Do you want to watch movie called The Bear? Please learn more about it and experience some serious feelings.

    It tells us a story between two bears. A young baby bear loses his mother in a terrible accident, and he has to live by himself. He meets a lot of problems and lives a hard life.

    Another strong bear is run after by the hunters. They can't catch him but finally hurt him, so he can't move easily. When the baby bear meets him，he wants to become his friend. At first, the strong bear doesn't like him but finally he is touched by the young bear's kindness. So he helps the baby bear solve many problems like his fighting with a cougar(美洲狮).

    There aren't any talking animals, but the movie is funny for kids of most ages. However, we wouldn't call it a children's movie. From the exciting movie about the two bears, a cougar and the hunters, we can know that the true meaning about life is that "The greatest skill(技能) is not to kill but to let live".

Eating lots of vegetables is good for our health. Different vegetables can help our bodies in different ways. Eating carrots is good for our eyes. Carrots can help us see better at night. Do you want to have strong teeth? If so, you can eat some peas(豌豆). Peas have vitamin(维生素) K in them. Vitamin K is helpful to your teeth. Do you like tomatoes? They look nice. Doctors call tomatoes "healthy vegetables", because they can help you not to get cancer(癌症). They also have a kind of special vitamin PP. It can keep our skin(皮肤) healthy. So it is important to eat some tomatoes. Don't forget about spinach(菠菜). The spinach leaves have vitamin A, vitamin C and vitamin E. They help our bodies make red blood cells (血红蛋白).Vegetables are very important to us, but we can't only eat vegetables. We also need to eat other kinds of food to keep healthy.

Give Directions in Different Places

If you ask people of different countries "Could you tell me the way to the post office?", you will get different answers.

In Japan, people use landmarks(路标) instead of street names. For example, the Japanese will say to travelers, "Go straight down to the corner. {#blank#}1{#/blank#} The post office is across from the bus stop.

In Kansas, America, there are no towns or buildings within miles. So instead of landmarks, people will tell you directions and distance. For example, people will say,"Go north two miles. {#blank#}2{#/blank#} "

People in Greece sometimes do not even try to give directions. They will often say, "Follow me." {#blank#}3{#/blank#}

Sometimes if a person doesn't know the answer to your question, he or she,like a New Yorker,might say,"Sorry,I have no idea."But in Yucatan, Mexico, no one answers "I don't know." {#blank#}4{#/blank#}They usually give an answer, but often a wrong one. A visitor can often get lost in Yucatan!

{#blank#}5{#/blank#} You might not understand a person's words, but maybe you can understand his or her body language. He or she will usually point to the right direction, Go on in that direction and you may find the post office!

I hoped to be set free one day,so I was nice to the Lilliputians.Gradually,     ▲     .Sometimes the children even played hide-and-seek in my hair.

One day,the king said to me,"Gulliver,I invite you to watch an important performance.It is a contest called Rope Dancing".In the contest,a thin rope was tied between two poles very high above the ground.People had to dance on this rope.Each dancer tried to jump higher than the others.I had never seen such a dangerous sport.

"Your Majesty,"I said,"many dancers must fall and be hurt or killed."

"Yes,"he replied,"But I will give the best jobs in my kingdom to the men who are not afraid and jump the highest."What a strange way to choose who will work for the country!"I thought.

Then,as the king watched,I tied each corner of my handkerchief to a strong stick, and pushed the four sticks into the ground.My handkerchief was now under the rope but above the ground.Any dancer who fell would land on the handkerchief and not get hurt. The king was very pleased with my invention.His family and many other people watched the rope dancing.

Would you and the queen like to see better?"I asked the king.I gently put them on my hand and held it beside the rope.They had a good view of the dancers.One very skilled performer held on to the rope and flipped(翻转)his body right over it.The king and the queen clapped loudly and cheered.Later the king told me that he made this man one of his chief(首要的)advisors.

The king and I met often.He seemed to enjoy our conversations.One day,I said again,"Your Majesty, please set me free."This time he answered,"I have talked to my

advisors.We agree that you have been good to our people." 

①Aarrav Anil, a 13-year-old boy, has had a deep interest in mechanics (机械学) since childhood. He invented a smart spoon and stood for India to attend an international competition last year. In the competition, he won the first prize. But he didn't create his smart spoon to win a prize. He noticed his uncle who has Parkinson's disease (PD) (帕金森病) try to feed himself. Food kept falling out of his mouth, making him look like a mess. Aarrav wanted to make a change.

②More than 7 million people in India have PD. The disease influences the brain, causing patients to shake uncontrollably. As the disease progresses, it leads to difficulty in eating by oneself.

③Aarrav wanted his uncle to be able to eat by himself. This encouraged the boy to look for a way to help his uncle. So he took tools to his room with sensors (传感器) and a 3D printer. But not everything went well.

④"I was sad that I couldn't find certain parts I needed in India. I had to buy some from abroad." Aarrav said in an interview.

⑤Aarrav made a first model, but the spoon handle was not easy for his uncle to hold. "I've improved the invention. It needs to be waterproof (防水的). The spoon must be easily separated, so that it can be cleaned and replaced with a fork. And the spoon needs to be deeper to hold more food." the boy said.

⑥The smart spoon is now being tested at a local college. The test is expected to be completed in early 2025. Aarrav hopes that his smart spoon will be used in hospitals soon.

In a restaurant, a bug(虫子)suddenly flew in and landed on a woman. She started shouting out of fear. Then she jumped around with both her hands shaking, trying to scare away the bug. Her reaction was very strong and everyone in her group got into fear(恐惧).

The woman finally got the bug off her, but then it landed on another woman in the group. Now, it was her turn to continue the drama.

A waiter rushed to the table. The woman somehow managed to get the bug on the waiter. The waiter stood quietly and looked at the bug on his shirt. He carefully picked up the bug and threw it out of a window.

Drinking my coffee and watching the drama go on, I started wondering: Was the bug responsible (负责的) for what they behaved just now? If so, then why was the waiter not disturbed(干扰)?

He solved the problem perfectly without any fear. It was not the bug, but the inability of those people to deal with the disturbance caused by the bug that disturbed them.

I realized that it was not the shouting of my father or my boss that disturbed me, but my inability to deal with the disturbances caused by their shouting that disturbed me. It was not the traffic jams on the road but my inability to deal with the disturbances caused by traffic jams that disturbed me.

It is not a problem, but my reaction to the problem that creates disorders in my life.
