Have you ever wished you could change something about your body? If so, you're not alone.

Many people use apps (手机软件) like MeituXiuxiu to edit photos before posting them on social media. Some teenagers are even having plastic surgery (整容) at an early age. Zeng, a senior 2 student from Chengdu, had a double eyelid surgery done this summer. She and many of her classmates believe bigger eyes look more beautiful.

As teenagers' bodies grow and change, they become aware of the smallest flaw (缺陷) in their looks. They are very worried about it. This can affect their health.

According to Huxiu News, over 60 percent of girls refuse to take part in some daily activities such as going to school, because they feel bad about their looks. As much as 31 percent of teenagers do not want to speak up in class because they worry that others will notice their looks.

One of the main causes is advertising, TV shows and social media. Pictures of "perfect" faces and bodies are everywhere. They suggest that having large eyes, pale skin and skinny bodies is the only way to be beautiful. Magazines give tips about how to lose weight "in days". Advertisements suggest that you should whiten your skin using certain products. And TV shows often make fun of overweight characters.

Ever feel like no one really understands you well? “ Pepper” could be about to change all that. Pepper is the first robot to read human feelings. Using its emotion recognition functions(情感识别功能), Pepper can react to people when it is near them－making jokes, dancing and even singing in Japanese.

The man-like robot looks like a small girl. It is four-feet tall with a tablet computer（平板电脑） set to its chest. It has human-like hands, a girl-like body and baby-like voice. It was shown to curious people in Tokyo stores on Friday by Softbank, a Japanese robotics company.

Pepper can examine facial expressions(面部表情)，human voice and signs, then make an answer. Pepper is designed to be a family robot, but it isn’t like Rosie who can do housework on the cartoon. Pepper is used at the home or the store, where we provide fun and entertainment.

Pepper gets power from love inside a family. Not only is he making jokes, makingthem laugh, it can also help people when they are in trouble. In a natural accident, it can help make those people who are sad or lonely feel relaxed, encourage them or make them laugh.

Pepper goes on sale in Japan for around $2,000 in February 2015. For now, several Peppers are at Softbank stores in Tokyo for people to visit. The creators say before selling Peppers, they want the robots to store more knowledge, to do better in gettingalong with human.

Have you ever wished to have an umbrella that makes your hands free? Alan Kaufman has come up with the “Nubrella”, which means “new” + “umbrella”. It is the first truly hands-free umbrella in the world. The inventor says that it stops rain, wind and snow and can keep your head, face and hair dry.

“I never planned to invent a product. I just noticed a problem and had a new idea,” said the inventor. The idea for the invention began on one rainy day. Mr Kaufman was standing in one of his stores. He began to look at people’s umbrellas. He found that they had to try very hard to keep their umbrellas in the right place. At that moment an idea came into his mind. He ran to his desk and drew a picture. In this way, the nubrella was born.

One cool feature of the nubrella is that you don’t hold it like a normal umbrella; you wear it. The shoulder straps (肩带) of the nubrella allow people to be fully hands-free, so when walking in the rain with the nubrella, you are able to use your cell phone or drink a hot cup of coffee. Also, the nubrella will never be inverted (颠倒) in the wind. The new umbrella is far safer than traditional ones, because it has no sharp points.

1.    “Nubrella” is a kind of _____ umbrella.

A. normal            　　 B. hands-free

C. traditional            D. paper

2. --- How can you use the “Nubrella”?

--- You can _____.

A. wear the shoulder straps of the nubrella

B. put the nubrella on your head

C. use your hands to hold it up

D. carry it on your bike

3.Which of the following is not right?

A．"Nubrella" means "new" + "umbrella"．

B．The idea of the nubrella came from the rainy day．

C．Walking in the rain, you'd better take the nubrella．

D．If you go out with the nubrella, you have it in your hands.

Have you had a headache during a test? Have you ever been so worried about something that you have a headache or even can’t sleep at night? If so, then you know what pressure is. Pressure is what you feel when you are worried about something.

This worry in your mind can make your body feel bad. You may feel angry, sad, scared, or afraid－all of which can give you a stomachache or headache.

However, there are different kinds of pressure. Some kinds of pressure are good and others are bad. Good pressure might happen when you’re called to answer questions in class or when you have to give a speech. This kind of pressure can help you to get things better done. For example, you may do a better job on your test if the pressure pushes you to prepare better before the test.

On the other hand, bad pressure can happen if the pressure lasts too long. You may not feel well if your parents are fighting, if a family member is sick, if you’re having problems at school, or if anything else makes you unhappy every day. That kind of pressure isn’t going to help you. And it can really make you sick.

The best way to fight pressure is to have a balanced life. Make sure you keep yourself in mind: Sleep, Exercise, Relaxation, and Food. If you get enough sleep and eat properly, and if you exercise and leave time for fun, you’ll probably fight pressure.
