Seba Stephens is only 10 years old, but he's a very talented musician. He plays drums, bass, guitar and piano. Recently, he got a professional certificate (证书) in music through the Berklee Online program at the famous Berklee College of Music.

Seba and his family live in Memphis, Tennessee-a place famous for music. He grew up with music all around, but he especially loved the drumming of Stewart Copeland from the band The Police. "The songs of The Police are full of so much cool drumming (鼓声)." he says.

Before he turned three, his parents asked him what he wanted for his birthday. "Drums!" he answered.

His parents weren't sure, but after seeing him play the drums at a local music store, they decided he was serious. They bought him a junior drum kit (成套装备). It was a huge step. "He didn't stop playing-ever." says his dad. Everett.

But soon Seba grew upset. He couldn't get his junior drum kit to make the sounds he heard Mr. Copeland making. It was a lesson for the family: good instruments were worth paying for. His parents bought him a professional drum kit and signed him up for lessons.

In just a few months, a drummer, his drum teacher reported that Seba was learning very quickly and needed a higher level of training. He was still four.

He faced challenges-because of his size. "I couldn't see over my drum set," he says. "And I couldn't reach some of the cymbals (铙钹，打击乐器名)." He also had trouble finding a good bass that was small enough.

Seba wanted to start a band, but Everet said he had to "at least be in kindergarten (幼儿园)" to do that. Everett thought he was joking, but Seba actually started a band in kindergarten. By the first grade, he was making money playing music.

There was a new sport at this year's Paris Olympics: breaking, sometimes called breakdancing. It is a special type of dance that started in the streets. To win the gold, competitors called breakers will do amazing moves to hip- hop music in fun and energetic ways. Here's what you need to know about the sport.

Breaking at the 2024 Paris Olympics
Event	Date	Number of Competitors	Gold Medal	Silver Medal (银牌)	Bronze Medal (铜牌)
B- Boys	9 August 2024	16	Philip Kim Canada	Danis Civil France	Victor Montalvo United States
B- Girls	10 August 2024	17	Ami Yuasa Japan	Dominika Banevič Lithuania	Liu Qingyi China
Why is it called breaking? Breaking started in the 1970s, in New York City, US. At parties, dancers got up to perform during musical " breaks", which gave breaking its name. Breaking is now an important part of hip- hop culture around the world.		How to breakdance? Breaking has four kinds of moves. A " top rock" is when a breaker dances\| while standing up. A" down rock" is when a breaker dances on the floor, moving their arms and kicking their\| legs. A " freeze" is when a dancer stops in the middle in a cool position, like standing on their head or\| balancing with one hand. " Power moves" are really fast spins and twists that look like the dancer is flying or\| spinning like a top.		▲ Anyone can be a B- girl or a B- boy, which is what breakers call themselves. Victor Montalvo is a B- boy from the US. " Breaking is amazing. It doesn't matter what color you are, who you are, where you're from: it welcomes all kinds of people," he says. " It's all about peace, love, unity, and having fun."

Purple, green, orange, red. animals have a lot of beautiful and different colors. These colors are important to them. Some animals use the colors to make their enemies (敌人) afraid. And sometimes their enemies can not see them clearly because their colors are like some other things. Other animals use the colors to find partners. But how do animals have their colors?

Food gives them colors

Some animals get pigments (色素) from their food. For example, flamingos eat a lot of shrimp or algae. These things have a red-orange pigment. The pigment gives flamingos a pink color. The more they eat, the pinker they get.

Body gives them colors

Animals' body parts, like feathers, scales (鳞片), hair and skin, have special structures. They reflect (反射) light to make animals colorful. This is called structural colors. For example, blue morpho butterflies (蓝闪蝶) have beautiful scales on their wings. This gives them a bright blue color.

Did you know?

Structural colors don't fade (褪色). People use the idea to make special clothes and paints.
