In December or early January, almost everyone wants to plan for a wonderful new year! We plan vacations, and we hope that we can achieve our goals. We make New Year’s resolutions and set big goals! If you carry out your plan successfully, you can improve your life or break your bad habits. Here are some tips for New Year’s resolutions.
Think about the resolutions you made last year.
Have you succeeded? If not, why? Find out the reason and try this year.
Do not make too many resolutions at a time. You’d better go with one at a time.

Set goals that you need to do for the whole year, instead of a few days. Once you have made up your mind, try your best to achieve them.

Although it might seem unspectacular（不那么壮观）, orbiting （环绕运行）around that star is a rocky （岩石）planet that could answer if we are alone in the universe.
Scientists say the planet is a 'Super-Earth' which is the best place to look for signs of life outside of the Solar System(太阳系).
Early indications(迹象) suggest it has an atmosphere（大气层）, and it is neither too hot nor too cold. And it is only 40 light years from Earth
"We could hardly hope for a better goal to perform one of the biggest tasks in science -- searching for evidence（证据） of life beyond Earth."
The planet was found by an international team of scientists who have been studying data from HARPS .
The new planet -dubbed5 LHS 1140b - is ten times closer to its parent star than Earth but because a red dwarf (矮星)is far cooler than our own yellow dwarf, the planet still sits in the habitable zone（宜居带）.

In some science fiction movies，people in the future have their own robots. They help with the housework，and do the most unpleasant jobs.
Some scientists believe that there will be such robots，and they think that robots can talk to people in the future. But James White thinks it will be difficult for a robot to do so. However，they agree it may take hundreds of years. They are now trying to make robots look like people，and do the same things as us. There are already robots working in factories. They do simple jobs over and over again. They will never get bored.
In the future，there will be more robots everywhere，and humans will have less work to do. New robots will have many different shapes . Some will look like humans and others might look like snakes. They could help look for people under buildings after an earthquake. That may not seem possible now，but we never know what will happen in the future!

Big schoolbags have been a serious problem for students for a long time. Maybe your schoolbag is too heavy to carry and it brings you a lot of trouble when you want to find a book to read. Now an e-textbook will help you.
It is said that many Chinese middle schools are going to use e-textbooks. An e-textbook, in fact, is a small computer for students. It is much lighter than a usual schoolbag and easy to carry. Though it is as small as a book, it can hold everything for study. Students can read the texts page by page on the screen, take notes with the pointer (屏写笔), or even “hand in” their homework to their teachers by sending e-mails. All they have to do is to press a button (按开关).
Some people say e-textbooks are good, but some say they may be bad for the students' eyes. What do you think of it?
