Who is Li Ziqi? For 7 million YouTube viewers and 20 million Weibo users, it’s easy to answer. The 29-year-old vlogger’s videos about her country life recently went viral (走红). Her fans call her “the goddess of nature”.

She is worthy of this title. Cooking, painting, designing, farming ... she practises and is master of many kinds of skills. In her videos, Li wears hanfu that she made herself.

“She performs the work of a farmer with the grace (优雅) of a fairy (仙子),” the South China Morning Post said.

Li was raised by her grandparents in a small village in Sichuan province. When she was 14, she went to the city to work, but returned to the countryside in 2012 to take care of her sick grandmother.

To make a living, Li runs an online store. At first, she just used her videos to advertise her products.

For her global audience, what is even more interesting is Li’s deep knowledge of food, nature and Chinese culture. “I can see how good Chinese people are at cooking! I never thought of preserving (保存) meat like that!” one foreign fan wrote on YouTube.

On a sunny day last January, people got together at a parking lot in Las Vegas to see small vehicles that looked more like colorful eggs than ordinary cars. These vehicles were electric, ran on two wheels instead of four and held only two passengers. Thanks to their tiny size, six of the vehicles would fit in a parking spot. If the idea of parking such a small car makes you nervous, don’t worry: these cars can park themselves. And they can return to their owners when controlled by a button on a cellphone.

The vehicle is called the EN-V(Electric Networked-Vehicle). It is built by General Motors, or GM, and it points to what future vehicles might be like. It is designed to be energy-saving, solve environmental problems and help ease traffic jams, parking and safety concerns. The automaker says its next concept car(概念车) will help drivers get whatever they want.

According to GM, the company has also designed an electric vehicle named Lean Machine. However, it is a small three-wheeler and this single-seater vehicle looks like a motorcycle. One day, such small, electric vehicles might safely carry people around，especially in crowded cities.

Scientists and engineers are finding new ways to make cars safer, smarter and more efficient, or use less energy. New cars may help you keep track of your health by reminding you to take medicine. If it’s electric, your car may send you a message reminding you to recharge it. Cars will talk to other cars, your computer, your phone and your iPad. They’ll help drivers save energy, watch out for other drivers and avoid walkers on the streets.

This is the future of vehicles: safer, smarter and more energy-saving. Besides, they might even drive themselves down the highway or through a city. You can sit back and enjoy the ride.

An anti-smoking ban(禁烟令) took effect on Jan 1, 2019 in Hangzhou, East China’s Zhejiang Province, stopping e-cigarett（e电子烟）use in the same place where smoking is not allowed. You have to pay a fine of up to 20,000 yuan if you break the rule. While the use of e-cigarettes is allowed in many other cities, is it necessary to do so? Let’s share our readers’ opinions.

Andrew (US) Smoking of all kinds should be banned. Smoking is a silent killer which not just kills the smokers but also the people around the smokers.

Li Wei (China) Not only does the e-cigarette not help smokers to give up smoking, but also it encourages young and old nonsmokers to start smoking, and finally they will smoke the real thing! And the smoke from e-cigarettes is just as bad for the health of others who do not smoke!

Edward (Canada) E-cigarette is another choice to smoking. I picked one up two years ago, and have not had a real cigarette since that day. As a matter of fact, I still have four packages of Zhonghua sitting on my shelf to remind me of that bad habit that I started over 40 years.

Wang Lei (China) E-cigarette might be better than real cigarettes, but they still are very closely related to cigarettes. E-cigarette not only causes dangerous side effects（副作用） but also harms the people around you through second-hand smoking.

Chris (US) People use e-cigarettes to give up smoking. I’m all for banning their sales to kids. Nicotine（尼古丁） is harmful, but if they’re going to smoke anyway, aren’t e-cigarettes better than real cigarettes?

We confirmed that Jim was locked in the hut.We spent two nights d1. a hole under the hut.We came up under Jim’s bed.He was very surprised to see us.We p2. Jim to free him when we were ready.Then we climbed t3. the hole back to our bedroom and talked about a plan.

We heard somebody shouting, “The thieves have s6.Jim!” We quickly climbed out and ran towards the fence.

We kept running like our f7. were on fire.We made it to the fence.I jumped over the fence and Jim followed me.Tom was right behind us.U8. ,he caught his trousers on a nail. He pulled t9. free but the men heard the noise.They started shooting. We ran to the river and jumped into the canoe. We lay down,out of breath.

“Jim!You’re a free man!” I said.We were all happy and Tom was the h10. .

It was true.His leg was bleeding badly but he considered it as part of the adventure.
