Molly was having a bad day. When she got out of bed, she stepped on her favorite toy and broke it. When she went into the bathroom to brush her teeth, she dropped the toothbrush on the floor.

Even in early times, people could realize the importance of dreams and knew that dreams gave meaning to life. Every great achievement has been the result of years of dreaming. If a person has a dream and holds fast to it, he or she will find a way to bring it into reality.

Children do not have much experience or knowledge. However, they are natural dreamers. We should not laugh at them for being naive. Many great men were dreamers when they were children. One such dreamer was Thomas Edison. He used to be ostracized (排斥 )when he was in primary school, but his achievements were greater than everyone else s in his time.

Teenagers and young people should also be encouraged to dream. The world is full of successful teenagers and young people. They dreamt and their dreams changed their lives and even the world. Steve Jobs and Bill Gates are the good examples. They have developed technology and brought great progress to human besides making money for themselves.

Older people should believe that it is never too late to dream and that human mind is never too old to make dreams turn into reality. Colonel Saunders realized his dreams at the age of 67 and set up the biggest fried chicken company(KFC)in the world.

To dream is a wonderful ability which can lead to wonderful results. Olympic records were broken by players who were brave enough to dream. No one is too young or too old to dream and to make dreams come true

Whether the legend was true or not, the discovery of coffee dates back to 800 AD. Soon Arabians were roasting coffee beans. Muslims were drinking coffee to stay awake by1000 AD. A business from Venice introduced coffee to Europe in 1615. By 1696, the Dutch started growing the coffee bush in Java. By 1723 drink in the world coffee plants were introduced to the Americans. Today, coffee is the most popular drink in the world.

Caffeine is the major chemical in coffee. It blocks(阻止 ) adenosine（腺苷酸）, a chemical that makes you sleepy. People can get a pick-me-up or stimulation(刺激) from the drink. The stimulation does not last long. Caffeine poisoning（中毒）can occur（发生） if more than 400 milligrams（毫克）of caffeine is drunk in a short period, which is about four to five cups of coffee. Caffeine will also cause sleep difficulty, so it should not be drunk before bed.

Caffeine has many advantages. Studies have shown that it helps improve some skills in elderly women. Women who drank three cups of coffee daily scored higher on memory tests than women who drank one cup of coffee. According to newser. com, one cup of coffee a day protects the brain.

Picture the scene: You come home after work, feeling too tired to cook- only to find a delicious meal as delicious as those in Michelin. It sounds like impossible. But thanks to a robot developed by British scientists, it will come true.

Scientists have come up with a set of robotic arms. These "robots "can cook meals. They will be sold from as early as 2017 with a price of about £10, 000. A robot includes an oven, a special kitchen knife, a dishwasher and sink(洗涤槽). Scientists at Moley Robotics spent almost 18 years developing the hands, which are made up of 24 motors 26 micro-controllers and 129 sensors.

According to its creators, the arms can cook almost anything you would like to eat. But the hands move a little slowly, but they imitate human movements closely enough. Even if there are a few splatters(飞溅物), it doesn't matter-its dishwasher can make everything nice and clean.

Users will be able to "order " dinner on their way home, or breakfast when they wake up, using an App on their smart phones, picking recipes depending on the materials they have in it.

Mr. Oleynik, who is one of the project developers, said, "All the things which are possible with the hand are possible here."

Graduation is a time to celebrate. The girl in the photo was also excited during her graduation ceremony. When it was time for her to receive her diploma(毕业证书),Aubrey, who was standing with the other students, danced her way with a sweet smile.

Dressed in a purple cap and a new gown(长袍), she surprised everyone with her dance moves. Her uncle shared the 26-second video online along with the words:

Aubrey Toby is five years old and she comes from America, Many people couldn't understand why she had so much courage to show herself in front of the crowd. But for Charlyne Thomas, Aubrey's teacher, the dance meant much more than just a happy moment.

Although the girl's outgoing nature might be nothing new to those who know Aubrey, her father was surprised by all the attention the video received. He said, "I wasn't prepared for it at all. She did this just because she was tired of waiting in line. I know my child well. She just loves playing like that."

Aubrey felt happy about being popular, but she said she wanted to be a doctor someday rather than a super star.

Earth Day is on April 22nd. It is a day to make people remember to care about the earth.It is

said that every day there are 74 kinds of plants and animals which 1because of human activities. Plastic and other litter kill millions of sea animals every year. However, this is only a small part. The earth is2some serious environmental problems.

Global warming(全球变暖) is a hot topic. Greenhouse gases make the earth3.This has not only changed the climate but also made the sea level rise. If things get worse, many places may4underwater.

Water Pollution is another topic that needs our special care. Only 3 percent of water on the earth is fresh enough to drink, and the other 97 percent is salty. But people5rivers or the sea, meaning there' s even less clean water.

In the new sci-fi film, The Wandering Earth《流浪地球》, humans save the Earth 1leaving it. In many-even most-space-themed films, whenever Earth faces a disaster (灾难), the solution is always running away from the planet in spaceships.

But the latest Chinese sci-fi movie, The Wandering Earth, offers a different and more ambitious(雄心勃勃的) idea. In the film, based on a short story by Chinese sci-fi writer Liu Cixin, Earth is in danger of being destroyed by the dying sun. In reply, humans around the world work2 to build a huge engine system that will push Earth away from the dying sun. 3 giving up Earth-again-this time we're taking it with us.

This "ambition（雄心）" didn't come from nowhere. For thousands of years, "homeland" has had a soft point in 4 of Chinese people. One old idiom is "luoyeguigen", which means returning to one's homeland at the old age, like 5leaves return to the roots（根） of their trees. Or there is an ancient poem, "The season called the White Dew begins tonight: Nowhere as in our native place is the moon so bright" These6 show the tight link(联系） that Chinese people have had with their homeland.

This special cultural background is probably the key 7 separates（分离，区别） The Wandering Earth from Hollywood-style space films.

"What is Chinese sci-fi?" Guo Fan, the film's director, said in an interview, "A movie that can really 8 our cultural and spiritual view can be called Chinese sci-fi. Or, we're just copying others and telling the same American stories."

And the makers of The Wandering Earth may have chosen the best time to tell its Chinese sci-fi story. The film was released on Feb 5th, the first day of Chinese New Year. It was a time when ma-ny people had just made the 9 journey back to their hometowns.

So to them, there is only one possible way to tell the story. Earth 10  wherever humans go, because it's our home forever.

Have you ever read the book A Brief History of Time? It (write) by Stephen Hawking in 2013.

Stephen Hawking was born on January 8th, 1942, exactly 300 years after the death of Galileo in Oxford, England. At the age of eleven, Stephen went to Oxford University, his father's old coll-ege. After three years, he won a first class honour degree in (nature) science.

In October 1962, Stephen arrived at the University of Cambridge to do research. He (real) enjoyed his time there. Unluckily, Stephen had a bad (ill) shortly after his 21st birthday in 1963 and was given two years to live. Yet he went on (work) hard to become an excellent scientist. Stephen didn't live by (he), he fell in love with Jane Wilde and they got (marry) in 1965, then they had three (child).

Hawking liked China very much, and he had visited China several times. On November 24th, 2017, Hawking (reply) Wang Junkai on his Weibo. He said he was pleased to answer the excellent question from Mr. Wang Junkai. He once said, "My goal is simple, it is complete understanding of the universe（宇宙）."

Stephen Hawking is regarded one of the most famous scientists since Einstein. Hawking died on March 14th, 2018.

Not long ago, mobile phones were used mainly by business people and government officers in society. In the US. mobile phone users were about 340,000 in 1985. Now there are 205 million mobile phone users in the Us. The mobile phone explosion (激增) has led to a great many waste phones.

When people throw their mobile phones away, they usually end up in the open air. Mobile phones include some materials， like lead(铅) mercury(水银) and cadmium(镉) They can go into public drinking water and food and put people's health at risk. About 75 percent of mobile phone users don't throw their phones away. Instead, they prefer to keep the waste ones sitting around the house as they are not worth very much. People are also afraid that others may know their information if they sell their waste phones. Less than 20 percent of them are recycled each year.

Mobile phones have valuable materials inside. The most valuable material is gold, which is used in the phone circuit boards(电路板 ) . Recycling can keep natural resources like gold and reduce greenhouse gas emissions (排放物 ). If all of the waste phones in the US are recycled,it will save enough energy to offer over 194. 000 U.S. families electricity for one year.

One method of recycling mobile phones is to take the working parts of broken phones, then combine (结合) them with the working parts of other used mobile phones to make one ready-to-use mobile phone. Another method of mobile phone recycling is to melt(熔化)downand separate （分离）parts of the phone, getting the natural resources, such as gold and platinum (铂). Plastic and glass can also be recycled from used mobile phones.
