Roberta, Peter and Phyllis lived in a large red-brick house with in London. Roberta was the eldest. Father worked hard in a government office. He was never angry. Mother was almost at home, ready to play with the children, and read the interesting story to them.

These three lucky children always had everything they needed: pretty clothes, good fires, a lovely playroom and a dog called James. They had a happy life, but they did not know the pretty happy life in the large house was over.

The change came quite suddenly.

Peter had his tenth birthday. After dinner, Peter showed Father the toy train. Father looked it over and promised to play with it on Saturday.

At that moment, two men came to see Father. Minutes passed. Father’s voice came out from the study, loud and angry.

More time passed. Then Mother came in and said quietly, “Father’s been called away—on business.”

A week after their father went away. Mother said, “Now, we’re going to move to the countryside. It’s a little white house, called Three Chimneys.”

The family started putting things away: clothes, bowls, candles and also tables and chairs.

“We seem to be taking all the ugly things,” said Roberta.

“We’ll need them in the new house,” said Mother. “We’ve got to play at being poor for a bit.”

Peter said happily, “I do like moving! I wish we moved once a month.”

Mother laughed and said, “I don’t like moving!”

As Mother turned away, Roberta saw her face. She never forgot it.

“Oh, Mother,” she said, “how I love you! You are brave enough to laugh when you’re feeling like that!”

Then they took a train to the countryside. No one knew how long they had been in the train when Mother woke them up.

They stood in the cold night air on the dark platform. At that moment they didn’t know what the train, the railways and the station would mean to them. They didn’t know they were going to be the railway children and have a very different life with the railway later.

It’s said that cats are not just pets to us all these years. They are, in fact, learning from their owners and taking them as models. Scary, huh?

A new study from the University of Messina shows that indoor cats who live closely to their owners copy the lives of their owners. For example, they sleep at the same time and eat at the same time. Just like a parent for a child, the same is true for a cat owner and his cat.

Many owners think their cats are as family members, so they spend much time with cats, hoping to give the best care and love for their cats. This is one of reasons the cats learn from their owner’s actions.

Another reason is that cats are clever animals with a long memory. Jane Brunt, director of the Catalyst Council, told Discovery News. “Cats watch us and notice our actions, knowing where their food is and what time to eat meals, where the washing areas are and how to open the cupboard door that’s closed.”

A new study also shows that cats understand 25—35 basic men’s words, such as food, eat, sit, no, stay, and stand. If owners train a cat to learn these words, cats will got closer to them. But in fact, cats can’t understand our ‘meows’.

So try to do better when you are in front of cats. If you spend a lot of time searching the kitchen, your cat will copy you and take food to its bowl for the night meal, too. That’s why cat owners and cats overweight rates often seem to synchronize.

Next time you reach for your kitchen, think twice. If your cat is watching, maybe she will overeat as well.

Almost every Chinese person can recite the two lines of the famous poem:" Every grain on the plate comes from hard work(谁知盘中餐，粒粒皆辛苦)." But sadly, many of us don't actually get the real meaning of these lines: Don't waste food.

A CCTV program, News One Plus One, reported that food Chinese people throw away every year is enough to feed 200 million people for a year.

Do we have too much food? No, according to the UN World Food Program, there were 925 million hungry people around the world in 2010, especially in developing countries. Six million children die of hunger every year.

Chinese people are well known for being generous(慷慨的). Many even feel that they lose face if their guests have eaten all the food on the table.

Luckily, a number of people have realized the importance of saving food. Last November, Li Hong, a waitress in a restaurant in Nanjing, got fired(开除)because she took some leftover(剩余的)food home for her son. Many people stood by her side and agreed that it was not right to waste food.

What should we do in our daily life to waste less food? Here are some tips:

◆Do not order too much in a restaurant. Only order what you want to eat. If you cannot eat all the food you ordered, take the rest of it home.

◆Don't be too picky(挑剔的)about food. Some food may not taste great. But your body needs it.

◆Keep an eye on what food you have at home. Don't buy too much, especially for vegetables and fruit.

If someone asks you to describe yourself, what would you say? It can be difficult at times to think about your personal traits (特点) or characters in an objective (客观的) way.

Our characters (性格) mainly make up who we are, and are about how we are thought of by other people around us. Here are some common characters. Believe it or not, some of them are negative (消极的). Let’s have a look at them.

Of course, there are also many other words to describe our characters. And it is impossible (不可能) that a person has only a single one. You can get to know what kind of person you are by asking yourself some searching questions like “When and where are you the happiest?”, “ What kind of friend do you like best?”, “ If you win the lottery (彩票), how will you spend the money?”

You can change your negative characters by taking active steps in your daily life to become a better person. Taking up a hobby is a great way. Sports can help you learn teamwork. Arts can make you more patient (耐心). Even just reading a book can push (促使) you to be better. Why not try some of them?

Shortly after the Shenzhou XIII crew (全体组员) returned to Earth in April, the door of Tiangong space station opened again! On June 5, it welcomed another three Chinese astronauts—Chen Dong, Liu Yang and Cai Xuzhe.

This is China’s Shenzhou XIV mission, the ninth manned spaceflight (载人航天飞行) for China, according to China Daily. The astronauts will stay 400 kilometers above the Earth for six months. During the Shenzhou XIII mission on Tiangong, astronauts tested many key technologies. This was to help the proper “construction team (施工队)”, the Shenzhou XIV crew, to complete the bulking of Tiangong.

The crew have a busy schedule (时间表). They will work with ground controllers to connect the Wentian and Mengtian space labs (实验室) with the Tianhe core module (核心舱). Wentian will be launched (发射) in July and Mengtian in October. Astronauts will use a robotic arm to move the labs to their final position. “There will likely be technical uncertainties that the astronauts may have to deal with,” said Pang Zhihao, who worked at the China Academy of Space Technology. Once completed, the station will form a T-shaped structure.

The crew will also enter the two space labs for the first time. They will install equipment (安装仪器) and do scientific experiments. They will also do two to three spacewalks. We can also look forward to fun lectures given by the astronauts!

When their mission is completed around the end of this year, the Tiangong space station will become fully operational. The crew will meet another three astronauts from the Shenzhou XV mission. The six astronauts will work together for five to 10 days inside Tiangong, before the Shenzhou XIV crew fly back to Earth in December.

The Tiangong space station is expected to operate (工作) for up to 15 years, officials said, noting that it will also be open to foreign astronauts.

In a world where technology is king, it is getting more and more difficult to keep up with the ‘R’s — VR., AR. MR’ (iPhone) XR and the list goes on.

Many people have trouble telling the differences between augmented-reality (AR) and virtual reality (VR). AR and VR mean that we experience something that isn’t there but it feels like it is. As a result, it is easy for users to be blown away and wonder what is real and what is not. In short, at the heart of AR and VR are two very similar technologies. Both offer experiences to users. most widely used in areas such as online shopping and as part of psychological treatments.

▲ The main difference lies in the way of transport. Simply put, VR ‘transports’ the user to another world instead of the real one. It uses computer technology to create a 3D environment. Users not only view a screen in front of them, but also use as many senses as possible, such as vision, hearing, touch, even smell. Imagine opening your eyes and seeing a new world created by the computer all around you: you can move in this environment and even communicate with it. That’s what VR is like. For example, VR has the power to make users feel as if they are falling. So sometimes while playing games, users become nervous and even scared.

AR, does not shut out the real world, but adds digital graphics to a live view often by using the camera on a smartphone. Users would not be “transported’ to another world but instead, they would see graphics created by computers with what they see in real life. It does not, change the whole view of what users see, unlike VR.

Thanks to new technology and successful games, AR and VR users already have a lot of choices. AR and VR are both powerful technologies which are still relatively new to many users. However, they have already begun to shake things up in the gaming world. The worlds of AR and VR aren’t just here; they’re getting bigger and better by the day.

On May 22, 2021, China lost two great stars of science, Yuan Longping and Wu Mengchao. The news made Chinese people very sad.

Yum Longping was famous as the “Father of hybrid Rice (杂交水稻)”. He studied rice in his whole life. In the 1970s, he developed a hybrid strain of rice. It could feed 70 million more people a year. Today about 20% of the world’s rice comes from the hybrid rice. Yuan said he had a dream. In his dream, his hybrid rice plant was taller than men. He sat under it to enjoy the cool of its shade (背阴处).

Wu Mengchao was the founder of hepatobiliary surgery (肝胆外科) in China. For a time, the success rate (成功率) of hepatic surgery (肝脏手术) was only 16%, Wu raised it to over 98%! He saved many people’s lives. Even into his nineties, he was still working at the operating table.

These two top scientists have left us. But we can find them in the sky. They each have a planet which has been named after them. They are the brightest stars in our heart.
