A young man from a village called Nawalapitiya married a young woman from Maiyuwa, a small village. They lived with the man's big family—his parents, his brothers, their wives and children. The family kept an elephant, in which the woman soon took a great interest. Every day she fed it with fruit and sugar.

    Three months later, having quarreled with her husband, the woman went back to her parents' home. Soon the elephant refused to eat and work. It appeared to be ill and heartbroken. One morning after several weeks the animal disappeared from the house.

    It went to the woman's home. On seeing her, the elephant waved its trunk and touched her with it. The young woman was so moved by the act of the animal. So she went back to her husband's home.

Nobody likes bullying*. But bullying is a big problem around the world. According to the report, for about 100 students, there are 10 students who suffer from* bullying in the US.

Nathan Fellars is a student in the eighth grade at Centennial Middle School in Utah, US. When he sees classmates suffering from bullying, he knows he has to do something. "People often do something with bullying after it happens. I want to see if there is a way to reduce bullying before it happens," Fellars tells the Society for Science.

After studying more about the reasons of bullying, he has an idea to make the app Bully Block. On the app, students can share their lives. They can talk about people they meet, things they do or just share some moments in their daily lives. Also they can talk about the difficulties they face or bad things they meet. Then others can give responses*. But before people see the responses, AI reads all of them. Only nice words can be seen. Fellars believes that this will slowly stop bullying both online and in school.

"I want to see teachers and students use my app," says Fellars, "I love knowing that my idea can help somebody else in the world."

Riding a Mobike on the street, you might hear some people speaking Chinese aloud. Turning to the right, you see a Sichuan-style restaurant. After walking into a store, you see that Huawei smartphones are on sale. But you're not in China-you're in Manchester in Britain. In fact, you might see similar things in many other cities.

Chinese products have been going all over the world. ____①____ Chinese food has been enjoyed in Western countries for a long time. To meet local people's tastes, Chinese restaurants have made some changes to the dishes. "One example is the meat."said Yin Hang,a Chinese student who is studying in Australia."We like to eat meat with the bone in, but people here don't. So the local Chinese restaurants provide big pieces of meat without bones, even for fish." ____②____

____③____  It is reported that in many cities in Europe, many stores sell TCL televisions, Haier fridges and Lenovo computers. More than half of US-owned drones(无人机) are Chinese models, according to China Daily. They're not only made in China, but also designed and developed in the country.

____④____In the past, most Western people thought Chinese products were cheap and unreliable. But now, things have changed greatly. More people trust Chinese brands. "Made in China" becomes cool. "They are beautiful and offer something special that American phones don't have."an article on CNN once said about Chinese smartphones.

As it is said, Chinese government has been trying its best to improve its national brands of all kinds to meet the needs of modern life.

We can do many interesting chemical tests in our class. Today, we will use CO2 to blow up a balloon! Mixing baking soda(小苏打) with vinegar(醋) together can give off the CO2

What you'll need

1)A balloon       2)About 40 ml of water         3)A soft drink bottle      4)Vinegar

5)A teaspoon of baking soda Instructions

Instructions

●Before you begin, make sure that you pull the balloon long to make it as easy as possible to blow up. 

●Put the 40 ml of water into the soft drink bottle. 

●Add the baking soda and mix it with water. 

●Put the vinegar in and quickly put the balloon over the mouth of the bottle. 

What's happening?

If all goes well then the balloon should become bigger and bigger! Adding the vinegar to the baking soda creates a chemical effect. The baking soda is a base(碱), while the vinegar is an acid(酸). When the two are mixed, they'll create CO2. The gas rises up and runs away through the soft drink bottle. However, it doesn't get away from the balloon, pushing it outwards and blowing it up. 

Aocidents could happen at any time. We must be careful all the time on the road, especially on the corner of the road and at traffic lights. The rules on the road are very important. If we learn and follow them, we won't have too many accidents. 

Most traffic accidents happen because people are careless. Most of these people are old people and children. Old people usually can't see or hear very well. Children are often too careless. Listening to music on the road is very dangerous. Some drivers drive too fast, so they usually cause traffic accidents. When a car is going very fast, it travels many metres before it stops. Bicycle riders will also cause accidents by changing directions(方向) suddenly. 

Before you turn left, you should check twice to make sure there aren't any cars or buses coming. When you want to turn left, you should show your left hand to tell the driver. You should not turn until the street is clear. 

When you want to cross the road, you should look at the right side and left side to make sure the road is safe. Remember not to play on the road.
