21、The first-ever Shaolin Temple in Zambia, located in Lusaka, Zambia’s capital, is known for its Chinese cultural activities, which include martial arts programs. The place is a hive of activity, particularly on weekends and holidays, as people from different walks of life come to get a taste of Chinese culture.
For residents of Ngwerere compound (作特定用途的围地), an informal settlement in a suburb of Lusaka, the Shaolin Temple is a symbol of hope for young and underprivileged people. The Ngwerere compound, just a stone’s throw from the Shaolin Temple grounds, is a low-income community that wrestles with challenges, including the lack of access to education and recreational facilities for young people.
“We are very happy to have the Shaolin Temple close by. Many young people will benefit from the education and skills programs being offered at the temple,” says Andrew Miti, chairman of the Ngwerere compound. Mitimentions that a good number of parents in the Ngwerere compound are unable to provide food for their families or meet their children’s needs because they lack resources. He lauds Shaolin Temple management for providing education, food and shelter to poor children, stating that the discipline and sound values embedded in (植根于) the temple’s programs will help improve the lives of young people from the Ngwerere compound and other poorer areas.
Shaolin Temple programs coordinator Yan Ming reveals that there are currently 27 boys aged 6 to 16 from very vulnerable backgrounds receiving education support, food and shelter at the temple. The children, he says, come from different parts of Lusaka.
Interactions with residents of the Ngwerere compound reveal that they are excited to have a place nearby where youngsters can be guided to become both responsible and productive citizens.
Musonda, at 18, born in Ngwerere, remains optimistic that the Shaolin Temple’s youth-friendly programs will not only ensure that local youngsters have a better future, but will also help reduce juvenile delinquency (青少年犯罪) in the Ngwerere compound.
Clever Malambo, 27, echoes Musonda’s thoughts and says that the Shaolin Temple in Zambia is serving as a beacon of hope for many young people in the Ngwerere compound and beyond. “I am certain that the programs offered at this temple will inspire many youths to dream big and to achieve a lot in life,” Malambo says.

23、What if we had the power to control time, instead of moving from the past to the present to the future? What if we could jump, loop and travel through time in a machine? What if we could go wherever and whenever we pleased?
This ability would allow us to witness historic wonders, change decisions and see people from the past. We could right wrongs and stop wars from starting.
The mysterious puzzle of time has kept people debating its nature for hundreds of years. Science fiction writers have turned it into imaginative stories. Some scientists have even attempted to explain it using math. This math tries to make the dream of time travel come true.
The scientist Albert Einstein said that time and space are one thing. He called it “spacetime.” Einstein said that there are three dimensions in space: height, width and depth. A scientist named Hermann Minkowski added time as a fourth dimension.
Einstein introduced two ideas that have led to theories about the possibility of time travel. The first is relativity. The idea of relativity is that the force of gravity causes space to bend, which causes time to twist. The second idea focuses on special relativity. The idea is that a traveler moving super-fast through flat spacetime will enter the future. Einstein considered time “relative” because it is measured based on where we are on Earth or in space.
Stephen Hawking is a famous scientist. He believes that a time machine will never be built. If it were possible, he thinks we would already know. If a time machine could be built, how come no one from the future has invaded us?
The first science fiction story with this theme is The Clock That Went Backward by Edward P. Mitchell, which was published in 1881. Since then, thousands of books, films and television shows have explored the idea of time travel, in which some tools such as phones, watches, photographs and old books take travelers backward and forward.
Will time travel ever happen? Who knows? Most important is to keep your eyes open and have a sense of wonder.

Divided into two parts，one depicts (描绘) St.George，the patron saint (守护神) of soldiers，while the other has an angel of peace, along with the words at the bottom,“John Hugh All Gallipoli,6th June,1915”. Two trees with local birds on the branches can be seen and a kiwi walks at the bottom- reminders that John was a lover of birds.
“There are many war memorials in the church," says the church. “However the ‘John Allen window' stands out; it touches people because of the beautiful design, the New Zealand birds and because John's story, of a life so full of promise ending tragically in the war,reflects the lives and stories of so many others involved in World War I.”
