Last year, I went to Beijing Qizhi Special Education School for community service (社区服务). Before we took the bus, my friend asked me a question, "Why are you here?" I did not know how to answer the question.
The school was not far from my school, but it looked like it was in a different world. A group of children were waiting for us. A boy walked toward me. He held my hands and pulled me to the ground. I kissed the earth and tasted nature.
I could not understand what he was doing at first, then I was very angry. Though I was very angry, I controlled my anger.
A teacher stopped this awkward (尴尬的) silence when she shouted at the boy. "What are you doing right here, right now?" she said. "You will never see your mum again if you keep doing this. Now, say sorry!" "Sorry," he cried fearfully and nervously. I said nothing, but I realized something about this child. After lunch I asked the teacher for information about the child's parents.
She said that the child was very different from other students because of an illness. His family could not afford to treat him. He needed the kindness of his family, but they had abandoned him. So he depended on the support from the ' teachers and community service workers like us.
I suddenly realized I could answer the question my friend asked me at the beginning of the day.
Community service workers help others and make everyone feel better. There are so many people in the world that need help. Playing with lonely children may not make a big difference. But it can light a corner in the children's hearts, making them know they are loved by people.
High-tech Pollution Protection Technology company Dyson has created headphones, with a purifying visor (面罩) to help people avoid polluted air. Called the Dyson Zone, it combines noise-canceling headphones with a visor that sits just in front of the nose and mouth, providing users with filtered (过滤的) air. The device is designed to fight against air and sound pollution. Watch Your Stress When we feel stressed, our bodies produce something called cortisol (皮质的). Researchers from the University of California, US, recently developed a smart watch. It can monitor cortisol levels in your sweat (汗液) and give real- time information. The watch uses a special thin film. The film collects tiny drops of sweat. It can tell you when you have a high stress level. Remember to take a deep breath. ____ Do you like watching dandelion seeds (蒲公英种子) fly in the wind? This childhood pleasure is giving scientists some new ideas. A team from the University of Washington, US, created small, solar-powered Sensors (传感器). They fly like dandelion seeds and measure things like temperature and light. Their short "hairs" help slow their fall to the ground. |
