A single lyric can sweep you up and pull you back to a treasured moment lost in time. It sees no lines of race or nationality. It's universal, generational, multicultural. It gives us hope, joy, harmony, harmony within ourselves and with one another. The great power of music binds us all together, especially when we need it most, when the world seems to need it most. Music is harmonious. And the world can be, too. (注意下划线音节正确发音)

When we think of our childhood, we often think of it as a time of long school holidays, a time of exploration. As well as growing new talents, we also think of this stage of childhood as a time of growing upwards. But the strange thing is our growth actually slows right down. In studying our consumption of energy, scientists have provided one of the reasons why we take so long to grow up. It's a trade-off between growing our body versus growing our brain. We simply can't get enough calories to fully grow both at the same time. (注意下划线音节正确发音)

That's six times more than a generation ago. We've turned the sky into a place to work, rest and play. We are at home in the clouds and right now around the world, a million people are suspended in midair. (注意下划线音节正确发音)

Our species and our technology radically changed the face of the planet. Our blazing success has darkened the lives and blocked the journeys of many other species. But today we have come to understand that our own existence is closely linked to that of the creatures around us. We turn from the hunters we once were to the protectors we are becoming. We cannot really hope to know most wild creatures in their worlds, but occasionally one animal crosses into our world and touches our hearts. And in our concerns for one, we discover how much we treasure all. (注意下划线音节正确发音)

Here in Antarctica, the surface waters are so cold and heavy that they sink. That creates immense rivers of water that flow into the deep where they power a global network of currents. These currents flow from the frozen poles to the warm tropics and back again, linking every ocean. They redistribute heat around the planet, maintaining a climate favourable for life on earth. From producing the oxygen we breathe to controlling our weather, the oceans are our life support system. But there are worrying signs that they are warming at a faster rate than ever before in human history. (注意下划线音节正确发音)

Dickens never forgot these experiences and through his novels he showed the dark side of 19th century society. He wrote about what he saw: the huge houses of the rich and the terrible conditions that the poor lived in.

Do you ever wake up and think, is today going to be a good day or a bad day Well, the ancient Maya believed they could answer that question. The Maya lived here, in parts of Mexico and Central America. They are famous for their complex calendars. In Mayan cities, they closely watched the movement of the sun, moon, stars, and planets. They built their king’s tombs under rays of sunlight. And they waited for the moon to pass here above the palace before they got the crops out of the fields. Their knowledge of the sun and moon helped them make their calendar.

In recent years, more and more ice has been melting. And for one animal, this is a critical issue. A mother bear and her cub rest on a small piece of sea ice. With the melt, they’re forced to swim greater distances to hunt for seals. Their Arctic home is vulnerable to climate change, and this year there has been even less ice than normal. If future ice melts are as extreme as this one, bears like these may starve or drown, lost at sea. This is one of the last pieces of ice now floating. The polar bear’s icy world has melted away.

Macronutrients ['m kr o'nju tr ntz] are in meats, nuts , grains, fish, eggs,and other things. They give us energy and keep us healthy. So, be sure to eat the right amount of macronutrients each day. The reason most junk food is bad for you is because it contains too much of one thing and not enough of anything else. Junk foods may be too high in fat and not have enough protein, for example. It’s OK to have junk food once in a while. But you should try to eat a healthy diet every day. Make sure you get plenty of micro- and macronutrients for your health and wellbeing.

It was the beginning of a totally new way of life. But there was another very important difference between these hunter-gatherers and any of their predecessors. They were settling down. A huge shift, which would help spark Europe-wide revolution. Communities settled down and populations expanded. This could've driven the need to start producing food. And as farming spread, the landscape was transformed Forests were cleared and villages, then towns, then cities would grow, founded by descendants of the small groups of pioneers who first entered Europe around 45, 000 years ago. Those early Europeans were people just like you and me.

Back then, most of Arabia was brutal desert. Is it really possible that a handful of Stone Age people could’ve trekked through hundreds of miles of this and gone on to populate the whole world There is no way they could've done it without more widespread sources of fresh water. So, around 70, 000 years ago, the Arabian coastline was very different to today. Fresh water springs bubbled up all the way along it .If our ancestors attempted this route, they would've found a lifeline. And it’s perhaps no wonder that there seems to have been just ' one successful attempt in our ancestors’ journey.

In 1905, sitting alone on a city bus, Einstein looks back at the clock tower and what he sees is astonishing. In his imagination, as he reaches the speed of light, the hands of the clock appear frozen in time. Einstein knows that back at the clock tower, time is passing normally. But on Einstein's light-speed bus, the light from the clock can no longer catch up to him. The faster he races through space, the slower he moves through time. This sparks the birth of Einstein's “Special Theory of Relativity”, which says that space and time are deeply connected.

The oceans cover 70% of the surface of our planet and yet they are still the least explored. Hidden beneath the waves, there are creatures, beyond our imagination.

In the last years of the nineteenth century, thousands of people came to London to see these works of art of an African society. The public were fascinated but also troubled by what they saw, because it was widely believed that the people of the Dark Continent had no history and no culture and the thing called civilization. In fact, created from the 16th century on-wards in the ancient West African kingdom, these works record Benin's great kings, her wealth, power and the history that Africans were supposed to lack. They are now regarded as one of Africa's greatest treasures.
