During the National Day holiday, the sky above Shenzhen was lit up by impressive drone(无 人机) light shows. This"cyber fireworks" lit up the night, painting a lively picture of Shenzhen asa"City of Miracles, City of Innovation, City of Future". A total of 10,197DAMODA drones took to the sky at the same time, setting two Guinness World Records. So how does the drone light show work?
Before a drone light show begins, drones are usually put on the ground one by one and it would take a lot of time to prepare a show with more than ten thousand drones. To shorten the time, the DAMODA drone company thought of a solution. The company put groups of drones into big boxes with specific OR codes on it. By putting the boxes into correct places, thousands of drones can be ready in a short time and they can go back to their"homes" by scanning the OR codes.
In drone shows, each drone is programmed by a computer to follow its own flight direction, carefully avoiding the other drones. They communicate with neighbouring drones and use sensors(传感器) to keep a certain distance. The position and LED colours change throughout the performance to show different objects in the night sky.
Drone light shows are thought to be more environmentally friendly - - - and certainly cause less noise and light pollution - - - than fireworks shows, so lots of big events are turning to them instead of fireworks. Drones can also be reused again and again so they will probably be more popular in the future.

D、Travel.3. 阅读下列短文,从下面每小题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中,选出最佳选项。Every morning at 5 a. m., workers of Disney World Resort prepare to deliver food to the pickiest (最挑剔的) eaters: thousands of animals that live there. "We make meals tor creatures from big cats to sharks." animal nutrition assistant(营养助手) Cori Coleman says. So how do Coleman and her coworkers at the animal restaurant feed hundreds of animals every day? Nat Geo Kids takes you behind the scenes of the wildest"restaurant" ever.
Most animals aren't"ordering" the same dish. Their food is based on what they need to stay healthy. Nutritionists use a digital program to prepare catch animal' s daily diet. "Some animals are growing, and others need to lose weight," Coleman says. "It's not as simple as giving every animal the same meal."
After the diet is decided, the"chefs" deal with items that need to be broken down, like large pieces of fruit. Then they weigh the food to make sure each animal is getting the right amount of food. Finally, they put the meals into boxes so the food can be transported to the animals across the park.
Keepers watch the animals to record what they like and what they don't. "Our bats love most fruit," keeper Erica Hoffstadt says. "But they can't stand strawberries!". Notes like these are shared with the nutritionists so they can displace food for picky eaters.

Some people may be afraid of making others upset if they share their feelings. However, hiding your own feelings can lead to anxiety, depression and even unhealthiness. Here are some tips for you to express your feelings.
Accept your feelings.
Before you can do anything else, you have to realize that you are going to have feelings and there is nothing wrong with that. Instead, tell yourself, "I am feeling this way, and that is acceptable."
Get in the habit of putting your emotions down on paper or in your phone. Try to set aside 20 minutes per day to your diary. Don't worry about grammar and just write quickly to block out any unnecessary thoughts.
Communicate to others clearly.
Choose a trusted group of loved ones to share your feelings with. As you are talking, be as clear as possible by using your vocabulary of feelings.
Take a short break.
Sometimes, feelings become too difficult to deal with. This doesn't mean paying no attention to them, but only that you need a rest to sort them out when you' re ready.
A. Record your thoughts.
B. Understand your feelings.
C. When you feel something, do not be angry with yourself.
D. In this situation, all that you need is just a break from them.
E. It can also cause problems with your personal relationships.
F. For example, clearly describe a situation and how it made you feel.
