Mrs Thompson had noticed that Teddy didn’t play well with other children in her class. His clothes were messy and he needed a bath. Mrs Thompson marked all his papers with a big red ―F‖ at the top.
At the end of the term, she had to review each child’s past records. When reviewing Teddy’s, she was surprised. Teddy’s first grade teacher had written, ―Teddy does his work neatly and has good manners. He is a joy to be around.‖ His second grade teacher had written, ―Teddy is an excellent student, well liked by his classmates, but he is troubled by his mother’s illness.‖ His third
grade teacher had written, ―His mother’s death has been hard on him.’’ Teddy’s fourth grade teacher had written, ―Teddy is withdrawn (内向的) and doesn’t have many friends.‖
Mrs Thompson was ashamed. She felt even worse when she received Teddy’s Christmas present — a bottle of perfume (香水). She tried some of the perfume on her wrist. Teddy stayed after school that day just long enough to say ―Mrs Thompson, today you smelled just like my mom used to.‖ She cried for a long time after the child left. On that very day, Mrs Thompson taught not only knowledge but also children. As she worked with Teddy, his mind seemed to come alive. The more she encouraged him, the faster he responded. By the end of the year, Teddy had become one of the smartest children in the class.

Making sequels (续集) to be popular movies can be risky. Audiences might not agree with the direction that the story goes in. But Paddington II, the sequel to 2014’s Paddington I, won’t make you disappointed.
In Paddington I, the brown bear travels from Peru (秘鲁) to London after the death of his Uncle. He goes to live with the Brown family and they have some adventures together.
In Paddington II, Paddington decides to save up some money to buy a very special book for his Aunt Lucy’s 100th birthday. But before he can buy the book, it is stolen by a thief. Paddington is accused of stealing the book and ends up going to prison! There, he makes new friends and tries to come up with a plan to catch the thief.
One of the things that makes Paddington II so great is that Paddington never gives up, even when he is sent to prison. He often looks foolish and sometimes finds himself in strange situations. But he always stays positive (积极正面) and does his best to make things right. ―Bears always fall on their feet‖ is a line from the Paddington books. It means Paddington always ends up Okay in the end.
The movie also gives an interesting view of London in the 21st century. Paddington has long been connected with the city and the movie shows a lot of London’s cultural icons (图像), such as Victorian steam fairs and the Shard skyscraper. Paddington fans everywhere are sure to love this film. (

Would you like to sit in the seat of a bus while it drives itself? This
experience may not be far away. These days, Alphabet’s self-driving buses are doing a test in Shenzhen. It is believed to be the first such live test in the world. Each bus looks like a normal one. There’s even a driver in position for safety. But the new buses drive automatically along designed routes without
driver’s hands ever touching the wheel. They can avoid passers-by, speed up, slow down, stop at bus stops, change roads and deal with traffic lights.
The bus is developed under a smart bus system. The key technology used in the self-driving bus is a device with a laser beam (激光装置) in front of the bus. It allows the bus to make a 3D map of the environment. It also lets the bus ―know‖ how far it is from other things and people.
The bus also uses sensors (传感器), as well as radar. This way, the bus can ―see‖ far enough to deal with traffic. There is a camera near the back-view mirror. It helps the bus ―see‖ traffic lights. And the bus also has built-in GPS, which gives it an exact position.
All of these technologies make the bus safe on the road, according to experts. But some people still doubt whether the buses can successfully deal with emergency situations. (
