Germs(细菌) are everywhere. You can’t see them, but they are on your desk, on your computer, and even in the air!
Like people, germs move around the world. They fly with us on planes. When food, clothes, and other things travel around the world, germs travel, too. Some germs are safe, but some are dangerous. Germs cause illnesses like colds and the flu.
Warmer Weather Brings Germs
The world’s weather is changing. Cooler countries are getting warmer, so insects from hot countries can move there. Some of these insects, like mosquitoes(蚊子), carry dangerous germs. These germs cause headaches(头疼), fever, and can even kill people.
Under Your Skin
Your skin protects you from germs. It stops some germs, but not all. They can enter your body when you eat, or when you have a cut. Germs are on your hands, too, they enter(进入) your body when you touch your eyes, nose, or mouse.
Fighting Germs
Your immune system(免疫系统) protects you, too. When germs get inside your body, your immune system finds and kills them. Special cells(细胞) move around your body and fight germs. They help you stay healthy. Other cells make antibodies. Antibodies help your body find and stop germs.

After spelling out rare (罕见的) Chinese characters like “影戤 (ying gai, meaning to make fake goods)” correctly, Chen Keyu, 13, from Jiangsu, became the winner of CCTV’s 2014 Dictation Assembly of Chinese Characters (汉字听写大会) on Oct 3.
How could someone at such a young age memorize (记忆) so many uncommon Chinese characters? Chen surely has his secret ways.
First you have to love reading. Chen has a shelf (书架) filled with books on Chinese culture, science and inspirational (励志的) stories. After entering middle school, he added philosophy (哲学) and history to his book list. Guess what his favorite is recently? It’s Zhuangzi!
Second, you need to have your own way of memorizing. Chen used to be a big dinosaur fan when he was younger. But the boy soon found it was hard to remember the difficult names of dinosaurs. He then thought out a way. He first checked a dictionary to get the correct meaning of the new character. Then he used the character to create an idiom (短语) or sentence to help him memorize. During the dictation competition, Chen created over 200 idioms with uncommon characters to help his teammates memorize them. Although he reads a lot, Chen is not a bookworm (书呆子). In his teachers’ eyes, he is a smart boy, who never did extra work but was always top on grades.
“I think the key is he likes thinking,” said Xu Yiwen, a teacher of Chen.
Chen’s dream is to become a philosopher because he thinks philosophy can explain everything. His ultimate (终极的) task, he said, is to answer the questions like “who am I” and “Why do I live”. What an ambition (雄心)!Who is the winner of CCTV’s 2014 Dictation Assembly of Chinese Characters?

Managing(管理) money is an important skill for adults. But a group of middle school students in the US have had some early lessons.On Sept 23, eighth-graders from Honey Creek Middle School in Michigan, US, had an eye opening experience called Let’s Get Real.

“It is just a necessary lesson on problems that the teens are going to face when they are about 28 years old,” said Peggy Murdoch, one of the organizers. They hoped the students learned about real life budget (预算) decisions and had more respect for their parents. The aim of “Let’s Get Real” is to .
