Enjoy Nature with Foraging!
Do you enjoy walking in nature Do you like learning about trees and plants You may like foraging! Foraging is searching for something like wild food. It is a lot like a treasure hunt. You look around in places like forests and lakes to find different kinds of plants that you can eat. Foraging is a lot of fun! When you walk in the woods, you can find many kinds of plants. Some of these plants are dangerous. Some of them are good to eat. You can spend many relaxing hours walking around in the wild looking for good plants to eat.
While foraging is a lot of fun, you still have to be careful. It is exciting and challenging to find plants that you can eat, but do not eat them until you are very sure of what they are. Before you go foraging, take a class about it. Learn how the different kinds of plants that you can eat look in the wild. Practice finding them with your foraging teacher. Then join a group of foragers. Look for plants together. Never eat anything until you are 100% sure of what it is. Some people have become sick by accident because they ate a wild plant that was dangerous.
Foragers follow some important rules. They do not gather all of the plants in one area. If you take all the plants from one area, no more will grow there. Do not look for wild plants in areas where there are a lot of cars, like by a road or parking lot. If the area is very dirty, the plants there will not be good to eat and may make you very sick.

Sun Jiarui, a ten-year-old girl from Wuxi, Jiangsu Province, became famous online for her cooking skills. Sun has learned to cook from her father and now she can cook more than 50 dishes. Can you cook If so, what dishes are you good at
For middle and primary school students, being able to cook will become a must. Starting from the 2022 fall term, students are required to take courses on labor (劳动) skills. These include different labor tasks. The first is daily housework. The next is productive labor, such as making traditional handicrafts (手工艺品), and using new technologies like 3D printing. One more type is community work.
Labor education aims to develop students’ basic life skills and good working habits. School education didn’t value it in the past. According to a report, it takes Chinese kids only 12 minutes a day to do housework, compared with 72 minutes for American students each day and 30 minutes for French students.
Liu Fang, a mother of 6-year-old twins in Beijing, is a strong supporter of labor education. In the past years, she has trained her daughters to do household chores and make simple dishes for the family. “By doing housework, their skills can be trained and it’s also good to help them relax”, said Liu.

There is a traditional toy called taiping nijiaojiao. It is a clay toy and also a whistle (哨子) in Zhenjiang, Jiangsu. It has a history of over 1,000 years.
Taiping nijiaojiao is made of the mud (泥) from the local mountain. It takes more than ten steps to make the clay toy, and the key step is to knead (捏) it with your hands. You can knead the clay toy into anything, like animals and plants. The blowhole is the most difficult part to make, for the size of the blowhole makes a difference to the sound. While coloring, you can use traditional cultural elements (元素) that carry good meanings. It’s hard to make taiping nijiaojiao. But when you finally make it, you will feel proud of yourself.
Zhou Baokang, a lover of folk art, learned how to make the clay toy from local artists about 20 years ago. He wants more people to know about it, so he has opened a museum to introduce the clay toy. He teaches kids how to make the clay toy, too.

When looking at the terracotta warriors, you may be amazed at first. Then, lots of questions may come to your mind. Who are the warriors How were they made Why do they have different poses Let’s discover their secrets.
▲
The warriors used to be colorful. Most of them had black hair and pink faces. They wore purple, red and green clothes. But the colors faded when the warriors were dug out. The colors faded in 15 seconds after the warriors were dug out. So fast! Most of the colors came from minerals. For example, the color red came from vermilion (朱砂).
Mystery of hands
Look at their hands. The warriors are holding something. But the things are missing. Scientists think they were holding weapons (武器), such as swords or spears.
Why are the weapons missing
The weapons may be broken during the years.
Thieves may have stolen them.
Maybe craftsmen (工匠) didn’t have time to make the weapons.
Mystery of looks
Ordinary warriors have their hair styles. They don’t wear caps (发冠). Officers wear different types of caps. For example, generals wear bird-shaped caps. Each warrior stands for a real warrior from the Qin army. So no two clay warriors have the same face. They are as tall as real people. Many of them are over 1.8 meters tall.
Mystery of bringing the terracotta warriors back to life
Step 1 Piecing Step 2 Repairing Step 3 Sticking Step 4 Drawing
The restorers (修复者) try to put all the pieces they have in the right places. If some important pieces are missing, they can go back and look for them. It’s like doing a “jigsaw puzzle” (拼图游戏). People wrap up the pieces and send them to the “hospital”. There, “doctors” give them a checkup. The “doctors” repair them with different tools. For the colorful pieces, the “doctors” use some materials to protect their colors. When sticking the pieces of a warrior together, the restorers start from the feet and finish with the head. When sticking a horse, they start with its body. The restorers draw some pictures of the warriors and horses as a record. The pictures show how the warriors and horses are damaged (被毁坏) and repaired. So, people can better study and protect them.

We have seen driverless cars many times in science fiction movies, but today it has come true.
The UK has become the first country in Europe to allow driverless cars on its roads, after a new system was tested for more than 100,000 miles on European roads. The system called BlueCruise comes with the 2023 newly-made cars. The first 90 days of BlueCruise is free, but drivers have to pay extra (额外的) money if they want to continue using it. And it only works on certain roads. BlueCruise is not actually driverless—it is “hands-off, eyes-on driving”. That means it still requires a human to pay attention to the road but the driver can take their hands off the wheel (方向盘) and move their feet away from the pedals (踏板).
The BlueCruise system can read different kinds of road signs. It is also able to watch cars ahead and keep a safe distance (距离). There is a special camera in the car that tracks (追踪) the driver’s eyes to make sure they are watching the road. If their eyes are not on the road, it will send warning sounds. After that, the car itself will slow down and stop completely. BlueCruise also controls the speed and wheel of the car.
The driverless car makes driving a more comfortable experience. It also makes driving smoother and easier. Some scientists think a driverless car is safe because it can help avoid the traffic accidents. However, there are still lots of people who worry about the safety of the driverless cars. The system and cameras in the car may sometimes make mistakes.
