You might be wondering how these shows work. Well, they use a lot of drones with bright lights on them. First, someone programs a computer to tell the drones what to do. Then, that program goes to each drone. After that, people on the ground use the computer to make the drones move. When everything is ready, the show starts. All the drones fly up at the same time and move in the sky in a beautiful way.

The number of drones can make different effects. For example, some shapes need more drones than others. Simple shapes need fewer drones, and more complicated (复杂的) shapes need more. The number of the viewers (观众) and how far away they are also decide how many drones are needed so everyone can see the show well.

Even though these drone light shows are really cool, there are still ways to make them better. New tools and technology can help make the shows even more amazing. Also, the people who design the shows are trying to find new ways to make them even better.

In 1957, Yang and his colleague Li Zhengdao made history by winning the Nobel Prize in Physics. They received this prize for their groundbreaking work on the" parity non-conservation" theory (宇称不守恒)—a discovery that changed how scientists understand the basic laws of the universe. Beyond this, Yang's "Yang-Mills gauge Theory" (规范场论) is also considered as a cornerstone of modern physics, as important as Einstein's theory of relativity (爱因斯坦相对论).

Though he lived abroad for more than 20 years, Yang never forgot his motherland. In 1971, he became the first Chinese scholar to visit New China after a long period of separation, helping China's science development. He advised the Chinese government on how to make basic science research stronger and paid for nearly 100 Chinese students to study in the US. In 1999, he returned to work at Tsinghua University. He spent his later years training young scientists and improving the development of physics in China.

Yang's life was a mix of scientific curiosity (好奇) and deep love for his country. His famous motto (座右铭), "Be honest instead of clever," continues to encourage young people to pursue (追求) truth in science and life.

②Man vs. Horse Marathon (马拉松) takes place in a small town in Wales, about 200 miles from London. It's called a marathon but it's actually about 7km shorter than a usual marathon. People race against horses across the hills and mountains. It started in 1981, but humans did not beat horses until 2004.

③Caber toss (掷木桩) is an ancient Scottish sport. People compete by throwing a large piece of wood called a "caber" as far as they can. The caber has no official size or shape, but it is usually the size of a small tree.

④In China, people like to watch the dragon boat racing, and thousands of foreigners come to watch it. A dragon boat is a traditional Chinese boat with a painted dragon's head on one end. There can be up to 36 people in each boat, and they race on the water. Dragon boat racing is also popular in some other Asian countries.

⑤In Turkey, camel wrestling (骆驼摔跤) is a very old sport. The largest camel wrestling competition takes place in Ephesus every year and thousands of people come to watch. In the sport, two male camels wrestle each other. Sometimes the camels do not want to fight and they run through the crowds, which can be dangerous.

After class, students would always play on the playground. And outside the school gate, there was always a woman1 at them. The gatekeeper would always drive her away,2 she would always come back.

One day, some naughty children threw stones at the woman. She didn't get angry but giggled (傻笑). Suddenly, a little boy went to stop them. But soon, the children pushed the little boy rudely. Watching this, the woman became3, crying and shouting towards them. The children shouted, "Who is she to you?" The little boy clenched his fists (拳头), "She is my mom!" Then the school bell rang, and the children ran to the classroom, laughing.

From then on,4 other students said, the boy always kept silent. But he would never allow them to hurt his mom. The teacher learned about this, and quickly found the boy to learn about the situation.

It turned out that when the boy's elder sister was in kindergarten (幼儿园), a stranger pretending (假装) to be a relative (亲戚)5 the girl. They couldn't find her anywhere.6, the mother began to lose her mind. As a result, she couldn't even look after7. The only thing she remembered to do was to stay with the boy because she worried that he would8 like his sister. The boy's father left them, so he had to take care of his mom. Every day the mother came to school with her boy and waited outside the school gate, because in her world, the only happiness was to keep her eyes on her son. After hearing everything, the teacher's eyes got wet.

In the teachers' office, the teacher told everything to those naughty boys and said, "Please don't disturb (打扰) the mom's9 anymore. Every life has its own story and deserves our respect.10 of us has the same experience as her. Let's always choose kindness, because it can heal (治愈) wounds and light up the world."

Nowadays, more and more Chinese families have two children. Are you still the only child in your home? If not, do you getting on well with your little brother or sister? The following steps may help you.

—Find out what your little brother or sister does that makes you angry, then come up with a plan. Whatever you do, don't hurt them. Your younger brother or sister looks up to you, so set.

— with them. Say something like, "If you give me some space while my friends are here, we can play your favourite game after they leave."

—If your brother or sister asks you to play with them because they have nothing to do, try to advise a solo (单独的) project, drawing a picture for you, dancing to music and so on.

—When all these fail, get help from mom or dad. Just ask for a suggestion on how to get your brother or sister out.

Last summer, my family and I spent a wonderful week in Scotland.

Before we started, we were a little worried about the language. But when we arrived, we found the people there friendly. We started our trip in Edinburgh, the country's central city. We walked up a big hill to see the famous Edinburgh Castle. It is huge! We met a friendly Scot and he told us about its long history.

The next day, we drove to the famous lake—Loch Ness. We even took a boat trip. Dad laughed and pointed at the water, joking that we might see the "Loch Ness Monster (怪物)", just like everyone else came there for. But we just found a few ducks swimming lazily. That night, we went to a special show. People there played the bagpipes, a traditional Scottish instrument. It sounded loud and special. We also watched amazing Scottish dances. I tried wearing a kilt, a traditional Scottish skirt for men. What an experience! I never imagined myself wearing a skirt before!

The food was interesting too. I tried haggis, a traditional dish. My parents liked it, but I thought it was a little strange. I liked the shortbread cookies much better!

I was sad when the trip ended. Scotland is a beautiful place with friendly people. I will never forget this trip. I hope to go back one day!

Home is not just a house where we live. It is special and magical. We feel comfortable at home. We can feel love and warmth (温暖). We can be ourselves and say everything freely.

At home, we build our dreams (梦想). We can think about what we are going to be. Maybe we want to be a teacher or a doctor. We can study and learn at home. We can read books and draw pictures. We can talk to our family about our dreams. Home is where our dreams start.

At home, we learn to share, care, and listen. When we feel sad, we share our feelings with our family members. We also do this when we are happy about life. When someone in the family doesn't feel well, we learn to care. We bring him or her a glass of water. When our parents talk about their problems, we learn to listen carefully.

Home is also a place for growing. It's where we take our first steps and say our first words. It's where we have our first experiences and make our first memories (记忆). Home is where we find our interests. We are not afraid to try anything there.

As we grow older, home becomes a refuge (避难所) from the stress (压力) of the world. We always find peace there.

We all know the ozone layer (臭氧层) protects us from bad things in the hot sunlight. But not long ago, some scientists found something surprising: the recovery (恢复) of the ozone layer might also make the earth warmer. How can that be?

They found that as the ozone layer recovers, it will keep more heat around the earth. By 2050, it may cause 40% more heat per square metre than we think.

However, this doesn't mean we should stop protecting the ozone layer. But we now see that environmental problems are connected.

This discovery teaches us an important lesson: solving one problem may cause another. The key is to keep a balance.

A. Without it, life on earth would be in danger.

B. But we should do it in a more balanced way.

C. That's why we all try to protect it in many ways.

D. And its ability to do so may be stronger than CO₂.

E. Some scientists used maths and computers to study the air.

F. We need to be smarter and work together to keep our planet safe.

A little girl thought she was not as beautiful as other girls, and nobody liked her. So she was always unhappy. She always stayed by herself and hardly with anyone.

One day, her mother gave her a beautiful hair clip (夹子). When she wore it, she looked than before. She decided to go to school the nice hair clip.

On her way to school she found that most of her schoolmates were to her. They said hello to her, but they never did this before. She thought that it was because of the beautiful hair clip. She was so happy about all of the wonderful things.

Though all her classmates wanted to know what to her, she didn't want to tell them about her hair clip. When she went back home happily, her mother asked her, "Did you know you left your hair clip at home? I found it by the door this morning."

She was to hear that. She realized that she didn't wear the hair clip to school. So is not that important. We don't need to pay much attention to what we wear or how we look. thing is what we think of ourselves. If we want to do a thing successfully, try to be confident (自信的). If we think we can, we can.

Sometimes when the rain falls hard and fast on you, it might hurt (疼) a little. But what happens when it hits (撞击) a mosquito? A 2012 study said when a raindrop falls on a mosquito, it's like when a bus hits a person. What's more, the little insect is hit by a raindrop about once every 20 seconds. But why don't we see many dead mosquitoes after it rains?

A mosquito is as big as a raindrop, but it is much lighter—0.002 g only. This saves its life in raindrop attacks (袭击). Because the mosquito is so light, when it is hit by a raindrop, it won't experience a force (力量) that is strong enough to kill it.

The study also found that when a mosquito is hit by a raindrop, the insect is pushed by the raindrop and falls together with it. But the mosquito doesn't get wet easily because it is covered with hairs which keep off water. After dropping about 6 cm, it will roll off (滚离) the raindrop and fly away.

However, thistrick isn't always successful. If the mosquito flies too low (低) when it is hit by the raindrop, it won't have time to fly off. Then it will hit the ground and meet its death.

In the Eastern Han Dynasty (朝代), there was a man named Chen Fan. When he was young, he was very1. He spent most of his time reading books2 he dreamed of becoming a good-official.

One day, Xue Qin, a friend of Chen Fan's father, came to visit. When he went into Chen Fan's house, he saw that the yard and the rooms were3. Xue Qin was quite4 and asked Chen Fan, "Young man, why don't you clean up your house?"

Chen Fan answered, "A real man should5 cleaning up the world. Why should I worry about just one small house?"

Xue Qin looked at the young man and said6, "If you can't sweep one room, how can you sweep the world?"

Chen Fan was sorry and learned a7—great things usually start from small beginnings. If he couldn't do small things well, it would be8 for him to make his big dreams come true.

From that day on, Chen Fan started to9. He cleaned his house every day and kept his books in order. When he grew up, he10 held the attitude (态度). Finally, he became a famous and respected official, making a great difference to his country.
