I used to being very scared of people who were different from those I grow up around. Last year, my parents took me to France, when I was surrounded by foreigner. I was very nervous at first. But as I observed them, I found that as if I could not understand their languages, they seemed to be said and doing the same kinds of things we say and do in my country. I even talked to few Europeans, who were very friend. Although people are not exactly the same, we are still basically the same, so it is no need to be afraid of someone just because of they come from a different culture.

Inside a library in a seaside town is a room changed into a cafe.

This community open space _______ to solve the central problems that commonly lead to homelessness: _______ and a lack of purpose.
It’s the _______ of Maff Potts. While working with charities for the homeless, he felt _______ because they weren’t reducing homelessness. All the shelters only helped people once they’d already lost everything, _______ trying to solve the problems that led to their homelessness in the first place. A main _______, he discovered, is that many people who ended up at the shelters were alone.

Potts understands how altruism (利他主义) can help. Over the years during his work on homelessness, when he met people in their __________ moments, Potts began asking them to do him a favour.

For thousands of years, salting was a common way to preserve food. Corned beef (咸牛肉）, bacon, green beans, and hundreds of other foods were preserved with salt.1. Then, in the 1800s, a Frenchman named Louis Pasteur discovered the secret: bacteria.
What does salt have to do with bacteria? Two things: First, bacteria need moisture (水分）to grow and multiply. Salt pulls moisture out of food, so the bacteria die. 2. If you cover food with salt or very salty liquid, bacteria outside the food die before they get in, and bacteria already in the food are poisoned by the salt that goes inside.
3. For meat or fish,you pour on a layer of salt, then rub it in well, leaving a salt crust (盾）all over the outside. Hams are often made this way. Another way is to put food into very salty water, called brine (卤水）.4. The salt will draw the moisture out of the food, creating a kind of brine that the food sits in.
Today, in most parts of the world, salting, is no longer necessary. 5. But even though we no longer rely on salt to keep our food fresh, we haven’t lost our taste for salt. We don’t want to give up our bacon, corned beef or salted beans.
A.So how do you preserve food with salt?
B.Next, it can make food too salty to eat.
C.Second, salt is poisonous to many bacteria.
D.But for a long time, no one knew why salt worked.
E.You can alternate layers of food and salt in a big jar.
F.People buy food in cans, keep it in the refrigerator, or freeze it.
G.They use salt to preserve meat, fish, vegetables, and even fruit.
Imagine you are floating in space on a huge NASA spacecraft. A satellite is on a collision course with your spaceship. You have just been told by your commanders on Earth to evacuate. You and your teammates have to make rapid decisions for your escape and survival.
Engaging children in a NASA mission (任务) is a lesson that 23 pre-service teachers (职前教师)were taught to carry out at a recent Pre-Service Teacher Institute (PSTI) summer workshop (讲习班)at NASA’s Ames Research Center.
At this two-week workshop, these college students were given hands-on activities designed to increase their skills in teaching STEM (science, technology, engineering and math) . They were shown how to include NASA missions and research into their lesson plans. They met with NASA engineers and were given tours of NASA facilities (设施)by the latter to help them develop and teach a problem-based lesson to children.
“NASA is pleased to support college students who want to teach STEM to young children,” said Lewis Braxton, director of the research center. “It was exciting to see PSII students fully engaged in developing new skills in STEM to meet the challenges of a space-related teaching task,” said Steve Price, the principal investigator of PSTI at California State University, Fresno.
“PSTI has provided me with the necessary tools and techniques to fully develop my skills as a teacher. I’ll use what I’ve learned to help my students succeed in their studies,” said Elijah Carnillo, one of the pre-service teachers.

Picture this: You’re playing soccer with friends. As you kick the ball, you realize the bottom of your foot feels cold and wet. You turn your sneaker up to look at the sole (鞋底). A big crack(裂缝) is letting water from the ground in. When you get home, you throw your ruined sneakers away.
Now imagine another ending to the story. You don’t throw the sneakers away. Instead, you push the two sides of the cracked sole together so they’re touching. You leave the sneaker in a warm spot. A few hours later, the crack disappears.
Thanks to Qiming Wang, a professor at the University of Southern California, a self-healing (自我修复的) sneaker sole could soon become reality. Wang and his team have invented 3D printable rubber that could fix itself. When it’s exposed to heat, it causes a chemical reaction that bonds its atoms back together. The material could be used to3D print not only sneaker soles, but also toys, bike tires, even satellites.
To 3D print a self-healing object, the first step is to make a model of it on the computer. The model is “divided” into 100 smaller pictures. This first picture is projected onto a thin laver (层) of the rubber, which starts as a liquid. The rubber takes on the shape of the picture, and the light from the projection turns it from liquid to solid. The next picture is projected on another layer of liquid rubber on top of the first one. The final, complete shape is built up layer by layer like this.
Many footwear companies want to buy this technology. First, though, Wang and his team have to try to make the material in different levels of hardness. Wang thinks it will take two or three years for their material to show up in shoes we buy in stores.
One exciting thing about the special rubber is the amount of waste it can reduce, Plus, it can self-heal “more than 10 times”. When it can’t heal anymore, it can be recycled.
