After Twenty Years

　　"It's all right, officer," he spoke up quickly, "Just waiting for a friend."

　　"Twenty years ago tonight, I had dinner here with my best friend, Jimmy. Then I left for the West for a new (2)      to make money. We agreed that we would meet here again after twenty years."

3．　　Many teenagers like listening to music in their spare time. Can you imagine that a 15-year-old girl has attracted nearly 1. 7 million music followers on China's leading video-sharing platform Bilibili and made national headlines?
　　Zhang Yuxuan, who is better known as Vicky Xuanxuan on social media, can turn many things into melody in her music world — a box of candies, water, pens and glass bottles. She records the sounds around her and mixes them into songs.
　　Yuxuan's most popular clip — the release of her English song She — has been viewed more than 14 million times and received over 1 million thumbs-up emoji on Bilibili.
　　"In the clip. I tried to let viewers know how the song was created," says Yuxuan, who lives in Shenzhen, South China's Guangdong province.
　　The six﹣minute video tells how a melody coming to the schoolgirl's mind is developed into a beautiful song in half an hour. She records playing the guitar on Apple's music-making app Garage Band, and then mixes vocals and backing tracks.
　　Talking about her inspiration for She,Yuxuan says, "I really appreciate the heroine's confidence and independence in a very famous movie. Women like that are so attractive."
　　The song has amazed people. A Bilibili user says it is a song that you cannot stop playing time and time again. The video has forced many to reflet on their own productivity, as another user posts:
　　"A student in junior middle school can create a song in half an hour, but I, a college student, can only finish my meal in half an hour." On Yuxuan's web page, she has over 120, 000 subscribers. A subscriber named Carolyn Davidson comments: "I'm 71 years old and it definitely healed my heart."
　　Just like Zhang Yuxuan, we all have dreams. Let's hold on to them and try our best to achieve them.

4．　　A mindset is the way of thinking. Your mindset can affect almost every part of your daily life. Dr. Carol Dweck, a scientist who studies how the mind works, has discovered that people with a fixed (固定的) mindset deal with problems in a different way from those with a growth mindset.
　　Imagine that two students, Anna and Amy, are taking a really hard math test in September. Anna has a fixed mindset, which means she believes that a person's intelligence is fixed. You're either smart or stupid. and if you're smart, everything is easy for you. Amy has a growth mindset, which means she believes that your intelligence can grow. Not everyone can become a genius, but they can improve the skills they have and develop new ones.
　　So which is right?It's Amy. Believe it or not, research shows that you really can get smarter by working hard, practicing, and challenging yourself.
　　As you know, your brain is made un of billions of neurons (神经元). They are all connected and send messages to each other. Scientists have found that when we learn, neurons make new connections and old connections grow stronger. But if connections aren't used, they will break down. So, learning is like exercise for your brain. The more you work it out, the stronger and smarter your network of neurons will become.
　　According to Dr. Carol Dweck 's studies, people with a fixed mindset worry about grades. They 're afraid of looking stupid when they make mistakes. People with a growth mindset care about learning not grades. They learn from their mistakes and try to find different ways of solving problems. They ask for help when necessary. In only two years, babies learn to walk, talk and feed themselves. They never worry about looking stupid when learning. If they make mistakes, they just try again.
　　Dweck's team also discovered that, with some work, kids can choose to have a growth mindset. They can do better in school. The trick is to notice what mindset you have. If you ever think yourself stupid, it's not true. You just have not learned how to do something yet.

　　Congratulations to the China National Space Administration on the launch of three 'taikonauts' on their Shenzhou 12 mission to the Tianhe (Heavenly Harmony) space station.
　　On June 17^th, 2021, in their Tweets to congratulate China on the launch of three "taikonauts" on their Shenzhou Ⅶ mission to outer space, both the European Space Agency and Roscosmos used the word"taikonauts".
　　With the Greek word "naut", which means sailor, and "taiko", which comes from taikong, the Chinese word for space, the word "taikonaut" is specifically used for Chinese astronauts.
　　Yet "taikonaut" is more than just a word. Its history shows that of China's space journey. Started in 1992, the manned spacecraft engineering (载人航天工程) of China was far behind the USA and Russia in the beginning 6 years later, the word "taikonaut" was created by Chiew Lee Yih, a Chinese Malaysian. who used it first in newsgroups. However, back then few people picked up on it, as China was still rather weak at that time.
　　It was not until 2003, when China sent Yang Liwei, the first taikonaut into space taking the Shenzhou V. that the word became widely known. In his speech at Peking University on Friday, Yang told stories ahout that and shared how much is required of the taikonauts to prepare them for their missions.
　　Since 1998, China has 34 trained taikonauts, each of whom has passed tests that are usually unimaginably difficult. According to reports. , they are all chosen from top polots, engineers and scientists, and must pass a lot of test before becoming a real taikonaut.
　　Behind these taikonauts are hundreds of thousands of other workers that do their jobs to get the taikonauts into space and make certain of their safe return. It is the great efforts of everyone in this project that has made "taikonaut" from just a word on the paper into the reality, and all of them should share the honor of the taikonauts' tasks. The meanings of the word will he further developed and we hope more taikonauts will appear.
