It is believed that reading is not only good for our self-development but also quite easy to do.There are so
many benefits(好处)of reading books..
Reading is a good way to deal with stress.In one study,reading was found to be effective()in
reducing stress.When you are reading books,you can keep the noisy world out and needn't worry about the
problems that bother you.This means that reading can help you feel relaxed.
Reading protects brain health.If you read at least once a weck,you probably have a better ability to
understand at an old age than those who do not.Because when you are reading,you actually keep thinking,even
imagining.And that is good exercise for your mind.
Reading is an excellent bedtime activity.On one hand,reading before bedtime can help you fall asleep in a
shorter time.On the other hand,it is better for your eyes to hold a book while going to bed instead of your
mobile phone.
All in all,there is no doubt that reading is good for you.Why not pick up a book to read right now?

围棋
Weiqi,also known as Go in English,is a black and white board game from ancient China.Th
game is considered one of the Four Arts for ancient Chinese literati(文人学士)to master.Beside
Weiqi,they had to learn Chinese calligraphy(shu),painting(hua)and guqin playing(qin).
Weiqi has a history of over 4,000 years,even older than Chinese chess.According to some historical
records,Weiqi was known as Yi in its early years.It is said to have been invented by Emperor Yao.Seeing that
his son got angry easily and didn't like to study,the emperor was quite worried.So he decided to find something
to educate his son,and a board game came to him.
The rules of Weiqi are simple:using black and white stones,two players take turns putting their stones on
empty cross points of the board.The aim is to surround()a larger total area on the board while stopping
one's own stones from being taken by the other side.Stones do not move and are only taken off the board if they
are completely surrounded.
The scene of two people playing Weiqi appears in many traditional Chinese paintings.The image()of a
player holding a stone over the board,looking for a place to put it,was later turned into a famous Chinese idiom
(成语),which means“unsure about making a move'”.The idiom is still widely used today.
With its development,Weiqi grew more popular.Later,it spread to other Asian countries and Western
countries.Today,it has become an international board game.

In science museums,you usually see animal specimens()lying silently.Now they are not quiet
anymore.Thanks to Al,visitors to a museum in England can talk to them now.
The museum works with an AI company so that it is possible for people and the natural world to
communicate with each other.It brings 13 of its specimens back to life.
Visitors only need to use their smartphones to scan the QR codes()next to the specimens to begin
talking with them-either by text or voice.The animals will reply as if they're still alive.
This is a new way for people to learn about animals.The museum wants to see how this can help people
connect with nature better.
"This is just a try using AI technology in nature science.Will it help people know more about the specimen
animals?Will it influence people's opinions about them?For example,will people like the mouse better after
hearing its voice?We are not sure,said Jack Ashby,a worker of the museum.
And you don't have to speak English.The animals are multilingual.So no matter what languages you
speak,the animals can talk to you in a way that's easy for you to understand.
The project engineers hope to make people care more about the biodiversity crisis(生物多样性危机).
According to the most recent research,wildlife populations dropped by 69%between 1970 and 2018.And
animals are dying out at a faster rate.
Let's hope the new technology will be both fun and helpful.

Let's try our best to protect the environment
Dear friends,
My name is Li Hua.As we know,we have
only one earth.But in recent years,many
disasters happened on the earth and unusual
weather appeared very often.All these bad things
were caused by the terrible environment,but the
terrible environment was caused by humans.As
students,what should we do?
First,we need to spread some knowledge to
protect our environment.For example,we can
give talks on how important the environment is.
It's bad for our health to live in a bad
environment.Second,we're supposed to save
water and energy in our daily life.Third,in order
to reduce air pollution,it's better to go to school
by bus,by bike or on foot.Fourth,the garbage
can be divided into four categories:recyclable,
harmful,dry and wet waste.Before putting the
garbage into the dustbins,we should learn how to
sort it.And we can use reusable bags instead of
plastic bags.Last but not least,no business,no
killing.It should be noted that there are never
wild animals as food because they are part of the
environment.It's time for us to protect wild
animals,
If we all keep doing these things,I believe
the environment will be better and better.Let's
try our best!
