Last year, a research team from the Lanzhou Institute of Chemical Physics at the Chinese Academy of Sciences invented hydrogel (水凝胶), a new material for 3D printing. As the "ink" for printing, hydrogel has helped the research team create 3D printed organs (器官), including the brain and heart. People found it hard to print the complex structures inside human organs before. It's also hard to control the organs' hardness (硬度). Luckily, this team has managed to make meaningful progress in these two aspects.      ▲     . A doctor who tried these models said that he wouldn't know they were not real if he was not told.

On the other hand, the research team had another problem to solve. Human organs have different textures (质地). For example, our brains are the softest. The team added special material to the hydrogel to create different textures for each organ. They also printed tiny holes and channels (通道) inside the organs. This will help medical students learn better. Compared to human organs and animal organs, 3D printed organs are also cheaper and more acceptable for medical students.

Apart from doing research, scientists are also working on 3D printed organs used in organ transplants (移植). Hydrogel cannot be used because the human body will fight against it. But scientists are looking for other materials that can grow inside the human body. Currently, a bladder (膀胱) has been successfully transplanted using 3D printing because it's one of the simplest organs. Experts expect that this technology will help more patients within a few years, according to CNN.

These days, electric cars are becoming more popular than gas-powered cars (燃油车). But according to a Research Center, more than half of the U.S. adults don't want to stop using gas-powered cars. They say electric cars are expensive and charging (充电) them is a problem. We asked some younger people about their ideas.

Electric cars are better for the environment. Some people think electric cars are expensive. But their prices are coming down. Anyway, I think we're going to run out of gas at some point. This will make electric cars a necessity (必需品). Finally, many electric cars are smaller and easier to park.

—Henry, 17

I don't think all cars should be electric. First of all, charging stations are less common than gas stations. This makes electric cars a lot less convenient for long trips. Electric cars are also more expensive than gas-powered cars.

—George, 18

I think we should all have electric cars. This is good for the environment and allows us to breathe better. Cleaner air also means there will be fewer animals dying. Some electric cars are more expensive. But they need less maintenance (维护) than gas-powered cars.

—Cathy, 18

The Bai people use a very old way, tie-dry (扎染), to dye clothes. Tie-dye has a history of nearly 1500 years. During the Tang and Song dynasties, people chose tie-dyed clothes as gifts.

The Mongolian people live in the Mongolian yurts (蒙古包). These yurts are large round tents and their tops look like umbrellas. They are the traditional homes of the Mongolian people. The yurts are usually white because they're made of sheep's wool. And white is a symbol of happiness.

The Zhuang people like singing even more than talking. On the third day of the third Chinese lunar (阴历) month, they hold a big singing festival. It is thrilling and wonderful. Men and women singers sing in pairs. The winners are the "king" and "queen" of singing.

The Miao people have a special festival, Manghao Festival. It's in the first Chinese lunar month every year. The Miao people regard Manghao as a hero who helped to protect their homes. At the festival, young men dress up as Manghao and touch others to send good wishes.
