24、   Let me tell you about a young boy who made a model car all on his own. The boy is me, six years ago when I was just 11. The car was small and simple, but in my imagination it was a high-speed racing car, speeding along the race road.

It was during the school summer holidays and workmen were building a new driveway and garage (车库) beside our house. It meant to add something new to our home. When I watched the workman, I came up with an idea—I would build a car to drive into the garage in celebration of it. I told my mother and began with my plans. But I couldn't find the right things for making the car, so I gave up and sadly spent several days doing nothing. My mother noticed that I had stopped working and asked me why. I explained and she suggested that maybe I should change my plan to fit the things I had, rather than give up.

And that's just what I did. I found small pieces of wood in my father's workshop and made my car from anything that was lying around the house. When I found a small engine from one of my old model planes, I added that. The power came from a battery (电池) I found in a box.

By the time the garage was finished, so was my car. I called my family together outside the house, started the engine and put the car on the driveway. It was fast, and I had to run to the garage to prevent it from hitting the new door. My family began to cheer and I smiled proudly.

Thanks to my mother, I learned the value of continuing to do things, especially something difficult. Soon I was making plans for my next project: a robot!

25、

A giant panda’s skeleton was found in the tomb of a Chinese emperor. It’s the first time that a complete skeleton of the animal was found in an ancient burial place.

The burial site is located near Xi’an. In late 2021, experts dug the remains of some animals around the tomb of Emperor Wen of Han. But only recently they made sure that one of the skeletons is from a giant panda.

China’s giant pandas are divided into two kinds: Sichuan giant pandas and Qinling giant pandas. An expert says that the panda might belong to the Qinling giant panda. The kind has larger and rounder face, and is different from the more common Sichuan giant panda.

“The appearance of a panda near Xi’an could also show that the weather in the area was warmer than it is today, allowing bamboo to grow there. However, it’s also possible that the animal was sent from the south as a gift,” experts add.
