Technology(技术)has made life easier. For example, we can pay for things with our smart phones. But there are still many problems, such as environmental problems.
Factory emissions(工厂排放物)make the air bad. Air pollution can bring many illnesses. The water in many rivers is also polluted. We hardly ever see fish in the river now. Instead, there are plastic(塑料)bags, rubbish and dead animals' bodies. The sky isn't blue and the river isn't clean any more. We should do something for the earth. But how?
Maybe technology can help us again. For example, new energy cars don't have any emissions. They use electricity(电力). If more people drive new energy cars, we can help reduce pollution.
For water pollution, I heard that scientists have made a kind of machine that can clean water. Scientists have also found a kind of germ(微生物)that can help break down(分解)plastic.
Technology is important in protecting the environment. But I think what's more important is not to harm the environment in the first place. Save the world, starting from you and me.

Emotions play a critical part in our lives and are contagious (传染的) unless you know how to actually control them. Let me give you an example here: {#blank#}1{#/blank#} you are with your loved ones, if they feel happy then you feel happy. And if they feel angry or sad then so {#blank#}2{#/blank#} you. Starting to get what I was talking about in the beginning? Should you be feeling {#blank#}3{#/blank#} that? In certain situations yes, but every time, no! You may find it very hard to believe but it is NOT our responsibility to {#blank#}4{#/blank#} their feelings, this is something that they have to do themselves. Apart {#blank#}5{#/blank#} this, we must also learn to control our feelings, and never ever be controlled by our own feelings. Let me give you my own example here. In the middle of a {#blank#}6{#/blank#} between your and your partner, they will say, "You really hurt my feelings". Sometimes, you might even say: "You are making me {#blank#}7{#/blank#}". What does this imply? It means that you have allowed the other {#blank#}8{#/blank#} to emotionally control you. Whenever this happens, you start blaming yourself, {#blank#}9{#/blank#} for the emotions that others are feeling. This is known as emotional reflection, you must learn to control this. What {#blank#}10{#/blank#} be your course of action here? It might seem rude when I say this but you really need to hear it. YOU ARE NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR HOW OTHERS FEEL!
As a country strong in math, China has many folk games filled with math wisdom. You may have played many of them before. Let's take a look at two of them.
Luban Lock Luban Lock was first created by Chinese carpenter Lu Ban about 2,000 years ago. It is said that Lu used six wooden pieces to make a toy that looks like a lock for his son. The lock has a lot to do with solid geometry (立体几何). It's hard to separate the six pieces. However, it is usually easier to unlock a Luban Lock than to put it back together. Now, there are Luban Locks made up of nine or more pieces. | |
Huarong Pass Huarong Pass is a traditional Chinese block-moving puzzle. Every block is named after a character in the book Romance of the Three Kingdoms, like Cao Cao, Zhang Fei and Zhao Yun. To succeed in the game, players have to move the blocks to get "Cao Cao" out. This is a test of one's math knowledge, for example, of geometric area (几何面积). According to the Chinese Puzzle website, it takes at least 81 steps to set "Cao Cao" free. |

Without the television set,the radio and more importantly,the computer,we will {#blank#}1{#/blank#} have any fun in our homes today. However,the people in the past had their own clever {#blank#}2{#/blank#} of enjoying themselves. For example,they made music without the use of computers but with tools made from wood and animal skin.
Travel was simple at that time. Most of the people were {#blank#}3{#/blank#} boat makers and they could make boats in a variety of shapes and sizes for travelling along the rivers and in the oceans. With increased skills and {#blank#}4{#/blank#} , the people learnt how to make the boats stronger against rains and storms.
Some things are basic for us nowadays,but the people in the past could live the lives to the full even without them. We should not look down on the wisdom of people long ago.
