In Wisconsin，the US，students at Prairie Hill School won't learn in their traditional classrooms
this year. Instead, they will take their classes outside. The students and teachers will face the snow，
rain，wind and sunshine when they have classes outdoors.
The school has built outdoor learning classrooms for each of its classes，but the most
impressive（印象深刻的） maybe Lindsey Earle's fourth﹣grade classroom.
Earle has built a 12﹣sided outdoor classroom. The classroom will keep social distancing and
increase airflow（空气流动）﹣two important things during COVID﹣19.
Earle says she feels much safer teaching outside. And she's excited to watch her students grow and learn
in such an interesting way. Earle also adds that she hopes outdoor learning can be used at schools across the
world
However，outside learning can be difficult. Teachers need a backup（备用的） plan when the
weather is too bad. And many schools don't have enough outdoor space to hold all of their students.

doing the right thing." she says.

Every year，the words best minds create new inventions that make our lies easier and more
interesting. Here are some best inventions listed by Time magazine.
Photo﹣taking drone（无人机）
Spark is a camera drone. It can fly above your head and take photos. A Chinese company
called DJI made it. It is very small. When folded，it is as small as a can of soda. Like other
drones，you can control it with a remote control. But you can also control it with hand gestures.
This is the coolest part. Put your hand close to your face. Spark is ready to take a photo of
you when its red light flashes. Then，put your hand down. After a few seconds，the photo is taken.
With hand gestures，taking photos is very convenient.
Hospital robot Moxi
Nurses are busy with many things during atypical workday. It can be hard for nurses to make
time for their most important task：interacting（互动） with their patients. The company Diligent
Robotics has built a hospital robot called Moxi. It can help nurses do non﹣patient﹣facing tasks so
that they have more time for patient care.
Moxi has an arm to reach and a gripper（抓爪） to pick up things. It can move around easily.
It is able lo finish tasks one by one on its own. After testing Moxi for one year，the company
plans to send Moxi to more US hospitals by the end of 2020.
Smart hand
People use artificial intelligence（AI） in many ways. The company Brain Robotics used it to
make a smart prosthetic（假体的） hand. With its AI software，the hand can "learn" from its user and
vice versa （反之亦然） .This kind of learning helps the hand work like a real hand. The more it is
used，the more lifelike it will be.
The hand is cheaper than other prosthetic hands thanks to the use of 3 D printing. Each hand is printed l of

四、范文
At present only a few students do some reading after class. Here are several reasons.
First of all, quite a lot of students have too much homework to do. Still others haven't formed a habit of
reading. They would rather spend their time on TV or on the Internet.
However, reading has many benefits. Through reading we can learn more about the world. Besides, it canhelp us think better. What's more, reading can make our life more colourful.
Here are my suggestions. For one thing, teachers must give us less homework so that we can have more
time to read. For another, it's a good idea to form reading clubs and learn from each other.
