    Where weredominoes (多米诺骨牌) from?Modern dominoes first showed up in Italy during the 18th century. But it isbelieved that the earliest dominoes were Chinese playing cards. Italianmissionaries (传教士) in China may have brought the gameto Europe. Do you think so?

    Do youlike to play with dominoes? Dominoes are small rectangular (长方形的) pieces made of wood orplastic (塑料). People can place dominoes in differentshapes. Then, they push one domino down and the rest of the dominoes fall oneby one. It is interesting to watch.

    Butplacing dominoes is hard. To make sure the dominoes fall smoothly, the spacebetween each domino is important. According to domino—play. com, if a domino is about 4cm long, then the space between two dominoes should be1—2 cm. If the space is too big, the dominoes will stop falling halfway.If the space is too small, the dominoes will fall too quickly and won't lookinteresting.

    Beginnerscan start by putting dominoes in a straight line. This is the easiest shape.Professional (专业的) playerscan place dominoes in many other shapes, including big circles, beautifulflowers and even famous paintings.

①Our body language tells the world a lot about us. But can it change the way in which we see ourselves? The answer is Yes.

②Two scientists, Amy Cuddy and Danna Carney, who know much about body language, did a famous research. According to the result of their research, body language can change the chemistry of our brains. Some high-power body language can make you become confident. For example, you will feel confident when you hold your head high; you will feel confident too when you put your arms out wide as if you have won a race. However, some low-power body language can make you feel unconfident, such as sitting with your arms close to the body, sitting with your legs together or walking with your head down.

③Why do all these happen? The scientists think the reason is that body language changes the amount of something special in our brains. It's called hormone(激素). One kind of hormone can increase your confidence; another kind can increase your stress(压力). But too much stress hormone is bad for learning. It also increases the risk of health problems.

④The result of the research is helpful for your studies. Please remember: try to use more high-power body language in your studies, and you will be confident. That is, always believe you can study well, act as if you were doing well, then you will make greater progress in real life.

The world's attention turns to Sweden for the announcement (公布) of the Nobel Prize winners 1 December 10 each year. The Nobel Prizes, six prizes given to groups or individuals who are really excellent in 2 fields, were founded by a Swedish inventor, Alfred Nobel. 

 Alfred Nobel was the man who invented dynamite, a 3 explosive(炸药). During his life, Nobel made a lot of money from his invention, and he decided 4 he would use his money to help scientists, artists, and people who worked to help 5 around the world. 6 he died, he decided to place the money in a bank and the interest(利息) would be given out as five cash prizes every year. 

 The prizes 7 were set up by Nobel were first handed out in 1901, including physics, medicine, chemistry, literature, and peace. Later, in 1968 the Bank of Sweden 8 a prize in economics to celebrate the bank's 300th year of business. 

 The person who receives a Nobel Prize 9 a cash prize, a medal, and a certificate. The money for each category is worth about 1. 5 10 dollars. The aim of the prize is 11 the winner to carry on working or researching, and they don't have to worry about 12 money. 

 The prizes can be given to either individuals 13 groups, like Albert Einstein, Tu Youyou and the United Nations. The prize winner who has won the 14 times is the International

Committee of the Red Cross. This organization has received three Nobel Peace Prizes, and the founder, Jean Henri Dunant, was awarded 15 first Nobel Peace Prize in 1901.

Young people often feel unhappy when they are with their parents. They say that their parents don't{#blank#}1{#/blank#} them. They often think their parents are strict with them.

Parents often find {#blank#}2{#/blank#} difficult to win their children's trust and they seem to forget how they felt when they were young.{#blank#}3{#/blank#} example, young people like to do things without much thinking. Older people are worried about things more easily, they need to {#blank#}4{#/blank#} things from many ways. So most of them plan things {#blank#}5{#/blank#} and don't like their plans to be changed.

Sometimes instead of going out with their parents, they {#blank#}9{#/blank#} want to stay at home alone and do what they like.

{#blank#}10{#/blank#} you plan to manage an independent life, you'd better win your parents' trust and try to get them to understand you. If your parents see that you have a high sense of responsibility (责任感) , they will certainly give you chances to do what you want to do.

Every school day, we use schoolbags to carry all of our things to school. They are a big part of our lives. But have you ever thought about the history of the schoolbag?'. 

In the Han Dynasty（汉朝）, students in old - style private schools used bamboo boxes to carry books to school. People consider the bamboo boxes to be the earliest schoolbags. There were usually two or three layers（层）in the box. Kids put different things like books, brushes, ink stones（砚）and paper in the boxes. 

Hundreds of years later, people developed a new kind of schoolbag called the budai, or the " hip - pocket ". The budai was lighter than the bamboo box. With the founding (成立) of the People's Republic of China, military rucksacks（军用背包 )became popular. Many people carried them when they were in school. Ask your grandparents or parents about these bags. Maybe they can tell you about their experiences of carrying them when they were in school. 

A new style of schoolbags has appeared in recent years. Many of them have colorful and fashionable designs（时尚的设计） on them, such as pictures of cartoons or pop stars. And they are more comfortable to use. Some students pull wheeled bags filled with heavy textbooks and others carry backpacks. 

Schoolbags are still changing. Can you imagine what future schoolbags will be like?
