In China, most families have one baby. Are you the only child in your family? Do you want to have a younger sister or brother? Well, 1 a new baby in your family is really special. If everyone in your family takes care of the baby, your mom will be very glad to have 2 happy family. When you help to look after a new baby, you must try to be careful.
Babies don't need sugar or salt, so don't give these things to them. 3, sugar and salt are not good for babies, or you. 4 ask your parents before you do anything for the baby, and they will show you how to look after your little brother or sister.

Some companies are not only making lots of money, they are also changing the world. US magazine Fortune chose 50 companies changing the world. Here, we picked three companies to see how they did it.
Didi chuxing, China
Did you hear Didi? The Chinese company lets people in about 400 Chinese cities use app(应用程序)on their phones to book a car ride. Didi allows people to share a car at a cheaper price. Fortune says Didi helps protect our earth because fewer people are driving cars.
Inter, US
This company makes computers more useful. It is famous and successful because they use computers to teache children around the world. Many people get a lot from Inter's lessons, especially some teachers from schools. The company trained 15 million teachers all over the world.
GlaxoSmithKline, US
It is hard for some people to buy expensive medicine. GlaxoSmithKline is one of the world's largest medicine companies. In March, GlaxoSmithKline gave the patent(专利)for the medicine to some poor countries. That way, the medicine companies makes medicine with less money. It means more people can buy cheap medicine and get better.
Different weather makes people feel different. It influences(影响) health, intelligence(智力) and feeling.
In August, it is very hot and wet in the southern part of the United states. People there have heart trouble and other kind of health problems during this month. In the northeast and the Middle West, it is very hot at some times and very cold at other times. People in these states have more heart trouble after the weather changes in February or March.
The weather can also influence intelligence. For example, in a 1983 report by scientists, IQ of a group of students was very high when a very strong wind came, but after the strong wind, their IQ was 10% lower. The wind can help people have more intelligence. Very hot weather, on the other hand, can make it lower. Students in many schools of the United States often get worse on exams in the hot months of the year(July and August).
Weather also has a strong influence on people's feelings. Winter may be a bad time for thin people. They usually feel cold during these months. They might feel unhappy during cold weather. But fat people may have a hard time in hot summer. At about 18℃, people become stronger.
Low air pressure(气压)may make people forgetful, People leave more bags on buses and in shops on low-pressure days. People feel best at a temperature of about 18℃. Are you feeling sad, tired, forgetful or happy today? It may be the weather's problem.
The population of the world is still going up and scientists are worried that there will not enough food for us in the middle of the century. One plant from Madagascar, the Kalanchoe fedtschenkoi, may help. It takes in carbon dioxide (二氧化碳) at night and it needs 10 times less water than food plants like rice. This means it can grow in the desert(沙漠).
It is dangerous to eat this plant, but scientists can study two things about it: how it takes in carbon dioxide at night when other plants only do this during the day, and why it is so good at living in the desert. There will be less good land for growing food in the future because deserts are increase in size. There, growing plants will be more and more important.
There is a possible way to take this research. To grow a desert plant to eat will be difficult, but it may be possible to use the genes(基因) from this plant and put them into food plants like beans or potatoes. And the food plants with the genes can grow in the desert. We hope the plant could be an answer to our future food.
