How can we stop climate(气候)change? How can we stop air pollution(污染)? How can we live on a green planet? One way is to use clean energy.Clean energy does not harm the Earth.It never runs out.Energy from the Sun is clean.We just need to learn how to get and store more of it.
Plants use energy from the Sun.They use it to turn water and air into sugar.The sugar can be used as food.Scientists know a lot about how plants make food.Some scientists want to get energy from the Sun like plants do.They want to make a machine that can use sunlight to make fuel from water.
Water is made up of two different parts.Breaking water into its parts is hard.Plants do it all the time, though.It is part of how they make food.With energy from the Sun, the new machine will break water into its parts.One of the parts will be used as fuel.Then the fuel is used to make electricity (电).The electricity can power cars, houses, and so on.
This fuel is better for the Earth than gasoline (汽油).It does not pollute the air.Plants can help us learn how to make clean energy!

①Scientists have found that plants can make sounds.

Do you like poems? What do you know about bamboo? Let's read the poem Bamboo in the Rock by Chinese poet Zheng Xie.
竹石
(郑燮)
咬定青山不放松,立根原在破岩中。
千磨万击还坚劲,任尔东西南北风。
Bamboo in the Rock
(By Zheng Xie)
Upright stands the bamboo amid green mountains steep,
Its toothlike root in broken rock is planted deep.
It's strong and firm though struck and beaten without rest,
Careless of the wind from north or south; east or west.
(Translated by Xu Yuanchong)
Bamboo in the Rock is a Chinese poem by a man named Zheng Xie, often called Zheng Banqiao.He liked making art and writing poems about things like bamboo, and they were easy to understand but had deep meanings.
No matter what difficulties the bamboo faces, like bad weather hitting it from every side, it keeps standing up straight.The bamboo is famous for its strength and determination (决心)because it still keeps strong and doesn't break under pressure(压力).
The poem is full of beautiful words about nature, but it's also there to teach us something important. Just like the bamboo, people should stay strong when life is challenging.By facing hard times, we can build our inner strength, just like the strong bamboo.
Young people can learn a lot from this poem because it shows them the importance of staying strong and determined, even when things get hard.The poem reminds teenagers that tests and difficulties can help them grow even stronger.It encourages them to stand up during hard times and never give up, just like bamboo standing tall among the challenges.
