Finland(芬兰) is one of the northern European countries. There is something for everyone to do in Finland. What comes to your mind when you think of this country? Now let me introduce some to you. |

Go bird watching
Finland is home to many kinds of birds. This country even has some rare birds that you can't find in Europe or other parts of the world. Finland, in other words, is a bird watcher's paradise(天堂)，especially during bird migration(迁徙)season in May in Southern Finland. |
Go skiing
In Centra1 Finland，it has more snow than other parts of the country. People will find 31ski resorts(度假地). The longest slope is in Koki. It has a length of 1,050 meters. It's 50 meters longer' than the second one. People can enjoy skiing between late November and April. |
Try ice fishing
When the frozen lakes in Finland are strong enough, Finns dress up for the cold weather and ls it by the mid-lakes to catch fish from the icy waters. If you are a fishing lover，make sure to join the Finns in this famous winter pastime. Finland has a lot of lakes. That means there are plenty of places to catch ice fish. |
Heritage(遗产) is traditional customs, history and beliefs. We use the word "heritage" in many different ways. People talk about their family heritage, city heritage and national heritage.
Today, heritage is changing. The Internet connects people around the world. In many ways this is a good thing, because we can learn about the heritage of other countries，and we can show our own heritage to the world. However, some people worry that traditional heritage is disappearing. In many ways, countries are becoming more and more alike(相似的). In most countries around the world, you can find KFC, Nike shoes, Starbucks coffee, American movies and so on, Some people think this is a good change, and others don't like it. You can decide whether it's a good thing or not.
However, everyone wants to protect traditional heritage, and sometimes this is hard. For example, when a new KFC opens in your city, a traditional restaurant might have to close.
That is why heritage protection is so important. Heritage protection is a simple thought. It means keeping your country's or your city's heritage alive. People do this in many ways. The biggest part of heritage protection is probably preserving(保护) old buildings. Some suggestions of heritage protection are making sure your kids speak your traditional language, and teaching knowledge about heritage to them.
The world is changing. No matter how it changes, never forget the heritage of our parents and grandparents.
Is your TV connected to the Internet? What about your chair, or your fridge? Probably they are not. But in the future, most things in your home may be connected, thanks to the so-called "Internet of things".
The Internet of things may be coming sooner than you think. Earlier this year, a Samsung CEO spent a lot of time talking about the Internet of things. He said that five years from now, every Samsung product will be part of the Interact of things, no matter whether it's a fridge or a washing machine."
So, how do household(家用的)objects that are part of the internet of things work? For example, an Internet-connected camera could help people feel safer in their homes. It can know people's faces and has an infrared sensor(红外传感器)，so even if it's dark it can see when someone passes by and send you a message on your start phone to let you know who's there. If the person is someone you don't know, it can tell you that, too. Think of a common chair. When connected to the Internet, the chair warms up when it knows the user bas just walked into the room and is feeling cold.
But according to MIT Technology Review, whether companies are connecting dog food bowls or sofa to the Internet, there may be some problems. Because many early connected-home objects don't have built-in security systems, which means they could be hacked(被黑客攻击)easily. Moreover, it could be difficult to get these new machines to work together especially when they are made by different companies. To fight this, many companies, have joined the Open Interconnect Consortium, which had 45 members by late 2016.
So, picture this: you enter your home. The temperature changes to make you feel comfortable. Your favorite music starts playing for you. Do you think that this would be a good thing? It may happen sooner than you think.
Brenda Bongos was a happy, talented girl. She had one big dream--to play the drums in a band. But one big problem lay in her way. To be good enough to play in a band, Brenda had to practice a lot, but she lived next door to a lot of old people. Many of them are sick. She knew that the sound of beating drums would really get them nervous. So, she had tried playing in the strangest places: a basement, a kitchen, and even in a shower. But there was always someone who .would get mad.
One day, while watching a science documentary on TV, she heard that sound cannot travel in space, because there's no air. At that moment, Brenda Bongos decided to become a musical astronaut.
With the help of a lot of time, books and work, Brenda built a space bubble(泡).This was a big glass ball connected to a machine which sucked out(吸出) all the air inside. All that would be left inside was a drum kit(配套设备) and a chair. Brenda got into the space suit she had made, entered the bubble, turned on the machine, and played those drums like a wild child.
It wasn't long before Brenda Bongos became very famous. Many people came to see her play-in her space bubble. Shortly afterwards she came out of the bubble and started giving concerts. Her fame(名声，名望) spread so much that the government suggested that she be part of a special-space journey. Finally, _________________ and it was far beyond her first dream of playing drums in a band.
Years later, when asked how she had realized all her dreams, she thought for a moment, and said, "If those old people next-door hadn't mattered so much to me, I wouldn't have found a solution(解决), and none of this would have ever happened."
