   Have you ever seen people building houses? To build a house, you need workers. They use their hands, tools(工具) and machines to put things together. Building the ISS（国际太空站） is the same. The difference is that the workers are astronauts. They walk in space and use robots'arms and hands to do their work.
   In the space station ,astronauts are comfortable. The temperature there is about 21℃. But outside the station, it can be too hot or cold for people. In the sunlight, it's about 120℃. In the shadow(阴暗处) of the station, it's about -85℃. So when astronauts walk in space, they have to wear heavy clothes -- spacesuits.
   Spacesuits also keep astronauts safe from flying rubbish(垃圾) in space. Each time people go into space, they leave rubbish there. So astronauts should be careful because there's a lot of rubbish, some rubbish goes many times as fast as a plane!
   Space walking is not easy, and it can be dangerous. So getting ready for it takes a lot of time to learn. Astronauts will need to do 160 space walks to finish their work in the ISS. That will take about 1,900man-hour of work.

   The London Olympic Games are coming soon. This summer, Chinese sports fans will be able to watch the exciting games in 3-D on CCTV.
    When you watch 3-D movies or TV, you have to wear a special pair of glasses. The 3-D glasses make the people and the things on the screen look like they are in the room with you.
   3-D, means having three dimensions: width, height and depth. 3-D technology is based on the way the human brain and eye work. Because the pupils of a person's eyes are about 6.5 cm apart, when we look at something, each eye sees it from different angle. Our eyes send the two pictures to our brain, and the brain puts them together. The small difference between the picture from the right eye and the picture from the left eye make us see depth.
   While watching 2-D films, we don't have to wear the special glasses. We see the pictures in two dimensions, each eye get the same information. This is because there is only one way of watching it.
   So the aim of 3-D technology is to get a different picture into each eye of the person. It uses two film projectors. One projects a left eye picture and the other projects a right eye picture. When we are in the cinema, we can see different pictures in each eye at the same time with the help of the 3-D glasses.
   While watching 3-D films, we feel that we are actually in the same environment as the things we are watching. However, some people are against watching 3-D films. One of the reasons is the 3-D glasses makes the screen of the film or TV look darker. It is bad for eyes. What's more, people with eye problems may get headaches if they spend too much time watching 3-D movies, because their brains need to work harder to “read” the pictures.

I'm sure you all know how important recycling is. Recycling is when you take old things and turn them into new things. It sounds like magic. But it's actually very scientific.

Material	The first thing you have to do is to collect items that can be recycled. Only certain materials can be recycled. These include things made out of paper, metal, glass and plastic.
Daily things	Can you think of everyday items made of these materials? Soda cans are good example. They are made out of metal. Magazines and newspaper are made out of paper. So are cereal boxes. Some bottles of juice are made out of glass. Bags and yogurt containers are made out of plastic. There are many things that can be recycled.
Loop	These things are usually stamped with the recycling loop. It has 3 arrows that go in a triangular (三角形) circle. This shows that cycle (循环) continues. Items are thrown away but continue their lives as something else.
Process	Let's go back to the process of recycling. ①The items are put in a recycling bin. ②A truck carries the items to a recycling plant. ③The materials are separated and squashed (被压扁成) into square cubes. ④Companies buy and turn them into new products.

The seasons on Earth

The Earth that we live on is moving all the time. The Earth turns around itself once every 24 hours. This gives us day and night. The Earth also travels around the Sun once every year. This gives us the four seasons. We have spring and summer when our part of the Earth leans (倾斜) towards the Sun. We have autumn and winter when our part of the Earth leans away from the Sun.

In many places on Earth, there are four seasons in a year. But in some places there are only two seasons. For example, near the North Pole (北极) there are only winter and summer. The winter nights are long. For more than two months you can't see the Sun, even at noon. The summer days are long. For more than two months the Sun never sets, and there is no night. In the tropics (热带地区) there are also two seasons: a rainy season (wet season) and a dry season.

I'm living in a small village in the countryside. My wife and I run(经营) a cake shop. We live a very peaceful life. Someone might say our simple life is boring. But we love it. We know all the people in the village. I have much time for my hobbies-- gardening, fishing and walking in the countryside. I love the outdoor activities.

Three years ago, in 2020, I had a really terrible job in a company. I used to work very late in the office from Monday to Thursday. Usually I went home the latest on Thursdays. Luckily I could go home early on Fridays, but I had to bring work home on weekends. Because of the job, I used to smoke and drink too much.

One day, my wife, a P. E. teacher, decided to leave me. She complained(抱怨) that she seldom saw me. She also said that I had become not humorous but serious since having the job. This made me realize what was really important to me. We talked and decided to start a new and happy life together. Last year,I gave up the job. Of course, I also gave up smoking and drinking and took up new hobbies.
