Some time ago,in my class was about to fail a student for his answer to a physics question when the student claimed he derved a better score.The examination question sounded “safe ”.“Show how it is possible to determine the height of a tall building with the aid of a barometer(压表)”The student had answered:“Take the barometer to the top of the building,attach long rope to it,lower the barometer to the street,and then bring it up,measuring the length of the rope.The length of the rope is the height of the building.”
I argued that a high grade should prove his competence in physics,but the answer did not confirm this.I suggested that the student have another try.Immediately,he worked out his answer:A cond best way is to take the barometer to the top of the building.Drop the barometer,timing its fall with a st
opwatch.Then,using the formula s=2a 21t ,calculate the height of the building.I was shocked by his answer.His method gave me not only a broken barometer but a U-turn in my teaching philosophy.I gave him full marks.
On his leaving my office,I recalled that he suggested there could be better answer.So I asked him what it was.“Oh,yes,”said the student,“There are many ways.Probably the best,”he said,“is to take the barometer to the bament and ask the superintendent(楼管).You speak to him as follows:‘Mr.Superintendent,here I have a fine barometer.If you tell me the height of this building,I will give it to you.’”
At this point,I asked the student if he really did not know the conventional answer to this question.He admitted that he did,but said that he was fed up with high school instructors'trying to teach him how to think,and to u the so-called scientific “method”.He just wanted to solve the
problem in a practical manner,not just answer the question in an expected way.Hearing this,I really had nothing to do but give the boy a firm handshake,feeling thankful that I hadn't failed him in the first place and even more thankful,neither had he.

It's been nearly two decades since the traditional clothing style Hanfu first started to re-emerge in China.Since then,it has gone from a small cultural movement celebrating an ancient fashion to a trend that is booming on social media,having been adopted by China's Generation Z as a means of
connecting with their past.Instead of following other cultures blindly,Generation Z now have different opinions about what trend is by promoting local culture while having an objective view of exotic cultural products.
The new tastes of Generation Z—young people born after1995—are well reprented on Bilibili.In the recent New Year's Eve gala prented by Bilibili,it attracted more than100million views within48hours with a colorful t of programs ranging from Peking Opera to classical Chine cartoon.The same is also true of movie industry.Last year,for the first time,the top10 most viewed films in China were all domestic films,while the ticket sales for imported films have dropped to only16.28percent.
“Generation Z grew up with the rapid development of China and under good economic conditions.With the development of the Chine Internet industry,they have more access to diver
international information and culture,which bring them a much broader vision and makes them more open and confident in analyzing foreign culture.Apart from taking pride in China's rapid development,this generation also pursues individuality and values devotion to the country. Professor Zhang Yiwu said.He also noted that the popular rock and punk culture pursued by the70s and80s ge
neration is more of a challenge against real life and local culture.Some people who were born in the1970s and1980s did not grow up in the Internet age-they experienced the transformation of China going from poor to rich first-hand.This kind of longing and admiration of the West came from a lack of confidence.
However,the Generation Z now have the confidence to look at Western culture with equal status.This kind of cultural confidence will result in China being more active and creative in its development on the international stage in the future.

The team at LIPI is experimenting with the disposable masks containing polypropylene(聚丙烯),type of plastic that is tough but stretchable,which makes“good raw material”to produce
various plastic products.At RMIT university in Melbourne,Australia,rearchers are making mix of mask pellets(颗粒),which help to add hardness and strength,and process building rubble designed to
be ud for ba layer of roads and pavements.One kilometer of two-lane road will u around3million masks,preventing93tons of waste from going to landfill.

“To adopt the new recycling methods on a large scale would require a steady supply of waste masks in order to keep the machine running,an official from the Plastic Recycling Association said,“but this never means tho innovations are white elephants.“
