"Sir, anything else? One piece is not enough 2 all of you." The waiter said.
The dad was a little embarrassed. He said, "Thanks. It's enough. We 3 supper already. We just want to bring our boy to have beef steak."
I watched 4 for a while. I found that the parents not only took the boy to have beef steak, but also regarded it as a kind of learning. The parents taught the kid 5 to use a knife and fork and told him some table manners.
I was a little interested, so I want 6 friends with the family. Then I walked over and asked 7, "May I offer each of you to a cup of coffee?" They accepted my coffee with a smile. We began to chat.
"To be honest, we are very poor, 8 we can't buy any expensive food at all. However, we believe he will achieve great success in the future. That's why we teach him the good table manners," said the dad. "We hope our kid can be a person 9 respects himself and others."
We became friends and got on well with each other. Afterwards, great progress 10 by the kid. He became a successful businessman. He even invited me to drink a cup of coffee in the most expensive restaurant in England!

Schools in China are studying how they can put VR(=virtual reality 虚拟现实) lessons into their classroom experience. One such lesson uses VR to teach children fire safety. Instead of pens and paper, students wear VR headsets in the classroom. They are put into a virtual environment where a fire has broken out. They must find their way out and escape carefully.
At the VR medical school under Sichuan University, a virtual system allows medical students to examine human body in different ways. They can even separate organs for closer examination. Students can practice their operation skills without a real body.
Simon Leung, vice-chairman of a VR company, said the company has developed VR classrooms and computers that send students to a 360 degree digital world. Moreover, the VR headsets can tell whether children are focused on the task at hand, Leung said.
Chinese parents, however, have a different opinion on VR lessons. They are suspicious of VR because they are unsure if the technology will have any bad effects. They are worried about their children's eye sight, too.
Besides, VR equipment comes at a price. A top VR headset and computer could cost up to 10,000 yuan(1,475 U. S. dollars). "We need to do more to lower the cost and improve the user's experience," said Huang Ronghuai, professor at the Smart Learning Institute under Beijing Normal University, "But we are sure that we will change the model of education in the future."

Chang'e-5 Back Home In an ancient Chinese story, a beautiful goddess named Chang'e flew to the moon alone. It was a sad story because she never came back home. However, another Chinese "Chang'e" just came back. After weeks of space travel, the Chang'e-5 lunar probe(月球探测器)came home on December 17th, 2020. It landed successfully in Siziwang banner in the Inner Mongolia autonomous region. The whole flight took more than 20 days. Chang'e-5 brought back rocks and soil from the moon. They are the world's freshest lunar rocks in over 40 years. China has become the third country in the world to successfully bring back rocks from the moon, after the US and the former Soviet Union. The return of Chang'e-5 was the last step in China's three-step lunar exploration program(探月工程). It began in 2004, including orbiting, landing, and bringing back samples, Xinhua News Agency reported. To work together with other countries, China has planned to send some rocks to scientists from all over the world. Going to the moon has been a dream for Chinese people, and the story of Chang'e has been told through the ages. Now, Chang'e-5 has helped Chinese people realize the dream. |
