Have you heard of Wang Xingxing, the founder (创始人) of Unitree Company The Yang (秧) BOT robots on the Spring Festival Gala were d 1 by his team. How amazing the program is! Here is his speech: Believe.
Many people might think I was a top student, but I wasn’t. Especially in English — I tried my best but failed most of times in high school. My teachers and classmates always said I was “slower” than others and I felt w 2 about it, too.
However, I have my own love. I spent all my spare time on “small” i 3 . I built a wind-powered car out of old cardboard when I was 10. I made a tiny engine and model airplanes from scrap metal (废铁) a 4 the age of 15. When I was 19. I decided to make a robot, but n 5 believed that I could do it. At last I invented a small two-legged robot with just 200 yuan s 6 . From that experience, I learn if you want to achieve anything that seems i 7 you just need to break into thousands of small steps and solve them one by one.
Later, I faced m 8 challenges. When I started my robot company in my twenties, many people didn’t believe me. But I believe myself. In this fast-paced (快节奏) world, I would like to take it slow, avoiding taking shortcuts (捷径). I believe that if we keep d 9 difficult but right things, we will succeed in the future.
The robots our company invented have become the most popular in the world so far. We are lucky b 10 technology is growing faster than ever. I believe we can create smarter AI, better robots, cooler games and more amazing movies than before.
Finally, let’s remember the words from the movie Nezha. “Do you still want to change the world I want to try! Let’s try together!”

China has many special forms of t 11 art. They are usually used to represent things that are important in life s 12 as love, beauty and family.
It was said that sky lanterns were first used b 13 Zhuge Liang. He sent them out to ask for help when in t 14 . They are made of bamboo and covered with p 15 . Sky lanterns are used at festivals and other celebrations today. They are seen as bright symbols of happiness and good wishes.
Chinese paper-cutting has been around for more than 1,500 years. It may sound very easy but is difficult to practise. The paper, usually red, is folded (折叠) before it is cut with s 16 The most common pictures are flowers, animals and things about Chinese history. D 17 the Spring Festival, they are put up on windows, doors and walls as symbols of wishes for good l 18 and a happy new year.
Chinese clay (泥塑) art is famous because the clay pieces are so small b 19 they look very real. The pieces are carefully shaped by hand from a very special kind of clay and then allowed to air-dry. After drying, they are fired: at a very high heat. Then they are painted after polishing. Finally, materials such as wood or paper are added as decorations. It t 20 several weeks to complete everything. These small pieces of clay art show the love that all Chinese people have for life and beauty.

At breakfast, Sarah saw that her mother was wearing overalls (工装服). That meant that she was planning to work in the garden.
“What are you planting today ” asked Sarah.
“Today I will plant carrots,” a 21 Sarah’s mother. “Would you like to help ”
Sarah was happy. She wanted to learn more about h 22 her mother made vegetables grow.
In the garden, Sarah’s mother used a stick to make a line in the soil. “This is c 23 a furrow (沟),”she said. “It’s used to hold the seeds (种子).”
Sarah used the stick to draw a line n 24 her mother’s furrow. She watched her mother open a packet of carrot seeds.
“Now I will plant the seeds in a long row in the furrow,” Sarah’s mother said. She placed the tiny seeds in a neat line c 25 .
“Can I help ” asked Sarah.
“Carrot seeds are very small,” said Sarah’s mother. “Be careful!”
She opened a packet of carrot seeds and h 26 it to Sarah. Sarah picked up a carrot seed and dropped her seed in the furrow. Her furrow seemed very long because the seeds were so small.
Sarah’s mother began to hum. Sarah liked the song. She joined in, and the m 27 made planting seeds more pleasant.
When the seeds were gone, Sarah watched her mother gently smooth the soil over the furrow to cover the seeds. Sarah did the same to her seeds and patted the soil in p 28 .
“Now it’s time to water the seeds so they can spout (发芽),”said Sarah’s mother. She used: watering can to soak (浸湿) the ground.
“The water lets the seeds know it’s time to g 29 ,” Sarah’s mother said.
“When will they be ready to eat ” asked Sarah.
“In a 30 a month,” said Sarah’s mother.
Sarah was very happy about her seeds. “I can’t wait to eat our vegetables!”

When is enough enough
There has to be more to life than this. W 31 the holiday season upon us, now is a good time to take a breather and consider a digital detox (数字排毒). That doesn’t mean giving up the Internet. No one would c 32 us to act right now. Think of it as going on a diet and replacing bad habits with much h 33 ones to give our tired eyes some much needed downtime from technology.
Too much screen time is h 34 to our health, robbing us of sleep and more productive tasks. But n 35 all screen time is bad, after all, many students are attending school with apps. So Step One is to assess (评估) w 36 parts of screen time are unnecessary. That could be playing computer games or scrolling through Twitter and Facebook. Step Two is to c 37 a realistic plan to reduce the time spent on the bad stuff.
You could set modest goals, such as l 38 the time to 20 minutes a day on weekends. If that feels achievable, make it a daily goal. Repetition (重复) will help you f 39 new habits. Most importantly, don’t treat screen time as if it were a piece of candy that you sometimes a 40 yourself to relax, that may do the opposite.
In fact, the digital detox is not only the control of online hours on the digital age but also the clear awareness of ourselves.

Today, let’s learn about the world’s and China’s climates, as well as their current problems.
The climates are different a 41 the world. In general, places near the equator (赤道) are hot all year round, w 42 areas closer to the poles (极地) are much colder. Some areas, like deserts, receive very little rain and have long droughts. In contrast, tropical rainforests e 43 heavy rainfall and high humidity. In recent years, extreme weather events have been more frequent, such as hurricanes and h 44 . Scientists warn that human activities, such as burning fossil fuels, are the main c 45 of these changes. If people don’t stop these harmful activities, they will finally lose their homes.
China is a large country with many different climates. In the north, winters are cold with snow, and summers are warm. Beijing, the c 46 , faces freezing winter every year. The south, including Guangzhou, has mild winters and hot, r 47 summers. In eastern China, monsoons (季风) bring heavy rains, which is i 48 for farming. Western China, like Xizang, is colder because it is high up. Like the rest of the world, China has faced climate challenges nowadays, such as more unusual weather and rainfall. The government is working to reduce pollution and use more clean energy to help s 49 down climate change. By t 50 action, China hopes to protect its environment for future generations.

Bike theft is big business. Close to 2 million bikes are stolen each year in North America, costing cyclists (骑自行车的人) nearly $1 b 51 , compared with $ 500 million 10 years ago.
“It’s been crazy in r 52 years,” says Bryan Hance, who helps run Bike Index, where cyclists can register (注册) their bikes for f 53 and report them stolen online. More than 16,000 stolen bikes were reported last year, versus (对比) 11,000 in 2019. Hance says bike thefts aren’t high priority (当务之急) for police, creating room for v 54 who find stolen bikes and return them to the owners.
Police say they take bike thefts seriously. Unfortunately, both in big cities and small towns a 55 the country the police don’t have enough manpower.
Hance is an active cyclist who works in cyber-security (网络安全) in Portland, Oregon. He says he got into this volunteer work because far too many bikes went m 56 —and because he realizes it’s fun.
“When the bikes are stolen, the owners’ lack (缺少) of transportation l 57 to losing jobs. Helping them get their bikes back really gives me a lot of d 58 . I enjoy helping them almost as m 59 as punishing thieves.”
One morning, Hance was on the phone giving a 60 on how to go about meeting a seller and possible thief to get his bike back. “Meet at a bank and let security guards know what’s about to go down—just to be safe.”

YouTube phenomenon IShowSpeed’s recent tour of China has unexpectedly become a masterclass in cultural diplomacy. The 19-year-old streamer, with his 37 million f 61 , has become an accidental ambassador for Chinese soft power through his exploration of Beijing and Shanghai.
Speed’s livestreams from China have captured global attention, as he bounced between landmarks like the Great Wall and engaged with locals. His c 62 has created a rare crossover moment between Western and Chinese social media ecosystems.
State media like Global Times have highlighted how his streams represent a n 63 form of cultural exchange. His viral moments—like performing backflips (后空翻) at the Great Wall or challenging locals to ping-pong matches—have generated unprecedented (前所未有的) interest in Chinese culture among young g 64 audiences.
Chinese officials have strategically embraced Speed’s visit. The comment sections of his videos are filled with viewers expressing s 65 at China’s modernity and the warmth of its people—perceptions that differ from typical Western media portrayals.
While skeptics (怀疑论者) might q 66 whether such visits represent authentic cultural exchange or carefully arranged soft power, the impact on viewers remains significant. There’s also open acknowledgement from the likes of Shaun Rein, the founder of Managing Director of the China Market Research Group.
In an era of increasing US-China tension, IShowSpeed’s China adventures demonstrate how individual content creators can b 67 cultural divides in ways traditional diplomacy often fails to achieve.

Can you imagine taking a flying taxi to the airport Can you imagine jumping over crowded s 68 at rush hour to get where you want to go far faster than you could in a car B 69 it or not, you might be able to do these things in an electric air taxi sooner than you think.
Last June, the FAA (Federal Aviation Administration)—the government group in charge of America's skies—agreed to a 70 a company called Joby Aviation to start testing their new air taxi.
Since 2017, Joby has been making and testing flying taxis. But this is the f 71 time they are testing a taxi that has been built in a factory. Before that, all their taxis were made by h 72 .
By 2025, Joby hopes to start carrying passengers for money. Joby also expects their air taxis to provide a ride—sharing s 73 in the air. Just like you might use an app to order a car to pick you up, you could use an app to order an air taxi.
Some people have worries about them, a 74 the idea of flying taxis is exciting. The taxis may be quieter than helicopters (直升机), but they’ll s 75 add noise and traffic to our skies. Some people worry that only rich people will be able to a 76 to use them.
H 77 , it seems likely that air taxis will be part of the future of travel. The FAA says, “We could see air taxis in the skies by 2024 or 2025.”

When you want to buy something, which would you like to buy, new or second-hand
More and more people like to buy second-hand items. People can s 78 money because second-hand items are much cheaper than new ones. Buying second-hand items can also protect the e 79 . It’s reported that in 2022 the quality of all man-made materials became greater than that of every living thing on Earth. So it is better to reuse old things i 80 of making new things.
“I love buying books on an online second-hand bookstore. It’s good for students l 81 me”, said Zhao Kaiqi, a 22-year-old college student from Harbin, Heilongjiang. “It also b 82 me interesting experiences that I don’t have when I buy new books. One time, I found a note in a second-hand book. Its previous (之前的) owner left the n 83 and hoped that I would enjoy reading the book. It was heartwarming to read.”
People can even find some items that are not made any more. For e 84 , some people like to buy vintage (复古) items. These items often go back 30 years or even more. But if they’re in good c 85 , people can still use them.
“I am a big fan of vintage items,” said Vivien, a 25-year-old freelance writer from London, UK. “Vintage items carry stories from the p 86 . Once I bought a bracelet (手镯) with the words ‘Rose’ and ‘Love, Jason’ on it. It made me wonder about the story behind the bracelet. I think l 87 for vintage items is a once-in-a-lifetime experience. It doesn’t matter how rich you are, but whether you can find an item that fits you.”

Recently, the world has been very excited about a new AI model called DeepSeek-R1. The company behind it, also called DeepSeek, is a business in Hangzhou, Zhejiang.
The new AI first a 88 on Jan 20. In just one week, it beat OpenAI’s ChatGPT and became number one free application (应用) in the App Store. What is so s 89 about it
According to DeepSeek, the new AI model is a 90 good at difficult activities like math as other big-time models. But it needs m 91 less computing power (算力) to do that. It is also the cheapest of its kind and took only about 5.57 million US d 92 (40.58 million yuan) to make. That is way less than the hundreds of millions or even billions that US businesses have to s 93 making similar AI models, said Marc Andreessen, a technology expert (专家) in the US.
The achievement was largely because of an idea the scientists had while they trained it. Instead of using the t 94 ways, DeepSeek mainly uses Reinforcement Learning (RL, 强化学习). It h 95 AI learn by working out the right way to do things on its own to get points. This makes R1 better at reasoning and s 96 hard problems.
What’s more, DeepSeek-R1 is open-source (开源的). Everyone is free to get a copy of its code (代码). They can also change the code to m 97 their own needs. Being open-source is very important for sharing knowledge and making technology better for everyone, said Liang Wenfeng, who set up DeepSeek.
