Making a Scarecrow

   How would you like your very own scarecrow (稻草人)? You can make one out of some old boards. You can use it to scare away birds in your garden. You can also put a scarecrow near your front door to give visitors a big surprise!

     Here are what you will need:

  a grown-up helper

  seven boards (each 10 cm wide): one 160 cm long;

  three 50 cm long; one 30 cm long; two 60 cm long

  a hammer and nails; safety pins; a pen

  a shirt with long sleeves

  a long skirt

  gloves and boots

  a hat and a pillow

Step1: Lay the boards on the ground. Make the shape according

     to the picture. You will have two arm pieces left over.

     You will add them later.

Step 2: Ask a grown-up to nail the pieces together.

Step 3: Put the shirt on. Ask a grown-up to nail one arm

     piece to the shoulder. Let the sleeve fall down so that it

     covers the board. Pin the glove to the sleeve. Do the

     same with the other arm.

Step 4: Put on the skirt.

Step 5: Stick the pillow on top as the head. Draw eyes, a nose and a mouth on it.

In 1988,Wang Chengbang retired(退休)from the army.Instead of enjoying a relaxing life,he volunteered to save the soil from desertification(沙漠化)by planting trees in Korla,Xinjiang.

It is no easy job.The high temperature in Korla makes it difficult for anyone to work day after day in the sunshine.Besides,water is a big problem.In fact,Wang Chengbang's work in the first few years failed as very few trees survived(存活).

But Wang Chengbang would not give up."After trying many different ways,I have learned how to grow young trees in a better way," said Wang Chengbang.He also worked out new ways to save water.With his hard work,more and more trees have survived.So far,he has planted more than 1.5 million trees.Those green trees prevent desertification,make the air cleaner and protect people from the hot sun.Now,Korla is a model city in environmental protection.

Wang Chengbang is also successful in fighting cancer(癌症).In 2005,he had cancer and was told that he had only six months to live.However,he continued taking care of his trees rather than lying on the hospital bed."Working is the best medicine.Planting trees helps to fight cancer," he often jokes.

A new contact lens(隐形眼镜片)has been developed by scientists from America,Britain and China.It can check for illnesses at any time by examining chemicals in tears.A new sensor(感应器)is used to achieve his purpose.

Scientists hope that the improvement could help to deal with sudden medical events.Dr.Zhao Yunlong said, "COVID﹣19 has had a great influence on the scientific world.And we are doing research to help people deal with similar events in the future."

When introducing the new contact lens,Dr.Guo Shiqi,a researcher at Harvard,said,"In the past,the sensor was put between the layers(层)of the lens.It didn't have direct contact(接触)with tears,But our new sensor is smaller and smarter.I t can be fixed to a lens and keep direct contact with tears.What's more,it causes no discomfort to the eye.

The contact lens has not been put to the market,but researchers are quite sure that it will be welcomed.It is especially useful for the old and those who may experience sudden medical events.

As society develops,scientists are supposed to develop more products that provide care and convenience(便利)for people.The contact lens is one of what they are researching on.Earlier,a California company developed another kind of contact lens using LED technology.It can show the heath information on the mobile phone.Steve Sinclair,head of the company,said, "We have to build something that helps you when you need it and stays of when you don't need it."
