, I will make an excellent school councilor because I have really good ideas. I have shown this in my school work and in my projects. I know what children at this school want because I have lots of friends and I talk to lots of people. I am 4 talking to adults – it always says so on my school reports.
5, I am trustworthy and honest. This is extremely important for a school councilor. If my friends tell me a secret, they can depend on me not to tell anyone else. Just the other day I found a mobile phone at the canteen and handed it straight in to the office.
I have explained why I am 6 the best candidate for this position. I know the school; I have good ideas which I can communicate and I am reliable and honest. Vote for me.
We may think today that Donald Trump invented the term, but “fake news” has been around for a while. In the early 19th century, small regional and local papers made their product known and i their sales with a lot of made-up news articles. The Central Park Zoo Escape, reported on November 9, 1874, is one such event.
The front page of the New York Herald that day reported that v animals had escaped from the Central Park Zoo. A rhino had fallen into a sewer (下水道) and a lion had been seen walking slowly through a church. The article said that, while the police and National Guard were doing what they could, twenty-seven people had already died and many others had been injured. Readers were scared and armed men were seen in the streets, preparing to p their loved ones and property by battling the wild animals of the zoo. In their upset, they clearly hadn't read to the end of the article: the l line stated that the whole story given above is a pure lie!
But why was it done? The article was the creation of a reporter named Joseph Clarke. Working alongside his editor, Clarke wanted to highlight the dangerous conditions at the zoo by showing the readers what could happen, not what a had. They had no idea of the fear it would cause. The paper never apologized for the upset to New Yorkers. I, they ran a short statement requesting that safety conditions at the zoo should be improved.
The l to learn? Always read right to the end!
The whole story given above is not a pure lie!
Our Great Ocean Road Adventure
By Donna Waverley
My family and I recently went to Australia, to see my grandparents. But before we visited them, we went sightseeing along the Great Ocean Road, on the Australian coast.
Dad had planned to drive, but even though he was used to driving miles without getting exhausted, he then read on the website that the road wouldn't be an easy drive. Anyway, we thought he deserved to enjoy the fantastic views too, which he couldn't do as our driver. So instead, we booked discount bus tickets and off we went.
Our first stop was where wild kangaroo lived – and Dad and I were taking a walk when a big one appeared! For a moment, it seemed to consider coming towards us, which made me a little nervous – but then it went off along the road and into the bushes.
That wasn't the only wildlife we saw. I thought it unlikely we'd see famous Koala bears during our short visit. In fact, at our next stop, we saw roughly six million in that area! Sadly, some gum trees they were in had very few leaves left, which people told us was because of the Koalas, although I'd read that lack of water is indeed the problem.
Dad had booked a campsite for the night, with ready-made tents – for an adventure! I wasn't sure about that, but they were really luxury tents, within walking distance of some famous rocks and other places we hoped to visit. However, Dad also said the sounds of wild creatures would help us sleep. That sounded worrying – until the “wild creatures” turned out to be frogs! So I was embarrassed by my fears – and kept awake by the frogs! But we had fun making meals together – we'd brought food, as we knew there'd be nowhere to eat.
In fact, this whole trip was fantastic!
