Nikola Tesla was one of the world's greatest inventors. He made more than 300 inventions, including wireless power, radio, X-rays, remote control, and electric motors. He had amazing ideas that changed the world.

When he was in high school, he began to love science. He saw his physics teacher do experiments with electricity. This looked like magic to Tesla, and he wanted to learn everything he could about it.

One of Tesla's special abilities was his memory. He could remember everything he saw, like books and pictures. After high school, he went to the Technical University of Graz, where he studied math, physics, and philosophy. He was an excellent student. He worked so hard that his teachers worried about his health.

Tesla's first job was in Budapest, where he worked as an electrical engineer. He was very good at his job and helped improve the telephone company. In 1882, he moved to Paris and worked for the Continental Edison Company. After that, he moved to the United States to work for Thomas Edison.

Tesla worked very hard all his life. He once worked for 84 hours without sleeping. He spoke 8 languages and always wanted to make the world better. Tesla did not care about money. He only cared about science. He believed we should always try our best to create a good future for everyone.

Interestingly, one of the most famous electric car companies is named Tesla. It was inspired by Nikola Tesla's work. The car company wants to honor the inventor and continue his ideas by changing the electric vehicle industry.

I saw the quote every day while walking home from school. One day I decided to write one of my favourite quotes on the fence for someone else to see. When I came back to the fence, I saw another quote under mine. I added another, and we kept at this pattern for quite a while.

A few days later, I was writing another quote on the fence. And the old man, one of my neighbours, who owned the fence, saw me. He came out and I was afraid he would be angry with me for writing on his fence. He was not known to be a very friendly person. He looked at me angrily and then read the quotes on the fence. Without saying a word, he went back inside. I was terrified for a while, but when I went back to the fence. I noticed two words had been added: "Thank you".

Later, I saw the old man in his front yard. He called me over and told me that he was glad to see that young people still had values. We are now good friends. I still don't know who wrote that very first quote, but I'd like to say thank you to that unknown hero.

What happened to personal information online?

Many free apps get paid by businesses who want to know about the users of the apps. What a business wants is the exact information about customers. Data brokers collect your data—everything from your name, location and education level to the topics you search for, the websites you visit and the people you follow. And then, sell them to businesses.

________?

The data is valuable. Businesses can use the information from data brokers to target their ads. It means they will show their ads to the people who are most likely to be interested in their products or services.

What can we do about it?

Many countries have made laws to protect personal information. For example, a law in the United States says businesses must get parents' permission (许可) to collect personal data from kids under 13. China's law on personal information protection came into effect (生效) on November 1st, 2021. At the same time, we should try to protect our data. If an app asks for something like your location, consider saying "No" first. In short, information about you is very valuable. Try to protect it.

Long before Wikipedia and Encyclopaedia Britannica, there was Historia Naturalis. Its writer was Pliny the Elder. Pliny worked hard and read a lot. His helper read to him while he was having meals and while he was bathing. His helper even carried him around Rome in a chair while he was reading. He thought walking was a waste of time.

It was thought to be the oldest encyclopaedia in history. Historia Naturalis covered almost everything, from mice to Mars. "No Roman writer has completed such a project," Pliny said proudly. Unluckily, two years after the encyclopaedia appeared, Pliny died.

The world always changes, and accidents can hardly be stopped. Editors of encyclopaedias like Pliny collect and write down the knowledge of our world. I think an encyclopaedia is not only a record of what its editors know, but also a record of what they don't know.

Pliny was wrong when he said there were seven planets, including the Sun and the Moon. After all, Historia Naturalis was a book thousands of years ago. Those were all Pliny knew at that time.

Similarly, both Wikipedia and Encyclopaedia Britannica have some wrong information.

Roger Lewinter, an American researcher, thinks encyclopaedias can't record all human knowledge, but just some of it. They can never be completed. They are always waiting for someone—perhaps you—to improve them.

A. Historia Naturalis came out in 77 AD.

B. Pliny took notes carefully all the time.

C. Luckily, these things can be written down.

D. Even the best encyclopaedias only show what their editors know.

E. He was also wrong when he said Africans were black because of the Sun.
