Q: At recess (课间休息), I don't know what to do because all my friends are playing games I don't like or don't want to play. So I end up standing by myself at recess doing nothing. What should I do?

A: In fact, recess was my least favorite part of the school day for Grades 1 to 5.I was never really into playing kick-ball.So, like you, I spent many days at recess standing alone. Take advantage of the extra time you have. I learned that reading a book is the best way to pass time, especially if it is sunny. Books are good for a lonely recess, because they take you out of your world and into another. If reading isn't your thing, then try making new friends. Some other things I would do at recess were chess and paper cutting. Those might be worth trying. Maybe the teach-er who is watching over all the kids needs someone to talk to as well. Whatever you want to do, don't let your time go to waste. Johnny Hayes,15 |
A: Do you believe in time travel, Alex? Because you just dragged me 40 years into the past. When I was 13, half my friends threw themselves into kickball at recess which was too vigorous (剧烈的) for me right after lunch. So, like you, I stood around a lot. Then, one day, my teacher, Susie, asked me, “What do you want to do?” I had no answer for her. But suddenly, it came to me: marbles! I asked a few friends, and they were happy to join me. Now, I'm not suggesting you play marbles, only that you consider what you feel like doing and can make you happy. And one last idea: There's no harm in trying games your friends are playing that you think you won't like. You might just surprise yourself. Philip Galanes, adult |

A UK company Seedlip has released (发布) a gift box that uses packaging (包装材料) made from mycelium (菌丝体). Seedlip is working with Magical Mushroom Company to make the packaging. Magical Mushroom adds mycelium to natural materials that farmers no longer need. As the mycelium tries to break the materials down, it grows threads (线) that form a strong and light material that can be used as packaging. And after being used, it breaks down naturally in about 40 days in a garden. |

Researchers at Fudan University in Shanghai have made a new type of cloth that can be used as a digital display (数字显示) . Professor Peng Huisheng and his team have spent 10 years trying to make "digital cloth" with a silver-plated yarn (银镀纱) and a kind of thread. The cloth could allow a driver to view a GPS map on their arm while driving. It could also help people communicate better if they have language barriers or disabilities.
