    In an interview with media, Stephen Hawking's three children 1 their father as follows: He was curious. He encouraged questions because they are the start of exploration (探索). He was aggressive (进取的). He 2 stopped searching for subjects that he liked. He was 3. From his mouth, difficult physics turned easy and interesting.

From the school reports in Hawking's childhood, we know that he was just a(n) 4 boy, or even worse. Once, his mother asked him, "Are you really weak in your studies?" He answered, "Em… the others are the same." He was not from a rich family. However, his parents, who graduated from Oxford, 5 books a great teacher to their children. For the reason, 6 was common in Hawking's family.

    In his early days in Oxford, Hawking wasn't so excellent. It is said that he liked to bet (打赌) with others on strange topics and ended up losing every time. When he was going to graduate soon, his body went wrong. 7 his mind and spirit were free. He 8 became more interested in scientific research than before.

    There are many great scientists in the world. However, few of 9 are like Hawking, who never got tired of playing roles in films and TV plays and travelling around the world to 10 lectures. Now, the great man has gone, but we will remember him forever.

    Hello from Sydney! After a long day's trip, we arrived in Sydney last night. We were tired from the trip, but still had the time to get to know each other. We quickly grew into a small traveling family. It took us twenty-three hours to get here, but we all slept well.

    Sydney is a clean and safe city. It is really hot, but we love it. Because of the sunshine, everyone wanted to go to the beaches. When we walked down George Street to meet our guide, Aida, this morning, we saw many different buildings. We met Aida at Sydney's Town Hall and soon started our tour. We left for the Strand Arcade as we passed through lots of shops. We saw many visitors buy clothes and beautiful paintings in the shops. We then walked to the main shopping street of Sydney. Later, we bought things here during our free time. At the end of the tour, we visited the well-known Sydney Opera House. After lunch, we met back at the hotel for our first day of classes. This was a time to get to know our teachers and learn about classes.

    Tomorrow will bring a full day of classes from morning through to the afternoon. The English class will be a special trip to the Contemporary Art Museum where we will see lots of great works. There's so much to do in the city, and some of us don't even know where to begin. But there is always something for everyone to enjoy.

    Paulina Cortes is a teacher in San Jose, California. One day, she handed out masks (面罩) to farm workers in Lodi. She volunteered to do this because the air quality (空气质量) is still poor after a big fire.

    "I just got home and feel really tired now. Today I spent my day in Lodi handing out masks to farm workers," she wrote on the Internet. "I raised some money. Then I drove through San Jose and all the way to Salinas to buy enough masks I needed. This is important. The story here isn't that I handed out masks; it's that there are hundreds of people who are working in dangerous environments with no protection (防护). And no one even knows about it."

    Paulina also put some photos on the Internet, and they were picked up by the news. Many people were surprised at the news, and they knew what happened to those farm workers for the first time.

    The next day, Paulina added, "I traveled through Lodi and Stockton not just to hand out masks, but to help the farm workers understand the pollution. In Lodi yesterday the workers were picking fruit in such dangerous environments. None of them even knew this. Not too far from our homes, hundreds of people are working in these environments. I will buy more masks and send them to a Stockton farm worker. He helped me hand out masks yesterday."

    Thank you, Paulina, for caring and trying to make a difference.

    The 35th Weifang International Kite Festival opened in April 2018 in East China's Shandong, receiving kite fans from all over the world. Shandong has a long history of kite making. Over 2,000 years ago, a man named Gongshu Ban from Shangdong invented a kite. It was made of bamboo. In the following centuries, kite making developed well in China.

    The first Weifang International Kite Festival was celebrated in 1984. In 1983, chairman of the Seattle Kite Association David Checkley took part in a kite show in Shanghai and later he visited several kite manufacturers (制造商). He found that kites made in Weifang were the best. He suggested that an international event take place there. So Weifang began to hold it in April every year.

    At the fifth festival, Weifang became known as the "kite capital of the world". Today, Weifang is home to over 300 kite factories. Their products are sold to over 40 countries and areas, making up 85% of the domestic (国内的) market and 65% of the world market.

    However, there are also some problems. "Only a few people would like to learn traditional kite making," says Yang Hongwei. In her opinion, only something traditional can last. As for this problem, an older craftsman (手艺人) Zhang Xiaodong said, "Only through innovation can we achieve a bright future for traditional hand-made kites." Zhang has created a rocket-shaped kite after China launched the Shenzhou-5 spacecraft. "I have a controller and the two parts of the 'rocket' can separate in the sky," he said proudly. He is planning to use drones (无人机) in kite making next.

    Studies have shown that a good night's rest helps us stay healthy. Researchers say sleep is probably the best tool we have for memory and learning.

    "Getting a good night's sleep is important for the learning and memory process. It's important because it stores (储存) the training and learning exercises into our memory forever while we're sleeping 7-8 hours in bed. And then the next morning when we wake up our mind is better prepared to act on that information," Twery, an expert on the science of sleep and sleep disorders (失眠) said.

    But what about getting rest during the middle of the day? Past studies have shown that napping can help babies and young children learn better. In fact, napping can help older adults with their brain performance and may also help this group of people fight off age-related (年龄相关) memory loss.

    The researchers studied 3,000 people and found that those who took an hour-long nap did much better on mental (智力的) tests. The hour-long nappers also did better on the tests than those who napped for shorter and longer periods. But researchers note that these findings are for those over 65, and for young, healthy adults, an hour-long nap may be too long.

    "At present, we're suggesting that we try to nap for about 30 minutes or less. 30 minutes is enough to remove (消除) the pressure and will help us feel more awake. If we nap longer, we will get trapped into (陷入) the deep sleep, which can be hard to get out of," Twery said. This feeling is called sleep inertia — the period when you awake from a very deep sleep. For a time, you are unable to think clearly.

Since then, he has seen more and more Chinese tourists visiting the country to enjoy the winter holiday. "Chinese people are becoming (rich) and more international. But what has not changed is their stomachs. So I decided (open) the restaurant," Hu says.

    Hu's restaurant serves reganmian, a (tradition) Wuhan noodle dish, as well as Chinese hotpot. He orders food materials from China and offers e-payment popular among Chinese people such as Alipay. At the price of 15 euro, bowl of reganmian is not only great comfort for Chinese travelers have traveled from thousands of miles away, but also an attraction to the locals.

    In Rovaniemi, a population of around 60,000, Hu receives more than 300 (guest) a day and provides them with hot, delicious food in the cold, snowy country. Hu has married a Finnish woman and they have one child now. He has been used to the Nordic lifestyle with (ski) and ice fishing trips. He says he will bring his child to Wuhan, and try to go back to China at least (two) a year.
