Every year, thousands of young inventors show their ideas at NICEE. Some kids get invited to NICEE. The main goal of NICEE is to help kids know real problems and find ways to1 them.
2 this goal, many schools now have invention clubs. Kids in the clubs work together. They3 ways to make life better. They might invent something to make a job 4 or make people safer.
For example, Lucca wanted to help people like his grandmother. She had to 5 a breathing mask ( 面罩 ) in the hospital. That made it hard for others to hear her voice. So Lucca invented a new mask which6 a microphone. It send the person's voice to a speaker(扬声器). Now users can talk with others.
Inventions can be simple. One winner, Maddox, made a new garden shovel(铁铲). The shovel has marks on it to help gardeners know7 deep to dig their holes.
Before kids choose an idea, they have to build a model that works They 8 spend more than $ 50. The invention must be9. It also must fit inside a certain space.
NICEE shows the best inventions from the states. Young inventors get to meet one another.
They see 10 great ideas. Some of them win prizes. They can even learn about ways to sell their inventions.

I started playing when I was nine years old, and football got me through difficult periods. It helps make me who I am today.
My story with football started when I joined a league (联赛). I didn't want to be there at first. I was naturally weak and small. I was scared when I met my coach, Jim Graham, a huge and strong guy. And he was really strict. Coach Graham used to push me hard. He often said, "You're doing it all wrong, Pausch. Go back! Do it again!" I tried to do what he wanted. But it wasn't enough. "When the practice was over, one of the assistant coaches talked to me, "Coach Graham pushed you pretty hard. That's a good thing. When you're doing badly and nobody says anything to you anymore, that means they've given up on you. "
That conversation has been with mc closely my whole life. When you see yourself doing something badly and nobody's willing to tell yon anymore, that's a bad place to be. You may not want to hear it, but those who always push you hard in your life are often the ones telling you they still love you and care about you, and want to make you better.
There's a lot of talk these days about giving children self - respect. It's not something you can give; it's something they have to build. Coach Graham knew there was really only, one way to teach kids how to make it stronger: You give them something they can't do; they work hard until they find they can do it, and you just keep repeating.
Coach Graham made me realize that if I work hard enough, there will be things I can do tomorrow that I can't do today. I really felt thankful to him for what he had done to me.
A group of scientists goes to a forest to study monkeys. They want to study their habits and behavior. But the most difficult problem is: how to know who's who?
In the past, scientists had to make marks on each of the animals to distinguish them. But in the future, they may have a much easier way to tell them apart thanks to the facial recognition(面部识别) technology.
A research team from China is using the technology to learn about thousands of monkeys that live in Shaanxi Province. The technology that is used for monkeys needs every monkey's special to create a database (数据库), Xinhua reported.
"When the technology is fully developed, we can connect it with our cameras set up in the mountains. The computer will record every monkey, including their names and their behavior," said Zhang He, a member of the research team.
"For each monkey, we have 800 pictures, and we can make sure that 94 percent of the recognition is right," Zhang added. "Compared with facial recognition technology for humans, the technology for monkeys is more difficult because monkeys have hairy faces. The reason makes it harder for computers to do the job. "
"Monkeys do not work with scientists in the same way as humans do. It is difficult to take perfect pictures and videos of them, which is also a big problem for us," said Li Baoguo, the leader of the research team.
Now, there are about 4,000 monkeys living in Shaanxi Province. The team's challenge is to successfully record every monkey that lives there.
Recently, teenagers face many kinds of problems. Like many of them, I was once troubled with worries and dissatisfaction. Few people could understand my feelings.
"The problem is that you always expect to be happier," my mother once said. Shouldn't we try hard to achieve it?
But now I have noticed a change in my thinking. I gradually realize what my mother said was correct. Over these years, many studies have shown that we are crazy about happiness. We often complain (抱怨) about life.
In fact, don't expect big luck, and accept that no matter how hard we try, feelings of failure and unhappiness will appear from time to time. When we feel sad, it's often because we have learned something painful but important. At the same time, we should learn how to deal with them better than trying to make them disappear.
As my mother tried to teach me all those years ago, "Prepare for the worst, hope for the best, and be unsurprised by everything in between."
A. Neither could my parents.
B. So it's necessary for us to accept sad feelings as part of life.
C. Surely happiness is the purpose of living.
D. That may make us less satisfied with our lives.
E. Happiness arrives when we are least expecting it.

There is an old English saying, "Laughter is the best medicine." Norman Cousins was the person who this.
Norman Cousins worked for a magazine for almost forty years. He also wrote and spoke about world peace, to many different countries to share his ideas. In the 1960s, after returning to the United States from a busy trip to Europe, Mr. Cousins got sick. He had a serious illness. In than a week after he got back, he could not stand. Every move that he made was painful. He was not to sleep at night. The doctors told Mr. Cousins that they did not know how to deal with his problem. Mr. Cousins, however, refused to give up hope.
Mr. Cousins thought that the illness could be by unhappy thoughts. He did not want to take medicine. Instead, he felt that happy thoughts or laughter might beat his illness. He began to watch comedy shows on television. , Mr. Cousins found that ten minutes of real laughter during the day gave him two hours of pain - free at night. Then, he felt well enough to take a vacation. He could also run on the beach for exercise.
After a few months, Mr. Cousins was able to keep on doing his work. He had made back to health by laughing.
In 2021, 100,000 home fires in China caused more than 500 injuries(受伤) and 900 deaths. You can prevent fire deaths and injuries, and even most home fires by knowing about fire safety.
A fire safety plan tells everyone what to do if your home catches fire. Your family needs to make an plan for your home. When you discuss with your family, it is a good idea to talk about each person's responsibilities in case of a fire, such as who helps whom out of the house.
Fire safety education begins with children. You should teach your children to follow fire safety rules. Let your child know if his or her clothes are burning, always STOP, DROP, and ROLL.
Electrical fires are the most common type of home fires in China. If a fire happens, shut off the electricity, put out small fires with your home fire extinguisher (灭火器). Do not put water on electrical fires. Call 119 and report the fire.
①p something that you are going to do

Will the Internet be used instead of libraries? Well, the clear answer to this question—at least, it's clear to me—is no. But there are some people who don't think so. They suggest closing libraries, since "you can find everything on the Internet". In fact, they are wrong. One can't find everything on the Internet! The Internet makes search easy, but we really need books. The Internet is probably the best resource (资源) for many health and science topics. We can only make sure that the information we find on the Internet is true by reading books.
Libraries offer more services than just the basic information one can find through Google. For example, a school library can provide services and different resources for all students of the school. Students have different learning ways. School libraries can deal with all of these differences.
One of the great school librarian writers, Doug Johnson, recently wrote an article about this topic. I advise reading it to understand this topic from different sides. I especially like his last paragraph (段落):
"Don't take away either my electronic resources or my books. They are needed to provide students with useful information. And keep in mind that a school library is not just a collection of materials -print or electronic. It is an important mixture of resources, courses and activities. It can help students not only have information, but also the necessary skills to put that information to good use. "
