4．　　Have you ever seen a solar panel (太阳能电池板) in your neighborhood?Solar panels take energy from the sun and turn it into electricity. Over the past ten years, the price of solar panels has gone down greatly. In many parts of the world, solar energy is now the cheapest form of electricity. More and more people have started using solar energy to power their homes.
　　However, solar panels also have their problems. They stop working at night and on rainy days. Is it possible to make them produce electricity all of the time?
　　Scientists at Suzhou University, China, have invented a new solar panel now. It can produce electricity not only from solar energy but also from falling rain. When a raindrop falls on the solar panel and then rolls(滚动)down, it creates friction (摩擦力) on the surface of the panel, which can then be turned into electricity.
　　Sun Baoquan is one of the inventors. "Our new invention can produce electricity in any weather during the day," he says. "It can even provide electricity at night if there is rain. "
　　The solar panel, however, does not make much electricity from falling rain. So Sun Baoquan is still working hard to improve it. The scientist also wants to make more flexible solar panels, which are as comfortable as clothing. They will be much lighter and provide more electricity.
　　The field of solar energy is developing fast. Scientists around the world have been improving solar panels. Some have been working on ways to join solar panels and wind power together. Some have been trying to use sunlight to produce liquid and gas fuels (液体和气体燃料).

7．　　In July 2021, China introduced the "double reduction (双减)" policy. It hopes to reduce schoolwork and after school classes for primary and junior high school students. According to the policy, children below the third grade will not have homework anymore. It should take no more than 90 minutes for junior high school students to finish their homework.
　　 "Our homework is clearly less than before," said 13-year-old girl Shen Yuzhe from Beijing. "We are not encouraged to buy workbooks anymore. The exercises are mainly from the textbook now."
　　According to Shen, students have enough time to learn new knowledge now. "We can learn from real life because our teachers are giving us more chances to do experiments," said Shen.
　　For 13-year-old boy Zhang Hangming from Tianjin, the best thing about "double reduction" is the increased time in after-school activities. We can now spend more time taking part in clubs and activities. I have joined a group called leadership development where I can learn all kinds of skills," said Zhang.
　　Both Shen and Zhang find there are fewer exams now. But they think it's not completely a good thing. "Exams push me to study harder. Each exam shows my progress as well as my weak points. Zhang said. "Some students now spend more time having fun when their homework is finished early. But if you use all the free time to relax, you might fall behind other students, Shen said.
