When we are talking about animals in China, the most precious (珍贵的) animal we would think of is the panda. In fact, we have one kind of bird as precious as the panda,1many people don't know much about it. The bird is called crested ibis (朱鹮) . It is as2as snow with a red face and looks very beautiful. It is also in danger like the panda.

Crested ibises3in tall trees by small rivers or rice fields. They look for small fish and4small animals for food. About one hundred years ago,5crested ibises lived in China, Russia and Japan. Later, as they lost their homes,6them was getting smaller and smaller. Between 1965 and 1980, people didn't see any of them living in the wild. Luckily, on May 23, 1981, scientists7seven of them in the south of Shanxi Province. 8protect crested ibises in the wild, the Chinese government is setting up nature parks and developing other plans. Now scientists are doing a lot of research to help them to9more babies. Today there are about 1,500 crested ibises living in the wild. Zoos and research centres10after about 500 crested ibises.

Most of us spend all day at school or work. After a long and busy day, all we want to do is to return to a comfortable home. Smart technology can turn any home into a nicer place to live in.

Smart homes have been around for some time. A company called Pico Electronics invented a type of technology called X10 in 1975. As the curliest smart home technology, it allows household devices (家用设备),such as lights and alarms, to communicate with each other by using radio waves.

Of course, 5G network connectivity has made smart homes much more complicated (复杂的) than X10. Perhaps the most popular smart home technology is the voice-activated assistant. Users are allowed to communicate with almost any device in their homes simply by speaking a few words. This is especially convenient for children and people with disabilities, as the devices can help them finish tasks that would normally be too difficult.

Common household devices can become "smart as well. For example, smart fridges can create dinner recipes with the vegetables that are being kept inside.

But smart homes are not just about convenience. They are also good for the environment. By regularly checking your energy use and automatically (自动地) turning off lights and other devices that you' re using, smart homes can lower much electricity you use. Using less energy means that we use fewer natural resources (自然资源),which is good for the environment.

After a game like football, the players might get an X- ray in the hospital if they hurt their legs or arms. A dentist can use X- rays to look at teeth. And airport workers use an X- ray machine to check objects before a plane leaves. Nowadays, X- ray technology is widely used in medicine and other fields. 

X- rays were first discovered by a German scientist, Wilhelm Conrad Röntgen (1845-1923) . He found them quite by accident in 1895. One day, he discovered that an unknown kind of radiation (放射线) could hardly pass through hard objects like bones. Later, Röntgen took a photo of his wife's hand. It clearly showed her ring and her bones. That was the first X- ray photo in the world. 

Why is there an "X" in the word X- ray? It's because Röntgen couldn't explain exactly how it worked. He just knew that X- rays were new and useful for science. In fact, X- rays soon became an important tool in medicine. With the help of X- rays, doctors could see inside the human body for the first time without surgery (外科手术) . 

Röntgen was awarded the first Nobel Prize in physics in 1901 for his discovery. When he was asked what he was thinking at the moment of discovery, he replied, "I didn't think, I researched. " Röntgen gave away his Nobel Prize money to his university. And he never took out any patents (专利权) on X- rays, to make sure that the world could freely make use of his discovery.
