A US blog website for volleyball fans created a new word for Chinese volleyball player Zhu Ting. “ZHUperb!” the word combines(结合) “Zhu” and “superb”, to describe the 24-year-old player’s dominance(支配地位) on the court(球场).

At a young age, Zhu is the captain of China women’s national volleyball team. But it hasn’t been easy for Zhu to get to where she is today.

Born in a farming family in Henan Province. Zhu got a chance to attend a local sports school at the age of 13. The player got homesick during the first few months of training. But later she got over it, and her father encouraged her to work hard. She tried her best and made great progress. She quickly moved from the provincial youth team(省少年队) to the national youth team. In 2013, Zhu joined the national team and met the famous coach Lang Ping.

At the beginning, because of her 1.98-meter height, Zhu found it difficult to move fast and hold her weight on her feet. But Lang encouraged her to take advantage of her height. She trained her to jump high to smash the ball(扣杀). After this, she became an ace spiker(主攻). Now she treats her height as an advantage of her physical strength.

Zhu still works hard during training. “Hard work and talent are both important. I’ll move forward step by step.” she said.

Nowadays 3D.printing is becoming more and more popular. We are now able to print things such as clothing, musical instruments, model cars and so on. People and businesses are able to create the things they need in life very quickly and easily using 3D.printers

There is a 3D-printed public toilet in Sun Mountain National Forest Park, Suzhou ,Jiangsu Province, China. The green-and-wood-colored toilet has been named"little box in forest.” It covers 20 square meters. It was made from garbage using 3D.printing technology .The eco-friendly (环保)toilet was built without any metal, but it's even stronger than those built from concrete material(水泥材料)

As part of China's “toilet revolution (革命)”, the government tries to improve public toilets. Suzhou has been using the top technology in its toilet building.

At some tourist areas, tourists can scan QR codes(扫码)with their mobile phones in order to receive 80cm toilet paper. They can scan the codes many times for more paper, but have to pay if they scan too many times. The invention can prevent toilet paper waste. The technology can help save nearly 9, 000 yuan per toilet every year.

Suzhou is also using big data( 数据)technology to manage public toilets. An online service platform (平台) has been set up for toilets in tourist areas. The platform helps users to quickly find the nearest toilet and know how many people are waiting. Users can also post comment(评价) about toilets on the platform.
