We've heard about several "poor students" in the past year. Cui Qingtao, a student from Yunnan, working with his parents on a building site when he got an admission letter (录取通知书) from Peking University. She is a student from Hebei. She was doing her part-time job in a different city when her family got her admission letter from Peking University.
For example, they are all strong and optimistic (乐观的). Li hui said in an interview," As long as we are alive, there are no problems that cannot be solved, and many people don't have my experiences. " Such an idea makes many adults feel embarrassed. He refused to accept donation money and decided to make money by himself. This is also the common thing that " poor students " have.
Whatever kind of values you hold, such personalities are necessary for growth. Not everything goes well all the time. Only being strong and optimistic can one go through difficulties. In fact, living in poor families doesn't promise such good personalities, and living in happiness doesn't promise optimistic attitudes (态度). We like such "poor students "because they are strong and optimistic.
For them, few can choose their lifestyles. That's why they are highly praised. Every one of us should learn from them.
A. Life is full of ups and downs.
B. A girl named Wang Xinyi is another example.
C. "Poor students" are usually hard-working and caring.
D. And these experiences make me grow and become better.
E. Born in poor families, these students have a lot in common.
F. However, all of them can choose their attitudes towards life.
G. We can learn a lot from these "poor students".
Have you ever had dreams about building a robot? Or putting together a spaceship? Or even seeing your face made out of chocolate? Done. All you need is a 3-D printer!
The possibilities of 3-D printing seem endless. All the user has to do is to design an object on the computer and choose a material to print in. The printers print in hundreds of different materials including glass, sugar and even skin! When the user presses "print", the 3-D printer spreads the material layer(层) by layer and like magic the object is produced.
The first 3-D printer was invented in 1986 by an American, Charles Hull. But 3-D printing has only become cheap enough recently for most people to use. Designers now use 3-D printing to create unusual things. The Dutch artist Dirk Vander Kooj prints furniture made from old fridges. And doctors have used 3-D printing to print human body parts! The Telegraph reported in February that scientists from Cornell Medical College even printed a man-made ear.
But like a lot of new technologies, if 3-D printing gets into the wrong hands, it can be dangerous. In 2011 a group of four men in the US used 3-D printing to produce ATM skimmers (提款机盗刷器). These were placed on an ATM and stole over $400,000 from users of the ATM. It is terrible to think that criminals like them might one day use a 3-D printer to print a gun.
But for better or for worse, 3-D printing has been put into use. In a few years, you'll probably be wondering how you could ever live without your 3-D printer!
①. Choose a proper material. ②. Press the print button.
③. The 3-D printer spreads the material. ④. Use a computer to design an object.
Now too much CO2 makes the Earth warmer and warmer, and brings bad effect to people. To save our Earth, a new lifestyle called low-carbon life becomes popular. Low carbon means low energy and no waste. It is necessary for everybody to learn to live a low-carbon life.
To live a low-carbon life, we'd better save as much energy as we can. For example, turn off the lights and TV when you don't use them, use cold water to wash clothes or dishes; take a short shower and try to take a cold one when the weather gets warm; don't do the cooking with electricity.
To live a low-carbon life, we should eat less meat. Being a vegetarian can help reduce(减少) one and a half ton of carbon dioxide a year, but keeping animals for food produces even more carbon dioxide than all the cars do in the world.
To live a low-carbon life, we should plant more trees. Trees are very important for us. They can not only produce oxygen for us to breathe and keep the air clean, but also take in the harmful gases from the air. To protect trees we should stop people from cuting down trees and plant as many trees as we can.
If we can keep them a habit in our daily life, the earth will become a safer planet for us to live on.
Peter is an eight-year-old boy. He began to go to school last year. Now he's in Grade Two. He lives not far from the school, but he's often late for class. He doesn't like studying. He likes watching TV in the evening and goes to bed late, so he can't get up on time in the morning.
Mrs. Black teaches Grade Two English. She is strict(严厉的) with her students. She often tells them to come to school on time. This morning, Peter gets up late again. It is 8:10 when he gets to school. "You're fifteen minutes late for the first class, Peter,"Mrs. Black says angrily, "why are you often late for class?"
"Every time when I get to the crossing, I see a guidepost(路牌). It says, 'SCHOOL—GO SLOW(慢行)'！"
Dear Dr Lee,
The days of mine are not all sunny. As a middle school student, I have many problems. On the one hand, I am under great pressure(压力) in my studies, I need to take the exams every month. If I fall behind other students, I will feel that I am not doing well. I always want to be the best, but things can't go on my way. On the other hand, I don't want to talk to my parents about my problems. If they ask me questions, I will answer them with few words. I think they won't understand me. And my body grows fast, changes happen in me, I can't control my emotion(情绪). What should I do?
Laura
Dear Laura,
It's normal to have these problems. But don't worry. The life is not always wonderful. Everybody has growing pains(痛苦) on their way to the growth. But the time is fair(公平的), gains(收获) are always with pains. Growing pains seem full of knowledge and experience. Although there's so much homework, so many exams, and so many different ideas between the parents and you, you will learn how to make your dreams come true by working hard and how to understand each other by talking with your parents. Growing pains worry you a lot but they will give you power(力量) and confidence(自信) at the same time. They can help you to be successful and make more friends as well. Successes and friendships can make you happy and enjoyable. Both pains and gains can make your life more colorful. So I think what you need to do is learning to adjust(调节) yourself and get used to these changes. You need to open your heart and have less pressure.
Dr Lee

Look up at the sky at night. What can you see? Before electric lights, people could often see about 2,500 different stars. Now, light fills the skies over our cities. This is called light . Because of it, people in cities can often only see about ten !
Most of the time, light helps us. We can because of it. It gives plants energy. But light isn't always . We need times of dark . One hundred years ago, we had those times of dark. Now the night is like day. Some scientists are worried about this light effects (影响) our health. These scientists are studying the effects of light pollution.
Other scientists are finding ways to light pollution and make our lives better. For example, many street lights now have covers. The covers focus the light the ground. They stop the light from going into the sky. They also save energy. The covers are a change, but they can have a positive (正面的) effect.
