I recently gave my class a task. It was to go to someone and say "I love you" It could be someone you felt sorry to or had never said those words to before.1this, my students were silent, because they were too shy to express love, especially the boys who considered speaking out love not macho (男子汉的).
When I checked their work, Zhang Rui was the first to share his story. "2my sister was born, she has got tons of attention of the whole family. I felt left out and unhappy," Zhang Rui said. "They were not angry with me. Instead, they comforted (安慰) me. When I said ' I love you', they were 3but moved. "
As soon as Zhang Rui sat down, many students put up their hands actively. Du Yang got the chance. "My father and I had an argument one month ago. After that, we4 spoke to each other. When I went back home with the task, I took courage, stepped5and said, ' Dad, I just want to tell you that I love you.' My father's face softened and his eyes watered. He reached out, hugged me and said, ' I love you too, but I have never 6say it.' The next day, my father volunteered 7COVID - 19. Several days later, he called and thanked me for those words. He added that8could be stronger than the power of love and support from family. I believe that my father will have a safe return." With tears in his eyes, Du Yang sat down.
Hands were waving when the bell rang. No 9all my students had expressed love. However, there was still a person in the room 10didn't. It was me. It was my turn to do that.

It was when I woke up from a night's sleep in January. It was only 2 degrees outside, but the cold wind made it feel like it was 15 below zero. I had forgotten to leave my water running a little the night before and now my water pipe(水管) was frozen and my faucet(水龙头) was dry.
I went to get an electric heater which could be put beside the frozen pipe. The heater started to work and began blowing hot air on the frozen water pipe. Being in the cold, with the wind cutting into me like a knife, my fingers had already started to go numb (麻木的), so I stayed inside to wait. I could only hope that this bit of warmth could allow me to get my water again. Finally, after twenty minutes, the water started running through my faucet again. I went back outside into the cold and put my heater away. I looked at the weak January sun shining on the frozen snow and smiled. Then I sent a joy filled with "Thank you" to the sun and returned inside to make myself a hot breakfast.
Sometimes the coldness of this life can get to us as well. It can make our hearts feel icy and frozen. It can keep our kindness and love from coming out to others. Sometimes, though, all we need is a bit of warmth to get us to go again. It can be a simple smile, a kind word, a heart –felt hug, a morning sunrise, a bird's song or any gentle reminder of just how much God loves us. Let's all be thankful for those bits of warmth that help us go again. And let's all try to be that bit of warmth for others every chance we get.
On February 20, 2021, Jasmine Harrison became the youngest woman to row (划艇) alone across the Atlantic Ocean. It took the 21 - year - old swimming teacher just over 70 days to do it.
Ms. Harrison, who's from England, didn't have much experience in rowing long distances (距离). She got the idea three years ago when she happened to be in Antigua.
There she saw the end of the 2017 Talisket Whisky Atlantic Challenge. "I just thought I want to do this so I'm going to do it," she said.
Every year, rowers taking part in the Atlantic Competition set out from the Canary Islands in December and row about 4,800 kilometers across the Atlantic. Some row in teams of two, three or four. Others, like Ms. Harrison, row by themselves.
It wasn't easy. Every day, Ms. Harrison would row for about 12 hours. She rowed about 20,000 strokes(划) a day.
Ms. Harrison had a smartphone that permitted her to talk with family and friends every day. Along the way she saw lots of sea life, including some whales. For several days, she was followed by a small group of dolphins(海豚). "I was in their environment," she said. "It was just amazing."
There was danger, too. Twice, her boat was turned over in the night by large waves. She hurt her elbow quite badly. Another time, she nearly ran into a ship.
Anyway, she kept going. Finally, on February 20, after 70 days, 3 hours and 48 minutes, she reached Antigua-the end of the journey. Ms. Harrison's rowing has made her the youngest woman ever to row alone across the Atlantic. Before, that record was held by Kaitie Spotz from the USA, who crossed the Atlantic as a 22-year-old girl in 2010.
Few people knew about online food delivery (外卖)apps ten years ago, but today, many would find it hard to live without them. For better or for worse, online food delivery services have changed the way we eat.
These services no doubt have many advantages. They provide jobs for millions of people and help restaurants find more customers. Since the apps are very easy to use, they also do good to customers: we can now have meals delivered at any time of day. Not only do these apps save time, they also provide us with plenty of restaurants to choose from. They can buy meals and foods more easily with these apps.
First, they make it even easier to order unhealthy food. Food safety is another problem: it can be hard to know where the food comes from. As delivery men need to send the orders as quickly as possible, some pay little attention to traffic rules. What's more, delivery services are creating too much packaging waste, and this will be harmful to the environment.
There are many advantages of online food delivery services, but we need to make sure that we make the right choices in the long run. We should do our best to avoid waste.

Lots of junior high school students enjoy sports. My classmates and I had a lot of fun at our school's yearly sports meet last week.
It was pretty special for me because I took part in the 800 - meter race for the first time. Though I ran every day, I was still nervous on the day of the meet. Facing the endless runway, I felt like a boat the wind and rain. At first, I thought joining is a victory itself. I started to calm down. Just then, the starting gun and all the runners rushed out like tigers running down a hill. When I finished the first round, I realized that I had run so fast that I had used up almost all my energy. But I had to keep running for the last 100 meters. Blue veins(青筋) stood out in my forehead and I felt like I couldn't Looking at the runners in front of me, as they got closer to the finishing line, I really wanted to stop running and sit down. I told that perseverance(毅力)is a victory itself and it filled me with strength again. With my remaining strength, I tried my best to run to the end of the track.
I ended up in seventh place. This might have been a small to other people, but it made me feel happy and excited.
Most of us are used to using the hand dryers (干手器) in public restrooms. They're surely very convenient- all we need to do is to hold up our hands for a few seconds until they're dry. And more importantly, they should be safe. However, a new study found that hand dryers actually spread more dangerous bacteria(细菌).
In the study, experts chose three hospitals in total, which were in the UK, France and Italy. They were required to provide both hand dryers and paper towels (纸抽) for people to use. Two restrooms (men's and women's) are in each hospital.
The scientists found that when only the hand dryer was available, the amount (数量) of bacteria in the restrooms was 27 times higher than on other days. According to the study leader Mark Wilcox, at Leeds University, UK, hand dryers spread harmful bacteria all over the room. This means that if people use these dryers, it's probable for them to pick up more bacteria.
"The reason is because some people do not wash their hands properly," Wilcox said. In other words, poor hand -washing causes a large amount of bacteria to be left on your hands. And through the hand dryer, it will spread more in the toilet.

Atlantis, a beautiful and wealthy island, is supposed to exist(存在) there over 11,000 years ago. In the middle of the Atlantic Ocean (大西洋), it was a center for trade. Its people were very wealthy and powerful. The people there lived a happy and rich life. Their influence began to spread to Europe and Africa.
The weather was very good in Atlantis, and therefore people could grow food all year around. Many different kinds of vegetables, fruits and nuts grew there, and a lot of different animals lived on the island, including elephants.
Atlantis was the home of Poseidon (波塞顿), the Greek God of the Sea. Poseidon had ten sons. Many of the island's hills, fields and rivers were divided among the ten brothers. The eldest son, Atlas, was the first king of Atlantis. He controlled the island's central hill and its area nearby.
For centuries the people of Atlantis lived simple, honest and happy lives. However, over time they began to change. They enjoyed the power they had and wanted to have more of it. When the God Zeus (宙斯) saw how bad the people of Atlantis were, he was very angry and gathered the other gods together. At last in one short day and a half, the island of Atlantis, its people and its memory were missing forever, covered by the sea.
