The Chinese fashion icon, qipao, was born a century ago in Shanghai. However, the dress made its way through history from the hands of old craftsmen and is deep-rooted in Chinese culture.

"Qipao used to be so popular," Leung Long-kong, 89, a well-known qipao craftsman, says, adding that the dress was an everyday outfit among women, from the less well-off to women at the highest levels of society. "Now, nobody is wearing them except on grand and happy occasions. "

To carry on the tradition, fashion designer Mary Yu, 41, who has been attending classes teaching knot button-making techniques, is trying to renew the design of qipao by taking symbols from Chinese history and literature.

"I feel I should look into Chinese culture and learn more about the past. People should have an in-depth understanding of their culture in order to move on, "Yu says. "Fashion design requires a profound knowledge of one's culture before visualizing it. "

"After a period of wearing foreign brands all the time, there will be a day when one looks back to traditional Chinese culture. It is about finding the stuff that exists in your genes and suits you best. "

Yu set up her own qipao brand in 2016. Most of the clothes were made by tailors based in Shenzhen and Hangzhou, for their lower cost and more traditional work.

In the constantly evolving fashion industry, qipao is catching up with the times. Zippers, digital print patterns and new materials such as lace and denim have been introduced to a new generation. More daring ideas like 3D printed qipao have also become a reality. Yu believed that with the help of these new technologies, qipao will find its way back to the daily life of Chinese people in the near future.

While the human world is suffering from the novel coronavirus outbreak, our planet is actually showing certain signs of "recovery" from the damage caused by human activity. According to the BBC, new satellite images released by the European Space Agency showed that levels of air pollutants and greenhouse gases have "fallen sharply" in major cities in Europe and the United States ever since the lockdown started.

This is a great example of how the world can change overnight as soon as people change their behavior— especially after recent discoveries in Antarctica.

An international team of 89 scientists found that the ice in Greenland and Antarctica is melting six times faster in the 2010s than it was in the 1990s. And in February, Argentina's Marambio research station in Antarctica recorded a record high temperature of 20. 75 ℃ on the continent.

So what exactly will happen if the temperature keeps rising and the ice keeps melting? A third study might give you an idea. A team of scientists drilled a hole into the seafloor in west Antarctica and extracted material from underground, in which they found traces of roots, spores and pollen—typical products of a rainforest—that dated back 90 million years ago. In other words, Antarctica was very likely a rainforest back when the dinosaurs walked on Earth.

But given the fact that the South Pole has four months of darkness winter—even millions of years ago— scientists believe that the rainforest could only exist if the greenhouse gas concentrations were extremely high back then to keep the continent warm when there was little or no sunlight. "We didn't know that this Cretaceous（白垩纪的）greenhouse climate was that extreme," Johann Klages ofthe Alfred Wegener Institute in Germany and a co-author of the research told the Guardian. "It shows us what carbon dioxide is able to do."

Ice or no ice, Antarctica will be—and has always been—fine with extreme changes. The human world, however, may not be.

Now, during the coronavirus lockdown, we've seen the changes resulting from less human activity. Hopefully, we'll hold on to those changes—not for Antarctica or the planet, but for ourselves.

Most of us use web browsers (浏览器) out of habit. However, there are a lot of similar apps for us to choose in the appstore. They serve the same purpose: visiting a website. So if the differences are minimal, why bother looking for something else?

As a matter of fact, a new type of internet navigator (导航器) , called a private browser, has emerged over the last three years. What stands out is that they minimize the data gathered about us by blocking the technologies used to track us, when most mainstream browsers, such as Chrome from Google, have been trying to develop a new way to target us with ads.

Private browsers generally rely on something called private mode, which is a browsing session that does not record a history of the websites you have visited. Firefox Focus, DuckDuckGo and Brave are all similar private browsers, but with some important differences.

Firefox Focus, available only for mobile devices like iPhones and Android smartphones, is the basic one. You input a web address and, when done browsing, hit the trash icon to erase the session. Quitting the app automatically purges the history.

The DuckDuckGo browser, also available only for mobile devices, is more like a traditional browser. The company says it is more focused on privacy because its ads do not track people's online behavior. When done browsing, you can hit the flame icon at the bottom to erase the session.

Brave is also more like a traditional web browser. It includes a private mode that must be turned on if you don't want people scrutinizing (仔细检查) your web history. Brave is so aggressive about blocking trackers that in the process, it almost always blocks ads entirely. The other private browsers block ads less frequently.

For most people, not seeing ads is undoubtedly a benefit. Brendan Eich, the chief executive of Brave, said, "If everybody used Brave, it would wipe out the tracking-based ad economy".

Count me in.

Video calls are a common occurrence, but have you imagined being able to touch the person on the other end of the line? Scientists are making this a reality.

Researchers at the University of New South Wales, Australia, have invented a soft skin stretch device (SSD), a haptic (触觉的) device that can recreate the sense of touch. . It is similar to what is felt in the real world, through force, vibration (震动) or motion.

Vibration is the most common haptic technology today and has been built into many electronic devices. . The existing technology also has great difficulty recreating the sense of touch with objects in virtual environments or located remotely, according to Mai Thanh Thai, lead author of the study.

. The research team introduced a novel method to recreate the sense of touch through soft, artificial "muscles". It works like this: Imagine you are at home and you call your friend who is in Australia. You wear a haptic glove with the SSDs and your friend also wears a glove with integrated 3D force sensors. If your friend picks up an object, it will physically press against your friend's fingers. The force signals can be sent to your glove so your device will generate the same 3D forces, making you experience the same sense of touch as your friend.

The haptic devices could allow users to feel objects inside a virtual world or at a distance. This could be especially beneficial during such times like the COVID- 19 pandemic when people rely on video calls to stay connected with loved ones. . Doctors can feel a patient's organ tissues with surgical tools without touching them.

A. The new technology overcomes issues with existing haptic devices

B. Haptic technology mimics the experience of touch by stimulating localized areas of the skin

C. However, haptic feedback with vibration becomes less sensitive when used continuously

D. And their glove with 3D force sensors will measure these interactions

E. Or it could be used in medical practices

F. The haptic glove with the SSDs can receive sensors from your friends

G. When emergency happens, people can even keep contact with friends and family members

My father was a horse trainer. As a kid, I often 1 from ranch (大牧场)  to ranch with him. 2, my school career was constantly 3. One day, when I was a senior, our teacher asked us to write about what we wanted to be when we 4. I did not 5 a minute and wrote a seven-page paper about my dream of 6 a horse ranch, with many details, including a location of buildings and stables (马厩) and even a detailed house plan.

 7, two days later I got my paper back with letter "F" on the front page. After class I came to the teacher and asked, "Why did I 8 an F?" The teacher responded, "This dream is so 9for a boy like you. With no money, no resources and who comes from itinerant (流动的) family. There is no 10 that you will reach your great goal one day." Then the teacher advised me to 11 the paper with a more realistic attitude.

I went home and asked my father how I should 12. My father answered, "This 13 is very important for you. So, you have to make up your own mind on this. "

At last, I brought the 14 paper to my teacher. No changes were  15. I said, "You can keep the F and I will keep my dream. "

Now16a 4,000-square-foot house in the middle of a 200-acre horse ranch, I still have that school paper, which now is 17 over the fireplace.

Remember, you have to18your heart, never give up, 19 with determination and persistence, and never let anyone 20your dreams away.

With the technology of 3D printing, nothing seems to be "unprintable". The US military is actually printing reusable plastic N95 face masks (ease) the country's medical supply shortage caused by the current COVID- 19 pandemic, according to the New York Post. And recently, China (take) its first 3D printer into space.

Onboard China's Long March 5B carrier rocket, which (launch) from the Wenchang Space Launch Center in Hainan province on May 5, there is a 3D printer, developed and built by the China Academy of Space Technology. It has now (successful) printed two objects-a honeycomb-shaped (蜂窝状 的) structure as well as an emblem (徽章) of the China Aerospace Science and Technology Corp (CASC). The printer (use) carbon fiber-reinforced (纤维增强的) composites. They are the best material

spacecraft structures due to its lightweight and high-strength features as well as its strong resistance to high and low(temperature).

The printer also broke new ground by (complete) all tasks autonomously. Previously, human intervention was needed in 3D printing experiments in microgravity-an environment requires higher precision control. But China's new printer did everything by , without the involvement of people. It provides an important technical reference for the follow-up space 3D printing tasks.

Late in the evening I was walking in the park. Suddenly I heard screams coming from behind the bushes. I stopped listening and understood that a girl attacked. I heard sounds of fighting. For several moments I was hesitating that I should get involved, but I was frightened and worried about my own safe.

Then I realized that the girl's voice became more weaker, so I knew I had to act quickly. The next moment, I ran behind the bushes and pulled the attacker off the girl. We fell to the ground and fought with each other for several minute. Then the attacker jumped up and ran away.

Breathing hardly, I slowly came up to the girl. It was dark, but I could not see her face clearly. I felt that she was very frightened. I told her she is safe now. After a few seconds I heard her words with the great surprise in her voice. And then I realized that the girl was my youngest daughter.
