The Fan Museum

To be the most fan-tastic of all London museums, Greenwich's Fan Museum has an obvious head start. The collection dates back to the tenth century and the displays change throughout the year. According to the Victorian "language of fans", drawing a fan across the cheek means "I love you". Practice it, because it'll be your preferred method of communication.

Grant Museum of Zoology

Be warned: UCL's museum of zoology isn't for the faint of heart. The bones of an elephant head and a mole (鼹鼠) jaw are among the exhibits that discourage a total chicken. Your hair stands on end, yes, but you'll learn some fascinating stuff here. It's the Noah's Ark equivalent (等同物) of London's numerous medical museums.

The Magic Circle

If you've got a trick or two up your sleeve, this is the right place. Located at the Magic Circle Headquarters in Euston, its prized possessions include Harry Houdini's handcuffs (手铐) and the belongings of legendary magician Jean Eugene Robert-Houdin. Sadly, you can't explore it whenever you please — it can only be visited as part of a public event.

The Cinema Museum

This Kennington museum only opens its doors for guided tours if you book in advance. But believe us, it's worth all the trouble. There's a great collection of posters, projectors, cinema carpets, fan magazines and souvenirs, plus more than 17 million feet of film on exhibition.

One pleasant New-year morning, Edward rose, and washed and dressed himself very quickly.   He wanted to be first to wish everyone a happy New Year. He looked in every room, and shouted the words of welcome. He ran into the street, to repeat them to those he might meet. When he came back, his father gave him two bright, new silver dollars. His face lighted up as he took them. He had wished for a long time to buy some pretty books that he had seen at the bookstore.

He left the house with a light heart, intending to buy the books. As he ran down the street, he saw a poor German family, the father, mother, and three children shivering with cold.

"I wish you a happy New Year," said Edward, as he was happily passing by. The man shook his head. "You do not belong to this country?" said Edward. The man again shook his head, for he could not understand or speak the English language. But he pointed to his mouth, and to the children, as if to say, "These little ones have had nothing to eat for a long time." Edward quickly understood that these poor people were in a very difficult situation and required some help. He took out his dollars, and gave one to the man, and the other to his wife.

How their eyes sparkled with gratitude! They said something in their language, which doubtless meant, "We thank you a thousand times, and will remember you in our prayers."

When Edward came home, his father asked what book he had bought. He hung his head a moment, but quickly looked up.   "I have bought no books," said he, "I gave my money to some poor people, who seemed to be very hungry."

Paragraph 1:

"I think I can wait for my books till next New Year," continued he.

Paragraph 2:

Hearing what his father said and holding the books his father gave him in his arms, Edward felt he was the happiest boy in the world.

Not only (be) Canada a broad and beautiful country stretching from the Atlantic to the Pacific Ocean, but it is also one of the most ethnically diverse nations in the world.

There is great diversity in geography in Canada. To the east of the Pacific coast rise the grand Rocky Mountains, are home to high peaks and deep valleys. One truly unique scenic spot in Canada is the mighty Niagara Falls with water (rush) over its edge. Besides its geographical diversity, Canada's many rural areas and urban centers reflect the diversity of (it) residents. It is thought some of Canada's earliest settlers crossed the Bering Strait by means of a land bridge. The first Europeans also started (settle) in some of the eastern provinces centuries ago. About one out of five people in Canada's population is foreign-born. Therefore, (expose) to these cultural differences, you may feel going through time and space. You can participate the celebrations of the Chinese New Year, or you may take tea in the Dr Sun Yat-Sen Classical Chinese Garden in Vancouver.

From the towering mountain peaks to the depths of the forests to the urban centers, Canada's geographical (wonder), ethnic groups and their cultures make it unique place to live and visit.

My early4 about computers helped lead me to the job I have today. So whenever I see kids becoming5 about an interest, I try to encourage them. It's good to be curious. I also think it's good to look for6 and to try new ways of doing things.

At one of my first jobs, I learnt this lesson through7. I was then sixteen, and got a8 with the Houston Post, selling newspaper subscriptions (订阅) over the telephone. During my first few weeks, I figured out that most people who wanted to9 the newspaper were either moving or getting married. So I did some10. I found out that a lot of that information is11 available to anyone. Once I learnt how to get those names and addresses, I sent out offers to buy the newspaper. My experiment was a12! Within my first month on the job, I became the top salesperson.

It was13 a matter of finding an opportunity and trying a new way of doing something. Kids have14 approaches to things, and they often come up with great new ideas. When you pursue your interests and follow your dreams, a lot can happen. You can do big things, and you shouldn't be15 by people who tell you otherwise.

Sports do more than build physical strength — they develop children's empathy that lasts a lifetime.

The benefits of teamwork.

Team sports teach children to work together toward a common goal. Whether setting up a goal in soccer or working together in a relay race, kids learn that success depends on teamwork. It helps them respect different skills and viewpoints, building an empathetic attitude.

The power of shared experiences.

From winning a championship to losing a close game, sports create emotional connections. These moments teach kids to support each other through highs and lows, strengthening their ability to empathize.

Role models in sports.

When a professional player helps an opponent (对手) up or praises a teammate, young fans notice it. Many athletes also support social causes, showing that empathy is beyond the game. Children tend to look up to these people and learn to care about others. They also make empathy a part of their own behavior.

Healthy competition teaches respect for opponents. Kids see the hard work others put in and learn to appreciate their efforts. Winning with politeness or losing gracefully strengthens fairness and empathy. For example, a tennis player might praise their opponent after a match, putting respect above competition.

The importance of community involvement (参与).

For example, they usually join seasonal charity events or neighborhood projects. These experiences show kids how to do their part for something larger than themselves. Playing with people from different backgrounds also widens their viewpoints, helping them understand and empathize with different life experiences.

A. Lessons learned through competition.

B. Athletes often model empathy in action.

C. The influence of personal achievements.

D. They begin to appreciate different strengths and roles.

E. Local sports teams often take part in community activities.

F. After a tough loss, teammates might share lessons or offer encouragement.

G. Empathy improves in environments where kids feel safe to express themselves.

The digital twin of the Yellow River uses various technologies, including big data, artificial intelligence, and the internet of things. Instruments set up along the river collect and transfer information to the center. Based on the information, a 3D model of the river is presented on the computer screen. It's like the Yellow River has a twin that reflects its real conditions.

One big breakthrough in the river's digital management is "smart stones". According to Wang Qin, a lead researcher at the Information Center of Yellow River in Henan Province, a smart stone is a water-proof stone-shaped instrument with chips, a battery, and a signal transmitter. They are buried in important dike (堤坝) locations to record and report the movement of dike stones. "Upon feeling movement of the dike stones, the smart stone sends an alarm to the center for quick response," Wang said.

"In the past, researchers had to learn the conditions of the dike on the spot by themselves, putting their lives at risk," said Zhao Xiao, an official from the Information Center of Yellow River in Henan Province. "Now the smart stones can do this for us, more safely, quickly, and accurately."

And in the sky, drones (无人机) are flying. On the routes designed by engineers, the drones become expert monitors of the river, looking at its dikes and flood prevention projects. According to Shen Lin from the Yellow River Conservancy Commission, thanks to the drones, researchers at the command center can get first-hand photos and information. "Researchers then update the 3D model according to the changes the drones reported. The new updated model helps us test our floodwater release plans in case we ever need to batten down the hatches (未雨绸缪)," said Shen.

Under the water and up in the sky, intelligence systems are helping to protect the Yellow River Basin on all fronts. According to the Ministry of Water Resources, in the future, we can expect to see the construction of an even more comprehensive digital system for this important river.

Launched in January 2011, this messaging, social media and mobile payment app today has more than 1 billion individual users. People use it for everything, from applying for a business license to booking a hospital appointment to keeping up with family and friends, shopping and paying bills — activities that are part and parcel of our everyday life.

When it was first introduced, WeChat was only an app supporting voice, video, picture and text messages between two persons or among a group. But today it has become ubiquitous.

In the past, people carried their wallet and keys with them wherever they went; today, a smart phone with WeChat installed is all they need in daily life. Its functions like Moments and mini programs and the official WeChat accounts of government agencies and companies have made communication and public services accessible and convenient like never before.

WeChat is also widely used by enterprises (公司). Figures from Tencent show there are around 15 million WeChat official accounts, which enjoy 5 billion followers. Most businesses use their WeChat groups as a standard marketing kit. This has greatly reduced advertising, marketing and communication costs.

However, there are concerns about the downsides of WeChat, such as addiction among primary school children. Equally serious is the misuse of WeChat for cheating or other crimes. However, it has to be kept in mind that these fallouts are not really the fault of WeChat, but due to the misuse of the app.

If we learn to temper our use of messaging apps with prudence (谨慎) and pragmatism (实用主义), we could be looking forward to yet new conveniences and experience in this decade with the rapid development of 5G technology and artificial intelligence. Ultimately, the choice is ours, whether to use WeChat or any other new invention, wisely or wantonly (不受约束地).

That said, initial space settlements won't be as comfortable as those on the Earth. Tough inflatable (可充气的) tent-like structures that could house the astronauts would need to be protected from harmful radiation. For power sources, NASA researchers are looking into solar power technology. Although nights on the Moon can last 334 hours, researchers hope to build an energy storage system to keep as much energy as possible when the sun shines on the Moon.

One outline for space settlement published by NASA says that average people, not just specially-trained astronauts, could one day live on spacecraft that orbit the Earth. Given the recent breakthroughs in lower-cost reusable space vehicles that are fueling plans for the space tourism industry, NASA predicts that such livable spacecraft could be in existence in 50 years.

As with the lunar base, the main problem attached to livable spacecraft is money. Private flights into space orbit have cost $20 million for one person. In addition to the problem of getting there, migrating to outer space means a huge risk. Humans can't breathe freely outside of the Earth's atmosphere, and the amount of solar heat can kill us. We would have to create well-protected areas with oxygen to survive.

We'll have a better idea in the next decade about the possibility of these space dreams turning into reality.

Nahanni National Park is located in Northwest Territories. The Virginia Falls that is twice the height of Niagara is worth the trip to the national park. There are about 42 species of mammals and 180 species of birds found in the park. What's more, you can plan a canoe or raft trip that'll take you through the park.

Jasper National Park is the largest national park in the Canadian Rockies, Summer and winter activities differ in Jasper National Park, but no one is better than the other. If you think sightseeing is impossible in the winter, think again! Take pictures of frozen waterfalls and get deeply impressed. If you visit Canada during the summer, you can look forward to hiking, horseback riding through the mountains, fishing and rafting. You should also be on the lookout for bears, wolves and moose (麋鹿) during guided wildlife tours.

The Yoho National Park is accessible by road and enjoyable all year round. Yoho takes its name from an expression of great respect and wonder. Give yourself a full day to take in the roadside views and enjoy some easy walking. The Kicking Horse River makes a fine morning destination, with a stop at Natural Bridge.
