African girl Joelle was raised on a steady (持续不断的) diet of Disney princesses. Whenever she felt sad, her parents would play a video of Snow White, Cinderella, or Beauty and the Beast. It was always the quickest way to make her happy.
There was one princess who Joelle admired above all others. "Ariel (the Little Mermaid) fought to meet the expectations she had for her own life," Joelle says. "I like her because she desired a world she wasn't a part of."
Joelle knew that kind of desire well. Since the moment she had first begun to watch Disney cartoons, she had dreamed of creating something similar. But her parents told her that the idea wasn't practical. The girl was made to realize who created the cartoons she loved. Most of them were men and were white. That's also why there were few African characters.
Two decades later, however, Joelle had managed to create her own happy ending. "I realized that if I wanted to see myself in comics, I had to be the one to draw them," she says. Her most popular work, The Diary of Ebene Data, follows the adventures of an African teenager in Europe.
Last year, Joelle helped to organize an online exhibition of African comics. "When you say Marvel or manga, people around the world immediately know what you are talking about," she says. "We want the same to be true for African comic artists."
Like Ariel, Joelle fought to meet the expectations she had for herself. She has set a great example to young artists in Africa.
①often included African characters
②were mostly created by white men
③inspired her to create comics herself
④were sometimes based on African stories

Green hydrogen 绿色氢
When we bum hydrogen for energy, the only by-product (副产品)is water. If s safe for the environment. But the process of producing hydrogen is bad for the environment. "Green" hydrogen might be the solution.
Green hydrogen is produced by using machines to split (分开) water into its two most basic element hydrogen and oxygen(氧). In the past, this process took so much electricity that it didn't make sense to do it. But now, we have more efficient machines so that we can produce hydrogen in a cleaner and more environmentally-friendly way.
Spatial computing 空间计算
Some of you might be familiar with augmented reality(增强现实), or AR. Computers use AR to put a virtual lager(虚拟层次) on top of the real world, such as when you use an app to control the lights your home. A new kind of computing called spatial computing will combine AR with the internet of things to make daily life at home even more automated (自动的).
With spatial computing, it is possible to make a digital (数字的) "map" of an environment, such as your home or a hospital. Using this map, computers can "see" what's happening in the real environment and change it properly. For example, your home's computer could turn up the heat if it sees that your body temperature is low.

Do you use Wikipedia(维基百科) to find information about people, places, things and events? Have you ever wondered who writes all the information? The website is actually run by thousands of everyday people, as well as computers that can automatically update (自动更新) certain pages. You can even write something on the page if you want to.
Of course, it means that somebody can write incorrect information on the page. That does happen sometimes, but usually somebody else corrects the information quickly.
Wikipedia has counted how many times each page has been edited (编辑) this year and one page stood out. "Deaths in 2020" was edited 18,230 times. That is likely because lots of well-known people died in 2020.
The 2020 US presidential election (总统选举) was followed by people around the world. It was also a popular page to edit on Wikipedia. The "Donald Trump" page had nearly 9,000 edits and took seconds pot. The third most-edited page had something to do with Joseph Biden, and the election itself took the fourth spot.
Pages about movies, sports, world events like COVID-19, natural disasters (灾难), musicians and artists all appeared in the top 25 most-edited list. The different pages that were edited show how people, with totally different interests are still all looking for information.
Nowadays, many parents don't require kids to help with household chores. However, kids will finally grow up some day, leaving their parents and facing the challenges in life. Parents may not be able to solve every' problem for them.
⑴Instead, they should have enough life skills to deal with the problems that appear in their life. Actually, young children in primary school should learn to take care of themselves in daily life. Older children should help parents do housework. ⑵对年长的孩子来说,学会与人沟通交流也是有非常必要的。As for students in middle school, they should develop qualities such as being responsible and strong.
This is what our country tries to do-helping more students gain working spirit and taking actions to improve hardworking spirit education (劳动教育) among students of different ages. ⑶Actually, the government has been stressing the importance of hardworking spirit education in the past few years. But this has been ignored in recent years. As a result, some teenagers don't cherish the fruits of hard work and are not interested in working hard.
"⑷学校和家庭在教育学生怎样努力工作方面发挥着重要作用。" a government officer says. Primary and middle schools should provide students with hardworking spirit classes every week. ⑸Schools can also hold activities to give students real-world work experience. For example, schools can teach children how to plant trees on Tree Planting Day. As children's first teachers, parents should also encourage children to learn how to do chores at home. Students should master one or two life skills every year like cooking, washing their own clothes and tidying their rooms.
