Five years is a short time in the long history of China. But as for the digital world, there are a lot of changes.

    Now we can talk easily with friends on Wechat. When shopping, we needn't carry much cash because most of the stores accept Wechat Pay and Alipay. And online shopping becomes a part of our life. For example, we can buy train and plane tickets on different apps in a minute. If we want to go somewhere, it is easy to find a Mobike as well as a sharing car on the street.

    We may not realize how these changes decide our life, but we never stopped and will not stop moving forward. China decided to set up the Xiongan New Area in Hebei Province on April 1st, 2017. It will be a smart city in China in the future. What's more, robots will play an important role in looking after the old people in five years. In an old people's home of Hangzhou, the robots called Ah Tie work quite well.

    Thanks to the developing digital world, our life is becoming better and better.

    Today is Emily's 15th birthday. The following are some presents she receives.

    Do you know what is useful to stop a cold? It is your body working against the virus（病毒）that makes you uncomfortable when getting a cold, but not the virus Itself? So if you are strong and the virus is strong enough, too, you will feel terrible.

    Vitamin C won't stop a cold

    It is said that Vitamin C helps you beat the cold. However, many tests have shown that it does not stop colds. It only helps you feel a little bit better.

    Staying indoors won't protect you

    Cold viruses like to stay on your computer mouse or desk. A study found that 47%of the viruses Indoors are on the desks, 46%are on the computer mice, and 45%on telephones.

    Wearing more clothes won't keep you away from colds

    Colds are more common in autumn and winter. That's because the cool, wet and cold weather drives people indoors where viruses may more easily jump from one person to another. And the peak（高峰期）in colds is in September and early January, because students come back to schools after the summer and winter vacation.

    Old grandma's chicken soup is right

    Grandma's chicken soup is a traditional way to help you get well. Scientists say it is true. The chicken soup does help to beat a cold. Many canned（罐装）soups are just efficient（有效的）as homemade ones.

    Arctic fox (北极狐) is a kind of small fox that lives in the Arctic. It grows about 50 centimeters (厘米) long, not including its tail, 30 centimeters tall and weighs from 3 to 7 kilos.

    The Arctic foxes are white or blue in color. The white ones are white in winter, but gray-brown in summer. The blue ones are blue-gray all year round. The Arctic foxes have long, thick hair that is called fur (毛皮). And the long fur covers their whole bodies, including both their cat eyes and rabbit feet, to keep them warm in the low temperature in the Arctic.

    The Arctic foxes feed mainly on birds, birds' eggs and other small animals. Teamwork is the way they look for food, and they don't like to do that alone.

    Baby Arctic foxes are very lovely. They don't open their eyes until a week after their birth. For the first half of the year, their parents offer them food. They begin to look for food on their own when they are about six months old. The next year they can live alone.

    Today the number of the Arctic foxes is becoming smaller and smaller, because people kill them for their fur to make beautiful coats for money. Something must be done to protect the Arctic foxes.
