I couldn't forget the way I was frozen in front of the class today. My teacher, Mr. Liu had divided the class into groups to do speeches. Today was my turn. However, my hands shook so badly that I couldn't read my notes. My voice became softer even to silence. Mr. Liu kindly ended my part of speech even though I clearly didn't finish. He also asked me to stay after class for a moment.

"Betty, I know you are shy, but you worked so hard on this project. I'd hate to see you give up on yourself." Mr. Liu said, "If I give you another chance until tomorrow, do you think you can find courage?" I nodded, grateful for the chance. I went as quickly as I could to my next class, keeping my head down and hoping the school day would end soon.

When I reached home that afternoon, I could see an inviting light coming from the kitchen windows. Mum was baking(烘焙). She studied my face as I came into the kitchen. "What's wrong, Betty?"

Tears shone in my eyes. I told her the whole story. Mum was silent for a moment with her hands busy with the cake. "Why is it that you can talk to me about anything and everything but you can't talk to your class?" Mum asked. She set the time right and then said, "Let me show you something."

I followed her to the bedroom. There she showed me a book filled with pictures. In it there was a blue ribbon(丝带) that said "First Place" and a picture of herself when she was very young, standing with her parents.

"I won it for public speaking. I started the school year as the shyest girl on the speech team, but I ended the year as the blue ribbon winner. It wasn't easy at first—not sure of myself at all. I worked hard, and mostly I faced my tears. You just need to find your courage."

A mother and a baby camel were lying around. (sudden), the baby camel asked, "Mother, may I ask you some questions?" The mother said, "Sure! Why son, is there something bothering you?" Baby said, "Why do camels have humps (驼峰)?" The mother said,"Well son, we are desert (animal), we need the humps (store) water and we are known to survive without water."

Baby said, "Okay, then why are our legs long and our feet rounded?" The mother said, "Son, obviously they are meant walking in the desert. You know with these legs I can move around the desert (well) than anyone does!" Baby said, "Okay, then why are our eyelashes (睫毛) long? Sometimes it bothers (I) sight." Mother with pride said, "My son, those long thick eyelashes are your protective cover, help to protect your eyes from the desert sand and wind."

After (think), Baby said, "I see. So the hump is to store water when we are in the desert, the legs are for walking through the desert and these eyelashes protect my eyes from the desert, but why don't we live in zoo!?"

Moral: Skills, knowledge, abilities and experiences (be) only useful if you are at the right place.

Floodwater can be a breeding ground for mosquitoes (蚊子) which carry diseases. You should avoid floodwater whenever possible. Here are practical safety tips：

Avoid flooded areas.

Do not drive, walk or swim through floodwaters. It can be difficult to judge the depth of the water, and unknown dangers may be hidden by it.

Clean and disinfect (消毒) items that have touched floodwater.

Taking a dual approach to cleaning up after a flood is crucial. Cleaners remove dirt and grime, and disinfectants stop the growth of bacteria carried in floodwater. If you are cleaning areas that have mold growing, it's also recommended to wear a N95 mask.

Make sure the food you eat are clean.

Don't eat food that may have come into contact with floodwater. Even if the food is packaged, it could have been exposed to bacteria from the floodwater.

Polluted water can contain bacteria and cause serious infections. Follow water safety advisories to boil water before drinking or use bottled water. If needed, bring water to a rolling boil for one full minute to kill water­borne bacteria.

Never expose an open wound to floodwater.

During flood cleanup, there's a risk of developing cuts, open wounds or blisters, which could increase the risk of infection. Apply an antibiotic ointment (药膏) and cover it with a waterproof bandage.

Wash your hands often and thoroughly.

If you've come into contact with floodwater or objects that have touched floodwater, it's vital to clean your hands with soap and water or alcohol­based hand sanitizer (消毒剂)．

A. Make sure drinking water is safe.

B. Clean wounds with soap and clean water.

C. Don't allow children to play in or near floodwaters.

D. Watch for symptoms like stomach upset and fever.

E. Wear proper safety equipment like gloves and eye protection while cleaning.

F. It also may contain harmful substances from agricultural runoff.

G. Prepare an emergency kit stocked with water, food, and flashlights.

Scientists have discovered a new kind of invisible ink. It is called water. All you need for this secret-messaging ink to work is to write with it on a super-hi-tech piece of paper coated with special chemicals. Shine a UV light on the coated paper and the water message becomes visible.

When the message has been read and needs to be hidden again, get out your hairdryer, and blow some warm air on the paper. Then the message will be erased and the paper can be reused, which keeps costs low.

The chemicals on the paper take in and give off light. The scientists found that putting water on the paper broke up the structure of the chemicals it was coated with. The water writing showed up darker than the surrounding paper under UV light.

Using hot air from a hairdryer for 15-30 seconds, you were able to reuse the special paper as many as 30 times because the heat reorganized the chemical structure of the paper coating. Without the heat from a hairdryer, the message stayed visible for up to three months.

The invention was made by a group of scientists in China, led by Qiang Zhao of the Institute of Advanced Materials, Nanjing University of Posts and Telecommunications.

The first step is making some choices. What sort of plants do you like? What do you want to grow? Many people have flower gardens. People grow these gardens for the way that they look. They are pretty to look at. Flowers can have many shapes and many colors. Other people grow food in their gardens. They grow fruits and vegetables. These gardens are helpful. Some people like both types of gardens, so they have flowers and food.

After you choose the type of garden you want, you'll need a good location for it. The best place for a small garden is in a yard. One of the most important things to look for is sun. Always put your garden in a sunny spot. You should also put your garden in a place that is easy to get to. And you will want to put flowers in a place where everyone can see them.

Each kind of plant is different. Once you choose the plants you want, you have to learn a little about them. Some plants grow best in spring. Others should be planted in summer. A few plants grow all year long. Choose when you will do your planting. Then choose the best plants to grow.

I'm sure you will enjoy your garden. Gardens can be very pretty. What's nicer than seeing bright flowers all around you? You can also grow many kinds of great foods. Some people say food they grow themselves tastes better. Best of all, gardens are just plain fun.

Today, one girl came and sat down. I started with how we usually do. She can speak but cannot hear and lip-read. I asked one question, and she went on for 10 minutes straight, and in Tamil (泰米尔语). I understood a couple of words here and there, so I understood that she was not saying anything connected with what I asked. I just kept on listening to her without speaking a word. This went on for an hour and a half! Then, after a long pause, I told her to get back on track with another question. And then she shared for another half an hour straight! The whole time I was just looking in her eyes which would go here and there but come back to me. In the end, I just got up and hugged her and she was smiling wider.

Then I invited her to have juice with me. She said yes. What put me in a state of fear was realizing, just a few minutes later, that treating my new friend to some juice was the first celebration of my very first salary! A month ago, I started my first job, and what a blessing to have this important moment in my life be rooted in generosity.

Get adventurous this summer! Each week has a new theme to keep you busy as you develop new skills, explore nature, and meet new friends.

The Journey of Growth

In a high school classroom, sunlight streamed through the windows as our physics teacher announced an experiment. The desks, by wires and batteries, became our workstations. A group near the back the task was too hard, but the teacher encouraged us to keep it up, and we    answers step by step.

I partnered with Li Hua. When the circuit diagrams (电路图) appeared on the screen, I froze--the symbols looked nothing like our textbook examples. for her calmness, I focused on connecting wires while she explained the of settings. Soon, we were in testing different currents, our hands moving between tools.

A sudden spark! "Loose wire", Li Hua pointed. I felt to fix it, though my fingers shook. As I reconnected the wire, the meter needle (电流表) started dancing! Even the doubtful group cheered when they saw our circuits (电路) lit up.

After class, the teacher wrote: "Every mistake teaches." This made me realize: When we face challenges, curiosity guides us forward.

Anyone who has an interest in Dunhuang will have heard of Fan Jinshi. The Chinese archaeologist has spent more than half a century researching and preserving the caves at the heart of the ancient Silk Road in Gansu Province(know) as the "Daughter of Dunhuang" in her field, though "protector" is probably a more fitting(describe).

Fan has been studying the historical site since the early 1960s, first as an archaeology undergraduate from Peking University, then as a conservationist when she became the deputy director of the Dunhuang Research Academy in 1984, which serves to prevent the ancient site being destroyed.

"It is over a thousand years old. It is an old person, an(extreme) weak old person. It has(variety) illnesses. If you are a little careless, it could be gone. Gone forever," Fan says.

Today, thanks to the work of great(archaeologist) such as Fan, Dunhuang is proud of the world's largest and best-preserved collection of Buddhist relics(date) from the 13th to the 15th centuries. The main Mogao site is made up of 735 caves spread across1,700-metre-wide cliff face, containing 45,000 square metres of murals(壁画) more than 2,000 colourful sculptures.

Here's a riddle: What do traffic jams, long lines and waiting for a vacation to start all have in common? There is one answer..

In the Digital Age, we're used to having what we need immediately and right at our fingertips. However, research suggests that if we practiced patience, we'd be a whole lot better off. Here are several tricks.

●Practice gratitude (感激)

Thankfulness has a lot of benefits: Research shows it makes us happier, less stressed and even more optimistic.. "Showing thankfulness can foster self-control," said Ye Li, researcher at the University of California.

● Make yourself wait

Instant gratification (满足) may seem like the most "feel good" option at the time, but psychology research suggests waiting for things actually makes us happier in the long run. And the only way for us to get into the habit of waiting is to practice.. Put off watching your favorite show until the weekend or wait 10 extra minutes before going for that cake. You'll soon find that the more patience you practice, the more you start to apply it to other, more annoying situations.

●.

So many of us have the belief that being comfortable is the only state we will tolerate, and when we experience something outside of our comfort zone, we get impatient about the circumstances. You should learn to say to yourself, "." You'll then gradually become more patient.

A. Find your causes

B. Start with small tasks

C. Accept the uncomfortable

D. All this adds up to a state of hurry

E. It can also help us practice more patience

F. This is merely uncomfortable, not intolerable

G. They're all situations where we could use a little extra patience

In the following years, Steinberg examined why teens were more likely to take risks in the company of other teenagers. In a later study, by scanning (扫描) the brains of 40 teens and adults, Steinberg found the brains of teenagers, but not adults, showed greater activity in two regions associated with rewards when they were being observed by same-age peers. The reward systems of the brain are activated whenever people experience something rewarding, like eating a nice-tasting food, which make them feel satisfied. In this case, rewards are greater for teens, which motivates them to seek higher-risk experiences.

But Steinberg thought peer pressure might also have its positive side. In the latest study, Steinberg's team used a card game to research how peers affect the way young people gather and apply information. It involved 101 teenage boys who played either alone or with three peers. They chose cards from four decks (牌堆): two decks had "good" cards, and two "bad" ones. Players with peers were more willing to take risks, trying to figure out which decks could help them to win. The results showed that teens playing with their peers engage in more exploratory behavior, learn faster and achieve better performance on the task than those playing alone.

Now some experts are proposing that we should take advantage of the teens' keen sensitivity (敏感) to the presence of friends to improve education. "Risk taking in an educational context is a vital skill that enables progress and creativity," wrote Sarah-Jayne Blakemore, a professor at University College London.
