Dear Jackson,

Yours sincerely,

It is familiar to us Chinese that the year of 2023 is the Year of the Rabbit, reminds us of the "rabbit" on the moon, China's Yutu-2 lunar rover (月球车)

The Yutu-2 is named the pet rabbit of the Chinese moon goddess Chang'e. On January 3, 2019, the rover was brought to the far side of the moon by China's Chang'e-4 lunar probe. It was the first-ever soft landing on the (previous) uncharted area of the lunar surface.

The Chang'e-4 lunar probe consists of a lander and the Yutu-2 rover. Before its launch, a relay satellite (send) into space in May 2018 to facilitate earth-moon communication. So far, the rover has collected (value) data on solar wind, soil, gel-like rocks and dead volcanoes. The data and images sent back by the Yutu-2 have enhanced geography knowledge of the landing site, (deepen) understanding of the formation and evolution of the moon.

Of the many pictures of the lunar landscape (take) by the Yutu-2, one square object caused great debate among people on Earth. When the rover finally approached the object, it turned out to be rabbit-shaped rock. What an interesting coincidence!

The Yutu-2 (travel) more than 1,400 meters on the far side of the moon till now. It will continue to uncover more (mystery) of the moon.

After a tearless, farewell with my daughter, we left her new dorm room, but then in the campus we saw her jogging against the August heat. I quickly1down the car window and Sarina turned, nodded at us and happily waved goodbye. I was in2why the tears hadn't come when we3on her first day in university.

Our first4, the day she left my body, was a nightmare of pain and suffering. However, our togetherness following the birth was so5that I felt her small body still seemed to be6to mine. In the years to come, the sound of her feet running around our house was like the gentle pounding that7me that my little girl was here and that someday she would run to the8I couldn't follow.

Last year Sarina turned 16 and decided to9art in college: She was in excitement about college life with so much to expect, but I was10because it would be a long plane ride away from home. I tried to imagine what separation would be like, but I couldn't. Separation, although on the horizon, 11felt distant.

Until the next morning when I awoke in a house12of her footsteps, the13finally came and wouldn't stop. I understood that Sarina had left the house, and I held onto the memory of her14. When the tears stopped, I was relieved that with our love and support, she had the courage to15an unfamiliar distance, to glance back, yet to keep moving forward.

How to Remember What You Read

Reading is important, but the next important step is making sure that you remember what you've read! You may have just read the text, but the ideas, concepts and images may fly right out of your head. Here are a few tips for remembering what you read.

Are you confused?

If the plot, characters, or word usage is confusing for you, you likely won't be able to remember what you read. . If you don't understand what you're reading, how would you remember it? There are a few things you can do—use a dictionary, look up the difficult words, consult a teacher, etc.

Are you connected?

Does a character remind you of a friend? Does the setting make you want to visit the place? Does the book inspire you and make you want to read more? With some books, you may feel a connection right away. How willing are you to make the connections happen? Read it; hear it; be it!

Read the lines. Then, speak them out loud. And, put some character into the words. When he was writing his novels, Charles Dickens would act out the parts of the characters. He'd make faces in the mirror and change his voice for each character.

How often do you read?

If you read frequently, you'll likely have an easier time with remembering what you're reading and what you've read. LAs you make reading a regular part of your life, you'll make more connections, stay more focused and understand the text better. You'll learn to enjoy literature—as you remember what you read!

A. Practice makes perfect:

B. What's your motivation?

C Memory is sometimes a tricky thing.

D. It's a bit like reading a foreign language.

E. Marking helps you remember what you read.

F. But other books require a bit more work on your part.

G. You can do the same thing when you are reading the text!

A city in Denmark is about to become the first in the world to provide most of its citizens with fresh water using only the energy created from household wastewater.

The Marselisborg Wastewater Treatment Plant (MWTP) in Aarhus has undergone improvements that mean it can1 now produce more than 150 percent of the electricity needed to run the plant. The extra power can be used to pump drinking water around the city. As well as regularly powering the entire water system of 200,000 people living in the inner city area, any unwanted electricity could be sold into the local power network.

The plant produces energy from the biogas which creates out of household wastewater. Carbon is removed from the wastewater and pumped into digesters(沼气池) kept at 38℃ filled with bacteria. These produce biogas-mostly methane-that is then burned to make heat and electricity.

Upgrading the facilities in Marselisborg required nearly €3 million, but Aarhus Water expects that to be recovered in just five years. Other cities in Denmark, including Copenhagen, have been trying to copy the example of Aarhus.

When talking about copying Denmark's experience, Molly Walton, energy analyst at International Energy Agency, says, scientists and engineers would firstly have to improve energy efficiency; and it requires an enormous amount of money that could considerably increase the price of the water. Moreover, to work, the wastewater plant needs to be big enough to produce enough biogas, and even the wastewater has to be the right-mix. If it's watered down by much storm or groundwater, it will be almost impossible to recover energy, Walton says.

With rising global: temperatures, more energy will be needed to provide fresh water from other sources such as seawater. The city's action may not solve the problems, but it is a big step in the right direction.

New words emerge in English all the time. In fact, in recent years more new words and phrases are entering the language than ever before, partly due to the increased willingness of lexicographers (词典编纂者) to include them in the dictionaries.

John Algeo who studies the history of language says, "As our culture changes, the language changes. American culture is going through a time of rapid change."

Technology is moving fast, which has a big effect on language. The computer world produces hundreds of new words. New terms also come from business, medicine, and other fields.

Many new English words come from other languages. David Jost helps create the American Heritage Dictionary. "We constantly borrow words from other cultures," he says. "This will go on forever in cultures."

"People in many parts of the world speak English now. That is another reason why so many new words are entering the language," says Algeo.

The American Dialect Society has a contest each year. The society selects a "new word of the year", which gains high level of popularity on media for some days. Last year the winner was "information superhighway", referring to a whole set of electronic network of information and people getting access to this network by computer.

New words often come in several forms, such as the back-formation (like enthuse from enthusiasm), the clipping (like zoo from zoological garden), and the compounding, etc. Over time, one form tends to win out. Take the compounding for instance. "Domestic partners" has been growing popular lately, even though many terms have been used to describe couples who live together but are not married.

"A, new word rarely can be traced to one source," says Algeo. "Several people fend to create a new word when a need for one exists."

"Most new words have a limited life 'span," say language experts. Only a few will survive through the next 100 years.

All over the world, barbershops not only fuel their local economies, but also bring people together. So when the COVID-19 broke out three years ago and the community fell on hard times, Chris Bossio knew just what to do. Chris opened a

barbershop called (Headlines, where people could come together for a haircut, having some conversations meanwhile.

Later, Chris volunteered his free time to teach other barbers new techniques.

Impressed by his down-to-earth, easy-to-understand lessons, one of his business partners convinced him to upload them on Tiktok(抖音).

That was when things really took off. The videos earned him a large number of subscribers and as Chris kept creating more, he saw his subscribers turn into clients. The freshmen in the line flooded in to exchange professional opinions and sharpen the skills, while residents from the community came for a moment of peace, hence building a deeper bond.

Business was booming but Chris didn't stop here.

When he started Headlines, his initial goal was just to open five barbershops within five years. But as time went by, he was determined to share his success, focusing most of his time on empowering barbers. He held workshops where he trained barbers on not only the business of barbering, but also how to establish their brands. Once, his workshop attracted over 300 attendees. Many of his students have become successful barbers themselves, including about 40 who have opened their own shops in the area. "These shops serve as places where community cultures really come together and come to life," he said. It was a dream come true for Chris.

He also saw opportunities popping up as his channel grew. He started making a shaving gel (凝胶). It was another huge hit. He immediately launched a production line, creating a certain number of jobs in the community. Though the economy was in decline, he could sell 10,000 products per month in 15 countries. It's also been a lifeline during the COVID-19 epidemic (疾病流行), when hundreds of barbershops were forced to shut down. Without it, Chris' business, as well as chis employees, couldn't have survived.

In 2013, Deegan was trying to take control of her life after winning the fight against drinking. She did quit, but she was having difficulty reconnecting with people. Even looking someone in the eyes proved to be difficult. "I was sort of like a shell of a person and just didn't really have many life skills or self-confidence," Deegan said.

However, baking was something that always brought her joy as a child. One day while helping out in the neighborhood, Deegan picked up a handheld mixer and started baking. "My life was just out of control, but baking is such a controlled thing, where if you take the right steps and follow the directions, you'll get a pretty exact result," she said.

Deegan started bringing her homemade baked cookies to people's homes, which helped her reconnect with people. "Feeding people is such a universal love language," she said. However, she was still trying to figure out how to find a career at 27 years old. She had no real work experience and she couldn't put "quit drinking" on her resume.

Deegan's life shifted in 2015. Encouraged by her friends, she challenged herself to see if she could sell just one pie. She sold dozens! She began baking out of her tiny apartment and eventually launched an official business in 2017. She spent four years developing a pie crust cookie recipe, which has since become the bread and butter of her business. "People have been walking, running and lining up to get cookies, and it's just been so magical seeing that," she said.

When she needs more help, Deegan says she looks for anyone who is just excited to work, even if they don't have any experience. After her own struggle, she realized that the desire to work was better than having a certain skill set. And she became a second-chance employer, hiring women out of prison or the shelter system. "You just have to walk through the door and be ready, willing and able and excited to show up and work and you've got a job," Deegan told the reporter.

Be a true runner

For me, it was normal to feel lost at the inter-camp track. Four camps of kids were ready to lead their teams to a blue ribbon and win the day. Not me. I was too little to be the leader and too skinny to be an athlete. I knew this by the time I was twelve, because my camp counselors (辅导员) and the other kids reminded me of it every chance they got. So when our camp needed a fourth runner in the two-mile race around the lake, I knew I was no one's first choice.

I hid in the shade of a maple tree as they called the names of the runners, my body tensed as I heard a counselor call, "Fred! Where is Fred! He is in this race!" It was Barry. He spotted me under the tree. "Fred! We need a 12-year-old who hasn't been in other events to run the two-mile!"

He gave me a push towards the starting line. Having no confidence and trying to save myself from the shame of taking the last place as four camps watched, I pleaded with him.

"But I don't know the way around the lake!"

"You're in. Just follow Bill!" Barry smiled.

Bill was my friend and the fastest runner in our camp. And then Barry said, "When you make it to the last stretch (最后一程) on the field, just throw your head back and run. "

At the starting line, I stood next to Bill and trembled.

"On your mark… Get set…" The gun cracked and sixteen of us took off. I stayed close on Bill's heels, a little too close for Bill, I guess. He shouted at me, "Back off!"

I did. Two guys passed me, but I kept my eyes on Bill.

It was tiring. The distance was widening between Bill and me. We made the turn from the dusty road onto the muddy, wooded trail that would go around the lake back to the field. Through the trees, I saw Bill trip over a tree root and fall. A runner from another camp passed him.
