As a Chinese citizen (中国公民), I'm proud to experience how my motherland took actions to protect her citizens. I never thought Chinese citizenship (save) our lives until I saw the government try everything it could to save overseas Chinese citizens. In 2011, the situation in Libya was tense. When the government learned of this situation, one warship, twenty civil aircraft and four military aircraft were sent there immediately and all 35，860 Chinese citizens(move) out of Libya within a week. These actions have been highly praised around the world. The world isn't peaceful. It's just someone carries the burden for you!

Tom was a middle﹣aged businessman whose repeated failure in his work made him an upset man, often complaining (抱怨) that others had been playing tricks on him. One day he told his wife he was so1 with the city that he had to leave.

So his family moved to2 city. It was in the evening of a weekend when Tom and his wife were busy3 up their new home that the4 suddenly went out. So they had to5 work. Because Tom had forgotten bringing along candles, he had to wait6 in a low mood. Just then he heard slight knocks on his door that sounded clear in the7 night.

"Who's it？" he wondered, since Tom had no8in the new city. And this was the moment he especially disliked being disturbed or troubled.9, he went unwillingly to the door and opened it impatiently. At the door was a little girl, shyly asking, "Sir, do you have10？I'm your neighbour." "No!" answered Tom in anger and shut the door11. He complained about it with his wife, "As soon as we settled down, the neighbour came to12 things. " After a while, the door was knocked again. He opened it and found the13 girl outside. But this time she was holding two candles, saying, "My grandma told me the new neighbour downstairs might need candles. She14me here to give you these. " Tom was very15 by what he saw. When he fully undersood, he said, "Thank you and your16. God bless you!"

At that moment he suddenly realized what caused his17in life. It was his18and unkindness with other people. The person who had cheated him in life was19 nobody else but himself, for he had fallen for his heartless20.

Weekly Round﹣up

My family lives in Texas. I was born and brought up in Texas and I am a graduate of the University of Texas. However, around my second year in law school, I wanted to make a great change, which was almost unheard of for Texans： I wanted to leave!

I realized this after completing my first﹣year internship (实习期). I knew I wanted something different and my chance came during the 2011 Super Bowl (橄榄球超级大赛) in Dallas. A snowstorm blanketed the entire city in snow and thousands of people were gathered. I overheard that StubHub, a big company from a great city, San Francisco, was throwing a party next door to my hotel. I thought if I could get an internship, I could leave for the summer and at least see what it was like. Yes, it was a huge leap. I told myself I was ready.

There was just one problem: I wasn't invited to the StubHub party. But you know I'm the type of person who goes for something she wants. Needless to say, I crashed the party and found my way to the president. I kindly introduced myself and then asked if they had a legal internship program. Guess what? They accepted my request to be a legal intern, even though no such program existed.

The legal department didn't have a permanent position for me. However, I got many other chances to be a legal intern in other companies. That experience has shaped my life. Working for a great company in San Francisco, I'm incredibly happy for making my decision to leave Texas.

By leaving Texas, I learned that it is so much more rewarding to try the unfamiliar than to stay in the comfort zone. Exploring the unfamiliar is how you'll understand what fits your life. I say, dive in headfirst.

The Notre Dame (巴黎圣母院) fire has been put out, but its wooden roof have been largely damaged. The terrible accident causes a sudden sharp pain to people around the world, "What a pity that we cannot see the damaged parts of the wonder anymore."

But the good news is that there is at least one way of seeing them, namely via a video game called Assassin's Creed: Unity. In this game, the player can travel to one city after another and enter the buildings exactly like what they are in reality, and see Notre Dame as it was before the fire. In addition, with VR technology, which is already quite mature, one can even look around the undamaged Notre Dame as if it is still there. Maybe digital technology could help to better protect architectural cultural heritage (建筑文化遗产).

The idea of digitizing ancient buildings, making digital models of them so their data can be saved, dates back to the 1990s and the necessary technology has continued to advance since then. By scanning the ancient buildings with lasers, building 3D models with hundreds of images, as well as measuring (测量) everything precisely, engineers can make a copy as "same" as the real one.

As computers and smartphones are hugely popular, the digital replica or digital copy has great pratical value. First, it allows tourists to feel the cultural relics (文物) without touching them, which helps protect them. The virtual tour of Dunhuang Grottoes in Gansu Province is a good example of this as tourists can view the paintings without standing near them. Furthermore, it can make the digitized cultural relics more famous by spreading awareness about them via the Internet. In 2000, a virtual tour of the Great Wall became very popular at the Hannover World Expo, which increased the number of foreign tourists visiting it in the following years. Above all, it preserves all the information of the cultural relics. Even if the original ones are damaged one day, people can still know what they were like and can build a replica if desired.

Time is the biggest problem to architectural heritage. Maybe we will have better technologies in the future，but the digital technology offers a practical way to preserve architectural cultural heritage at the moment.

Beijing Daxing Airport is Finally Open

Beijing Daxing International Airport (PKX), also known as Beijing New Airport, is the biggest airport in the world. It is also the second international airport of Beijing along with Beijing Capital International airport. Daxing Airport is located in Daxing District (the southern suburbs of Beijing). Its location was selected after thorough analysis. With a 46km﹣distance from Tiananmen Square, a 67km﹣distance from Beijing International Airport and a 26km﹣distance from Langfang City Center, Daxing Airport aims to become the main airport hub of the serving area. It is expected to handle up to 45 million passengers per year by 2021 and reach an outstanding 100 million in the future.

How big is Daxing Airport？

Daxing Airport was called "Starfish" because of its impressive shape. There is a huge terminal building (航站楼) covering a 700，000m² area while the ground transportation centre extends to 80，000m². For the time being, Daxing Airport has four runways and 79 airport stands. The 4 runways' size is impressive while the airport stands are suitable both for one twin﹣aisle (双通道) and two single﹣aisle planes. Eventually, the airport will have 7 runways in total and will be able to serve about 620，000 flights annually.

Who designed Daxing Airport？

The airport's design is pioneering. Its terminal building is the impressive outcome of the collaboration between ADP Ingeniérie (ADPI) and the architecture team of Zaha Hadid (ZHA) who tragically passed away in 2016. Then, in August 2018, Hong Kong design studio Lead 8 undertook the design of the new commercial terminal which is expected to respond to every passenger's needs.

What are the designing advantages？

Daxing Airport was designed to show high respect to environmental protection. Besides, to simplify passenger procedures, there are only less than 600 meters between checkpoints and gates and a minimum waiting time for baggage claim. Furthermore, the designers paid great attention to the convenient ground transportation system of the airport. High﹣speed and intercity trains, metro and public buses will connect the new airport to Beijing city and other major areas in a fast and efficient way.
