Robots work in space

Day Two
Can phones teach us?
Can cellphones be educational tools (教学工具)? Yes, of course!
Many students have reference books (参考书), but these books might not be able to answer all of the students’ questions. The internet, on the other hand, can answer nearly any question.
    Take out your phone and you will find a lot of information. With this information, we can answer questions about different subjects.1 You can try to find the answer to a test question on your phone. Online courses (线上课程) also help us study even when we are not in the classroom.
    But every coin (硬币) has two sides. Cellphones also bring problems. Sometimes we can’t tell if the information is true or false. 2 Some people spend too much time playing online games.
    But we cannot give up eating for fear of choking (因噎废食). We should get help from parents. We should make cellphones our good friends rather than bad ones.

Day Three
Our melting planet
The Okjokull glacier (奥克冰川) is dying.
It is Iceland’s first glacier to die because of global warming (全球变暖). About 100 years ago, the Okjokull glacier had an area of 15 square kilometers and was 50 meters thick. It w
as as big as 2,100 soccer fields (足球场). 3 But now it is only one square kilometer and is just 15 meters thick. It is not a real glacier anymore.
      Its ice has turned into water because of global warming. Temperatures (温度) have gone up because of greenhouse gas emissions (温室气体排放). A study came out in April. It said glaciers across nearly half of the world will be gone by 2100 if emissions don’t go down. People put up a plaque (碑) at Okjokull to remind others of the dangers of global warming.
