The world's first fully hydrogen-powered train (氢动力火车) line has officially begun running in Germany. The trains create very little pollution, just giving off water, which comes out as steam(水蒸气). They are {#blank#}1{#/blank#}(true) better for the environment than traditional trains. Besides, the trains make almost no noise. That's good for people both inside {#blank#}2{#/blank#}outside the train. We can believe that those trains will be much {#blank#}3{#/blank#}(popular) in the future.

A French company built Coradia iLint trains. On August 24th, 2022, the five hydrogen-powered trains {#blank#}4{#/blank#}(make) a 62-mile trip in Germany. The new trains are part of {#blank#}5{#/blank#}$93 million project by Regiona Transport Society of Lower Saxony (LNVG), LNVG {#blank#}6{#/blank#}(test)the hydrogen-powered trains since 

2018. It's a great success for LNVG {#blank#}7{#/blank#}(put) its trains into use.

There's a hydrogen station on the line to refuel (加燃料) the trains. But since the trains can go about 620 miles before they need more fuel, they only need to fill up once a day. The trains can go as fast {#blank#}8{#/blank#}90 mph — about the same as those traditional trains.

In many {#blank#}9{#/blank#}(country ), hydrogen-powered trains are a smart choice. The city of Frankfurt, Germany has already ordered the Coradia iLint trains. France and Italy have ordered several of {#blank#}10{#/blank#}(they). Germany is planning to use more hydrogen-powered trains instead of traditional ones. The new trains will lead a trend (趋势) of environmental protection.

Come on! Let's create a safer environment!

 "Have you ever heard that it's impossible to fold a piece of paper more than seven times? Actually, it is just a popular myth. 

The myth refers to folding a piece of paper in half many times in any direction. The paper is folded in half. Try it for yourself with a piece of notebook paper. ____ But when you make the fifth and sixth folds, you'll notice that it's increasingly hard to fold the paper. Why does it happen? Because the number of the layers (层) of paper doubles with each fold. For example, after the sixth fold, you're left with 64 layers of paper. If you have strong hands, you may be able to make that seventh fold. If you start with a piece of paper that is 0.01 centimeters thick, it'll be as thick as a notebook after seven folds. And it would seem impossible to make more folds. At this point, you may be thinking that the paper-folding myth doesn't sound much like a myth.

However, in 2002, a high school student named Britney Gallivan proved the idea wrong. Britney successfully folded a 1.20-meter-long roll of toilet paper 12 times (note that she used single-direction folding). She also developed a math rule. This is convenient. It allows you to find out the maximum (最大的) number of possible folds based on paper thickness, paper length, and direction of folding.

Since Britney's success, many people have managed to fold a single piece of paper more than 7 times. Students even folded a piece of toilet paper a total of thirteen times. The toilet paper they used was about 4,000 meters long!

There is a competition for photographers (摄影师) of wildlife in the Natural History Museum in London every year. This year, the competition had about 50,000 photos.These photos come from different parts of the world. They take us underwater, deep into the woods, and high above cities. All of them show different kinds of life on earth.

In the end, the great prize went to Laurent Ballesta. The French photographer won the prize for his photo of a horseshoe crab. In the photo, the horseshoe crab looks for food in the sea. Three little fish follow it closely. They may hope to eat what the horseshoe crab misses.

Horseshoe crabs are known as "living fossils (化石)". They have lived for at least 445 million years and stayed almost unchanged. They're now in great danger, however. What happened to them? In the 1960s, scientists found something surprising. The blue blood of horseshoe crabs can be used for scientific study. As a result, hundreds of thousands of them are caught each year.

For a long time, Ballesta took photos of horseshoe crabs in the sea. His winning photo took the judges (评委) by surprise. "To see a horseshoe crab so alive and well, in such a beautiful way, was fantastic," said one of them.
