Ten-year-old Orion Jean has always known that kindness is important. He often practiced it by volunteering with his family. Last year, after entering the National Kindness Speech Competition, he became crazy about it. Now he works to spread kindness everywhere through projects that help others. He calls his campaign (活动) the Race to Kindness.
When a teacher told him about the competition, Orion had only 24 hours to write, memorize, and record his speech. In it, he talked about the importance of kindness. “Kindness is like spreading hugs around the world.” Orion said. He encouraged listeners to join him in
Orion’s speech won the competition. He used his $ 500 prize to support his first Race to Kindness project, a toy drive for a local children’s hospital. He collected 619 toys. After that, Orion wanted to make an even bigger impact (影响). Working with others, he packed meal bags for people in need with a kind message in each bag. Orion also organized several events in his community. In all, he collected more than 100,000 meals!
Orion believes that everyone wins this race. He says, “If you’re kind to someone else, it can make their day brighter and inspire them to pass on kindness. And then it just grows and grows, and it can make the world a better place. ”

Imagine you need to send an important document (文件) far away as soon as possible. How would you do it? Chances are that you would use e-mail or a smartphone app. However, for many people, the answer to that question is the fax machine.
The first fax machine was invented in 1843 by Alexander Bain. Then in 1964, modern fax machines became widely used. In the 1980s and 1990s, they were regarded as the fastest and safest way to send information.
With the development of technology, you might think e-mail would have made the fax machine a thing of the past, but you’d be wrong. The number of faxes sent each year is only growing. One explanation is that fax machines are still easier to use for documents that are written by hand. But the real reason for their continued use has to do with security.
E-mail is convenient, but it can be hacked (非法入侵). This is a danger for governments, hospitals, and other organizations that deal with sensitive data (数据). Using a fax machine makes it possible for information to go from one place to another without needing to be saved on a computer. It can then be kept in a physical location where it’s impossible to be hacked.
Fax machine technology grew quickly throughout the nineteenth and twentieth centuries, and it continues to develop today. Long live the fax machine!

China has a census every 10 years. At the first one, there were about 600 million people in China. Now China’s population has boomed. It was about 1.37 billion in the 6th census, according to the National Bureau of Statistics (NBS).
“The census is very important for every citizen (公民),” said Ning Jizhe, director of the NBS. “It will help improve infrastructure (基础建设) and public services.” For example, if the census shows that there are many children living in a certain area, the government will know that it should build more schools there. Scientists can also learn more about population growth from the census. In some years, the population grows faster than in others. Even in the same year, population growth is different in different places. Scientists can use the information to figure out what causes growth in certain years and places.
2020’s census is different from past ones in one important way. For the first time, citizens will be encouraged to use smartphones and other digital tools to record their information, Xinhua reported.
