How green are you？Do you know how to be green？

    We all need a healthy environment, but we produce waste every day and it does harm to our environment. Though we are young, we can still do something to help. In fact, even the simplest everyday activities can make a real difference to the environment. Here are some ideas for you.

    Reduce

    Reduce means" use less". Don't waste things. This saves money and reduces pollution and waste going into the environment. Before we buy something new, think whether it is really necessary﹣or maybe the old one will be just as good! When we do buy things, choose local products if possible, and try not to buy too many things from abroad.

    Reuse

    Reuse means" use again". Use things for as long as possible. When we buy things, make sure that they last a long time. We should look after them so that they will last, and we should repair them if we can instead of throwing them away and buying new ones. Don't use a paper cup of a paper bag. It's better to use a china cup and a lunch box because you can use them again.

    Recycle

    Recycle means" change things into something else". Though it takes energy to change something into something else, it's better than throwing things away or burning them. Find out what can be recycled in your neighborhood and take part in recycling programmes. We should also buy products made from recycled materials, such as recycled paper, to help save trees.

    So please remember these three words: reduce, reuse and recycle.

An "air taxi" seems like science fiction, but believe it or not, you'll be able to take one in the near future.

On February 27, an eVTOL aircraft completed {#blank#}1{#/blank#} first test flight (飞行) in Guangdong. The whole trip took only about 20 minutes from Shenzhen to Zhuhai. The flight will provide a faster choice for people to travel {#blank#}2{#/blank#} two cities.

The eVTOL aircraft {#blank#}3{#/blank#} like a small plane. But unlike a plane, it doesn't need a long runway. This new aircraft is {#blank#}4{#/blank#} powered by electricity. It can fly for 250 kilometers on a single charge (充电). It can carry up to five people at a {#blank#}5{#/blank#}of up to 200 kilometers per hour. If everything goes well, it hopes to start carrying passengers in 2026.

①Hobbies are great ways to spend your time. Some hobbies can even change the way you see the world. Let's take painting as an example.

②When you're painting, you should pay attention to the colour. Think for a moment about what colour clouds are. Did you think white? Take a closer look at them next time. Clouds are mostly white, but the colours also include black, grey, yellow, pink and even blue. It depends on so many factors(因素), like what time of day you are looking at them, the kind of clouds or the angle (角度) you're looking at them. At sunset, you'll see many colours in clouds but you won't see at mid-afternoon.

③Painting is also a great way to notice shapes(形状). One of the easiest ways to paint faces or objects is to break them down into their relative shapes and combine them together. Everything in the world can be broken down into things like circles, squares and triangles. It's like putting pieces of a puzzle together as you're creating your painting.

④If you take up painting, you'll see more colours and shapes in the world. You'll notice small influences(影响) of colours in the evening and will be able to break anything down into their relative shapes. So everything is more beautiful than ever. In this way, hobbies introduce us to a new world.

I Like Sports

This term, we have P. E. every day. I'm very happy because I like sports very much. 

Inventions are very important and they can easily change our life. The followings are some great inventions. 

①What will you do if you see a cockroaeh(蟑螂) ? Quite a few people are very afraid of it, so they may shout for help or try to kill it. Next time you see it, you may need to think twice before killing it.

②There were cockroaches on the earth long ago, and many people believe that they will still be here long after all the people leave it. Cockroaches are small in size, and they are good at climbing and jumping. A cockroach can live for about a week without a head. These make them great helpers during the search and rescue missions(搜救任务).

③Alper heads up led a scientist team at North Carolina Stage University. "I joined the search and rescue missions in Turkey in 1999, "he said. "One of the most difficult problems was to find where the living people were. We needed to find them in a short time, but there was no useful way to help us at that time. "So Alper and his team had the idea of turning cockroaches into special robots.

④Scientists put a small sensor(传感器) and a smart camera on a cockroach's back. Cockroaches climb everywhere with them, With a sensor and the camera, cockroaches can tell people from other things, and then find where the missing people are. In this way, more people can be saved in time.

⑤All in all, the scientists hope these special cockroach robots will be used for more work over the next five years. "We never thought we would see the day, but here we are!"a scientist said.
