Me After the"Double Reduction"Policy

Zu Chongzhi was one of the greatest mathematicians (数学家) in ancient China. He was born during the Northern and Southern Dynasties. Froma young age, Zu(teach) natural science，astronomy (天文学)，math and so on. The little boy was (interest) in all of these subjects，(especial) in math. 

Zu was best known for his calculation(计算)of pi(π). According to the record, he did all the work using nothing but wooden sticks. 

took him lots of time to work out the value—531415926 and 31415927. No one at that time was able to do better than Zu. And now the achievement is still praised by people around the world. In order to remember Zu, some mathematicians suggest(call) pi "Zu Lv".

Zu was successful not only in math, but also in astronomy. He worked out that a year should be 36524281481 days long and created the Daming Calendar. , government officials at that time did not agree with Zu. The great mathematician never saw his calendar put use. Almost ten years after his(die),the new calendar was finally accepted. 

Zu was an inventor, too. He once made a vehicle (车辆) carried a pointer (指针). No matter how the vehicle turned, the pointer always pointed to the south. 

Derek Rabelo was born in Brazil in 1992. His father called him Derek after a famous 1 star, Derek Ho. Derek's father wanted Derek to become a surfer, too, but there was a 2 : unfortunately, Derek was born 3 . His father's dream to see his son surf seemed 4 !

When Derek was 17, his father told him about his 5 . From that moment on, Derek tried his best to become a surfer. 6 went to the beach every day and started taking surfing 7 with a coach. Derek kept trying and 8 , he learned to surf.

Derek explains that 9 he can't see, he understands the noises that the waves make and can 10 them when they are coming. He says every part of a wave makes a different noise, 11 he knows which direction to surf in.

In 2012, he flew to Hawaii to surf one o the most challenging and dangerous12 in the world. Local surfers were very 13 to see the confident young man surf the huge wave with no problem 14 .

A film producer decided to make a film about him. Beyond Sight tells Derek's inspirational story and teaches us that nothing is impossible if you 15 yourself!

Plastic brings us convenience and pollution as well. It's in our food and drinks, in the clothes we wear and even in the air we breathe.

Some very tiny pieces of plastic are called microplastics（微塑料）. The largest microplastics can be seen directly.  What should we do then?

Any time plastic boxes are heated, microplastics can get into your food. If you can't avoid using plastic boxes, try not to heat food in them. Use a glass or metal cup instead of a plastic one. Researchers have found that bottled water has more microplastics than tap water. So if you like drinking coffee, hot milk or other hot drinks, remember to use a glass or metal cup.

Since plastic is everywhere, researchers suggest that we should be careful with possible microplastics in life. They may be from baby toys, pens, and even the phones we use every day.    

A. What's worse, it's everywhere.

B. Avoid heating food in plastic boxes.

C. We should drink more bottled water.

D. Use plastic products widely in our daily life.

E. All in all, we should use plastic products properly.

F. But many of them are small enough to be around us without being seen.

G. Also, the heat of your drinks will encourage microplastics to get into your drinks.

Not getting enough sleep is bad for health. Depending on the research from the scientists, people who don't get enough sleep are less willing to socialize (社交) with others. They are simply too tired to go out.  

The researchers did a small study. They tested 18 young people who had good sleep after a sleepless night. The participants watched videos of people with neutral (无倾向性的) expressions walking towards them. When the person or the video got too "close" to them, they pushed a button to stop the video.  

The participants kept the person at a distance of 60% further if they hadn't got enough sleep. They felt that their personal space was being invaded (侵占). But when the participants got a good night's sleep, they allowed the person to get much closer to them.  

The result shows that the less sleep you get, the less you want to socialize with others. In turn, other people may think you are strange and stay away from you. So if you want to be a more sociable (喜欢与人交往的) and popular person, sleeping well might help. 

As we all know, too much trash is a big problem for our environment. A woman in Indonesia's Java island has come up with a great idea—lending books to children in exchange for trash.

Raden Roro Hendarti, nearly 50 years old, is a librarian in Muntang village. She started a "trash library", hoping to make children read more as well as make them realize the importance of environment protection. Each weekday, Raden puts all kinds of books on the back of her three-wheeler (三轮车) and rides to Muntang village. There, children line up to exchange plastic cups, bags and other trash for books from Raden's mobile library. After finishing the exchange, Raden carries back all the trash.

In the library where Raden works, there are thousands of books. Every time she shows up, children run to her "trash library". They all carry trash bags, and Raden's three-wheeler quickly fills with trash as the books fly out. Raden collects about 100 kg of trash each week. It is then sorted out (分类) and sent for recycling or sale. She is happy that children spend less time on online games because of the books.

Raden plans to take the mobile library service to neighboring areas as well. She says, "We all should take care of our trash in order to fight climate (气候) change and save the earth. "

Peter was the richest in town. He had earned himself a bad name because he was too proud of his money. One day, Peter became blind. Only by doing a cornea transplant surgery (角膜移植手术) could he see again, but there was no donor(捐献者). Peter had to wait in the hospital sadly. 

One afternoon, Peter wanted to sit in the sun, so he felt his way for the little square before the hospital. He raised his head to enjoy the sunshine. However, he saw nothing but the whole darkness. 

Just as Peter felt hopeless, someone hit him hard all of a sudden. That angered Peter, so he shouted loudly, "Don't you have eyes? Don't you see who you hit! I'm Peter!"

The answer was from a little boy, "I'm sorry, sir. I didn't notice, please forgive me!"

Peter changed his mind and ordered, "I can forgive you, but you must talk with me!"

The boy began. "How beautiful! The grass is green, the sky is blue, the flowers are coming out everywhere, and the little trees are also very lovely. The clouds are floating…"

As he was listening, Peter began to envy (嫉妒) that boy. Suddenly, he shouted, "Oh, my God, the little boy is so poor, nothing but a pair of eyes! Why do you give him light?"

"You are wrong!" came the voice of a lady, "My son is too poor to have eyes. What he just described is what I told him!" Peter sat on the square silently, tears coming up in his eyes.

Since then, the city charity（慈善机构）would receive a great deal of money every year from the richest person, Peter.
