    Old tires（轮胎）are no good for a car, right? But they can be good for another way of 1:walking!

    In Zimbabwe, people 2 throw away old tires. They use old tires to 3 sandals （凉鞋）. One of these people is Casper Mamutse.

    When Casper first saw Isaac wearing tire sandals, he thought they looked 4. He asked Isaac where he 5 them. Isaac said he made them himself. Casper 6 to buy a pair to make his friends laugh. But his friends didn't laugh. They wanted their own. So Casper asked Isaac to  7him to make tire sandals.

    Casper says, "The most 8 part of making sandals is to put a shoe sole（鞋底）on the tire and cuts out a sole with a 9. That needs power（力量）and skills. You also need to be 10, or you will cut your finger easily. "

    Can you remember your life when you were just one year old? It's almost impossible, isn't it?- in fact, we usually remember very little of life before the age of seven. It feels like at that young age, we don't know how to remember things well.

    Why can't we remember anything about our lives when we were babies? Scientists have worked hard on this problem for many years. Now, a study in Canada may give us an answer. It is a study about "neurogenesis"（神经形成）. During the neurogenesis, the brain makes neurons（神经元）and cells（细胞），two important things that help us remember.

    From the study, we know that when the brain is doing a lot of "neurogenesis", it moves away a lot of things we remember before. So we can't remember things at that time. When we were born, our brain worked very hard at "neurogenesis", our memories（记忆）from that time don't stay with us.

    Canadian scientists did some tests on the mouse-some of them young, and some of them older. They found that the young mouse doing neurogenesis had very few memories. For older ones, they found that memories could easily stay.

    Paul Frankland, a scientist, said, "We think our studies begin to answer why we have no memories from our earliest years. "But even if science can answer that question, there is till a long way to go before it shows us how to remember them.

    Are robots our friends or enemies（敌人） Sci-fi writers give us different to this question in their books. American writer Isaac Asimov  the book, I, Robot in 1950. In his story, robots are friendly.

    In the story, a mother buys a robot called Robbie her young daughter, Gloria. The girl soon  friends with the robot. But some people don't like robots. Gloria's mother has to take Robbie away. Gloria is very She cries and thinks of Robbie every day. Gloria's mother takes her to a robot factory to see Robbie.

    When Gloria sees Robbie, she runs to him. But she runs in the way of car. Robbie saves Gloria. Gloria's mother sees Robbie is good for Gloria, and the family takes Robbie to their home.

    Bad weather often stops us enjoying sports out of the room. But there are some funny sports for you and your family to play at home on bad-weather days. Foot volleyball is one of them. To play foot volleyball，you need a large open space，a string（绳子）and a big balloon. First，put away chairs, desks and other things in the living room to make a large open space. Then draw lines（边界）to make a 10-foot（英尺）playground. Tie each end of a string to a chair to cut the playground into two parts for two teams to play on each side. The string must be one foot above the floor.

    Different from the volleyball, foot volleyball asks every member to lie on the floor with their faces up to the ceiling（天花板）. They must stay like this in the whole game.

    One member begins by kicking the balloon into the air. The players try their best to kick the balloon over the string and to the other side. The other team kicks the balloon back. If one team makes the balloon touch the floor on its side, the other team gets one point. When one team gets 15 points, it becomes the winner.
