With the development of science and technology, more and more changes come into our lives. If you look carefully, you'll find that our world is getting smarter all the time. For example, a group of devices (设备) can control (控制) a smart home. These devices work together to control things like security (安全), temperature (温度) and entertainment (娱乐).

The smart security system makes it easier for us to see each other and communicate through home cameras anywhere. Have you ever locked your keys inside your home? Not a problem! The smart security system can lock or unlock your door without a key.

When it's cold outside, most people want their homes to be warm. A smart temperature controller can remember what time people arrive home and make sure the house is warm and comfortable when they walk in.

Smart speakers also make homes smarter. They listen to a special word or phrase and then follow the order that people give them. A smart speaker can respond to "Please play my favorite music" or "Remember to tell me to finish my homework later".

Living in a smart home sounds cool, doesn't it? As time goes on, we're sure to find more ways to make our homes smarter!

Birds are everywhere. There are about 10,000 kinds of birds in the world. They sing outside our windows, fly through the sky, and build their nests in the trees. But how many people really look closely at these cute friends? In fact, millions of people watch birds as a hobby.

The best time to watch birds in Beijing is early spring and mid-to-late autumn. Numbers of birds migrate (迁徙) north to have babies in summer and south to spend winter.

You can start watching and enjoying the birds without any special equipment (设备) at all! Birds are often easier to find by listening than by looking. Close your eyes and listen. Can you point to where the song is coming from? When you get better at watching birds, you may need these things. A pair of binoculars can help you get a close look at a bird. A field guide (手册) is helpful, too. The pictures and information in the book can help you know what birds you're seeing. You may also need a notebook to write down the birds you find and what they are doing.

Watching birds is a fun, inexpensive way to enjoy the outdoors. When you start to take notes of the birds around you, you may find yourself more perceptive (敏锐的) of the things around you, like trees, fruits, and flowers. It is also good for your health. Looking for birds gets you outside in the fresh air and gets you moving. When you're watching birds, you'll see other people with binoculars, and you can make new friends this way.

①It's unclear whether napping is good for everyone, but research suggests, napping, a short-time sleep, can improve some people's overall performance (表现) in the short term. And if people nap regularly (有规律地) at midday, it might also have longer-term benefits (益处) to health.

②For one thing, several studies find that a short-time sleep is good for brain to work well. A 2021 study in Science Advances finds that napping is able to improve reaction (反应) time and memory performance. A short nap can also help with creativity (创造力) .

③These benefits of napping are the strongest for people who don't get enough nighttime sleep. A 2014 review of research says when night-time workers, new parents and older people with little nighttime sleep take a nap during night-time work, they feel less sleepy and have better overall performance.

④However, some people may feel tired after napping. That's because they don't time their naps right. Then how long is a well-timed short sleep? A 20-minute nap is useful, the psychologist Dautovich says, and 60 to 90 minutes of sleep can be even more helpful. However, when people sleep for more than 20 minutes and less than 60 minutes, they will feel tired easily.

⑤For another, regular short naps also seem to improve brain health in the long term, Garfield and her colleagues at University College London find. People with regular napping genes (基因) have a larger brain volume (大脑容量) . All brains lose volume as they age, Garfield says, but taking a nap regularly is able to help slow down your aging for 2. 6 to 6. 5 years.

⑥Of course, not everyone can nap, Garfield says. And there are other healthy habits that could fill 20 minutes a day, such as going on a walk or going to the gym. But if it can fit in your timetable and you are also willing to try, napping will definitely reward you in many ways.

However, I notice there are so many weeds (野草) . I am deeply worried about the weeds growing taller and taller, and they will make our plants grow slowly. So I often go and do something to help our plants grow faster.

One day, during the lunch break, I went to the corner of the garden and pulled the weeds as usual. However, I forgot about the time. When I was busy pulling the weeds, I didn't know that the class had already started and no one noticed I was the only one left there.

Later, when I returned to the classroom, my teacher Miss Smith gave me a serious look.

"Peter, you're late again. We started the class ten minutes ago."

"Sorry, Miss Smith." I realized I had made a big mistake.

After class, my teacher asked me why I was late for her class. I told her that I forgot about the time because I was pulling the weeds at the small vegetable garden.

"Peter, you should understand the importance of being on time. You really need to keep the school schedule in mind."

I thought my teacher was right and I should try to balance my studies and other activities better.

"Thanks, Miss Smith. I have understood what you said. I will still help out in the garden and I am sure I will never be late for class and I will always follow my school schedule."

We both gave each other a big smile.
