More Youths Answer Xi’s Call in Science
Chinese researchers get younger and help nation make great progress in science.
During a discussion with some of Chinese youth, President Xi Jinping called young people “the most energetic and creative group of our society” and said that they should “stand in the front of changes and creation”.
Chinese young people have heartedly answered President Xi’s call. Since then, there has been a notable development that Chinese scientists in their 30s are the backbone of some of the country’s greatest scientific and technological fields. In 2018, the average(平均的) age of the researchers in China’s science and technology fields was 35.9, down from 36.8 in 2013 and 37.4 in 2008, according to a survey made every five years by the China Association for Science and Technology.
This trend is shown among the scientists and engineers working on the FAST, which is also known as “Sky Eye”. It has a research workforce hat is mostly in their 30s.”People often called out team a good example, but we were just a group of ordinary people who joined the project in our 20s, and worked tirelessly for it into our 30s and 40s,”one of the team members said.
Yao Rui, a researcher who joined the FAST team at the age of 28, said that “Having a problem is the least of my worries, because wherever there is a problem, there is a chance to work it out,” she said. “As a young scientist, I am so lucky that I can not only meet the needs of the nation, but also release my personal passions, so I can improve and grow together with my country.”
Sun Jinghai, 38, said he had spent the last 15 years at FAST perfecting and protecting the giant machine. “And I gave my youth to the science research, and it helped me grow in return, enlarged my professional knowledge, and rewarded me with confidence as I overcame a lot of obstacles and failures,” he added.

A magnitude-7.4 earthquake happened in Taiwan on 3 April 2024. It killed several people and took down many buildings. The terrible event makes us realize that Chengdu is also near the earthquake area. What can we do to keep us safe during the earthquake?
The key to being safe during an earthquake is preparation. So an earthquake emergency kit should be something we need to have. According to research, there is a 30% higher chance that you will live through an earthquake if you have the kit. Because your earthquake emergency kit will make sure you have all you need and deal with any injuries until help arrives.
How to build your own earthquake emergency kit? Firstly, choose some ready-to-eat canned (罐头的) meat and enough fresh bottled water. Secondly, choose medicine that will help deal with cuts, burns and injuries. Lastly, bring some useful tools like flashlights, matches, knives and dust masks (防尘面具).
While an earthquake safety kit will be helpful after an earthquake, it is also important to remember the useful life-saving skills below.
First, keep shoes near your bed. The most common injuries from earthquakes come from standing on broken glass. Second, don’t depend on doorways for protection. During an earthquake, get under a table or a desk. Hold on until the shaking stops. Practice “Drop, Cover and Hold On” as the picture shows. Third, discuss with your family what to do, where to meet if you are lost and how you will communicate when an earthquake comes. Last but not least, make sure there is an out-of the-area friend that family members can contact with. Text messages often go through when phone calls won’t work, so don’t give up if you can’t make a call.

We all know the sun is important. It makes life on our planet possible. But how does the sun do that? It’s the sun’s energy.
Energy from the sun is called solar energy (太阳能). It comes in the form of light or heat. People have used solar energy for thousands of years. The sun’s energy can be used to heat water and even food. If you own a magnifying glass, your parents have probably warned you not to leave it in the sun. Solar energy can actually make the magnifying glass burn objects underneath it causing a fire. This type of energy from the sun is called solar thermal (热的) energy.
We can also turn the sun’s light into electricity. This is done with solar panels (板). Solar panels are made up of a material called silicon (硅). The silicon is heated and formed into very thin wafers (晶片). When the sunlight hits the solar panel, the electrons in the silicon move and flow through wires (电线). Using this technology, we can run a calculator and even power cars in an easy way.
But what happens on cloudy days? The electrons in the silicon will stop moving, which means the electricity can’t flow. But this doesn’t mean that solar energy can only be used on sunny days. People can use the batteries (电池) which are attached to (附着于) solar panels to store the electricity. So the stored electricity can be used to power cars at night or on cloudy days.
Did you know that solar energy is not as expensive as it used to be? In fact, in the last few years.solar panels have become much more affordable for people to use. Since the sun gives off more energy in one second than people have used, imagine what we could do if we used the sun’s energy to power our planet.
