For us boys and girls, books are not all. We can find time to play at home or school. Playing is about having fun. But how do we play? It doesn't mean(意味着)watching TV or playing computer games. In the morning, we can run with our parents to be healthy. We can play sports with friends after school. We can also do what we like after class. For example(比如), we can draw and we can play chess with others. It is also fun to help others. Children who are playing are happy and they can't be bored.
It can help students be with others and it is good for them. Play well and then you can learn well.

A myth(传说) is something that is not correct, but many people believe. There are a lot of myths about the human brain. One of the biggest myths is that we only use 10 percent of our brains. The next part of the myth is that if we can learn to use the rest of our brains, we'll be much smarter. People say this all the time, but it's not true! Tho truth is that although we don't know everything about the human brain, we know that each part of it has an important function(功能). Modern scientists think the"10 percent myth" ridiculous(荒谬的). The other most popular myth is about being" right brained" or" left brained". According to this myth, people who use the right side of their brains are more artistic and creative. People who use the left side of their brains are better at math and science. This is as popular as the 10 percent myth, and it's also wrong. In 2013, a study at an American university examined the right brain and left brain myth. According to the study, we use both sides of our brains equally. It's true that we use different parts of our brains for different things. We use our left side for language more, and our right side when we need to pay attention. But there is no evidence (证据) that creative people use the right side more, or that scientific people use the left side more. We've talked about myths, so let's look at a few interesting facts about the brain. First of all, the brain feels no pain. Second, about 75 percent of the brain is made of water. It's also the fattest organ(器官) in your body. Here's one more interesting fact about the brain. Around the time you turn 18 years old, it stops growing. |
Here is some cool information about the world's population.
| It took 12 years for the world's population to grow from 7 billion to 2022's 8 billion. But it will take about 15 years for the population to reach 9 billion. That's because fewer babies are born now. In 50 years, this can slow the growth of the world's population. |
| The day on which the world's population grows by one billion is important. The United Nations chooses a baby born on that day as the symbolic (象征的) baby. For example, the world's population reached 8 billion on November 15, 2022. Vinice Mabansag was born on that day and she became the symbolic 8 billionth baby. |
| More boys than girls are born around the world. There are 106 baby boys born for every 100 baby girls. There are 1.8 billion people between the ages of 10 and 24. That's the largest number ever. |
| Henry's Diary | |
Day 1 18 Jan 2024 | It's Animal Week at school, so we' re studying different kinds of animals. Some lucky kids got tigers. I have to write about… pigeons! Ugh… | |
Day 2 19 Jan 2024 | I'm watching the birds in the park right now. They just fly around — for the whole morning! They leave droppings here and there. Pigeons are BORING and DIRTY! A girl is feeding them. Argh! The birds are flying madly to her. They are SCARY! | |
Day 3 20 Jan 2024 | I'm doing some online research about pigeons. When pigeons look in a mirror(镜子), they know it's not another pigeon. Really? I'd better go to watch them again with the question. | |
Day 4 21 Jan 2024 | Oh! In front of my house, I watch a pigeon for three hours today. Finally, I get a photo of the pigeon looking at itself in the water! They are really clever animals. Maybe I was wrong about them. I need to know more about these birds. | |
Day 5 22 Jan 2024 | I am in the city library. This book says that there are over 200 kinds of pigeons. Some of them can fly several thousands of kilometres without getting lost. They can also fly over 100 kilometres an hour. That's almost as fast as my dad's car! Well, pigeons are SPECIAL — I just didn't know much about them! | |
