    Medicine can help the body when you are sick. If your doctor has given you some medicine, be sure to take it.

    Go outside on a nice day to get more fresh air. Take a book with you and do some reading while you enjoy the sunshine.

    Drones are like airplanes, only without a pilot. No one without a pilot's license should be allowed to have one.

    Something bad or unexpected can happen when people send up a self-controlled flying machine like a drone without knowing how to really control it. Drones can become flyaways, and can be caught up on a jet stream (喷气流) and blown away.  A falling drone can do much damage (损害) to buildings and people.

    Though drones can be harmful, they can be very helpful.

    At a sports event, drones can be used to give the spectators (观众) a view from above or help coaches see how their players are doing.

    They are also becoming a useful tool for firefighters, helping them find and fight wildfires. Drones can watch secretly on populations of animals in the wild, especially endangered ones.

    In some faraway places in the world, drones are the fastest way to send medicine to people who are in great need of it.

    Some people think drones can only be used by governments to help when needed. Others think that if rules are obeyed, there should be little risk to people and property (财产).

    Drone makers say drones are exciting new technology and that the future will be controlled by them.

Maker Moment

    Last year, Izzy Goldstein, 12, learned in science class that we can reduce air pollution by using natural energy sources, such as wind and solar power, instead of gasoline. This made her wonder what she and her schoolmates could do to help the environment. "Maybe if my school got  a bike rack（架子）, more kids would bike to school instead of depending on cars," Izzy told TIME for Kids. Rather than ask their school to buy a rack, Izzy and her friends decided to make a bike rack by themselves.

    They came up with a design. They calculated how much wood they might need. They measured how long the boards should be. They used power tools to cut them and put them together safely. And they did all this in their school's makerspace.

    Makerspaces are workspaces where kids can learn to create objects using technology, engineering, art and design. These spaces often feature a mix of high-tech machines, such as 3D printers and robotic Kits(工具箱), and simple materials like clay and cardboard.

    Izzy goes to the Harley School in New York. It is one of a growing number of schools across the United States with makerspaces. Makerspaces are largely inspired by Maker Faires(创客盛会), which are events that give people a chance to share their creative projects. Each year, about 250,000 people attend the Maker Faires in San Mateo, California, and Queens, New York. Maker Faires have also spread to countries around the world, including Egypt, France and Thailand.

    Schools are introducing makerspaces to the curriculum(课程)because makerspaces give kids a way to have ideas and build something from those ideas. Kima Enerson is a makerspace teacher at the Harley School. But she says kids can become extraordinary makers in an ordinary classroom, too.

    In Harley's Lower School (pre-kindergarten to Grade 4), students learn about the basics of computer software. By third grade, they study coding and how electricity works. In sixth grade, they learn to safely use tools such as drills and saws. When students get to high school, Enerson shows them how to apply their skills to solve global problems. "Throughout the process of designing, students are learning to create something to better the world," she says

    Rock climbing is a popular hobby that many people enjoy doing. You can do it indoors on special walls or outdoors on real mountains. There are many advantages of rock climbing--it is fun and it also helps people forget worries.

    The most important equipment(装备) to have is good shoes. They need to be half a size smaller than your usual size. The next thing you need is a harness(保护带). This allows you to move freely, but will hold you up if you fall. It's important to know how to use your equipment. If you are a beginner, it's best to have lessons. A climber with experience can help you a lot in the beginning.

    Rock climbing is very exciting for people of different ages. Climbers, however, must be careful not to pollute the environment. Sometimes rock climbers leave rubbish on the mountains where they climb. They should take it with them and throw it away. This will allow future climbers to enjoy a clean environment.

    Mona has an interesting hobby. She collects stamps(邮票). She spends a lot of time on her stamp collection after school. {#blank#}1{#/blank#} They are all in color. Mona likes stamps with pictures of animals and birds on them. {#blank#}2{#/blank#} She also borrows books on animals and birds from her school library. She learns many things about them. Sometimes Mona has many stamps of the same kind. She gives them to her classmates. {#blank#}3{#/blank#} Mona writes to her friends in many countries. {#blank#}4{#/blank#} In return, they send her stamps of their countries. Mona's father also gives her stamps.

    He brings them home from his office and he often enjoys the stamps with her. But Mona's mother never gives her stamps because she thinks spending too much time on them is bad for study. Many of Mona's friends collect other things. {#blank#}5{#/blank#} But, all of them say that Mona's collection is the most interesting of all.
