This tree was a scion (幼枝) of the apple tree which was said to give Newton the idea to develop the theory of gravity (万有引力). It was planted at Cambridge University Botanic Garden in 1954. And the tree caught a lot of visitors' attention. Unluckily, the tree was blown down during a storm in February 2022.

After it fell, the university waited for good ideas on what to do with the wood. A year later, Nabil Ali made ink from the tree. Ali said, "I thought I would find black ink but the ink is dark golden yellow. I'm calling the color ‘Newton's Gold'."

Ali used the ink to create an artwork with 68 apples to show the age of the tree before it fell. "As far as I know, this is the first time that anyone has used the hidden colors of a scion of Newton's inspiring (启发灵感的) tree to make art," Ali said. The artwork, called The Tree That Once Was, was on show for the first time at Apple Day at Cambridge University Botanic Garden on October 22, 2023. A lot of people went to see it.

From a fallen tree to a special artwork, the journey of this tree shows the power of creativity. Through the show, Ali hopes that his artwork will encourage people to find out more about their own talents.

Later that day, Tom asked friends, classmates, and other math teachers. Was it 64 or 512? One of the math teachers they asked was Mr Smith, our math teacher last year. He said it was 512. Then the fun began.

The next day, in Mr Green's class, Tom told him Mr Smith's answer. Mr Green didn't change his mind. As soon as the class was over, Tom went to Mr Smith's office.

A few minutes later, Tom returned with Mr Smith and four students from another class. And the classroom became an interesting place. Everyone was excited, waiting for a long, heated discussion between the two teachers.

We weren't disappointed. Right then and there, Mr Smith and Mr Green began their argument (争论). They tried to show their answers on the blackboard. They used some math words and expressions I had never heard of, but at one point, the vocabulary turned simple.

"No, …" Mr Smith said. "Yes, …" Mr Green answered.

"No, …" Mr Smith said again. "Yes, …" Mr Green repeated.

…

At first, we were on our seats listening carefully, trying to follow their ideas. Later, Tom and some other students began to stand together around them. As time passed by, students showed their support for different teachers and became two teams. Everyone worked so hard, just for the answer to a single math problem. That's the power of maths!

When the school bell rang, the problem was still not solved. "Why not ask all the math teachers at school to join us and have a meeting for it?" Mr. Smith said.

"How about lunch time? …" Mr. Green replied.

"Great! …" All the students shouted …

In the library, I sat down on the floor and pulled a few books off the shelf. The cover of a book caught my attention. It was a2 of a beagle(小猎兔狗). I had recently had a beagle, the first and only animal friend I ever had. But one morning, he was gone, given away to someone who had the space and the money to care for him. I never3 my beagle.

The beagle on the cover looked like my dog. I ran my fingers over the picture of the dog on the cover. My4 ran across the title, Bobby, the Beagle with a Plan. Unknowingly, I had read the title. Without opening the book, I took it out of the library.

Under the shade of a bush. I started to read about Bobby. I read very, very5 with difficulty. I got the main idea of the story about a dog. Like mine, he had been away from his family and finally found his way back home. That dog was my dog, and I was the little boy in the book.6 the story, my mind continued the final scene of getting together, on and on, until my own lost dog and I were running together in my mind.

My mother's call returned me to the real world. I suddenly7 something: I had read a book, and I had loved reading the book. Everyone knew I could not read. But I had read it. Books could be really8 and I was going to read them.

I never told my mother about my "miraculous (奇迹般的)"9 that summer, but she saw a slow but surprising improvement in my classroom performance during the next year. And years later, she was10 that her son had read thousands of books, and wrote his own books, articles, and poetry.

One day, the king had a new plan and he said to his men, "This year, I will build the best palace in the world. It may be praised within my kingdom, and by the people of neighboring states."

After building his palace, the king invited noblemen (贵族) from his kingdom, as well as from neighboring states to come. And he asked them3 their opinions about the palace.

"Unbelievable! It is4 most beautiful palace," the noblemen said. They looked5 the palace and thought it was6. But one man who looked young stood in the corner. He hardly said7.

The king wanted to know why the man was quiet when everyone else was praising his palace. He walked up to the man and asked, "Hello, young man. You keep silent. Is there anything wrong with my palace?" The man smiled and replied in a calm voice, "Your Majesty! Your palace is strong and will last8 years or even longer. It is beautiful9 not perfect. Many of your people are still suffering a hard life. Because of that, I am silent."

The king listened to the young man's opinion10. Then he thanked the wise man for his honest words and said he would never try to rebuild his palace again. Instead, he used the money to help the people in need.

—Because of the pollution.

—Yes, I can read it as ________.

—No, I have been here for ________ times.

—Yes, only after the Nile River and the Amazon River.

During the Spring and Autumn Period (春秋时期), there was a master (大师) of the Guqin instrument named Yu Boya. He always found his (idea) from nature. During a boat trip to the State of Chu, the sight of the river and mountains inspired (he) to play. After a while, he noticed Zhong Ziqi, a woodsman, standing (quiet) on the bank,enjoying the music. Yu invited Zhong aboard.

Yu played music that described the high mountains. Zhong said, "Wonderful! I see the grand (雄伟的) Taishan Mountain!" Yu then played music describing the flowing water, and Zhong said, "Wonderful! I see the rushing river!"

Yu was (surprise). "You really understand my music!" Then the musician and the woodsman became good friends. They decided (meet) each other again at the same place the next year.

When that time came, Yu arrived and found that Zhong had died of illness.

Yu felt very sad. He (take) out his Guqin and once again played the music of the "high mountains and flowing water".

"My (good) friend has passed away," he said. "No one in the world understands my music anymore." he broke his Guqin and never played it again.

This story tells us that true friendship isn't about who you are or how long you've known each other. Instead, it should be about two people sharing the same feelings each other.

In a clear tank of water (水箱), fish are swimming happily. But wait a second: look closer at that blue one.

This scene happened at the World Digital Education Meeting from May 14 to 16 in Wuhan, Hubei province. Scientists at Wuhan University invented the robotic fish. The pretty colors of them came from the LED lights on their bodies. These lights could also give the underwater world a party feel.

The robotic fish were about 53 centimeters long. That's why the robotic fish acted like real ones. With the special design, they can move fast and easily.

"I love to see the robotic fish," Professor James Crabbe from Oxford University told the media. "It could tell us much more about fish groups and how fish behave (表现)."

Fish swim together in large groups. The robotic fish helps us learn about fish groups and understand how real fish live. It can also show how changes in the environment influence them.

With the help of AI and sensors (传感器), they can "see" things in their way and learn to avoid them. They are already helping in the study of the Yangtze River's water to help protect the environment.

A. It is actually a robot!

B. Even better, these fish are smart.

C. They weighed about 1.1 kilograms.

D. It helps them stay safe, find food and save energy.

E. Besides the blue ones, there were red and yellow ones, too.

F. The bionic joints (仿生关节) were put in their heads and tails.

Since it opened in 1973, nearly 57 million people have visited the museum. However, AP News reported that the museum might have to close if the government doesn't offer more money for necessary repairs. These repairs are important to keep the art collection and visitors safe. During the repair work, some parts of the museum will be shut down. This means the museum will earn less money from ticket sales.

In fact, ticket sales alone can't cover the costs of running a museum. Museums need help from the government and rich people. For example, in the United States, the National Endowment for the Arts (国家艺术基金会) and other organizations provide money for specific projects, repair work and daily operations (运营). This public support shows that museums play an important role in education and culture. Besides, art collectors and even ordinary visitors may give money to museums.

Museums also make money through different activities. Some museums now have nice gift shops and cafes. Visitors can buy books, gifts and branded merchandise (品牌商品) there, and they can also enjoy food and drinks in the cafes.

Museums have changed a lot over time, and they keep looking for new ways to give visitors better experiences and attract more donors (赞助人).

The drone program was started to follow our country's plan for AI education. Drones bring together many subjects. By controlling them, students can learn about machines, coding (编程) and how air works, while also improving their thinking and practical skills.

To take part in a drone competition, students first need to take a lesson to learn about drone structure (结构) and flight rules. After that, they write codes to control drones. Then they practice flying them. Before the competition, there is even special training for them.

Many students attended the program. Student Yang Bailiang joined the class with a big dream: "I hope drones can solve real problems. For example, fire engines can't always reach the top of buildings, but drones can. I want to learn about drones to help people."

Student Xie Yuqi remembers his first flight: "I was nervous at first, but when the drone took off smoothly, I felt excited." He added with a laugh, "I will surely introduce this class to my friends. They can enjoy the success!"

For the students, besides knowledge, they can get a lot from the program. When students make drones fly the way they planned, that success changes how they see themselves.
