Give your dead batteries a new life. Recycle them!
Batteries (电池) are used to power clocks, computers, tools and more. However, your batteries have some serious power when their lives are over.
WHY TO RECYCLE BATTERIES:
Remember, batteries are harmful waste. This means
we should properly throw them away. You may not think
one little battery can cause that much pollution. But don't think of it as just one battery—there can be millions. In Canada, each person uses about 20 single use batteries every year. That's about 700 million batteries! If all these batteries end up in landfills (垃圾填埋场), the heavy metals inside them can get into the water, land and air. It can be harmful to humans and wildlife.
By recycling single use batteries instead of throwing them away, you can cut down pollution and also help save energy. All batteries are mainly made of plastic and valuable metals. Through recycling programs, dead batteries can be changed into something useful like steel products, or even new batteries!
HOW TO RECYCLE BATTERIES:
Make a difference by starting to collect batteries at your
home or school today. You can prepare a box for battery
collection and invite friends, family and classmates to bring in
old batteries to be recycled.
There are many safe ways to deal with your batteries. You can:
● Find a Recycle public collection station near you.
● Ask the store where you bought the batteries if you can return them there.
● Communicate with your local city government to find out if there are special programs for recycling used batteries!

Whether from news reports or social media articles,you may know that 5G is coming.
5G is the 5th generation network. It is a new network (网络)after 1G,2G,3G and 4G and it can connect everyone and everything together. 5G networks will cover many cities in China soon. 5G means super fast data (数据)speed,one can download a two hour movie for fewer than 10 seconds,and it
is making our lives more and more convenient.
5G will make self driving cars possible.

The Long March 5 rocket, carrying the Chang'e 5 spacecraft, blasted(发射)off from the Wenchang Spacecraft Launch Site on the coast of southern island province of Hainan at 4:30 a.m. on Nov. 24, 2020. Since then Chang'e has become one of the most talked about names among the Chinese.
“Chang'e 5 is one of the most difficult and
challenging missions (任务) in China's aerospace history.Chang'e 5 has a total takeoff mass (起飞质量) of 8.2 tonnes, is expected to carry out unmanned rendezvous (交会) and docking (对接) in lunar orbit,” the CNSA said. “And about 2 kg of samples (样本) are expected to be collected from the moon. Then the returner will return to North China's Inner Mongolia in mid December. The whole flight will last more than 20 days,” the CNSA added.
In this century, so far only China has successfully put robotic spacecraft on the surface of the moon: Chang'e 3 in December 2013, and Chang'e 4, which in January 2019 became the first spacecraft to land on the far side of the moon. Chang'e 4's rover (月球车), called Yutu 2, is still operating, studying the moon for nearly two years later.
Chang'e 5 is called a milestone (里程碑).Its success will help us a lot for future deep space exploration such as
sampling and take off from Mars, asteroids (小行星) and other celestial bodies (天体).
“Chang'e” is taken from ancient Chinese legend (传说). It is not only the name of a beautiful goddess in ancient Chinese legend, who flies to the moon and lives there, but more importantly, it becomes a code name of the moon probing project in China, expressing the determination (决心) of the Chinese people to “rush to the moon”.
