The Chinese invented block printing more than 1,400 years ago. The original characters were carved on wood and ink was then applied. Block printing is time consuming and( cost) a lot of manpower and materials. Misprinted characters cannot be( easy) corrected. These shortcomings were only overcome after the appearance of movable type printing,greatly improved the speed and quality of printing.

Bi Sheng of the Northern Song Dynasty invented the movable type printing. He carved the Chinese characters on small(cube) of sticky clay. He baked them in the fire until they became hard and movable. In the course of presswork, the movable characters were placed into. iron frame until it was full. He then took a smooth board and pressed it over the surface so that the block of type became even: Then ink was applied and it was readyprinting. To be more(efficiency),he prepared two iron boards. When one was being used for printing, the other could be used(put) characters in order for the next page. The two boards were used alternately.

Although what Bi Sheng invented was simple when(compare) to today's letterpress printing; it already bad the main traits of modern printing. So Bi Sheng's(contribute) to printing cannot be overstated.

I remember one1 girl who truly enjoyed being in our class and getting to play with the other little kids. Unfortunately, she also suffered from severe separation anxiety. She would cry when she was dropped off. This led to a(n)2 situation: a child that loved to be in our classroom and yet cried3 she was being tortured (折磨).

I had one game I really4 playing with the kids during snack time. I would go up to the children and tell them not to smile, and commented if they were starting to smile. Since the girl happened to have the most beautiful smile, capable of5 a room, she was almost always one of the kids I'd do this game with just to6 that smile.

Eventually, she got to the point that just telling her not to smile would lead to a giant smile. Not wanting to7, she would cover her face with her hands. So then the game was to see if I could "find" the smile she was8.

The trick was so9 that I started to use it on her whenever she was dropped off. She would always be handed to me10 loudly. I'd find some way to11 her attention so she would listen to me. Then I would tell her not to smile. Her hands would12 go to cover up a big smile, and after a brief game of "hunting" for the smile, she would stop crying. Then she would forget all about her13 from her mother and happily run off to find some kids to play with.

I still have fond memories of that sweet little girl, her beautiful smiles, and how she14 her mother that I was a(n)15 worker.

Exploring the answers to this question can open windows to worlds you never knew existed. You will find something here that will get you interested, or get you thinking about its significance.

History is an important and interesting field of study, and learning the history of our home country can give us a deeper glimpse into our ancestral pasts, and how we got to where we are today. Many people feel like they need a sense of cultural belonging, which is something that studying your roots can provide.

History enriches our experience. Reading history is an amazing experience because it enables us to reflect on the social and economic life of the people living a long time ago. According to the experts, problems faced by people regardless of the past and present are the same.

History makes us more empathetic(具有共情能力的). Studying history can give us insight into why our culture does certain things, and how the past has shaped it into what we know now. Fear and hate for others is usually caused by ignorance (无知). History has the potential to break down those boundaries by offering us insight into entire worlds that would otherwise be foreign to us.

History can inspire us to learn more. It's almost impossible to learn about one historical period without having dozens of related questions. Study the 19th century England, and you might catch a glimpse of Charles Dickens' Oliver Twist. Or maybe you end up switching your attention away from novels, and discover the history of romantic poets in England. It can go anywhere for anybody.

A. History grounds us in our roots.

B. It stimulates a curiosity that pulls us deeper into the past.

C. History is an essential part of human civilization.

D. What's fantastic about history is the way it broadens our horizons.

E. Being empathetic means listening to and understanding someone else.

F. It also provides a rather strong foundation for empathy across cultures.

G. Learning from our ancestors' wisdom makes us better at handling life's challenges.

Many ground robots move by rolling or walking. But it's more efficient for robots to jump over obstacles (障碍物) than to go around them. Although jumping can offer some robots a competitive edge, engineering that ability has been a challenge for robotics researchers. Some soft robots that store energy can perform a single impressive jump very infrequently. Some lightweight soft robots that don't store energy can jump frequently but can't jump high or far enough to successfully cross an obstacle.

For inspiration, the researchers looked to gall midge larvae (瘿蚊幼虫) that miraculously throw themselves across distances 30 times as long as their loglike bodies. A gall midge larva bends its body and squeezes the liquid in its body to one end, making it rigid (僵硬的). The accumulation of liquid builds up pressure, and releasing the pressure sends it soaring (飙升). The robot's body doesn't resemble (像) that of a gall midge larva, but it jumps like one. Its body is made of two small plastic bags printed with electrodes; the front bag is filled with liquid and the back one is filled with the same volume of air. The robot uses electricity to drive the flow of liquid, which causes the body to bend and generate force with the ground, resulting in a jump. And the air bag imitates the function of an animal's tail, helping the robot keep a stable position.

While the robot is currently restricted to Earth, it might be right at home exploring another planet. If this is true, the researchers robot might jump over dusty rocks and large holes on the moon or Mars, going where no pancake has gone before.

Let's consider the approach. These people are being standoffish. Rather than selling themselves, they're shifting the burden onto someone else to make the sale. If I need a writer, I should reach out to them. If I need a story, I should ask them for an interview. If I need a customer service solution, I should ask them for details. "Let me know if you ever need a ... " sounds like an invitation, but it's really a shrug.

Imagine the situation where I'd assign (分派工作) a story to the writer who used the nine words, "Let me know if you ever need a writer." I would have needed a writer. Just any writer. Just anyone who can string words together. I would have needed to be in a panic, so desperate for someone to contribute to our magazine that I'd stopped thinking about great writers or good writers, or even serviceable writers and simply settled for a writer. This isn't a situation that exists. The world is full of good options! We are not living in times of shortage. If we need a job done, there are plenty of qualified people to do it. Our question is: Who's the best?

If you want to create opportunity for yourself, answer that question convincingly. The first thing to do is show someone you are the opportunity. Hiring you can help them. We also need to stop hiding behind ourselves. Get out in front! Sell yourself and your amazing abilities. Understand someone's problem, and explain exactly why you are the solution. Avoid saying "Let me know if you ever need a ... " Instead, start with: "Let me explain how I can help you."

After several twists and turns, Al Hussein managed to escape from war-torn Syria to Athens, Greece. With no money left on him, he had to sleep on the streets and look for fruit in trees or eat grass from the park. Luckily, he later found work cleaning toilets at a local cafe. He worked every day of the week with no breaks and was proud to be supporting himself. But he was missing something — sport.

Al Hussein used to be a sportsman. As war broke out in Syria in 2011, all sports stadiums were forced to close, but now settled and safe in Athens, he was desperate to return to physical activity. In May, 2015, his prayers were answered. A swimming club gave him permission to train there.

"When I looked at the address I realised it was the Athens Aquatics Centre," says Al Hussein, who, at the age of 16, had watched the 2004 Olympics unfold on a small TV in his cosy Syrian home. "Seeing those Olympics gave me motivation to do sport and although it was a flashback to the past, it was also a look to a better future because I had made it to the pool I'd watched and dreamt of swimming in."

For much of 2015 he swam in the morning and then worked at the cafe until late in the evening. It was tough, but it worked for him and, in early 2016, he secured two medals at the Greek Para Swimming National Championships. People began to take note.
