Take responsibility for your mistakes and make things right.

BMI refers to creating a connection between the human brain and external devices (外部设备), making communication between the brain and computers. For paralyzed people, BMI can allow them to move and do simple things by themselves.

On Oct.24, 2023, the team put a BMI chip (芯片) in the patient's head. The chip can receive neural signals from the brain. After three months of home recovery training, the patient can now use his brain signals to control a special glove powered by air pressure. This helps him do things like drinking water independently.

BMI technology usually means putting chips directly onto the patient's brain. However, this project is minimally invasive (微创的), making sure the patient's brain is not harmed. So it is an important breakthrough. It also uses a wireless power supply (无线电源), so the implanted (植入的) device doesn't need a battery.

In China, BMI technology is still in the early stages of research, with no products on the market yet. Some people are worried that tests may influence patients' independence and even who they are. Ethical concerns (伦理问题) related to BMI also need to be addressed. These include whether the patient has a clear understanding of what is going on when they agree to take part in the test.

②For thousands of years, the tea that is loved by many people around the world. It has finally received top-level global recognition (认可) as a shared cultural treasure of our humans. Chinese tea culture began as early as over 5, 000 years ago. It's said the ruler Shen Nong was the first to discover tea as a drink by accident. But during the Three-Kingdom Period, people paid more attention to its medical value. In the Tang Dynasty, tea-tasting became an important part for poets' life. One big fan of tea, Bai Juyi, wrote 64 poems about tea in his lifetime.

③According to UNESCO, in China traditional tea processing techniques are closely related to location and natural environment. The area of tea planting in China is about between 18°—37°N and 94°—122°E.This is why the tea in Guangdong is so delicious and famous.

④Tea-tasting customs are not only found across the country, but also influenced the rest of the world through the ancient Silk Road.In western countries, tea first had the greatest influence on Britain in the 17th century, and then the whole of Europe. When it came to the late 18th and 19th centuries, 10% of a British person's income (money made from work) at the time was spent on tea, making it an important expensive product.

⑤Now, the tea in Shenzhen and other areas of China has been cultural treasure of humans.

Get organized.

Managing your time can help you study better and more wisely. Make a weekly schedule and devote a certain amount of time to study per day. The amount of time you spend is entirely up to you—even 30 minutes a day can make a difference.

Minimize distractions.

Silencing your phone and turning off the TV keeps you focused. The constant ping of a phone or background noise from a TV may not seem like a distraction (使人分心的事) , but they can keep your mind in 2 places at once. If you're worried about texting a fiend, you're not focused on studying.

Take good notes in class.

Being smart about your note-taking can help you study better. When in class, make sure you take the best notes you can. Catch all the important information, writing down what the teacher says or emphasizes (even if it's not in the textbook). Not only do detailed notes help you study later, but they also help you stay alert and focused during the lesson.

Richard lives on the edge of the Nairobi National Park in Kenya.The park is full of rhinos, giraffes, buffalos and lions. Since he was nine, the big3 has been the lions. "I grew up hating lions" says Richard. "They used to come at night and eat our cows when we were4."

Then one night, as he was walking around with a torch, he noticed5. "I discovered that the lions were6 of the moving light." Lions are naturally afraid of people. Richard realized that the lions connected the moving torchlight with people, so they7. Using some bulbs and wires, Richard set up a series of flashing lights to give lions the8 that people were walking around the land where the animals were kept.

The lions didn't come near. Soon other families were using his "lion lights". Richard's lion lights9 just ten dollars to make. They have not only helped the farmers but also the lions. Many lions have been killed by farmers trying to protect their animals. Now, across Kenya, Richard's idea has been10 by farmers to protect their animals from predators (捕食性动物) and to protect their crops from elephants.

Richard has been offered a scholarship at one of Kenya's top schools. "One year ago, I was just a boy herding my father's cows. Now I want to be an engineer and a pilot."

Dear Henry, 

I'm glad to receive your email. 

Best wishes!

Yours,

Clapper（响板）talk is also called Chinese kuaiban. It is  traditional art. Artists talk and sing  a pair of bamboo clappers. 

I am a fan of clapper talk. I  (learn) it since I was six. When I watched the clapper talk acting for the first time, I got  (interest) in its free style. Then I decided to learn it. 

Learning clapper talk is difficult  full of fun. It needs clear talking and rhythm（节奏）, as well as good working of both hands. After one  (year) training and practice, I could use these skills. I also started to know  (it) meaning. It shows the beauty of rhyme in the Chinese language through playing the clappers in different  (way). Clapper talk also sends a message about respecting（尊敬）one's elders. 

I can act on stage and put  I want to say into my acting, like my love for my hometown. I will work harder  (make) it more famous around the world. I believe everyone has fun learning about Chinese culture. 

"The winner is Class One, Grade Eight!"

Hearing the  （激动人心）news, we all jumped up and hugged each other with joy. 

A few weeks ago, we learned that our school's yearly singing  （比赛）was about to be held. The winner would have a trip to Disneyland! This was one of the best  （奖品）ever, and everyone wanted to win it. So we practised in the music room whenever we had time. We thought about some ideas  （积极）, such as using dance moves while singing. The more we practised, the  （大）progress（进步）we made. 

That day, there were many people in our music hall. When the music started, we  （进入）the hall and took the stage. We sang our feelings out and our dance was  （优秀）。When we finished, all the people cheered for us. 

This was our best show ever. We practised so hard for this  （时刻）, and our work all paid off. As we left the hall, we felt so  （满意）that we all wore a smile on the face. We decided to  （邀请）our teachers and parents to travel to Disneyland as a present for their support（支持）. We couldn't wait to be on the trip. 

In the morning, we went camping in Green Natural Park. We were happy because it was a sunny day. We hoped for a(an)  two-day holiday. However, in the afternoon, there was a shower. But  of us brought an umbrella. We ran about but could find no place to hide  . Twenty minutes passed and it was still raining. Our  almost broke when we knew we went to the wrong way! At about 5 o' clock, the rain stopped. We decided to give up the camping trip because all of us were afraid of  . What a bad experience!

My stutter（口吃）had always been much of a problem. My parents were worried about me,1 they found many specialists（专家）for my speech（说话）over the years. On my way to meet a new one, I couldn't help thinking2 sad a kid with stutter was. It still hurt. 

"Hello! I'm Mrs Claussen. I hear you come3 Texas!"

"Ye-Ye-Ye-Yes m-m-m-m-m-m-m-aam I am. . . " My heart was beating fast and my4 were dripping（滴水）wet. I would like to say something but I5 speak out the words. 

"Well, I' ve6 liked Texas, " she said with a kind smile. 

She was the best speech7 I' ve ever met, not like those who told me to clap my hands while speaking. She was8 . 

For the first several weeks, she just talked to me——She tried to get more9 about me, especially my feelings. And she listened to me10 . She then started to teach me about the speech, not just about my speech, but about11 . 

During the next two years, my speech didn't get much better——except with her. When I was in college, things got12 . I was unable to stop my stutter again. But when I was feeling really sorry for myself, I remembered Mrs Claussen had told me whether I could13 my speech all depended on myself. She had told me not to try14 speech, just better speech. She was right about that. 

And with the help of Mrs Claussen, I finally15 my speech greatly. I' ll never forget her help. 

Chinese space lover Wang Yuan has been chosen as one of the volunteers（志愿者）for the Mars-500 test project.  Another five volunteers are all space lovers too. They are three Russians, an Italy-Colombian and a Frenchman. They will feel what it's like to travel to Mars without leaving the Earth. During the whole process, they have to stay inside for one and a half years under the condition which is almost the same as the red planet. So the experiment（实验）is called Mars-500. 

 Although the volunteers won't leave the building, they will feel as if they are on a real trip to Mars. The most difficult thing is that they will be kept away from the people outside.  That will be hard. When reporters asked what they would miss most during the 500-day special life, Charles from France said, "For me, it will be mainly my family, the sun and fresh air. "

The main task is to study"Man and Environment". It will care about the astronauts' physical effects and the experience of staying there.  So they will have to decide everything by themselves and then report to the Earth, and the Earth will tell them if they do the right thing. 

People are looking forward to the result of the experiment. 

Do you want to travel to Mars? Why or why not?（不超过15词）

It was 8:00 am. A group of college students got out of my car to make a video in the park. My job, as the driver, was to stay nearby so that if they need something I could open the car. 

I could have two or three hours' free time, so I decided to go somewhere and do some reading. I found a beautiful park bench（长椅）. I noticed that a man was sitting on one end, but there was plenty of room for more than two more bodies. Walking over, I sat on the end seat to have a rest. 

The man on the other end looked at me but didn't move. I quickly found that he might spend the night on the bench. His clothes were dirty, his hair was untidy, and soon I caught a bad smell of body sweat（汗水）. I looked at him and smiled, and he smiled back with blacked-out teeth. 

We both sat there for over an hour quietly. I was reading. He was watching the video making. He then stood up, walked in front of me and bowed. " ▲ " He said, in a little shaky but clear voice. I looked up at him. 

"For what?" I asked in surprise. 

He looked at the ground, "Usually people won't even look at me and I have to sit alone. Thank you for treating me as a man. "

I really didn't know what to say as he turned and walked quickly around the corner. I couldn't believe all of these. I didn't do anything special. I just shared a bench. 

To me, he was just someone who wanted a place to rest. That's also what I wanted. We were no different. I finally got to know that my actions truly meant something to this poor homeless man. So, treating others in an equal（平等的）way can also make a difference to the world. 

You already know that you are an amazing person, but it's not just your wonderful personality. Your body itself is an unusual machine. 

Lots of information has been written on the subject of"you". You might wonder about your body. Most people think that the whole picture of how your body systems work together is important to understand. Sometimes the details（细节）interest us the most. Let's go on the way to get a haircut. 

Why don't haircuts hurt? Cut, cut——the scissors fly around your head. Your hair grows from living cells（细胞）, but the hair that's cut is not alive. What's the story here?

Each hair on your head grows from a root that is under your skin. The root produces hair cells in a follicle（毛囊）. When new hair cells are made at the root, they push older hair cells up the follicle. 

As older hair cells try to move out of your head, they change. They join together and become hard. Then they die. The strand of hair（发丝）that comes out of your head does not have living cells in it. That's why a haircut doesn't hurt!

You probably have about 100, 000 hairs on your head right now. Hair grows all the time, then falls out and starts to grow again. It usually does this in different stages. That's why you don't lose all of your hair at once. 

In fact, your hair is just a part of all those magical things of your body. You might open your eyes wide while looking at any one of them. If you want to know more about them, keep reading. 

"Father, don't you want me to be clever and great one day?" said Willie to his father. 

"I want you, my boy, try to do your work well. Also do not be too sure of anything, " he replied. "When I see people, as the saying goes, 'never count chickens before they are hatched （孵化）', it makes me think of the famous Napoleon（拿破仑）。"

"Before Napoleon became the king of France, he had already beaten most of Europe. And he thought he could beat England easily. He was so sure of it that he chose the cold winter days to get into London. 

"He got a lot of his men together, and had ships ready to carry them from France to England. He looked over the blue sea towards England and thought, 'I' ll land in England soon, go to London, and take it. ' "

"He was too sure, " laughed Willie. 

"He was so sure, " said his father, "that in fact he had made a medal（勋章）to celebrate his success! On the medal was written in French, 'STUCK AT LONDON', which means that the medal was made in London. "

"But he never even got to England!" said Willie. 

"He made so sure of success, " said the father, "that he had celebrations of getting a city that he had never set foot in!"

"Well, that was counting his chickens before they are hatched!" laughed the boy. "How sorry Napoleon must feel later whenever he thought of that medal! Have you got any more stories for me, father?"

"Yes, I have a story about a very different man from Napoleon. It's about the Duke of Wellington……"

In 2024 many kids' movies hit the screen. With so many great ones to choose from, we' ve picked three of them for you. Let's take a look together!
