Clothes are traditionally made of natural materials, such as cotton, leather and wool. They are all from plants or animals, but that doesn't mean they're friendly to the earth. For example, farmers have to use a lot of chemicals to grow cotton plants.

    Scientists are now looking for new ways to make clothing materials. They hope the new materials are both comfortable and good for the earth. Scientists have worked out how to make materials out of cornhusks (谷壳), chicken feathers and rice straws.

    "They used to be useless things. We always have a problem of how to deal with them," Yang, a scientist says. "Now, we can turn them into beautiful materials. Chicken feathers are better than other things. They have small air pockets like honeycombs. That means it will be very warm if you use them to make a jacket or sweater, and I think more and more people will like to buy these kinds of clothes."

Have you ever {#blank#}1{#/blank#}(访问) Shanghai? It is an international city.It's famous for its night views and {#blank#}2{#/blank#}(shop) centers. It is one of the largest {#blank#}3{#/blank#}(city) in the world. It is also {#blank#}4{#/blank#}(know) as the"Shopping Paradise(天堂)"because there are a lot of shops and huge shopping centers. So it is not surprising that many {#blank#}5{#/blank#}(游客) come to visit Shanghai every year to shop.

If you go to Huaihai Road, you will find Times Square, a huge shopping center. You won't have any problem {#blank#}6{#/blank#}(get) clothes, food, toys,and lots of other things. If you go to Pudong District, you {#blank#}7{#/blank#}(看见) the Nanpu Bridge and the famous Oriental Pearl Radio & TV Tower.

Shanghai is also an excellent place to try new food.{#blank#}8{#/blank#}(是否) you like Indian food, Western food or Japanese food, you'll find it all in Shanghai.

Road accidents keep happening in every city, on every road at any time. Traffic rules are made to keep order on the road. They can also help to keep the pedestrians (行人) safe. 

The pedestrian has as many rules to follow as the driver of a car. You should walk on the sidewalk or at the edge of the road. Always look carefully before you walk across the street. If you ride a bike, don't ride in the middle of the road or look around to talk. If you drive, you should slow down at the traffic lights. You must always wear a seat belt (安全带). Without the belts, both the driver and the passengers may be badly hurt in a sudden accident. 

Traffic rules are also called Road Safety rules. The maxim (格言) for all road users is "Thinking about others". It's important for everyone to follow the traffic rules.

How to be a responsible student?

As teenagers, we are the future of our country and we need to be responsible.

 Do you know Chatbots(聊天机器人) and other AI programs(人工智能项目)? Do {#blank#}1{#/blank#} ( student) need them at school? Do teachers need them at school, too? People look at it in different ways.

 Some people think Chatbots are useful to help students {#blank#}2{#/blank#} their study. They can give answers to {#blank#}3{#/blank#}( them) questions. They can guide (引导) students with questions. Chatbots can work seven days a week and twenty-four {#blank#}4{#/blank#} ( hour) a day. They can work with teachers, too. They can help teachers do lesson plans.

 However, Chatbots {#blank#}5{#/blank#}( be) not always useful. Students need {#blank#}6{#/blank#} ( learn) things about computer first. They may use computers later, {#blank#}7{#/blank#} now they learn penmanship (书法) and spelling at school. Some teachers do not use AI programs {#blank#}8{#/blank#}( good), so they can't get much help from them for their teaching and students. AI programs do not have human connection(人类连接). Students need that in their school life. A Chatbot only {#blank#}9{#/blank#} ( give) students answers. {#blank#}10{#/blank#} teacher knows how to help students get answers.
