Several Asian hospitals are doing experiments with tele-medicine. Tele-medicine is a technology that allows doctors to "see" patients without them being in the same place. This is made possible through high-speed communication networks(网络). At both ends of the line, the way of video-meeting lets them see and talk to each other. Blood pressure (血压) and body temperature are directly shown on computers.

    Tele-medicine is already in wide use in some places such as the United States and Germany. Among other uses, village doctors hold "consultations (会诊)"with far-away experts(专家). The experts can also help them during operations.

    Tele-medicine has been slow to reach Asia because of high costs besides other reasons. When things improve, this technology will develop very fast. Chinese University of Hong Kong's medical school has joined a big hospital in Beijing, and Thailand is building a tele-medicine station connecting 20 areas.

    Tele-medicine will do good to patients because doctors from different places can see them and give their medical advice. The help is quite important if the disease is an unusual one. It also helps spread medical knowledge among experts.

    As tele-medicine develops well, its costs will be lower and it will become very popular in the medical field.

    Did you hear the song called Heartbeat? It's very {#blank#}1{#/blank#} in the world. Zade Dirani released (发布) this song {#blank#}2{#/blank#} March 15^th 2018 to remember the seven years of war (战争) in Syria. In the song, one of the {#blank#}3{#/blank#} is Ansam. She is a ten-year-old girl. When she was born (出生), she couldn't see {#blank#}4{#/blank#}. But later people found she could sing very well. She sang the song Heartbeat with another 40 children. They all lost their parents in the war. In this song, children hope (希望) they can have a happy {#blank#}5{#/blank#} and there is no war in Syria. But many people lost their homes {#blank#}6{#/blank#} the war broke out (爆发) on April 13^th 2018 again. Everybody hopes the war can {#blank#}7{#/blank#}. We hope all the kids have food to eat. They can live with their parents. They can study in the classroom. They can sing under the trees and swim in the sea.

    We are lucky to live in a great {#blank#}8{#/blank#}, China. Now we have food to eat. We are {#blank#}9{#/blank#} in the classroom. We {#blank#}10{#/blank#} reading books in the library. So we should study hard and love our parents and friends.

Making new friends can be difficult, especially if you are a child in a new neighborhood. It may seem like everyone else has a friend to sit with or to talk to. Don't worry; if you're a nice person, you can make friends too. 

Step 1. Decide what kind of people you want to play with. Choose (选择) wisely, because you'll probably become like them. Pick children that are nice to other people. 

Step 2. Smile and say something nice to the person you want to be your friend. If you like a person's shoes or think a girl is good at basketball, just say so. Everyone likes compliments. 

Step 3. Join clubs and teams. If you like sports, try out for some. Put yourself in situations where you are around many children that enjoy the same activities as you. It's easier to develop (发展) friendships when you have the same hobbies. 

Step 4. Ask questions whenever it's appropriate. People love to talk about themselves. Be careful not to ask too personal questions or ask someone too many questions. But asking one or two questions shows you're interested in him or her. 

Driving an electric car is good for the environment(环境). But is that true?

A University recently studied emissions (排放物) from different cars. The   scientists found that sometimes electric cars were worse for the environment than other cars. Surprising Well, please pay attention to the word " sometimes". Electric cars should be clean. The problem lies in th power(动力). If the power comes from the wind or the sun, electric cars will be good far the environment But if the power is from coal(煤炭), it will bring a co ntrary situation. According to the study, emission from these electric cars kill about 3,000 people a year. Compared with it, emissions from other cars makes about 880 people's death a year.

In France, more than half of the power comes from nuclear(原子核的) stations. Electric cars there should be as clean as they can be. But in many other countries, coal is still the main source(来源) of electricity. India, for example, needs coal for 61% of its power. Only 2% of its electricity comes from nuclear sources. In countries like India, electric cars are not clean at all!

All in all, sellers are not lying(说谎) when they say electric cars are clean, but they are right only when the power is also clean.
