"There are no classmates, no real teachers 4 me. I can surf the Internet or do other things if I want to. It's hard to always stay focused," she said.
Lian prepares a lot 5she takes classes to make sure she will pay attention. She also pushes herself to 6with teachers. Students can 7and answer questions while taking online classes.
But Wen Jiayi, 14, at the Yucai Middle School Attached to Chengdu No. 7 High School, 8 online interaction (互动) isn't enough. "The online teachers don't really get to know me. When I don't hand in homework, all I get is 9short message instead of real concern (关心) ," she said.

Once upon a time, there lived a kind -hearted king. He liked birds and animals, and had a huge bird sanctuary(禁猎区) in his kingdom. He never 1the animals and birds. He even did not kill them for their meat. One day, the king 2 and saw two birds. One bird was flying very high, very quickly. 3 , the other bird just sat on the branch (树枝) and didn't move even a step. The trainer said that he had tried everything he could but still 4 to make the bird move. Soon, the king announced that anyone who could make the other bird move in a week and would be given a bag of gold.
The news spread very quickly. A few days later, an old man reached the king's palace and promised that he would make it 5 the other one. The king asked the trainer to take the old man to train the bird.
The next day, the king went to visit the old man. He was very 6 to see the other bird fly like the first one to great heights in rapid speed. The king was very happy and offered the old man a bag of gold and asked the old man7he had done to make the bird fly in just a week. Without saying too much, the old man simply replied, "I just 8 the branch of the tree where the bird 9to sit"

(A) More than half the young people in China are nearsighted, according to a survey, which called for great efforts to control the condition. The survey found that eight of 10 senior middle school students were nearsighted, compared with 71.6 percent in junior middle school, 36 percent in primary school and 14 percent of 6-year-olds in kindergarten. |
(B) According to experts, one of the best ways to make thankfulness a part of your life is to keep a diary. For example, before you go to bed every night, write down any positive experience you have during the day, no matter how small. Your mental health will gradually improve. |

(C) "It is in giving that we receive," It turns out that this is scientifically right. Studies have shown that putting the well-being of others before our own without expecting anything in return will give us a strong sense of satisfaction. |

(E) Researchers found a clear link between breakfast habits and heart disease risk. Those who didn't eat in the morning were up to 87 percent more likely to cause heart trouble. They did a survey on 6,550 people over 40. Most (59 percent) ate breakfast every day, but 5.1 percent never did, 10.9 percent seldom did, and 25 percent would not eat for a few days. |

A report says that many middle school students spend about 10 hours a day sitting down. And many students like eating sweet food. That also makes them fatter. |
Which is right?
During the novel coronavirus outbreak, hospitals all over China have used smart technology to care for patients and make work easier for doctors. The outbreak will help smart healthcare develop faster in China, according to Xinhua.
Robots lend a hand
Robots are being used to fight the virus. For example, medical workers at the Third People's Hospital of Shenzhen are using robots to do routine (常规的) medical tasks.
Developed by Chinese AI company UB Tech, these robots can offer medical advice, deliver (递送) medicine and disinfect (消毒) wards (病房) and other areas. They can also check temperatures, according to China Daily.
Liu Yue, head of the hospital's fever outpatient services (发热门诊), said the robots have made work much easier. "It greatly reduces our burden (负担), and it can also prevent us from missing infected patients," Liu said.
Remote (远程的) healthcare services
It can be dangerous for medical workers and patients to come into contact ( 接 触 ) with each other. But with remote medical services, doctors at different hospitals can share photos and videos to come up with the best treatment. China's three biggest telecom companies are providing hospitals across the country with 5G support. This allows them to transfer(传送) large amounts of data (数据) quickly.
For example, on Feb 27, doctors in the cities of Beijing, Shanghai and Guangzhou used 5G technology to treat a severely (严重地) ill 67-year-old patient in Wuhan, according to China Daily. By diagnosing (诊断) patients remotely, doctors can protect both themselves and their patients.
AI makes work more efficient (高效的)
Ask Bob is an AI-powered consultation (咨询) platform. Developed by Ping An Smart Healthcare, it can provide users with information about the virus, help people do medical self-checks, check their mental (心理的) health and choose the right face masks, according to China Daily.
Ping An Smart Healthcare has also developed AI software that can read CT images and provide accurate (准确的) analyses (分析) to doctors. This can speed up the diagnostic process and allow doctors to give faster treatment.

Bats like living in dark and wet places. There are all kinds of viruses(病毒).
Bats always live groups, so the viruses can have larger "playgrounds" to grow and become powerful.
Bats are like humans in some way. Our similar genes (基因) make easier for us to become sick with the same viruses.
When bats fly, their body temperature can reach as as 40℃. Such temperature can kill weak viruses, but stronger ones will be alive and continue to grow. Bats have special protection systems allow them to live with viruses without getting sick. Since they can fly, bats can viruses farther and more easily than other animals.
wild animals carry many diseases, it doesn't mean that we should consider them as human's enemies. Each kind of animal plays a role in the ecosystem(生态系统) and all of them are important. The we should learn from virus outbreaks(爆发) is to respect and animals and to live in peace with them, of hunting, killing, or eating them. Only in this way can we create a better world for our next generation.
How would you ask your parents to support your dream? American actress Emma Stone created a PowerPoint presentation (陈述) to get her parents' support.
Stone is a rising star in Hollywood. She played the role of Gwen Stacy, Spider-Man's high school love, in two Spider-Man movies.
The actress said her character was like the girl's in the film. "Gwen is clear on what she wants to do with her life. I think I am just like her."
Stone made up her mind to become an actress at the age of 15. But would her parents agree to her leaving school early and realizing her dream? The young girl decided to use the presentation to help her. "I used a lot of computers when I was young, and my dad's a businessman, so I just thought a presentation is the way to get support," she said.
The presentation is called Project Hollywood and she used pop singer Madonna's classic song Hollywood in it, saying "just please let me move to LA to be an actress."
Her method proved to be a success. In 2004, Stone dropped out of high school and moved with her mother to Los Angeles. She began to study at home after that.
Now Stone is a successful actress with many films to her name. Her next step is to try different things like strange comedies.
