Dear Paul,
In your letter you asked me for some advice on how to prepare for an oral report on an ancient Chinese scientist, and now I am writing with sincerity to give you some necessary suggestions.
What follows, as you requested in your letter, is my advice on the oral report. To begin with, you are expected to select an ancient Chinese scientist and conduct extensive research on his life and work. Apart from that，you are also supposed to organize your findings into an outline, covering his major achievements and contributions.
What I suggested would be beneficial for you, and I do hope you can follow them. If you need more detailed interpretation of my proposals, I would be available any time for you.

Unfolded in the elaborately-painted left cartoon is an enlightening scene that two citizens are jogging in the public fitness area and a young adult nearby proudly says, "The new park which was built near my home isso desirable". In the right bar chart, we can see that the number of parks ina city rose sharply from 406 in 2020 to 607 in 2022. There is no doubt that its symbolic meaning subtly conveyed should be given deep consideration.
What the picture and the chart convey are a favorable phenomenon that even more people now increasingly pay close attention to doing exercise, which is vital to a society. The following factors, from my perspective, might illustrate this theme. First and foremost, doing exercise is beneficial to physical health and it can help reduce obesity and lower fat content by promoting blood circulation. This is why more youngsters are willing to participate in exercise regularly in life. What's more, it can be attributed to the relevant policy from our government to promote the growth of parks. According to a survey conducted by China Research Center, up to 1000 new parks were built last year all over the nation in order to encourage citizens to do exercise.
In summary, active nationwide involvement in physical exercise bringsdual benefits of physical and mental wellness. The government should strengthen promotion and encouragement to help citizens develop goodexercise habits and routines. Only with participation from all sectors of thesociety can we build a physically strong and energetic community.

How automatic door mechanisms work
文章来源：https://www.howitworksdaily.com/how-automatic-door-mechanisms-work/【刘凯老师】
There’s nothing more welcoming than a door opening for you. Without the need to be touched to open or close, automatic doors are essential in improving disabled access to buildings and helping provide general convenience to commercial buildings.
Self-sliding doors began to emerge as a commercial product in 1960 after being invented six years previously by Americans Dee Horton and Lew Hewitt. They started out as a novelty feature, but as their use has grown their benefits have extended within our technologically advanced world. Particularly useful in busy locations or during times of emergency, the doors act as crowd management by reducing the obstacles put in peoples’ way.
As well as making access both in and out of buildings easier for people, the difference in the way many of these doors open helps reduce the total area occupied by them. Automatic doors often open to the side, with the panels sliding across one another. Replacing swing doors, these allow smaller buildings to maximize the usable space inside without the need to clear the way for a large, protruding door. There are many different types of automatic door, with each relying on specific signals to tell them when to open. Although these methods differ, the main principles remain the same.
Each automatic door system analyses the light, sound, weight or movement in their vicinity as a signal to open. Sensor types are chosen to complement the different environments they are needed in. For example, a busy street might not suit a motion-censored door, as it would constantly be opening for passers-by. A pressure-sensitive mat would be more appropriate to limit the surveyed area.
