Here are some things you may want to think about when designing your stadium.

The first step of the invention process is to "think it". This includes finding a problem you would like to solve, or imagining something you plan to create., "What problem does it solve? What sports or events will take place in your stadium? Where will it be located? How will your idea be new and different?"

The next step is to "explore it". You ask: "How have inventors created solutions in the past?" and then carry out research to learn more about the problem they would like to solve, or the idea they would like to create. This is done to understand solutions that may already exist..

Inventors use drawing as a way to organize their ideas. . You can draw your ideas with paper and pencil or use any means of expression that is comfortable for you. Remember! Inventors seldom get it right on the first try.

Build a model which will show the size, shape and form of your stadium. Now that you have created your 3 D model, take some time to think about how your stadium looks and how it would work for an event.

Now it's time to think about how it would work, and share your idea with others. Ask yourself, "What changes can I make to improve my stadium?" Sharing an idea also happens when you present your idea to others after you have made your final changes.

Inventors typically don't succeed with an invention on the first try. Usually, inventors change their ideas many times before they are finished to make them work better., once changes are made. It can take many tries to make your ideas work or look the way you imagined they would.
 

A. To get started you can ask yourself

B. Inventors test their inventions again

C. Now it is time to see their idea turn into something real

D. Once you have created your design, move on to the next step

E. It allows inventors to imagine what their invention might look like and how it will work

F. They learn from what others have tried and make sure that their solutions are new or different

You already know why cicadas (蝉) are so unbelievably noisy: males produce the sound to attract females. But do you know some of them appear above ground only every 17 years?

There are more than 3, 000 kinds of cicadas, which fall into two types: annual cicadas, which emerge (出现) every year, and periodical (周期) cicadas, which spend most of their lives underground and only emerge once every few years. The 17-year cicada is one of the periodical cicadas with the longest known insect life cycle. Every 17 years, like clockwork, they appear. Shortly after hatching (孵化) from its egg, a 17-year-old cicada nymph (若虫) digs down into the ground, where it spends—as its name suggests—the first 17 years of its life. When it comes out from the ground, it lives only four to six more weeks—just long enough to lay eggs, and the cycle starts all over again.

Periodical cicadas don't spend their years sleeping underground. Instead, they are active in their wingless nymph forms, digging tunnels (隧道).

Though not proven, many scientists believe that periodical cicadas have a molecular clock (分子钟) inside their bodies that notes the passing of years through environmental signs. As trees go through their seasonal cycles, the sap (汁) of their roots (根) changes. And when cicada nymphs feed on this sap, they are likely to pick up signs of the passing of time. The 17th trees' seasonal cycle gives the nymphs their final sign: it's time to emerge.

When the cicada nymphs come out from their underground homes depends on temperature. After their 17 years are up, the cicadas wait for the perfect temperature before making the Journey to the surface—when the soil about 8 inches (20 cm) underground reaches 64°F, or 18℃. This means that cicadas will appear at different times in different parts of the world: the soil in one place may reach the ideal temperature before the soil in another. But once that temperature is reached, all the cicadas in the area will feel it and make the journey to the surface together.

When they emerge, the cicadas aren't yet in their adult form. They're still nymphs, and they remain so until they molt (蜕皮) for the final time. Once their fresh exoskeletons (外骨骼) have hardened, they take to the trees with their new-found wings, and the males begin their loud mating calls in order to attract females. Then females lay eggs in dry branches. After that, both males and females die.

And now we're back where we started . Newborn cicada nymphs fall or move down from the trees and go into the ground, not to be seen for another 17 years.

Su Bingtian made history becoming the first Chinese male sprinter (短跑运动员) to reach the Olympic 100 m final in 2021. Not only that, he also set a new record with a time of 9. 83 seconds during the semi-finals of the event. This achievement showed his talent and speed on the world stage. Few runners in the world can even come close. Why some people can run very fast while others run more slowly? Genes (基因) play a role, but so do your choices and experiences.

One mayor factor (因素) that influences your ability to run fast is how you are built, including how your muscles (肌肉) work. The human body has more than 600 muscles that work together. These muscles are made up of groups of fibers (纤维). There are two main types. One is mainly fast twitch (快缩肌), used for sprinting and similar sports. The other is mostly slow twitch, used for jogging and some types of sports at low speeds.

Fast-twitch muscle fibers are larger. They help your body move quickly and produce serious force. Short﹣distance runners usually have plenty of fast﹣twitch muscle fibers. However, this muscle fiber type also tares quickly, so you can only run a short distance at the top speed.

Slow-twitch muscle fibers are smaller and help you run at lower speeds, but with greater endurance. Long-distance runners usually have a lot of these muscles.

How much you have of each type of muscle fibers mostly depends on your genes. But exercise can help train those muscles.

Physical ability isn't just about muscle. Your brain plays an important role, too. Your muscles are controlled by your brain. You can teach your body to use the best running techniques. That includes proper posture (姿势), so your body is standing tall. That also includes a proper step forward, so your feet land below you instead of landing too far in front, which can slow you down. Using proper running techniques helps the muscles create more force and work together, which helps you run faster.

Later she became a teacher in a special school where some students had the same problem as Wang. It was such a hard job that she was at a loss and thought about giving up at the beginning, but she didn't as she thought of Wang's pain on the face.

Later, unluckily, Liu's own 7-month-old son was also found to have the same problem, which shocked but never frightened Liu. Instead of getting her child treated in hospital, she decided to provide treatment for her son by herself after work. Since then, Liu could better understand the families with children like her son and put more efforts to help them live better in society. She started speaking rebuilding training by self-teaching. Thanks to Liu's tireless efforts, her son and her students showed great improvement and some of them became successful later.

Deng Liang, one of Liu's first students, works now for a State-owned enterprise (企业) in Changsha. "Ms Liu taught me to be kind, optimistic (乐观的) and hard-working to build a better life, which has pushed me forward all these years," he said.

Liu Hanxiang, a famous dancer now, texted Liu Lungli a message thanking her for her efforts. " Ms Liu, my performance today was a great success. I want to thank you. Without you, I would not have become who I am today." Liu Lingli burst into tears when she read the message.

For her contributions (贡献) to society, Liu Lingli received the award of Person Touching China for 2023. Liu said, "There is still a lot to do to ensure disabled people can find suitable jobs. The media also needs to tell more stories of people with disability who have built successful careers so as to encourage children with disability to improve their lives through learning."

[1] Citywalk is becoming a new travel fashion for the youth in China who are exploring cultural spots (景点). Unlike traditional travel, it aims to avoid famous tourist spots and large crowds to get a better experience.

[2] Many young people enjoy gathering a couple of good friends and hanging out in the streets when they visit a new city. They can follow a typical city route (路线), exploring old buildings, going window-shopping, drinking a cup of coffee, or enjoying local snacks.

[3] In order to show their Citywalk, more and more people prefer to share their experiences and thoughts through social media (媒体). Xiao Yiyi, a young guide in Changsha, recently shared six Citywalk routes of different cities on the Internet, providing experiences for visitors to "walk in open-air museums". Her Changsha travel route includes more unusual sights such as historical buildings, old streets, and even some snack bars.

[4] Citywalk is spreading from the largest cities to smaller ones, encouraging more travelers and event organizers to join. Some places, such as Beijing and Shandong, have included Citywalk in their plans to develop cultural tourism and relaxing tours. Shanghai has set up Citywalk bus routes to help day-trippers reach more faraway areas first, and then continue on foot.

[5] Citywalk not only offers a way for young people to explore a city but also provides them with a new social situation, where they can share their interests and ideas and make friends easily. What's more, Citywalk provides an opportunity for tour guides and travel companies to offer a more professional service to meet the ever-changing market requirements.

Hi Alice,

How are you? I want to tell you about my trip to the city space museum two days ago. I have never been there before, so I was (excite)! I was taking care of my little sister and she was bored so I said, "We are going on an (usual) experience!"

When we arrived, we started to explore (探索). The space museum is very large and full of interesting and exciting objects (touch). The first room you enter looks like deep space. There is information about different planets with a quiz (知识竞赛) at the end. The (win) has a chance to invent a name for a planet—that's exciting, isn't it? The (two) room looks like the inside of a spaceship. You can touch an astronaut's spacesuit (宇航服). It looks really heavy! I don't know how an astronaut can wear it. It looks a little old. I don't know when it (make), either. And you can see where the astronauts prepare their food. Did you know they use a knife, fork and spoon to eat? I didn't. I thought it was all in bags.

We were looking at the oven from the spaceship when my sister (tell) me she was hungry. So we went to have a snack. They were preparing a pizza (比萨饼) in the restaurant and the smell of food always makes me hungry so we had a piece of pizza! It was delicious. While we (eat) a pizza, they were baking (烘焙) biscuits, so we ate some. Don't worry! We have bought some (介词) you—you will love them! They look like rockets and taste like honey!

After lunch, we explored more of the museum (连词) stayed for the rest of the day. They were turning off the lights when we left!

Have you ever been to a museum? See you soon!

"Ouch! That hurt!" cried Han Mei. Her teacher Miss Gao called 120 right away.

Han Mei had to stay in hospital for a week. In the ward (病房), she met Wang Hong, who broke her arm in a car accident. They talked for long hours. They left hospital on the same day.

The doctor told Han Mei that she had to stay at home for a month so that her leg could get well again. Han Mei could not go to school. She was upset. Wang Hong went to visit her. She told Han Mei interesting stories to cheer her up. They played chess and watched cartoons together.

When Han Mei could walk again, she joined some interest clubs with Wang Hong.

They visited many places together too. Since then, Wang Hong has been Han Mei's best friend.

"This accident caused me a lot of pain, but luckily, I got a best friend," thought Han Mei.

Finding new artifacts (文物)

Xu Danyang, a 29-year-old archaeologist (考古学家), found an amazing bronze statue (青铜像) at the Sanxingdui site in Sichuan. In 2021, he dug out this statue. In the beginning, his team thought it was a bird. But as they continued the digging, they had a surprise. It turned out (结果是) to be a statue of a man, about 16cm high. It shows a man kneeling with his head turned, and it surprises everyone who sees it.

Making maps for protection

Wu Yunjie who was born in the 1990s found a new way—by making a special map to show the best cultural sites in China. Wu is now famous on the Internet. He marked almost 10,000 places like old temples, towers, bridges and houses. Each site with colorful marks showed how special and important they are. As a kid, Wu loved going to a temple in his hometown in Ezhou, Hubei. However, it was pulled down years ago. He was sad and decided to record all the cultural sites in China.

He started to travel across the country. He visits places in person and adds them to his map, making sure we all remember them. Now, Wu asks for help from people online to make his map better and better. And he hopes to share this amazing map with everyone who respects (尊重) history and culture soon.

Making explanations (解释) fun

Zhang Bin is a 31-year-old tour guide at Emperor Qinshihuang's Mausoleum Site Museum in Xi'an, Shaanxi. He works to answer visitors' questions about the famous Terracotta Warriors and shares all of his knowledge about them. Zhang often uses the traditional Chinese performance art of xiangsheng to explain them. He is doing something meaningful for the site.

This is the world's first try to bring samples (样本) from the moon's far side. For China, it's the second sample-return moon journey. Chang'e 5 successfully brought samples from the moon in the winter of 2020. Up to now, 10 moon sample-return tasks have been carried out by the United States, the former Soviet Union (前苏联) and China, but all these samples were collected from the moon's near side.

The moon's far side has always been a subject of scientific wonder because of its many mysteries. It's facing away from Earth and it can never be seen from Earth. It was once called the "dark side of the moon" even though it receives just as much sunlight as the near side.

Chinese researchers have found that the soil on the far side is much thicker than that on the near side, but they haven't found out the reason. Samples brought back by Chang'e 5 have helped scientists find that there were volcanic (火山的) activities on the near side around 2 billion years ago. Some scientists thought maybe volcanoes became inactive on the far side about 4 billion years ago. Is it true? Samples from the far side will allow them to know the answer.

"Comparing the make-up of the far side samples from Chang'e 6 with those collected from the near side will be of great scientific value to the international community," said Martin Sweeting, a famous professor of space engineering.

One day when he was leaving his apartment, Mr. Black saw that his rubbish was gone. In its place, he found a note from David. "Good morning, Mr. Black. I saw your rubbish here, and since I was on my way out, I picked it up for you. I wanted to save you a trip. Have a nice day, David." However, Mr. Black decided to ignore this act of kindness. He began thinking about the terrible traffic he would surely have to deal with on his way to work.

But as time went on, Mr. Black started to feel a little silly. No matter how impolite he was, the couple always smiled at him and politely said hello. It became harder and harder for him not to simply say hello back.

After a few weeks, Mr. Black was always happy to see the couple in the hall. They even started calling him Adam. Later on, they invited Mr. Black into their apartment for a cup of coffee. Mr. Black was very glad that they treated him nicely. He was so upset about it that he had been impolite to everyone he knew. He realized that he should try to do the same with the people he met.

One of the most popular plastics used in making bottles is called PET. This can be recycled. Plastics3 PET need to be labeled so they can be collected easily for recycling. In America, PET is recycled and used to make4 things, such as flowerpots and milk crates. In Germany some bottles are made from a type of plastic which breaks down in strong5 or when buried.6 this is expensive and the bottles might break while they are being need.

Nearly all the things you buy from the supermarket are wrapped in something.7 fruit and vegetables are wrapped in plastic or in plastic bags. When we use these things, we usually8 the packaging. Packaging keeps food9. It protects the food and also gives us information about the product. But is it all necessary? If you add up all the packaging, it comes to a lot.

Try not to buy things that use a lot of plastic. You'd better10 your old plastic containers for keeping things.

An3 time for me was two summers ago when I went to Hangzhou. I joined a program where I became an English teacher for primary school kids. This4 let me learn more about the Chinese language and traditions. Our classroom was like a melting pot (熔炉) of ideas, with lots of language sharing and laughter.

My travels and5 experience in Hangzhou completely changed how I see the world. It made me6 the close relationship of different countries, and now I want to be a global citizen (世界公民). I want to help people from different countries understand each other,7 between China and the US.

In China, we see a lot of8 of American culture, such as Disney cartoon characters, McDonald's and Coca-Cola. However, I couldn't find many signs of Chinese culture in the US, except for Chinese9. I went to some but found the food there very different from real Chinese food. I think China still has much to do to further promote (推动) its cultural influence among the American people. As for me, I will10 to be one of those who can help deepen the understanding between China and the US.

A Fun and Educational Farm Trip

Australia is an English-speaking country. Its capital is Canberra and three of its  (big) cities are Sydney, Melbourne and Brisbane. Australia is the  (six) largest country in the world, but only about 26. 8 million people live there. Much of the land  (cover) by desert, so about eighty percent of the people live on the coast. The climate is better there. But some people live in unusual places. One of them is  small town called Coober Pedy. 

Coober Pedy is in the South Australian desert. On summer days, it can be as hot  52℃! For this reason, more than half people live under the ground. The temperature is always  (surprising) comfortable there. Underground homes have kitchens, bathrooms, bedrooms and living rooms. Everyday life in Coober Pedy is not very different from any other town. People go to work or school, do chores, watch TV and spend time with  (they)friends and family. 

Coober Pedy has lots of  (visitor) every year. People come to stay in the underground hotels. There are also underground shops, cafés  museums. On summer nights, when it isn't too hot, people can go above the ground and play golf（高尔夫球运动）. It's not easy  (lose) golf balls because they can glow（发出暗淡的光）in the dark!

Education is one of the things in life that is different because of the Internet. Many people now are doing  （课程）online. For some it is a  （选择）, but for others the Internet has given them the chance to study. For  （例子）, working mums or new mums have very busy lives and don't have time to study in the  （传统）way. With online learning, they can study as quickly or as  （缓慢）as they want. In this way, they can study at home when they have time. 

Other people have a different problem: They don't live in a city that has a college or a university. Maybe they are far away in the  （乡下）or on an island. For them, using the Internet is a way to  （连接）to the world and to learn online. They can do their homework on the beach, in a  （森林）or on a mountain, and then send their teacher an  （电子邮件）to hand it in. 

These people have something in  （共同）：They can't go to school. Without online learning, they would never get the education they need or want. It means they have the chance to give it everything they' ve got!

Do you want to work in a zoo? Then you must love animals and you mustn't be afraid of  . My job is to look after the meerkats（灰沼狸）. It's very  but also tiring! I have to prepare their food, keep them clean,  they' re healthy and write a report every day. Last week, three meerkats  sick and I had to look after them. I couldn't go home for three  ! My job isn't easy, but I love it. 

When Liz finished university in California, she wasn't sure about her future. Then one day she met one of her teachers 1 he offered to lend her his yacht（帆船）as long as she wanted it. 

Over the next three years, Liz 2 to sail（航行）and in October 2005, she 3 on her journey. It was 4 for Liz to leave behind her friends and family, but over ten years and more than 25, 000 miles later, she' s still5 . She' s been to so many great places.6 them, she has stopped off in Mexico, Costa Rica, Panama and the Galapagos Islands. 

During the day, Liz sails, cooks and keeps the yacht in good 7 . When she stops somewhere, she surfs（冲浪）, does yoga and 8 videos on the Internet. Advertisements on Liz's videos have been paying for her 9 , so she doesn't need to worry about meals. And from her photos it looks like she's been having a(n)10 time. There are beautiful beaches, and there's clear water and perfect surf. 

But life on the11 can also be difficult. "It feels so great to 12 others to live their dreams, " says Liz, "but it's impossible to explain to 13 what this life is really like; I' ve worked hard and it hasn't always been easy or fun. "
