Teacher: Welcome to this week’s book club. Our book this week is The Wonderful Wizard of Oz, about a girl Dorothy.

A strong wind takes her and her dog Toto from home to the magical Land of Oz. To go back, she needs help from the Great Wizard Oz. On the way, she meets the Scarecrow, the Tin Woodman and the Cowardly Lion—they also want the wizard’s help: the Scarecrow wants a brain, the Woodman a heart, the Lion courage. They go together, and many exciting things happen. Now, Emma, what do you think of the book?

Emma: I love Dorothy and her friends’ exciting story. But the most interesting part is: each wants something from the wizard, but finally finds it in themselves.

Teacher: Can you give an example?

Emma: My favorite character, the Scarecrow. He thinks he’s not clever and wants a brain, but he always finds a way out. He even has the idea to make a boat to cross a river. He’s clever—he just doesn’t know it.

Ethan: So we already have those qualities, and just need to find them?

Emma: Yes, that’s the story’s key idea. It’s a great book about finding our own values.

Teacher: You’re right. We just need to learn more about ourselves and recognize the good qualities we already have, like the book’s characters.

Do you often forget to drink water between classes? Try the new “Smart Cup”—a water bottle that talks to you! When it glows (发光) green, it means “Good job”. When it turns orange, it’s saying “Time to drink!” It even connects to your phone’s health app.

This smart cup acts like a mini teacher. Take a photo of your lunch, and it checks if you need more vegetables or protein (蛋白质). Want to eat ice cream? The bottle might say, “Try yogurt first.” Every Monday, the app shows the intake you drink, like “8L this week”. Drink enough water for 5 days, and you can get a funny cartoon sticker (贴纸) in the app. Chen Kai, a 7th grader from Shanghai, says, “I even get free cookies with enough stickers.”

What’s cooler? It turns classmates into health partners. When someone’s cup turns orange, his classmates will say, “Drink up.” School nurse Dr. Chen says, “It’s like having a health teacher in your bag.” But Dr. Li tells

everyone, “Your cup can’t do sit-ups for you! Play baseball or jog with friends every day.”

Teen Health magazine found 70% of Smart Cup users eat more fruits. “It’s like a game!” says Chen Kai, shaking his glowing bottle. “Now I even finish all the carrots in my lunchbox!”

Li Shizhen, a famous medical scientist of the Ming Dynasty, is known as a great master of medicine in China. He worked hard on medicine to save sick people.

Li was born in 1518 in Hubei. Both his grandfather and father were doctors. Li’s grandfather was a country doctor who travelled from place to place with a bag of herbs (药草). Such doctors were called Lingyi (bell doctors) because they could tell people about their arrival by ringing a bell. Li’s father was also a famous doctor in their local area.

From childhood, Li went to the mountains with his father to pick herbs, gaining wide knowledge about animals, plants and medicine. Although Li’s father hoped his son could get a government (政府) job, Li failed the exam three times. He then turned his attention to medicine.
