1、Life has its ups and downs and people sometimes feel anxious (焦虑的). If the feelings of anxiety become too strong, they can make you unwell. Usually, we might see a doctor or take some medicine to feel better. But it would be helpful to have something to use at home that does not involve (涉及) medicine. So, we made a robotic cushion (抱枕) to help manage anxiety.

Our team was made up of scientists from several fields. We built a few different robotic cushions, and each one offered a different calming experience, like the feeling of breathing, a heartbeat, and one of them even had colourful lights inside. We asked people to try them out and tell us which they liked the best. Most people liked the cushion that felt like it was breathing. So, we decided to work more on that one.

For our final cushion, we made it bigger so it was easier to hug. We made a robotic part that could push air in and out of a balloon inside the cushion, to control the "breathing". We did this because slow breathing helps people feel calmer.

Now, we wanted to see if our cushion really could help with anxiety, so we did a test. The test had to do three things: make people feel anxious, check their anxiety levels, and compare the effect of the cushion to something else.

We made people feel anxious by having them do some difficult math problems in front of others. Afterwards, we asked them to score their anxiety levels from one to ten. To see how well the cushion worked, we put people into three groups. Group A used the breathing cushion, Group B tried meditating (冥想), and Group C just sat quietly without anything to help with their anxiety. After 10 minutes, we asked them to score their anxiety levels again.

We found that people who hugged the breathing cushion had much less anxiety than those who just sat quietly. And we saw that meditation also helped people reduce their anxiety.

Meditation can be difficult because it needs attention and practice, but hugging a cushion is easy! And, you could hug the cushion while doing other things. By doing more research like this, we can find ways to help people who need different ways to feel better. What do you think? Would you like to have a breathing cushion to hug when you're worried?

2、The Blazers and the Engineers had played two close games this season. Each team won one game. Now, the final game was for the championship.

There were only seven seconds left in the game. Mason's team, the Blazers, was winning 31-29.

Mason was guarding Edwin, the best player on the Engineers team. The crowd shouted: "4...3.…2…"

Edwin stopped, jumped, and shot the ball before the buzzer (终场哨) sounded. The ball went in!

The score was now 31-31.

"We will play overtime," said Mason's teammate Joel. Mason felt bad because he failed to stop Edwin. Edwin smiled at him, making Mason feel even worse.

In overtime, both teams were nervous and made mistakes. Edwin scored twice. Now the Engineers were ahead by 4 points. But then Joel made a great three-point shot with 28 seconds left!

Then Mason had his big moment. With 11 seconds left, he guessed where Edwin would move.

He stole an important pass.

Mason ran fast toward the basket, but two defenders (防守球员) came to stop him. He thought about taking the final shot himself—a chance to be a hero. But then he saw Joel, who was standing alone near the basket.

Mason passed the ball to Joel.

Joel caught the ball,turned,and scored just as the buzzer sounded.

The Blazers won!

Mason and Joel gave each other a high-five."Great pass!" Joel said.

From that day, Mason learned something important:real winning is more than just the score.

I am looking through the articles of the school magazine, thinking about what to1 to match the topics. A story about a boy growing out of loneliness pulls me back to the past.

As a kid, I couldn't help feeling2 in crowds as if they were all eyeing me. Most of the time, I would find a quiet corner, drawing anything that came to my mind, all alone and unnoticed.

As my junior high started, I decided to make a3. I brought myself to talk with others but ended up either acting silly or saying things upsetting them. As a result, I closed the door to connecting with anyone at school and kept to myself. I spent hours and hours in drawing to4 my loneliness.

Life went on like this until one day, my art teacher told me that one of my drawings was chosen for the School Art Exhibition. I was surprised but meanwhile a secret feeling of5 rose from the bottom of my heart. Somehow, I really wished my drawing would be liked, by at least one person. To my surprise, visitors crowded around my drawing6 at its colors, its design, its creativity and... its everything.

The next day, I was greeted by many people with warm smiles. In the classes later on, I started to get engaged. Last week, my math teacher asked a question. I raised my hand and explained confidently. When I heard claps from every corner of the classroom, I7, to others and to myself.

Now, I am an illustrator (插画师) of my school magazine and have won a few prizes. I've made some close friends. And I am no longer a loner but an outgoing and confident girl. And all these changes seem to grow from the8 days.

17、Interesting festivals in the world

Throwing tomatoes--Spain( 西班牙) Spain takes "tomatoes fights" to a whole new level. But the tomatoes are being thrown， not eaten. The festival takes place during the last Wednesday in August. Trucks (卡车) carry tomatoes into the square. People rush to the tomatoes and throw them into the crowd.

Rolling cheese-England This festival is celebrated on the last Monday in May. It takes place on Cooper's Hill. A large wheel of cheese (奶酪) is roiled down Cooper's Hill. The festival is actually a race where people run down the hill after the rolling cheese. The first person to cross the finish line at the bottom of the hill wins the cheese.

Burning man--The United States The Burning Man 'Festival lasts a week， it is from the Monday before Labor Day to Labor Day(which falls on the first Monday in September in America). The festival takes place in the Black Rock Desert. The best part of the festival is the burning of a large sculpture of a man.

Pouring water--Thailand The Songkran Festival is the celebration of the New Year in Thailand. Rather than a single day， Thailand celebrates the New Year from April 13th to April 15th.

18、The Silk Route Bike Tour: is it the greatest trip in the world? Cyclists (骑行者) call it "the longest, hardest, highest, hottest, coldest bicycle tour in the world". In eighteen weeks you travel over 12,000 kilometers through seven different countries and have the most exciting ride of your life.

"A thousand years ago people went by camel (骆驼) and did about twenty-five kilometers a day," said one cyclist, "But on a bike you do twenty-five kilometers in an hour." And along the way you see some of the most beautiful places in the world.

From Shanghai, you go across Asia, through Iran and arrive in Istanbul, Turkey, at the end. You travel across the deserts (沙漠) of China and cycle the Pamir Highway to over 4,600 meters across the "Roof (屋顶) of the World" in the mountains Tajikistan.

On the way there are villages, markets and ancient (古老的) buildings. At night, you stay in ancient roadside hotels or in camps. A cook cooks dinner for about half of the 133 days, on other days cyclists can eat in restaurants or shops in markets for their food. One cyclist said, "The best thing was the friendliness of the people. And the worst things? The snow and the cold in the Pamirs."

So is it the greatest trip in the world? Cyclist Miles MacDonald thinks so. "The Silk Route is a true expedition (探险). It is long and difficult, but it's an exciting experience, when you arrive in Istanbul, you are a completely changed person."

19、Zhu Yanjun is a special worker. He was born in Jingning, Gansu. Like many other people, he works in different cities. But what made him different was his strong love for reading poetry and books.

In early February, Zhu won the second prize in the yearly Chinese Poetry Competition (中国诗词大会) hosted by CCTV.

Zhu only had a middle school education. His love for reading was encouraged by his Chinese teacher who has published (发表) many articles in magazines. "I also wanted to publish stories, so I started to read, and borrowed books from my friends and classmates," he told China Daily.

Although Zhu later regretted putting an early end to his schooling, he did not stop his poetry journey. He worked at different construction sites (建筑工地) in more than 10 cities. Whenever he arrived in a city, he first visited the bookstores and libraries there. He started reading poems from the Tang Dynasty and poems written by Chairman Mao Zedong because he found them effortless to remember. Over the years, he has read thousands of poems and he can recite (背诵) them.

Reading poetry helps Zhu stay calm and he solves his problems actively. "Whenever I face any difficulty, I think of Chairman Mao's words, ‘Nothing in the world is difficult for one who sets his mind to it'," he told China Daily.

Under Zhu's influence, his children became interested in poetry and went to university in different cities. "I hope I can help people around me feel the beauty of Chinese poetry," Zhu said.
