There once lived a beautiful white elephant, and everyone in the land wanted to find her just to have a look. The news traveled all over the land and finally1 the king.
The king wished to have this elephant for himself,2 he sent his men deep into the forest to find her. After many months, the king's men discovered where she lived, put her in chains and3 her to the king.
The king wanted to make the4 obey. He ordered his trainers to make her tame (驯化的). But, no matter how hard5 tried, the elephant could not be trained. Maybe she could not understand the6 . Perhaps she was stubborn (顽固的). But this only angered the trainers. They7 her and pierced her until her skin was black and blue from the beatings.
The elephant rose up one day and broke her chains. She8 through the palace, frightening everyone. She then broke through the gates and made her way deep into the forest. She traveled for9 ，fearing the king's men might catch her again. But they10 their pursuit (追赶)after two weeks, and returned to the palace.
The elephant could not make the memory of her abuse go away. Every time the wind blew in the trees, she became11 , causing her to run, bumping into trees and branches and rocks. She became12 and blue again from all of the running in fear.
Then one day, the wind blew again and she started running as usual. After running for many hours in fear, the elephant came to rest13 a special tree in which a wise man lived. The wise man could feel her great fear. He said to her, "The wind moves the clouds in the sky but it is not your14 . Do not be afraid of the wind, for it cannot hurt you. Your fear is in your mind. Look there and you will find it. "
The elephant15 understood what he was telling her. She began to breathe easily and she never lived in fear again.

What do you often do to save money when you travel? I think besides the price of the hotel, there are other things that can help you save some money.
Stay at a hotel that offers free breakfast. This is a common way of saving money when people travel. Hotels with the best free breakfast include Embassy Suites by Hilton,Courtyard by Marriott,and Holiday Inn Express.
Enjoy free "Happy Hour". The hotel Embassy Suites by Hilton offers a"Manager's Reception(招待会)"every day from 5:30 p. m. to 7:30 p. m. During this time, you can get free drinks and snacks. Although it's hard to find another hotel that does this, there are some hotels which offer "Buy one, get one free".
Stay at a hotel that offers the free Internet. Many hotels offer the free Internet, which makes it convenient for you to surf online and can help you save some money.
Stay at a hotel that offers the free shuttle(班车)service. The best way for you to avoid renting a car.
Stay close to the place you will visit. It makes good sense to choose a hotel in the resort (度假胜地). For example, you can choose a hotel in Disneyland if you are visiting it. And this way can also save you a lot of time.
Having successful surgery(外科手术)can help save people's life. A doctor's hands always play an important role when doing surgery. Therefore,scientists are always working hard to use new helpers- robots--to make them more precise(准确的)in surgery.
MicroPort MedBot, a company in Shanghai,made a surgical robot to help doctors do surgery in small space. The robot has four arms and the arms can do things like a doctor's hands. It can also give a 3D picture of the surgery. The robot won the "Super AILeader"prize at the 2022 World Artificial Intelligence Conference.
Du Qunjian from MicroPort MedBot, said that the robot would help more doctors do various kinds of difficult surgery. "There are only a few excellent doctors who are able to do some complicated surgery across the country," Du said. " But with the help of robots, we can solve the problem. "
"Sometimes it takes long to do surgery. And doctors will feel tired easily. With the robot, doctors can see clearly what they're doing," Du said. " The robotic surgery could also save the sick people from the danger of infection (感染)and help them get well faster after the surgery. "
In June, MicroPort MedBot finished two remote(远程的)robotic surgery at hospitals in Jiangsu and Xinjiang. The company hopes to use5G to help more people in poor places.
Now surgical robots are not popular in hospitals because of their high costs. But the market for them is expected to grow in China over the next few years. According to a report, the market size for surgical robots in China will grow from $400 million in 2020 to $3. 8 billion in 2026.
①Who made it? ②Why was it made?
③How long did it take to make it? ④What does it look like?
⑤What can it do?
If you look at the top of your phone , you'll usually see a small symbol that shows 3G or 4G. The "G"means the" generation" of your mobile network. But they will become history after the 5G network fully arrives.
In recent years, China makes great achievements in 5G. Now it's making efforts to popularize the business use of 5G. Shanghai is the first city in China to start testing the 5G network. On March 30，2019,Wu Qing, one of the leaders of Shanghai, made the first 5G video call with a Huawei Mate smartphone.
5G allows people to download and upload data faster than ever before. It is at least 10 times faster than the 4G network. But 5G doesn't just bring faster mobile Internet. People can use it for many other things as well. For example, 5G can make self-driving cars safer. Today's self- driving cars have one problem--time lag. When a self-driving car"sees" an obstacle(障碍物)，it sends the information to data center and receives instructions. However, it takes time to do that. That's the time lag. With this kind of lag, the car might have an accident because it doesn't receive instructions in time. But with 5G, the self-driving car can receive instructions in a shorter time.
5G can also be used to power the Internet of Things(物联网). This refers to a large online network that connects all things and people. Fast Internet speeds will be the key to developing this technology. For example, with the Internet of Things, your smart fridge could order eggs online when it notices that there are no eggs left inside.
The facts listed above are only part of what 5G can do. Just as in the early days of the Internet in the 1990s, few could see how it could change the world. The same will surely happen to 5G. With 5G,many things do not seem like dreams to anyone. Now let's get ready to say goodbye to 4G and welcome the coming of 5G.
Every year, millions of birds are killed or hurt when they fly into buildings. Why does this happen? Birds are flying into windows and tall buildings that are all covered by glass.
Many birds fly from one place to another. Most of the time, they live in the wild, such as forests and wetlands.They might see small trees and flowers inside a window and want to rest on these plants. The birds do not know there is glass between them and the plants.
Some birds fly at night. They use the moon and stars to help guide them in the right direction. Tall buildings with lights on at night can confuse(迷惑) the birds. The birds see the light, but they cannot tell that the light is coming from inside a building. They fly toward the light and crash into a building. On many mornings, there might be several dead birds lying on the ground.
Many office buildings now turn off their lights at night. This helps reduce the number of birds that fly into buildings and it also helps save energy.
