My mother used to ask me what the most important part of the body was. I got different answers at different ages.

When I was young, I thought sound was very important to us, so I said, "My ears, Mum. "But she shook her head and said no. Several years passed, and she asked me again. I believed that I got the right answer after thinking it over. So I told her，"Sight is very important to everyone, so it must be our eyes. "But she told me I was wrong. I tried many times after that, but her answer was always the same. Till last year, my grandma died. Everybody was crying, and everybody was hurt. My mom looked at me and asked me with tears in her eyes，"Do you know the answer now？"I was surprised when she asked me this question then. "My son, the answer is your shoulder. Everyone needs a shoulder to cry on. "

Finally, I realized (意识到)all she hoped is that I can have enough love and friends so that I will have a shoulder to cry on when I need it.

Rivers are one of our most important natural resources(资源). Many of the world's great cities are located on rivers, and almost every country has at least one river running through it that plays an important part in the lives of its people.
Since the beginning of history, people have used rivers for transportation. The longest one in the United States is the Mississippi. The lifeline of Egypt is the Nile. To the people of India, the Ganges is great, but it is also important for transportation; ships can travel along it for a thousand miles. Other great rivers are the Congo in Africa and the Mekong in southeastern Asia. The greatest of all for navigation（航海）, however, is the Amazon in Brazil（巴西）. It is so wide and so deep that large ships can go about two thousand miles up it.
Besides transportation, rivers give food to eat, water to drink, water for crops, and chances for fun. In order to increase the supply(供给) of water for crops, engineers sometimes build a dam (大坝)across a river and let a lake form behind the dam. Then people can use the water not only to irrigate(灌溉) their fields but also to make electricity for their homes and industries.
However, large cities and industries that are located on rivers often cause problems. As the cities grow in size and industries increase in number, the water in the rivers becomes polluted with chemicals and other materials. People are learning the importance, however, of doing more to keep their rivers clean if they want to enjoy the benefits of these natural resources.

    In some science fiction movies, evil robots refuse to die, no matter how hard people fight back.
    Now science fiction has become science fact. For the first time, scientists have made a robot that can take a beating and keep on going. Scientists from Cornell University made the robot, which looks like a spider with four legs.
    Until now, even the most advanced (先进的) robot was almost certain to break down when it was damaged (毁坏). That is because its computer inside simply doesn't know how to make the machine work after its shape has changed.
    To deal with this problem, the scientists put eight motors (发动机) and two sensors (传感器) that read how the machine is working. They all give signals to the machine's software. Using this information, the computer can then figure out the machine's shape at any moment.
    The new technology is a big advance in robot-making, scientists say, and it's far from scary. It may someday help scientists create better artificial (假的) arms and legs and give new freedom to people who lose them. It might also help scientists understand how people and animals figure out their own sense of place in space.
    “It has been difficult to design robots that can work well when the environment changes or when it's damaged,” says Olaf Sporns of Indiana University in US. “With this work, we are nearer to solving this problem.”

    I am a professor of sports and exercise so I often deal with nervousness in my research with sports people. Actually, most people experience nervousness at some time or another.
    If you are feeling anxious, my advice is to first find the cause or causes. Make s list of those things that are making you nervous and work out which ones you can do something about. Focus all of your efforts on managing the causes that you can control.
    Most people cannot tell the difference between controllable(可控制的) and uncontrollable causes, so things they can't control become a big reason for nervousness. Dealing with this is very important if people want to keep a healthy mind.
    Simply try to accept the uncontrollable causes of nervousness. You might be worried about the weather on a big day, an accident or an attack on the train, or perhaps just things that other people are doing at work. The results may be very important but there is still no use worrying because you can't control any of these things. Accept that you can't control everything. Once you understand this, it becomes easier not to worry.
    If a situation, such as swimming, is causing you to be anxious, try to face it as often as possible so that you can get used to it.
    It can often help to think about yourself doing the thing that make s you nervous—then close your eyes and imagine it going well. Imagine how the flight or job interview is going to happen so that you can get used to it. This will help you understand that the thing you fear most is probably not going to happen.

Can dolphins talk? Maybe they can't talk with words, but they talk with sounds. They show their feelings with sounds.

Dolphins travel in a group. We call a group of fish“a school(一群)。” They don't study, but they travel together. Dolphins are mammals(哺乳动物)，not fish, but they swim together like fish in a school.

Dolphins talk to the other dolphins in the school. They give information. They tell when they are happy or sad or afraid. They say” welcome” when a dolphin comes back to the school. They talk when they play.

They make a few sounds above water. They make many more sounds under water. People cannot hear these sounds because they are very, very high. Scientists make tapes of the sounds and study them.

Sometimes people catch a dolphin for a large aquarium(水族馆). People can watch the dolphins in a show. Dolphins don't like to be away from their school in an aquarium. They are sad and lonely.

There are many stories about dolphins. They help people. Sometimes they save somebody's life. Dolphins' meat is good, but people don't like to kill them. They say that dolphins bring good luck. Many people believe this.

The world is not hungry, but it is thirsty. It seems strange that nearly 3/4 of the Earth is covered with water while we say we are short of（短缺）water. Why? Because about 97% of water on the Earth is sea water which we can't drink or use for watering plants directly(直接地）. Man can only drink and use the 3%-the water that comes from rivers and lakes. And we can't even use all of that, because some of it has been polluted(污染）.

Now more water is needed. The problem is Can we avoid（避免）a serious water shortage later on? First, we should all learn how to save water. Secondly, we should find out the ways to reuse it. Scientists have always been researching in the field. Today, in most large cities water is used only once and then runs to the seas or rivers. But it can be used again. Even if(即使）every large city reused its water, there would not be enough. What can people turn to next?

The seas seem to have the best answer. There is a lot of water in the seas. All that needs to be done is get the salt out of the sea water. This is expensive, but it's already used in many parts of the world. Scientists are trying to find a cheaper way of doing it. So you see, if we can find a way out, we'll be in no danger of drying up.

Can you imagine a pair of shoes that could tie themselves? All you have to do is put them on and push a button. Well, this idea is becoming a reality. The shoe company Nike created the self-tying shoe! This idea first came from the film Back to the Future II, Nike has been working for years to create a shoe that can do this in real life. They have finally done it with Nike HyperAdapt 1.0.

So how does it work? According to Nike, the shoe is “powered by an underfoot-lacing mechanism(脚下系带装置) small motor that has the power to lace the shoes, All you have to do is put them on, and at first, the shoes are very loose(松的). But then you can push the "+" perfect fit for you. To take them off, all you have to do is push the "-" button, and the shoes will be easily off.

They haven't been widely released to the public yet, and the price of the shoes is quite high.
