" It seems that the dog has no owner, " his mother said, "I think we should give this little one a new home. " David was so happy that he couldn't stop6 . He decided to give the dog a name. At last, the dog7 Bobbie.
One afternoon, Bobbie suddenly barked 8 the door when David was doing his homework. David saw 9 woman standing outside. "Excuse me, I saw your poster and recognized the dog in the picture. That's my dog! He went missing last month. "
Bobbie was wagging his tail happily and jumped around the woman. That meant he recognized his owner 10 .
"Yes, he's here, " David said.11 he didn't want to say goodbye, he knew that Bobbie should go home with his owner.

In a quiet forest, animals were worried because their drinking river dried up. Deer dug holes, rabbits 1 for water, but nothing worked. Oliver was a young owl（猫头鹰）. He sat on a tree and watched with his large round eyes. "Maybe we should 2 something different, " Oliver thought. He noticed ants carrying water drops toward the same direction every day. "Why are they going that way?" he wondered. He followed the ants with 3 and saw a stone. Under the stone lay a covered water hole. He moved the stone away with his4 claws（爪子）. Soon, fresh water came out. The animals cheered 5 , jumping and dancing around the water hole. But the fox laughed loudly, "You were just 6 ! This is nothing special!" Oliver replied, "Solutions come from thinking and 7 what others do. "
One day, a big storm came. Other animals were 8 and they didn't know what to do. Oliver led them to a hidden place under a large old tree. "How did you know this place?" asked a rabbit. "I flow around and eventually found this place last night. " Oliver answered. The storm swept through the forest, but they stayed safe. After the storm, the animals rebuilt their9 . They realized Oliver's observation ability and kindness had saved them.
Now they often sit under Oliver's tree and learn to 10 nature's messages. The forest is full of life again.
Amy was a quiet girl who loved reading but hated attention. She felt nervous when her English teacher, Mrs. Green, announced a school play. "Everyone needs to join, "Mrs. Green said with a smile.
Amy's friend, Emma, spoke quietly, "You'd be perfect for a role! Think about it!It' ll be fun!"
"Fun? Not for me, " Amy replied softly. "I'd rather stay behind the scenes. "
But Mrs. Green encouraged her. "Amy, even if you don't like speaking, you can still help. How about playing the Cheshire Cat in Alice in Wonderland? You only need to smile and disappear—no words to remember. "
Amy thought for a moment. "Just smiling and disappearing?"
"Yes, " Mrs. Green said. "And maybe a little bit of playful fun. "
Amy nodded, though she wasn't sure. During practice, she stood quietly in the corner, practicing her smile of mystery. One day, the lead actor, Tom, forgot his lines. The room went silent.
"I……I can't remember, " said Tom, and his face turned red.
Without thinking, Amy stepped forward. She waved her arms and made funny faces as the Cheshire Cat. The class laughed, and Tom relaxed.
"Great job, Amy!" Emma cheered.
Mrs. Green smiled. "You' re better at this than you think, Amy. Don't doubt yourself. "
On the day of the play, Tom faltered again. The audience started to talk quietly. Amy's heart raced, but she remembered what she had done during practice. With a deep breath, she jumped into action, waving her arms and making silly faces. Her movements made the Cheshire Cat come to life. The crowd laughed, and Tom could pick up his lines and continued his part.
After the play, Mrs. Green talked to Amy. "You were wonderful, " she said. "You showed everyone that even without words, you can make a big difference. You taught us that silence isn't emptiness——it's a space for imagination. "
Amy smiled. For the first time, she felt proud of being quiet.
In 2019, I started learning Chinese at the Confucius Institute（孔子学院）in London. Though I spoke several foreign languages, Chinese felt totally new to me. Characters looked like difficult pictures, but their beauty attracted me into learning Chinese. Tones（声调）reminded me of singing, and sentences followed rules I'd never seen before. Every lesson brought both challenges and surprises.
Soon, I realized language was just the key to a greater treasure: China's rich cultural world. My teachers introduced me to Tang poem' short yet powerful lines, which painted lively scenes in just a few words. Ancient books like The Book of Songs showed how poetry expressed Chinese thoughts long ago. My interest grew into different areas. Philosophy（哲学）classes taught me about Confucius' wisdom. Art history opened my eyes to ink paintings where mountains and rivers seemed to dance on paper.
One exciting discovery was about China's powerful women. I met stories of Fu Hao, a brave army leader from ancient times, and Wu Zctian, the only fcmale emperor. Their lives showed women shaped China's history in special ways that textbooks sometimes forget.
These experiences lit a dream in me: to build a cultural bridge! Why not share these amazing stories through a magazine? I pictured pages filled with Chinese tradition——tea art, myths（神话）, festivals, and those wonderful poems. The magazine would use simple English. Many people here in London find Chinese culture distant, but colorful photos and interesting articles could bring it closer.
Now, whenever I write, I imagine curious teenagers turning the magazine's pages, eyes widening at China's wonders. My journey began with simple"nihao" but became an adventure connecting two worlds. As long as people stay interested, this bridge between cultures will keep growing.
Check out these tips to reduce your single-use plastic（塑料）waste at your next party. EY ELLA SCHWARTZ | |
○Include a note on the invitation announcing that your party will be plastic free. ○Fill your reusable bags with party snacks like cookies and candies from the bulk section(where food is sold without packets) of the store. ○Instead of balloons and plastic signs, decorate the space with homemade things: paper balls, signs made with cloth, and paper chains. Cut out round of colorful paper to use instead of glitter（小发光物）。 ○If it's your birthday and you are expecting presents, ask your family and friends for plastic-free gifts like homemade cakes, handmade gift cards, or tickets to something you could do together, such as a day at the zoo. |
▶Serve food on regular plates with metal forks or chopsticks. ▶Offer drinks in washable cups instead of plastic ones. ▶Offer finger food like fruit pieces, small cakes, and sandwiches—no plates necessary! ▶ Put fruit into a large bowl of ice-cold water for a special drink. ▶ Cover tables with old newspapers or unused paper. Let friends draw on it during the party! It's fun and turns rubbish into art. |
○If you want to give your friends party favors(gifts for guests), put them in paper bags. ○Fill the bag with plastic-free objects like crayons, colored pencils and books instead of little plastic things. ○Don't give out plastic-wrapped（包装）candy as party favors. Instead, offer your guests homemade cookies or cupcakes when they leave. | |
For more than three months, the world has been very excited about a new AI model called DeepSeek-R1. The company behind it, also called DeepSeek, has its main office in Hangzhou, Zhejiang.
The new AI first appeared on January 15. In just one week, it became the top free app in the App Store. What makes it so special?
Vinayak Hegde, an engineer from Microsoft, said DeepSeek-R1 is cool because it is a reasoning model（推理模型）. This is a new kind of AI. Other AI models, like ChatGPT-4. 0, usually just give direct answers. But DeepSeek-R1 is more like smart detective（侦探）. When it solves a problem, it shows all the steps of how it got the answer!
According to DeepSeek, the new AI model works as well as other famous models in difficult tasks like math. However, it uses much less computer power. It also costs far less money to develop——only about 40 million yuan (5. 57 million US dollars). American companies spend hundreds of millions more to create similar AI models, said a US tech expert, Marc Andreessen.
The success mainly came from a new training method the scientists used. Instead of traditional methods, DeepSeek uses Reinforcement Learning. Here's how it works:The AI tries different ways to solve tasks. If a method works well, the AI keeps using it. If it doesn't, the AI tries a new way. The more people use the AI, the better it becomes at finding solutions. This helps DeepSeek-R1 improve its step-by-step thinking and solve harder problems over time.
Another key point: DeepSeek-R1 is open-source. That means everyone is free to get a copy of its working instructions. They can also change the instructions for their needs. Being open-source is very important for sharing knowledge and making technology better for everyone, said Liang Wenfeng, who set up DeepSeek.
