In my second year of high school, the class was scheduled to run the mile.

Suddenly my coach ran up to me and picked me up, yelling, "You did it.Mark! You finished, son.You finished" He looked at me straight in the eyes, waving a piece of paper in his hand.It was my goal (目标 ) for the day which I had forgotten.I had given it to him before class. He read it aloud to everyone.It simply said, "I, Mark Brown, will finish the mile run tomorrow, come what may." My heart lifted.My tears went away, and I had a smile on my face as if I had eaten a banana.My classmates clapped.It was then I realized winning isn't always finishing first.Sometimes winning is just finishing.We can learn from the passage that _ .

CHANGSHA﹣Eight pandas moved to their new home in the ancient town of Fenghuang in Central China's Hunan Province on Friday.

Before the transportation, the eight pandas were placed under observation in the giant panda protection center, and they are now in good health.
Teng Qiong, director of Fenghuang County Forestry Bureau, said that the pandas were transported in refrigerator trucks for their safety and comfort. Several trucks were rented(租用),with four trucks carrying two giant pandas each, while one truck carried enough bamboo and bamboo shoots for five days, and another empty truck was kept on standby.
"During the transportation, we rested at the high﹣speed service areas for 30 minutes every three hours. The keepers provided food and water for the pandas and carefully observed their health condition,"Teng said.
Construction of the panda theme park in Fenghuang started at the end of 2018. It includes a panda house, a panda hospital, a feed processing room, a tourist service center, a science museum and other supporting projects. There will be 16 professional keepers to take care of the pandas in the park.

Air pollution is a big problem for cities in most countries. Many people are dying from it. But how can we tell the air quality is good or bad?
On a tree next to a river in Amsterdam, a tiny birdhouse glows (发光) bright green when the air is clean. If you're standing nearby, the birdhouse will also give you a free Wi﹣Fi connection﹣but only if pollution level is low enough. The designer is Joris Lam. His birdhouse tells you about the air quality.
Joris' birdhouse is called TreeWifi. It can be put on a tree around your house to test the air quality. People can see a screen with information about the local air quality and how to improve it. TreeWifi is a simple way for people to know about the air pollution around them. If the birdhouse does not glow, people should care more about the environment. It reminds them to change their lifestyles. For example, to protect the air, they can ride bikes or just walk instead of driving cars.
"Imagine if trees gave free Wi﹣Fi, people would plant more trees like crazy. It's a pity that they only give us the oxygen(氧气) we breathe," Joris said.
The birdhouse doesn't work as a home for birds now. Joris and his team are trying to make some changes to it. In the future, they hope birds will live in the birdhouse and the heat of its green light will be used to keep birds warm in winter.
