High-speed railways, electronic payments, shared bicycles and online shopping are China's four new ways of life. They are most appealing to youths from 20 countries participating {#blank#}1{#/blank#}the Belt and Road Initiative. The new four great inventions are all related to China's high-tech innovation,{#blank#}2{#/blank#}has improved the quality of people's lives, “My wallet is no longer in use. I can buy and eat whatever I want {#blank#}3{#/blank#}(simple) with a tap of my phone,” said Lin Jinlong, an overseas Chinese student from Cambodia,{#blank#}4{#/blank#} (add) that even pancake sellers are using Alipay (mobile payment).

    In {#blank#}5{#/blank#}word, China is leading in many ways. Bike sharing, for example, is not new itself. But China has made it much more convenient and {#blank#}6{#/blank#} (enjoy) both in China and overseas. Leading Chinese bike-sharing {#blank#}7{#/blank#}(company) Mobike and Ofo are now operating in foreign countries such as Singapore and Britain. Users in the countries felt excited and {#blank#}8{#/blank#}(post) photos of themselves riding the Chinese bikes on social media. A growing number of foreigners hope {#blank#}9{#/blank#} (promote) economic development in {#blank#}10{#/blank#} (they) home countries by paying more attention to the achievements of China.

    A study shows that new technology is reducing children's ability {#blank#}1{#/blank#}(use) a pencil or pen. The study is from the National Health Service in the UK. Researchers said that nowadays, children spend so much time swiping iPads or mobile phone screens {#blank#}2{#/blank#}they cannot hold a pencil properly. Children are not using{#blank#}3{#/blank#}(pencil), so they now lack the muscle{#blank#}4{#/blank#} (strong) in their hands to be able to write {#blank#}5{#/blank#}(proper). Researcher Dr Sally Payne said: “Children are not coming into school with the strong hand and the ability they{#blank#}6{#/blank#} (have)

    10 years ago. Children {#blank#}7{#/blank#} (come) into school are being given a pencil but are increasingly not able to hold it because they don't have the fundamental (基本的) movement skills.”

    The researchers said technology is changing the physical way that children write, draw or make things. Dr Payne explained why. She said: “It's{#blank#}8{#/blank#}(easy) to give a child an iPad than encourage them to do muscle-building play such as building blocks, cutting and sticking, or pulling toys and ropes. One expert said {#blank#}9{#/blank#} a child isn't strong enough to hold a pencil, perhaps their whole body is weak. She said it was better for children's physical development to climb trees {#blank#}10{#/blank#} to watch YouTube videos.

    When it comes to climate change, language does count. In March, the Guardian changed{#blank#}1{#/blank#}(it) wording – using "global heating" instead of "global warming" , after scientists found that Earth's temperature is set {#blank#}2{#/blank#}(rise) from between 2.5C and 4.5C. And on May 1, the UK parliament declared a "climate emergency", {#blank#}3{#/blank#}(become)the first parliament to do so.

    If with "global warming", we're still inside our comfort zone of handling the situation, entering the state of "global heating" is like heading to a point {#blank#}4{#/blank#} the delicate balance of nature is disturbed so much that there is no turning back. Everything will be changing: Coral will die, polar bears will lose their habitats completely, and extreme{#blank#}5{#/blank#} (weather) like droughts and heavy storms will happen at a higher{#blank#}6{#/blank#} (frequent). There is no denying that we're entering a climate emergency.

    Decades ago when the science on the climate issue was first increasing, the impacts could be seen as an issue for future generations," but now it's {#blank#}7{#/blank#}(definite) our issue, {#blank#}8{#/blank#}shift we all are living together.

    However, getting these messages {#blank#}9{#/blank#} is far from enough. It depends on each to find a solution – if there are any solutions left to find. The UK's Labor leader Jeremy urged that "we {#blank#}10{#/blank#}(take) rapid and dramatic action now".

    Indeed, language matters. But action matters even more.
