Nature has many ways to solve problems. We humans learn a lot from animals and plants in nature. There is a science about how we copy great ideas from animals and plants to create helpful products. It is called biomimetics(仿生学).
Some animals such as this sugar glider have wing-like structures(结构)to help them fly from tree to tree. When they jump, they spread out their arms and legs to help them fly down easily. Wing-suits, a kind of clothes, can let people experience flying. The idea of these clothes comes from the sugar glider.
Some animals have structures used for self-protection. An armadillo has a hard cover that can protect it from other dangerous animals. When an armadillo feels that it is in danger, it will change into a ball. Once the dangerous animal goes away, it comes out of the ball. The armadillo has taught people to create a backpack with a hard surface. The surface of the backpack protects things inside from being broken.
Plants have helped people come up with amazing inventions, too. Perhaps the best-known example is Velcro(尼龙搭扣). It includes two pieces of cloth. They stick to each other when they are pressed together. Velcro is used on everything from handbags to clothes. The idea of Velcro is from burrs(带芒刺的小果实)of a plant. They have special structures to allow themselves to stick to people’s clothing or hair. They are taken to other places in this way.
From these examples, we can see biomimetics is widely used in our daily life. What other problems will nature help us solve in the future? Let’s wait and see!

My family has always had family dinners,as far as I can remember. Since I was a little boy,my mother has insisted(坚持)that we attend family dinners at least once a week. Every Sunday,my mother would prepare a lot of food and bring it to my grandma’s house. We would wait for more family members to come before eating together at the table,my grandma’s dinner table.
I used to feel that was a silly little tradition. But now I find it’s fantastic to get together as a family to talk about anything and everything after a long week of school and work. Every time I sit at the dinner table,my grandma’s dinner table,I look around and find so many people who truly love me. It’s a love that feels so good. For me,dinner is not just a meal,but a chance to reconnect with each other.
I finally realize the true meaning of this tradition. It’s not about the dinners or activities. It’s about family,a group of people who care about each other. All the memories(记忆)around my grandma’s dinner table will last forever.
Now,I’m always expecting Sunday to arrive.

Once a little weed(杂草)grew in a field. There were many tall and beautiful flowers around it. Lots of bees and butterflies came to them because of their nice smells and bright colours. The little weed wasn’t satisfied, because its flowers were tiny and simple.
One spring morning, three children came to play in the field. “Let’s pick some flowers for our grandma!” said one. “That’s a good idea!” said another. “She will love all these bright and beautiful flowers!”
“What about that one?” the youngest child said, pointing at the little weed. “Forget it!” laughed the oldest brother. “That’s just a useless weed!”
Hearing this, the little weed felt even worse. “Am I really useless?” it asked itself. “Why was I put on the Earth?”
In winter, all flowers were gone, only the little weed stood alone in the field. Just at that time, it noticed some birds coming above the field. “We are hungry!” they shouted. The little weed felt sorry for the poor birds and called out to them, “Hey! Down here! I have pods(豆荚)that you can eat!”
“You’re so kind!” The birds ate up the seeds(种子)in the pods thankfully. “They’re delicious. We can’t find anything better than what you gave us!”
This made the little weed pleased and confident. “At last, I have found out what I am good for!” the little weed said.
