Emilyand Alex were happy when their family moved to a house with a very big garden. Theycould climb up trees, grow flowers and even play badminton. They liked to watchthe birds flying among the trees in the garden. They even started to put food outto attract（吸引）more birds.

    Everythingwas fine for a few days until one afternoon there was a strange bumping noise ona window. Emily went outside and found a small bird dead on the grass. Its neckseemed to be broken.

    "Itmust have flown into the window," Alex said when his sister Emily called himto have a look. "Ah, yes, look here. You can see the mark where it hit thewindow. There are a couple of tiny feathers stuck(粘贴) on the window."

    "Poorthing!" Emily said.

    Duringthe next month, another five birds died in the same way. "Why would they flyto the windows?" they wondered. Finally they found out the truth. When thebirds were flying, they couldn't see into the rooms. All they saw was the reflection(反射) of the garden. They thought that they were flying into trees becausethey saw trees reflected by the window.

    "Somethinghas to be done to save the birds." the parents decided.

    At first,he family tried keeping curtains（窗帘）across the windows, but thismade the room dark. Then they bought some strong black paper and cut out the shapeof ahawk. They made six hawks—one for each window. They stuck the hawks to the windows. They lookedpretty and did not keep out much light. When the birds saw the hawks, they wouldfly away.

    Afterthat, there were no more dead birds. The family were much happier.

In 223 BC Meng Tian (蒙恬) led the army in a war against the Chu Kingdom. In those days, people wrote on silk with a kind of stick pen. The stick pen was very hard and made writing very slow. Meng Tian had to often write a great number of reports about battlefield situation to the Qin ruler. He was frustrated (沮丧的) with the difficulty of writing, so he decided to make improvements.

Between battles, Meng enjoyed hunting. One day, Meng hunted a wild rabbit. It was fat and heavy and its tail left a trail (痕迹) on the ground. Meng suddenly had an idea. He immediately tied the rabbit's tail to a stick and tried writing with it. But the rabbit's hair was too oily (多油的) to hold the ink. Meng felt very sad and threw his "rabbit hair brush pen" away into a hole in the rocks.

However, Meng Tian couldn't accept the failure and continued to spend time wondering how to improve the brush pen. A few days later, he was having a walk outside for some fresh air. By chance, he found again the rabbit hair brush pen that he had thrown away. He picked it up and found that it had changed and was now soft and wet—holding water. Meng Tian got inspiration at once. He put the rabbit hair brush pen back in the ink and found it worked beautifully on silk.

Cui Chenxi is a student in a middle school. When he was preparing lessons before class, he noticed a mistake. In one of the pictures, there is a"hoverfly(食蚜蝇)", and there is a word under {#blank#}1{#/blank#} picture to describe it. But the word is"bee" . 

Cui reported the mistake to the textbook's publisher(出版商)and {#blank#}2{#/blank#}(quick)got a reply. The publisher confirmed(确认)the mistake after {#blank#}3{#/blank#} (ask)a biology teacher. They said they would correct the mistake. Besides, the publisher thanked the 12-year-old boy for reporting the mistake, and praised {#blank#}4{#/blank#} (he)for being "really professional" . 

When asked how he {#blank#}5{#/blank#}(discover)the mistake, Cui said, "It's simple. Bees have two pairs of {#blank#}6{#/blank#} (wing)while hoverflies have only one pair. What's more, bees' tentacles(触须)are clear to see while those of hoverflies are difficult to see. "

According to Cui's mother, the boy shows a great interest {#blank#}7{#/blank#}biology. He raised 10 types of ants in his school in order to find the insects' habits and understand how the insects work. 

To our surprise, hundreds of books about natural science {#blank#}8{#/blank#}(keep)in his family. And Cui has a bookshelf of his own. {#blank#}9{#/blank#} Cui needs to do lots of sports and join in after-class activities, he still spends more than one hour reading natural science books everyday. He is {#blank#}10{#/blank#} (please)to learn what he loves. 

Walter Orthmann, a 100-year-old man from Brazil, has been working for 84 years at the same company. He broke the Guinness World Record for the longest career at the same company. 

Walter was born in 1922, in a small Brazilian town As the oldest son of five, his mother took him to find a job. He started working at the age of 15 to help his family with financial problems. He got his first job as an assistant. With amazing working skills, he became a successful sales manager at the age of 20. 

In the 1950s, Walter often went on business. He built solid relationships with his customers. His talents and abilities won their trust and support. Some of the customers even became Walter's long life friends. 

In 2022, he tumed 100, but he didn't plan to retire from the only company he had ever worked for. He celebrated his hundredth birthday in the company with his coworkers, friends and family, holding an unforgettable party, 

"When we do what we like, we don't see the time go by!"said Walter Orthmann. "I don't do much planning, nor care much about tomorrow. All I care about is that tomorrow will be another day in which I will wake up, get up, exercise, and go to work. "He suggested people should get busy with the present, not the past or the future. This is what drives him to make history!
