A group of boys stood around a tree. "1 tall tree!" they said to each other, "It would be exciting to climb to the top !"
The group of boys then decided to play a game to see who could climb to the top of the tree first. 2 mothers were sitting not far away, looking at their children as they played.
One of the climbers was 3 8-year-old boy named David. He was 4 child in the group. Nobody thought he would win.
Then the game started. All of the boys tried their best 5 as high as they could. Though the other boys climbed faster than David 6 the beginning, he got to the top of the tree fastest in the end.
His mother was proud. She asked him, "David, 7 did you reach the top of the tree so quickly?" "It was easy," David said, "The other 8 kept looking down as they climbed. When they realized how high they were, they were afraid of falling down. I, however, looked only up. When I saw how close I was, I kept going higher and higher until I9 the top."
It is 10 in life that if we just keep going forward without looking back, we are more likely to reach our goals.
Many people are always feeling worried because they think they are inferior（比不上……的）to others. Some students always feel unconfident because no matter how hard they study, they can't get good grades. They 1 get praise from their teachers or parents. Some grown-ups are facing a similar situation that their boss is seldom 2 with them—no matter how hard they try to finish their tasks.
But weaknesses are just a small 3 of your life. Why not spend some time on the other parts? I am not among the 4 students in my school. I can't always quickly 5 what my teachers are saying. I don't do well in some subjects as well, 6 I never feel unconfident of myself just because of those weaknesses. I always appreciate（欣赏）myself because I know that there is something in me that makes me special. I have some 7 that many people don't have. It's easy for me to make friends with others. I also have many good habits and great dreams. Take a break from your 8 or working life, and spend a few minutes thinking about the time when you have 9 better than others. You will realize how special you are!
As an old saying goes, "The cream always rises to the top." Some people don't 10 their advantages early in their lives. For some, their advantages aren't accepted by others. However, there is no doubt that each of us has some kinds of advantage. Each of us is special.

A research team from China's Northwest University is developing facial recognition (面部识别) technology to identify (识别) thousands of Sichuan golden monkeys that live in Qinling Mountains in Shanxi Province.
Similar to human facial recognition, the technology that is used to identify monkeys uses their facial features to create a database (数据库) that includes every monkey.
"When the system is fully developed, we can connect it with cameras set up in the mountains. The system will automatically (自动地) recognize the monkeys, name them and analyze (分析) their behaviour," said Zhang He, a member of the research team.
"For each monkey, we have 700 to 800 image samples, and the rate of successful recognition is 94 percent," Zhang added.
Compared with facial recognition technology for humans, facial recognition technology for monkeys is more complicated because monkeys have hairier faces. The color of their hair causes them to get mixed up in their environment. These make it harder for computers to do the job.
"The wild environment is complicated, and golden monkeys do not cooperate with the process in the same way humans do. It is difficult to take high-quality pictures and videos of them, which are needed to improve the system," said Li Baoguo, leader of the research team.
Currently, there are about 4,000 golden monkeys living in Qinling Mountains. They are typical animals that live in the forest at an altitude of 1,500 meters to 3,300 meters all the year round. The team's goal is to successfully identify every monkey that lives there.

Class One was having a meeting. The students were having a discussion in the classroom. What were they talking about? The topic was the best in our normal life. Tom thought the clock was the most useful it could tell the time exactly. Without the clock, we didn't know to leave for school. Maria showed us a crayon on the desk. could be used to draw beautiful pictures. So it was helpful. Peter computers. He said that the world was connected together by computers. We could get the information far away in a minute. There were also tiny computers the patients' bodies. These computers were used for treating illnesses. Lily certain that the robots were important. The robots which worked in the factories helped people perform different . It's no doubt that all of the above changed our habits. They make us work and live more . Perhaps in the future we can invent something for ourselves. I'm sure we have the to be a real inventor.

"Limited Screen Time" is a simple way to help set and control limits to your children's time with an iPhone and iPad. How Does It Work? Step One, use your finger across the clock to set the time. Step Two, set the user by typing on the "Users". Step Three, press "Start". Step Four, pass your iPhone or iPad to your child and let them use the phone any way you choose（e. g. apps, movies, music）. What Happens Next? After you set the time, the device（装置）will receive a set of messages warming your children that "Your screen time is up". Your children will be unable to continue using the phone until the passcode（密码）is correctly entered. Graphs（曲线图） From the graphs you can see the weekly length of screen time. |
