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.

Do you wonder what your work environment will be in 10 years? Imagine you walk into your office, with the temperature just right. You sit down and begin a nice day. This is the kind of smart office that engineers are trying to make. It uses technology to help workers perform at their best while at work.

Sitting in front of a desk for too long can be bad for your health. For example, it can cause back and waist (腰) pain. Sanon, a company in Zhejiang, built UP7 to help solve this. As a smart lifting desk, UP7 can tell how long a user has been sitting in the chair. When it reaches the time set by the user, it will "tell" the user to stop working by either shaking the table or sending messages to the user's phone.

The company also designed a type of smart chair to match with the table. "The chair is so comfortable. It can adjust the arms and height according to your body shape," a user in Zhejiang posted on platforms. In smart offices, you probably won't use paper notebooks. Instead, you can try electronic paper books to put every work document online. N10, created by Hanvon Technology in Beijing, is a new "notebook" like this. It uses a screen that doesn't produce much light. Users write on it with an electronic pen.

"It truly feels like reading and writing on real paper, completely meeting my office needs," a user Mr. Lin said to People's Daily. "Notes recorded can be easily organized, searched and stored. You usually need several paper notebooks to do what the electronic notebook does."

Are you looking forward to working in such a comfortable and friendly work environment in the future?

Hi, Mike. I'm one of your fans from Zhanjiang.

I'm very glad to share how I spend my favorite traditional Chinese festival with you. 

Peter and David are good friends. Every morning. Peter gets up early to read books. In the afternoon, he does sports with David. 

Today they don't go to school. David comes to Peter's room and says, "I want to read books like you, but I don't understand(理解)them. Is reading good for me? "

Peter say, "This is a coal basket(煤筐). Get a basket of water from the river. Then I tell you. "David does that. But there is no water in the basket when he comes back. Peter says, "You can walk fast. "

This time David runs, but there still (仍然) no water in the basket. "See? It's useless. " he says. 

"Look at the basket!" Peter says. 

Then David finds it's clean now. Peter says, "That's how reading can help you. You may not understand all. But when you read, you'll be different. "
