Astronauts on board the Shenzhou-10 spacecraft have taught a lesson from space to schoolchildren through a live video. The astronauts made some experiments in the lab Tiangong-1. They showed a lot of physical(物理的) phenomenon（现象） in a zero-gravity（失重的） environment.
Greetings from space have opened a new history in China.
Wang Yaping, Shenzhou-10 Astronaut, said, "Hello, everyone. I am Wang Yaping. I will host the lecture today.” It is the country’s very first space lecture. And all eyes were on the female space teacher Wang Yaping and her two other partners.
The first part of the class was all about weight. This floating（漂浮的） pose looked like a pose from a Chinese Kongfu movie. Audiences were amazed by it.
Wang Yaping later did some other experiments to show what happens in zero gravity. She also did an experiment of what water is like on space.
In Beijing, about 330 students attended the class and ask questions of the astronauts from video calls.
Song Xinke said, "It’s very interesting. The experiment that impressed me a lot is the water balloon. The phenomenon is very beautiful. We have not learned enough knowledge to understand it. So I want to learn more after the class."
Liu Yuezhang said, "I feel very excited about this class. I have lots of questions and the astronauts are answering our questions. They teach us a lot of knowledge."
China’s very first lesson from space was a new chapter（篇章） in history. The experiment is sure to be a great encouragement for the young to explore the unknown. And get a greater understanding of the universe.

Sitting on a chair all day in school can make anyone want to move around. So, more and more teachers are letting students have a ball. By sitting on exercise balls instead of chairs , teachers find students’ posture and attention improve.
Dottie Pownall, a fifth-grade teacher in West Virginia, USA, has been using balls as chairs since December 2008. “The students love them”, she says. Pownall took a survey of her students. She found that 80% of the students thought sitting on the balls helped them pay more attention to what they were learning.
The teacher, Pisa Witt, felt so strongly about the use of balls as chairs, she started Witt Fitt. This company encourages the use of the balls. And the company educates not only teachers but also students on how to use them. “Our products are used in 24 states, three provinces in Canada, Puerto Rico and Japan,” says Witt, “ Research shows that sitting on the balls makes them sit up straighter. You can slouch(低头垂肩地坐)on a ball,” says Witt, “but it feels bad.” Because the students are moving, their blood increases. That carries more oxygen to the brain , so the kids have more energy and can pay attention longer.
“Besides, they’re fun.” says Pownall.What will happen if a student sits on a chair all day in school? The student will_________.

Cosplay is great!
Cosplay is short for “costume play”, which means play-acting in costumes. People who take part in cosplay are called cosplayers. They usually create or make costumes of their favorite animation characters by themselves or get a tailor to make them. Sometimes they even prepare small things, like knives and earrings, which the characters wear or use in the animation.
Cosplayers are creative and proud of their work. They spend a lot of money and energy on it. They not only dress up as their favorite characters in the animation, but also act like the characters.
New trend (趋势) is on!
While Chinese fans are busy cosplaying characters in Japanese animations or movies, Japan, as a big country of cosplay, now has a trend to cosplay non-Japanese movie characters. Japanese cosplayers like the characters in Star Wars and Lord of the Rings very much. But the most popular ones are from the Harry Potter films. They have a very large number of fans in Japan. The character who is liked the best by Japanese cosplayers in Harry Potter films is Draco Malfoy, though he is Harry’s rival(对手) and always tries to get Harry and his friends into trouble.
