My name is Robinson Crusoe, and I was born in the city of York in 1632. My father was a successful businessman. I had two elder brothers. One of them worked in the army(军队) and was killed during the war against Spain. The other was missing one day, and we never knew what had happened to him. My father gave me a good education and wanted me to be a lawyer(律师). 

However, I wanted to be a sailor(海员) and go to sea. My father was very angry with me. He didn't understand why I wanted to leave his house, where I would have an easy and comfortable life.

"Two kinds of people go to sea, " he said. "They are the very poor people and the very rich people. The poor are foolish, having no other ways to live. The rich own ships and can make money with them. You are neither too poor nor too rich, so you should stay at home with your mother and me. Your elder brother didn't listen to me, and now he is dead. If you do not listen to me, you will have a difficult life!"

I tried to do what he wanted me to do, but I couldn't. I spoke to my mother.

"Please ask Dad if he will let me have one voyage(航行) by sea, " I asked her. "When I return, I will live the life he wants me to live. "

Mum was angry. "Your father will not let you go. I don't want you to go to sea either. It's dangerous. "

I argued(争吵) with my parents for another year. Then, I went to Hull with a friend who was going to London by ship. He invited me to go with him, and I agreed. I didn't even tell my parents before leaving. I just went. That was how all my bad luck began.

Have you ever paid attention to your school's guards or dining hall staff(员工)?Would you say"Good morning"to your school's cleaners? For Ding Jiacheng, a high school student, it's a problem that many students don't respect these non-teaching workers. He wanted to make a change.

The boy from the Hangzhou Entel Foreign Language School, together with several other students, worked on a project called "The Invisible (隐身的) Are Great". They hoped more students would see and respect those people who play important roles in their school lives. The project won a prize at the China Thinks Big, a competition held by Harvard University and Tsinghua University to encourage teenagers to study social problems.

"My team members and I sent questionnaires (问卷) to about 158 students,"said Ding."In one question, 56 percent of the students said they would greet those non-teaching workers, while only 17 percent strongly believed that every student should do so."

The team also focused on the communication between students and workers.

"When most students follow the rules of their teachers, one-third of the students go against the rules of the dormitory attendants(宿舍管理员)," said Ding."It shows that students treat non-teaching staff differently from teaching staff."

The main reason, according to Ding, is that students know little about the work done by non-teaching staff. Students also have few chances to communicate with them. Therefore, Ding's team shot videos to show staff working around the school. They also held a basketball match between students and non-teaching staff to help them know more about each other."We've also made a series of stickers (贴纸),"said Ding."We hope these cute images will help young people like the non-teaching staff more."

"The activity helped me understand that we can all make a difference through our creative ideas," Ding said.

Having a blood y nose can make some people nervous, but in most cases, nosebleeds(流鼻血) are easy to stop and not so serious. Around three out of five people will have a bloodynose in their lifetime. Nosebleeds mostly happen among children from 2 to 10 years old and among adults aged 50 to 80.

◆What causes a bloody nose?

Most nosebleeds are caused by picking the nose and dry air. Blowing your nose too often when you have a cold can also lead to nosebleeds. All of these break the tiny vessels(血管) inside the nose, causing them to bleed. Causes of more serious nosebleeds include a head injury, a genetic disease, or, in some cases, a tumor.

◆How to stop a bloody nose right away?

You may know how to stop a blood y nose right away, but it's important to do it properly and safely.

Always sit up straight when your nose is bleeding, and never lie on your back. One of the biggest mistakes in first aid is that you should lean(倾斜) back with a bloody nose, but the best thing to do is leaning forward. The blood needs to go somewhere, and if the person leans back or lies down, it will most likely go down his throat, possibly causing choking(窒息). And try not to put something into your nose.

Pinching(捏住) the nose properly stops or slows the bleeding. Hold the nose for at least five minutes. Do not let go to check for bleeding until at least the first five minutes are up. If you can, keep pinching for longer.

After five minutes, see if the bleeding has stopped. If not, pinch again, but keep it up for 10 minutes this time. Remember: Don't let go to check for bleeding until the 10 minutes are up. If bleeding doesn't stop after that time, pinch it for another 10 minutes if necessary.

Remember that if you can't stop the nosebleed with these ways, see a doctor immediately.

◆What not to do after a bloody nose?

After a light nosebleed, do not lie down until 20 minutes later, but at least 30minutes or even an hour later after a bad nosebleed. Don't lift heavy things or pick your nose for a day. You should not blow your nose for at least two days.

 An international team of scientists says it has discovered two new"super-Earth" type planets about 100 light-years away, one of which may be suitable for life. 

 Unlike any of the planets in our solar system, the nearly 1, 600 known super-Earths are larger than Earth, but lighter than icy planets like Uranus and Neptune. 

 Researchers at Belgium's University of Liège said that they found another one while using Earth-based telescopes to check the existence(存在) of a different planet first discovered by a NASA satellite in the same solar system. 

NASA's satellite found planet LP 890-9b, which is about 30% larger than Earth and orbits its sun in just 2. 7 days. ULi ège researchers used their telescopes in Spain to take a closer look at the planet. That's when the stargazers(天文学家) discovered another planet, LP890-9c, which is 40% larger than Earth and takes 8. 5 days to orbit its sun. 

 Francisco Pozuelos, a researcher, said that the planet could be suitable to life though being a 3. 7 million miles from its sun. Earth, by comparison, is located over 93 million miles away from our sun. "Although this planet orbits very close to its star, at a distance about 10 times shorter than that of Mercury around our Sun, the amount of stellar irradiation(照射) it receives is still low, and could allow the presence of liquid water on the planet's surface, if it has enough air, " Pozuelos said. "This is because the star LP 890-9 is about 6. 5 times smaller than the Sun and has a surface temperature half that of our star. "
