Without the Intent or phones, communicating long distance is limited. Yet throughout history, cultures have developed ways to produce messages that travel miles. Morse Code is a system of communication. It uses patterns of signals to send and receive messages, often with a machine called a telegraph.
A telegraph is a machine that creates different signals from different messages. These signals are then changed into electrical current. They are sent across a wire. They can travel long distances, such as across the country or ocean. Another telegraph receives these signals. The machine changes the signals back into the original message.
In Morse Code, there are three types of signals. They are dots, dashes, and pauses. Dots (·)are the short noises or flashes of light. Dashes(一)are longer noises or flashes of light. Spaces( )are the pauses. Patterns of these signals represent letters, numbers, and punctuation marks. In Morse Code, letter A is one dot and one dash, letter E is one dot, letter I is two dots. As for consonants, letter C is one dash, one dot, one dash and one dot, letter D is one dash and two dots, Letter T is one dash.
Morse Code was invented in the United States by Samuel Morse during the 1830s. People soon realized that the code could not transmit all messages in other languages. To fix this problem, a newer version called the International Morse Code was developed. International Morse Code is simpler and more exact. For example, the original Morse Code could only represent a few of the letters. The International Morse Code, on the other hand, is for all letters.
① The signals are sent across a wire. ②The signals are changed back to letters.
③Another telegraph receives these signals. ④ The telegraph changes signals to electricity.
Cathy HackI's son wanted a party for his 9th birthday. He wanted to hold the party on Roblox, a website where users can play and create games. Roblox is part of the metaverse. This is a virtual-reality space. There, users can interact with other people and digital environments. Virtual reality is a three-dimensional simulation of a real-life image or environment. "They hung out and played, "Hackl said, "Just because it happens in a virtual space doesn't make it less real. "The term metaverse has become popular. Today, people are spending more of their lives in virtual spaces.
The word metaverse comes from a science fiction book from the 1990s. But the metaverse has been around longer than that Online communities have existed since the 1980s. We enter the metaverse through a screen. This could be through virtual reality(VR). It could also be through augmented reality(AR). Augmented reality covers computer-generated images on the real world. These experiences create a greater blending of our virtual and real lives. But these two worlds already cannot be separated and we don't even need any headsets, such as VR glasses.
Think about the Didi Taxi app. It uses location data to tell drivers where their cars are.
The metaverse is an expansion(扩张)of the Internet. There are lots of Internet problems to solve already. Still, many people say it has real benefits. They say it can increase social networks and improve mental health. Hackl is a metaverse expert, and she's African. She says, "You can encourage a lot more people to join and build social relations. "For those already spending part of their life in the metaverse, that building has begun.
Carrie Tatsu runs a business in the metaverse. But she wants her kids to spend time in the real world. "It's so important for humans to be with humans in real life, "she said, "I think as kids grow up in this space, it's important for them to take part, go smell a flower here, walk on a trail, have a real conversation with a friend. Even though you can simulate that, the simulation is not the same. "

A. It is not easy to make the plant look special and beautiful—for example, make it like a ball because you have to cut the extra (额外的)branches(枝条)very patiently. So be sure to do it slowly and carefully. B. If you want your plants to have more flowers in the following years, remember to cut off the faded(凋谢的) flowers in time. Be careful not to hurt the other part of the branches. C. Cut 10-20%of the plant's leaves at a time. Do not cut off all the leaves, as this can make it difficult for it to grow properly. Wait a few weeks to one month to cut the plants again. D. When one branch of the plant is too long, it is harmful for the other branches to get enough space to grow. So you need to cut it much shorter. E. For some flowers, you need to check the root (根部)every year. If you find anything weak or badly hurt, the only thing to do is to cut them off. The earlier, the better. F. In order to help some of the plants grow much faster, you'd better cut almost all the upper branches of the plant before winter. Be sure you don't leave any leaves. |

Have you ever heard of friendships among animals? At a zoo in Germany, an unusual friendship developed between a cat and a bear.
No one is quite sure the friendship first began. One day, some (keep)in the zoo noticed a black cat was in the bear's cage, and the two animals were playing together peacefully. They were surprised how well the small cat seemed (get)along with the large bear, The bear keeper thought (stay)with the bear might be a dangerous thing for the cat but it was actually not. And later the pair and their unusual friendship (become)a hot topic at the zoo.
After several years, a new cage was built for the bear , the cat was still in the same cage, so it walked around (angry)and cried to be with the bear. The bear keeper finally took pity on it and let it stay with the bear. The cat and the bear got (close)than before. They often sat together and shared meals the sun.
Sometimes it may be natural for animals to have (they)own ideas about who would make a good friend. These may surprise humans, who usually expect animals to form relationships with others of the same species
