Counting the hairs on your head would be very difficult. Many have tried, but most people give up after losing count or getting bored! However, scientists say people have more than 100,000 hairs on their heads on average. Of course, this number is different from person to person. Some people have much more hair than others.

What causes hair loss? There are many reasons, such as stress, illness and styling. It also runs in families. Besides, many people simply lose hair as they grow older. To avoid losing hair. you should wash your hair correctly and condition (养护) your hair to help keep your hair healthy. It's also important to be gentle when brushing or combing hair.

Hair loss is not the same as daily shedding (脱落). People lose an average of 50 to 100 hairs a day. It's normal. If you are losing more hair than average, talk to the adults you trust. They can help you decide whether to ask a doctor for help.

Why do humans have hair on their heads? Most other mammals (哺乳动物) have thick fur (毛) covering their whole bodies. While humans grow small and fine (细微的) hairs on much of their skin, it's much thicker on the top of the head. Scientists say the answers come down to evolution. Humans probably evolved without fur because they have more sweat glands (汗腺) than other mammals. Humans walk upright on two legs. Therefore, the top of their heads needs protection from the sun. This is why people have more hair on their heads than on the rest of their bodies. The hair also helps keep heat in cold weather and keep a healthy body temperature.

We all know the sun is important. It makes life on our planet possible. But how does the sun do that? It's the sun's energy.

Energy from the sun is called solar energy (太阳能). It comes in the form of light or heat. People have used solar energy for thousands of years. The sun's energy can be used to heat water and even food. If you own a magnifying glass, your parents have probably warned you not to leave it in the sun. Solar energy can actually make the magnifying glass burn objects underneath it, causing a fire. This type of energy from the sun is called solar thermal (热的) energy.

We can also turn the sun's light into electricity. This is done with solar panels (板). Solar panels are made up of a material called silicon (硅). The silicon is heated and formed into very thin wafers (晶片). When the sunlight hits the solar panel, the electrons in the silicon move and flow through wires (电线). Using this technology, we can run a calculator and even power cars.

But what happens on cloudy days? The electrons in the silicon will stop moving, which means the electricity can't flow. But this doesn't mean that solar energy can only be used on sunny days. People can use the batteries (电池) which are attached to (附着于) solar panels to store the electricity. So the stored electricity can be used to power cars at night or on cloudy days.

Did you know that solar energy is not as expensive as it used to be? In fact, in the last few years, solar panels have become much more affordable for people to use. Since the sun gives off more energy in one second than people have used, imagine what we could do if we used the sun's energy to power our planet.

When you use a knife and fork. You have to take the knife with your right hand and the fork with your left hand, or you can't put food into your mouth. But with chopsticks. You can solve the eating problems with just one hand.

Chopsticks were called zhu or jia in ancient China. It is said that they were invented by Da Yu. who successfully controlled the heavy flood (洪水). One day he was busy dealing with the flood. In order to save time when eating, he used two sticks from a tree to take the hot food. That was how chopsticks came into use.

In fact, the earliest chopsticks found in China were made of bronze (青铜) . Which were unearthed from Yinxu in Anyang city, Henan Province.

Many people probably haven't realized the cultural meanings of chopsticks. Do you notice that one end of chopsticks is square and the other end is round? So, why? According to our ancestors, the round end symbolized (象征) Heaven and the square end symbolized Earth. In Chinese culture, it shows the perfect combination (结合) of yin and yang.

The influence of Chinese culture has stretched (延伸) far and wide. So it's unbelievable that foreigners cannot use chopsticks.

Cooking is supposed to be the most basic living skill for humans. However, there are many kids who are used to being fed and taken of everywhere like "little emperors and little princesses". They can't tell the between food materials like leeks (韭菜)and shallots (小葱).

In order to stress (强调)the importance of hard-working spirit education students. the Communist Party of China Central Committee recently released (发布)the guidelines. The guidelines call for students to respect labor (劳动)work. Students should learn basic life skills and develop good working through such education.

Students will be to understand and master the basics of home cooking, from preparing vegetables to being able to complete the whole process of home cooking independently. These will be lifelong skills for kids, helping them develop into well-rounded individuals (个体), not just students who able to take exams.

As children's teachers, parents should also encourage children to learn to do chores at home. Students should master one or two life skills every year. These skills can include cooking, washing their own clothes and tidying their rooms.

It's really important for students to take labor education at school and at home.
