Many of us have feelings of loneliness as we grow up. Some teenagers can’t stand eating alone in the dining hall, and girls even go to the restroom hand in hand. They fear being called a “loner”. In these cases, we might use the word “loner” in a disapproving (不赞成的) way.
However, it can actually have a good meaning as well. It all depends on our attitude toward being alone.
“It’s hard to feel lonely when you’re trying to master a new skill, practice a hobby or try out a new recipe,” wrote US lifestyle writer Adrienne Breaux. She used to be a terrible cook, but whenever loneliness hit her, she would buy a lot of ingredients and figure out how to make them into delicious dishes. After a few months, she became good at cooking. If you can make use of your solo (单独的) time, you’ll find that it won't trouble you.
| “Honjok” Hit Korea |
| “Honjok” has become a growing lifestyle in South Korea. The word comes from “hon” (alone) and “jok” (tribe 一族). These people eat alone, travel alone, and enjoy being by themselves. “I hope it grows into a self-supporting culture of happiness,” said Jang Jae Young, a South Korean who runs a website about this solo lifestyle called honjok.me. |
| Loner Economy (经济) in Japan |
| There are many solo karaoke bars and solo cafes in Japan. Ramen (拉面） restaurants for solo diners are especially popular. Boards separate each seat. Diners fill out a form to place an order, and then press a button to call the waiter. They don't see the faces of other customers or waiters. |
People are becoming more peaceful about being alone. This doesn’t mean we should totally shut ourselves from the outside world, of course. But it doesn’t hurt to have some “me time” once in a while.
The Loneliness
My heart has grown rich with the passing of years,
I have less need now than when I was young
To share myself with every comer
Or shape my thoughts into words
It is the same to me whether they come or go
As long as I have myself
Let them think I care, though I go alone;
If it lifts their pride, what is it to me
Who am self-complete as a flower or a stone.

Parents with high expectations for their children are nothing new to Chinese kids. However, people often don’t realize that children also have expectations for their parents. What expectations do Chinese children have for parent-child relationships?
China Youth & Children Research Center did a survey on this topic in the United States, Japan, South Korea and China. The survey found that 83.8 percent of Chinese children want to be friends with their parents, the greatest amount among the four countries. This means that they want a more equal（平等的） relationship with their parents.
According to China Youth Daily, traditional Chinese values (价值观) such as respecting one’s elders and the concept of hierarchy (等级观念) are preventing parents from becoming friends with their children. Many Chinese parents criticize (批评) and push their children, as there is lots of competition in school. It requires efforts from both parents and children to create a friendship in family. As children, what can you do to create a pleasant atmosphere (氛围) at home and make friends with your parents? Read on to find out.
Tips to make home a happy place
How can we get along better with our parents, and at the same time, grow into adults ourselves? Here are some tips.
●Act like an adult
If you want your parents to give you more freedom, you should show them that you’re ready to be treated differently. For example, learn to use self-control. Show them that you can manage your time well.
●Open your heart
US psychologist (心理学家) Carl E. Pickhard wrote in Psychology Today that sharing feelings with our parents can lead to positive changes, while not sharing them can cause misunderstandings.
●Care for your parents
Do something nice or helpful for your parents. For example, help them with some home chores, make them gifts or teach them some computer skills. Their trust in you will grow.

Paper or plastic?
After paper, plastic seems to be the most popular material for making banknotes. Compared with paper money, plastic banknotes are stronger and last for a longer time, so people can keep using them. But they are much more expensive to make.
The fifth edition of the Renminbi (RMB) came out on Aug. 30, 2019. These bills will have brighter colors and new security features, which will make printing fake（假的）money even harder. We've been using banknotes for around 1, 000 years. Back in the Northern Song Dynasty, Chinese people made the world's earliest paper money to replace metal coins（金属硬币）. These banknotes were called jiaozi.
Obviously, paper money is cheaper to make and easier to carry. These advantages made it more popular than other forms of money. But now, in the digital（数码的）age, paper money seems to be disappearing for the same reason-what's more convenient than not having to carry any money at all?
My life in Beijing is quite different from that in India. 在中国, 我出去的时候很少带钱。I can pay for almost everything by Alipay. It's amazing. However, if you don't take wallet with you, you'll get into trouble.
-Sam from India
China seems to be heading toward becoming a cashless society. From supermarkets to street stalls（小摊）, people pay by using the WeChat Wallet and Alipay apps on their mobile phones. Sweden is even closer to a future without paper money. Many Swedish banks no longer even have cash on hand.
But there are worries about creating cashless societies. Some say, "It's unfair to the poor and people without too much education.”It's not easy for them to open bank accounts（账户）or deal with mobile phones. And if all of your money is digital, you may lose your money if your accounts are hacked（黑客攻击）.
Although paper money is in a losing war with electronic payment in some countries, it's still a big thing in most parts of the world. It may take a little longer than you think to see it go away.
1.When did Chinese people make the world's earliest paper money?
2.Why is plastic the most popular material for making banknotes? (one reason is OK)
3.What's the advantage of paper money?
4.Please translate the underlined sentence into English.
5.Please translate the underlined sentence into Chinese.

What should you do if there’s an earthquake at school? How can you protect yourself when you are caught in a stampede(踩踏)? 三月二十五日给了我们一个学习有关安全的好机会。
This day is called the National Day of Education on the Safety of Elementary and middle School students(全国中小学生安全教育日). The purpose of the day is to give us more knowledge about safety.
Staying calm is the first and most important rule when facing accidents, but different accidents have different self-protection tips.
A stampede is possible anywhere. If you fall down in a moving crowd, cover your head with both hand. Lean to one side, curl up (卷起) your body and bend (弯曲) your legs.
Earthquakes are common. When you feel the ground shake, drop down, take cover under a desk and hold on. If you are outdoors, find a place away from buildings, trees, and power lines.
When there’s a fire, follow the teachers’ instructions, leave the classroom quickly and use a piece of cloth to cover your moth and nos.
Sports injuries (伤害) may happen while doing sports. Before playing sports,·you should warm up for 15 to 30 minutes.
What do other countries do to keep students safe?
Japan Earthquake Drills (演习)
At public schools in Japan, earthquake drills are held once a month. They teach students safety tips during an earthquake. Regular training helps students escape from earthquake-stricken areas without causing any stampedes.
Australia First-aid (急救) Courses
Most students in Australia take first -aid courses at school. They learn basic first-aid knowledge in the class, such as how to call an ambulance (救护车) and what to do when someone is hurt. The government is trying to make all kids take such courses.
US The Fire Escape
Most US school buildings have fire escapes (火灾逃生口). A fire escape has platforms with stairs and ladders at each floor of a building. Thery are usually made of steel and built outside the building. People can get to the fire escape through a fire exit door or a window. It is not a good idea to jump out of window from higher than two floors. It may hurt yourself.

Most of us have never thought about building an educational toy by ourselves. If we need a learning toy or something, we simply go to the nearest store and buy it. However, things are not as easy in third world countries. With families even having no food to put on the table, buying toys, especially the educational ones, is the last thing on the parents’ minds.
So how can one get these kids interested in science? This was a question that worried the Indian engineer Arvind Gupta so much that he decided to give up a good job and spend his life making toys from things that people no longer want or need!
Mr. Gupta began teaching in the 1970s. While still an engineering student at the Indian College of Technology, he volunteered to teach the children who could not afford to go to school. Upon graduation, he found a good job at India’s Tata Motors and spent the next five years designing cars.
But he soon realized that this was not something he wanted to do for the rest of his life. So he took a year’s training course and took part in the Hoshangabad Science Teaching Program whose aim was to make science fun and exciting for poor children using available materials.
Mr. Gupta found the whole project so satisfying that he decided to leave his high-paying job and focus his attention on designing educational toys that were not only cheap and easy to build, but are also full of scientific principles(科学原理), so that children could get interested in this interesting subject.
When the Internet started becoming a more widespread learning tool, Mr. Gupta created a Toys from Trash website and also recorded over 250 YouTube videos.
Today, over 50,000 children and teachers visit the website daily to download the videos for the toy creations based on cool science. Some young children have become so inspired (鼓舞)that they have even won international science competitions with the help of his creations.

Many of us have had this experience: we lie down in a bed other than our own, perhaps at a friend’s house or in a hotel room, and find it difficult to fall asleep.
Why does it happen?
A new study shows one reason is what the scientists call “first night effect”. They believe that one side of the brain acts as a “night watch” to warn us about possible dangers. It prevents us from getting to sleep on the first night in a new environment.
For the study, 35 young volunteers were asked to sleep in a sleep lab for several days as researchers watched their brain activities.
According to the researchers, on their first night, the left brain was more active than the right brain and people had a hard time sleeping. However, the left brain activity decreased(降低) as days went by, falling even to the point of complete calm. In this process, the volunteers got better and better sleep experience.
The findings show that the different rhythms(节奏) of the sides of the brain affect our sleep. When the two sides work differently, the balance between them is broken. So the brain can’t relax and is sensitive(敏感的) to anything strange around.
“At some level, the brain is continuing to work, even though you don’t realize it,” US professor Jerome Siegel told Smithsonian Magazine. “If something unusual happens, you can be alert(警惕的)”.
More surprisingly, this is like the way some animals sleep. Whales, dolphins, and many birds can sleep with half of their brain while the other half stays awake, with one eye staying open.
The researchers think that it is the result of evolution(进化) and works to protect us in possibly dangerous environments.
If you have ever had first night effect, researchers advise you to bring your own pillow or sleep in a room similar to your bedroom next time you sleep away from home.
| First night effect |
| People’s possible experience | Many people have 1. getting to sleep on the first night in a new environment. |
| The findings of the study | ♦First night effect forces us to stay awake as one side of the brain is alert to possible dangers. ♦As days go by, people’s sleep experience 2. as the left-brain activity falls. |
| The explanations to the findings | ♦On the first night in a new environment, people’s left brain is more active than the right brain and that 3. the balance between them. ♦Our brains continue to work without being realized at night so that we can be sensitive to anything unusual. ♦Some other animals sleep in the similar way, which is thought to be 4. by evolution. |

There are many libraries in Britain. Let's learn something about them.
Public libraries
Most towns in Britain have a public library. A library usually has a large selection of books and other resources, which library members can use and borrow for free.
Britain’s First Public Library
The first Britain’s public library opened in Manchester in 1852. Its first librarian was a man called Edward Edwards. Edwards attended the library’s opening ceremony and two famous writers called Charles Dickens and William Thackeray were there, too.
Services of library
Modern public libraries have something for everyone. Most of them have audio books, CDs, newspapers and DVDs as well as books to borrow.
How to Join a Library
To join a library, go to your local library and fill in a form. You'll receive a library card which is needed when using library services.
Mobile Libraries
Not everyone can get to a library. Some people live far away from towns and cities. Other people find it difficult to go out because they have an illness or a disability. Thanks to mobile libraries, these people can still borrow books.
The libraries are special. Unlike most libraries, which store books in buildings, mobile libraries usually keep their books in a mini-bus. The back of the mini-bus has shelves for the books, and it is big enough for borrowers to step inside and look around. A driver take the mini-bus to a certain place at a certain time, so people know when to expect it. They can return their books and borrow some more.
All Aboard the Library!
A school in London didn't have space for a library inside the building. However, everybody agreed that it was still important to have a school library So, the head of the school, Graham Blake, decided to park an old bus on the school car park and change it into a library. Pupils helped to paint the bus, and after eight months, the new library was ready.

What is the most stressful thing in school? It is probably exams.Exams can put us under a lot of pressure.But some students do well under pressure，while others feel terrible.So，why do some students perform better under stress?
It all comes down to dopamine(多巴胺)．Dopamine is a chemical(化学物质) in our brain that sends signals(信号) to our body.It has many important roles：influencing memory，attention and how we learn.Our brains work best when there is a balance of dopamine — not too much or too little.
大脑通过两种方式控制多巴胺。It either takes out dopamine quickly，or gradually.Exam success can be connected to how fast dopamine goes back to a balance.
What happens when we take an exam? If you become stressed，your brain will start to overload(超负荷) on dopamine.It is like a cup overflowing with water.The quicker you can go back to a balance of dopamine，the quicker you will concentrate，helping you perform better on a test.
Scientists found that，during a test，people who slowly got back to a balance of dopamine scored 8 percent lower.That's the difference between a good mark and a bad mark.
But don't fear，there is some good news.The__study__also__found__that__the__more__practice__you__get，the__less__stressed__you'll__be.So，it turns out that practice really does make perfect.
